Replacement Monitor for dual setup

sticker

Hi All,

So after some helpful advice here today:
https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057806443

My old Dell 24" is dead.


Here is the recent monitor I have that is still running fine.

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/dell-u2415?c=ie&cs=iedhs1&l=en&s=dhs

I'm doing web development from a home studio and was wondering if you guys could make some recommendations for a "reasonable" replacement 24".

I'm not looking to spend that much again by a long stretch - Its not a gaming rig so a decent budget one would be fine. As long as it sits into the Dell dual monitor bracket. Doesent need to be Dell!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

PS - If I buy from Amazon UK - is the shipping free to Ireland? (it says UK - but I thought it included us too..?)

like this one for example:

Is the monitor mount VESA or not? If no, you'll need another Dell.

I;m not sure see attached. THis is my spare bracket and the connections on my AMD gfx card. Does this limit me? Is small the connection a "DP" connection?

Thanks

Mounting:

Those two flanges on the top are a Dell proprietary system. A non dell screen wont work without jankey third party adapters. Best buy Dell again.

Dell Outlet might be a good avenue to look into. Some real bargains sometimes.


IO:
You have DVI, HDMI, DP, DP. Unless you've a third panel HDMI and DVI alone is plenty.

Yeah, often the stuff appears new but costs about half the normal price.

As a lot of the dell monitors with same vesa connections as you require are on the expensive side. Maybe you could replace the dual display mount with another and this way you could buy a second screen with no issue saving money still.

Some on amazon have gone up in price lately and black friday is coming so you maybe able to wait until then (24th November) for some deals.

This is the compatible screen but €195 just so it works with mounts you have.

Even cheaper on amazon

Hi, the dual stand broke my heart getting into place - so I'd nearly prefer to buy another Dell Monitor.

I'm not following you re: Vesa connections... Is this the bracket? Will all 24" Dells not fit this bracket?

What do I need to tell Dell Outlet that relates to what I need in terms of back mounting?

Thanks!

OK - So Dell Outloet do not sell Monitors, but Direct direct can offer me this for €185 inc VAT

This will work on my current Dell stand.

I think I'll have to bite the bullet... What do you guys think?

Yes they need to have the monitor stand connecting into same location as your desk mount connect to. You will need to question who ever you decide to buy it that its compatible.

Yes, as per my post above just now - Dell have identified the stand from previous purchase and receomended the one above. Think I'll go for it.

If you havent already purchased. Take alook at nrgit who are authorised dell resellers.

I have purchased several monitors (10+) over the last 3-4 years and they have been excellent and arrive as new in dell boxes

The one you linked from Dell(S2415H) is available there for £139 (Use ParcelMotel or similar)
https://www.nrgit.biz/products/dell-s2415h-24-inch-ah-ips-monitor-seller-refurbished

Below is a good explanation to the codes for dell monitors and the first two digits refer to screen size

E Series: basic, standard consumer grade monitor. E for economy I guess? These have limited inputs (usually only VGA and DVI) and no adjustable stand. Some have TN panels, some newer ones have IPS panels.
S Series: S is for Studio, usually they are designed to have sleek looks, so thin bezels, edge to edge, glass, glossy panel, things like that. These usually have IPS panels.
P Series: P is for professional. These are all IPS panels, they are designed for businesses and offices in mind, with good ergonomic adjustable stand, DisplayPort and DVI inputs, though not sleek thin bezels or higher end features like daisy-chaining.
U Series: U is for UltraSharp, Dell's premium line. These are all IPS panels, and basically are a step up from the P series, adding features like daisy-chaining, more advanced color control in the OSD, more inputs, factory color calibration, though the specifics vary from model to model.
