No, I don’t have any experience or user feedback to share on that one. I can’t see how it would be better than the Dell, though, and Iiyama don’t offer the same aftersales support level as Dell should you be unfortunate enough to need to use that.

Hi, I ended up buying the S2419HN because it was cheaper than the S2419H, and the only difference being the lack of speakers, which I don´t use.

I used the Amazon.es link posted here https://forum.pcmonitors.info/topic/international-amazon-links/, did it work? Thank you.

[PCM2]

Good choice going for the ‘HN’ model if you have no interest in the integrated speakers. When did you make this purchase? We didn’t receive any orders for that model recently, but I appreciate you trying to support the website.

[thompson]

I ordered it last friday, shame that it didn´t work 🙁

[PCM2]

Don’t worry about it. Have you had a chance to use the monitor a bit yet? Any thoughts on it would be appreciated. 🙂

Hi PCM2, after reading almost every reviews I could find, I must say your reviews are simply the best. Great job.

I was looking for a budget 22-24″ IPS like Viewsonic VX2476smhd, BenQ GW2480(~usd105), LG 24MK600M, LG 24MP59G, Acer Nitro vg240y bmiix, and of course, Dell’s. Other than user reviews, it’s so hard to get detailed opinion/review. The only thing I am sure is VX2476 has a slightly washed out color, not so sure about GW2480 and vg240y, LGs are fine but the major vertical blue/orange pixels issue were brought up on reddit so many times that I don’t dare to buy them. I managed to see a 24mk600m in person but the store was using VGA so it makes no differences lol. The VX2476 looks nice as well.

Now I am considering getting P2219H directly from Dell (Malaysia) which costs around USD154.72 with three years warranty. Is it a good choice compared to those I mentioned above? Dell also told me that they have a refurbished S2419H (not exactly refurb, it was a cancelled order) which costs RM519 (~USD123), but my gpu has only one HDMI and DVI-D port with 3 DP ports, and I would love to use DP considering I occasionally connect my TV or Wacom tablet using the HDMI. Should I go for this S2419H instead? Since this is one of your recommended models as well.

P.S. Refurbished U2312HM is around 80-90 usd at my place too.

Hi CrunchyKitkatZ,

I’m glad you like our reviews.

The “special” thing about the Dell S2419H and thing which lifts it above the others you mention is the glossy screen surface. It improves clarity and vibrancy and works very nicely in rooms with a bit of light striking the screen surface indirectly. But you need to be more careful with your room lighting and any light sources directly behind you or to the side that would strike the screen surface could be problematic. If you feel the glossy screen surface appeals to you and you have a suitable place to put the monitor, this may be a good avenue to explore. Otherwise the Dell P2219H would be a nice matte screen alternative. Assuming (and I think this is a reasonable assumption) that it’s similar to the larger models which I know to offer good all-round performance. The overall build quality and ergonomic flexibility are nice additions there, too.

My desktop is in my living room which mostly lighted by ceiling led fluorescents. And my walls are white which I could imagine being a disaster unless i max out the screen brightness.
I guess P2219H it is then. On paper the p22-24 17h and 19h models are pretty identical so hope they perform the same. Plus I always appreciate that better pixel density from a 22″ 1080p panel.

[PCM2]

White walls aren’t necessarily an issue, I’ve got the same. If they’re lit up by bright light then yes, they could certainly be a problem. The ceiling lights could be an issue depending on their angle, but anyway it sounds like you’d rather not have to worry about that so I feel the P2219H should serve you well. 🙂

Hello there people. I´m trying to decide which budget monitor to buy, mainly for Photoshop. I know i´m not getting the best or even something decent (for colour accuracy and all of that) but it is what i can afford at the time ( up until $350). Monitors in my country are really expensive. So i wanted to know based on your experience or anything else, which one you think is the best built and all.

1: LG 24BK550Y-B. Price: $300.

2: LG 24MK430H. Price: $234.

3: AOC 24V2H. Price: $350.

It looks like the two LG´s are very similar in terms of screen and colour, i honestly don´t care about ergonomics, but the 24BK550Y-B looks more solidly built.

Thanks!

[PCM2]

I’ve merged your thread with an existing topic. Simply to repeat what I’ve said here, really. There are a large number of ~24″ IPS models on the market now and many of them have very minor performance differences. I haven’t tested those specific models, although I’ve received from user feedback about the AOC 24V2Q (same as H with slightly different ports, possibly some other minor differences) and the user was very happy with it. He uses it for photo editing and was coming from a Dell U2414H. He said the AOC was “nicer” in that it had a better factory calibration – although he made further corrections with his colorimeter.

It’s always advisable, whichever model you go for, to invest in a colorimeter or similar device if your budget allows. If you’re doing colour-critical work and that’s a key focus. The factory calibration in many of these models is generally passable and some are better than others, but you’ll find there’s a lot of inter-unit variation. Models like the Dell U2417H and U2419H are always going to have a certain level of calibration which is relatively good. Although even then, colour temperature variation between units is common and things change over time – there’s no substitute for calibration and re-calibration with your own colorimeter.

Hello, good people of PCM.

I already saw the new AOC 24G2U 144hz monitor and if i can stretch my budget i will get it (it’s around 150 euros)
If not, can i get a recomendation from these monitors? I’m open to other suggestions

LG 24MP59G-P
LG 24MK600M-B
BenQ GW2480
AOC 24V2H

By the way, what is really the difference between those tweo LGs?

Thanks in advance

[PCM2]

Thread merged, see previous reply. 🙂 Depending on what you use the monitor for and your preferences, the extra refresh rate and wide colour gamut of the AOC 24G2(U) could really set it apart. The fact it’s only marginally more expensive than some 60Hz IPS-type options and cheaper than others really speaks volumes about how good the value for money proposition is.

[dpenela]

Thank you for the answer. I should have added more info to the original post, Sorry about that. 24″ IPS and matte is a must, 60 or 75hz is perfect too. VESA mount would be preferable.

I don’t really need 144hz monitor even tho the AOC 24G2(U) looks amazing, even with that huge foot (and it has mesa mount), but it’s around 190 euros here. All the other models i said are 150 euros or almost that. That’s the budget cap, 150.

I like that AOC 24V2Q but the base looks extremely wobbly and has no VESA mount. I have seen videos of it and the wobble worries me.

I saw the Samsung S24F350FH which look great too.

It would be for work (i work with photoshop, illustration and image editing) and gaming. I like those LGs, the LG 24MP59G-P and LG 24MK600M-B.

[PCM2]

The Samsung S24F350FH is a potentially good option, but users have reported flickering issues. And there is a suggestion that this can occur when not using FreeSync and just on the desktop as well. For a long time I recommended the Samsung S24E390HL which uses a similar AD-PLS panel. It’s a good monitor, which I used to own myself. I haven’t received any recent user feedback on the SF350, so I’m not sure if the flickering issues had been cleaned up on newer revisions – and not everyone seemed to notice/get the issue anyway. It’s a bit of an odd one.

I’m not sure on pricing for you, but the Dell P2419H is a good solid product with nice ergonomic flexibility and a decent factory calibration. I appreciate you not wanting a monitor that feels flimsy, and therefore avoiding the 24V2Q for that reason. The LG models should be decent enough for your uses, so I wouldn’t be afraid to go for one of those as they seem to tick your boxes.

[dpenela]

Well the Vesa mount is not top priority.

The video i saw about AOC was for a 27″ which wobbles quite a bit. The 24″ version doesn’t look like it suffers from this problem (but still no vesa mount). The LG 24MP59G-P was my favorite choice but it has no vesa mount while the and LG 24MK600M-B has.

That Dell, the 24″ version, is about 160 euros where i am at which is a nice price and i can do 10 euros more but lacks some features. I will look into it too.

That AOC 24G2(U) looks great but over my buget.

So my choices are:
LG 24MP59G-P
LG 24MK600M-B – it looks the same has the LG above, just different shape and has a mesa mount, no?
AOC 24V2Q – looks gorgeous

We will see for Black Friday

One last question while i have your attention. A good 1440p IPS monitor? between 150 and 250 euros?

Thank you

[PCM2]

The cheapest WQHD models I could recommend (25-27″) are the AOC Q2577PWQ and BenQ GW2765HT. You might find some cheaper alternatives, but you won’t see my recommending them specifically.

[okwell]

is there low priced IPS with good accuracy, good color reproduction? aim for 24G2 and 276E8VJSB, which one is better, or is there any other choices? thanks

[PCM2]

okwell,

I’ve merged your thread with this one as it’s an appropriate place. As mentioned here there are a plethora of budget Full HD IPS models on the market, suitable for colour-critical work. You didn’t mention “colour critical work”, specifically. So when you say “good accuracy” what exactly do you mean and why do you need it? The AOC 24G2 offers an extended colour gamut, comfortably beyond sRGB but not reaching specific extended standards- good for vibrancy, not so much for accuracy. The sRGB emulation mode is rather restrictive as covered in the review, most notably it locks of brightness control. If you own a colorimeter so you can profile the monitor then that’s not an issue, for colour-aware applications at least.

As for the Philips 276E8VJSB, the same applies. Although the native colour gamut only extends a bit beyond sRGB so most users would find it good to go for colour-critical work. Full profiling with your own colorimeter is still advantageous, but you wouldn’t have such noticeable oversaturation as with the AOC if you just use the native gamut without profiling the monitor. If it’s purely for work purposes rather than gaming the 276E8VJSB is really a better choice, especially with the significant boost in pixel density and more useable native gamut for sRGB content.

Hy everyone ,

In my country there are still some BenQ EW277HDR units for sale . At the moment my pc have some problems like crash when i
watch movies . It`s a old pc with Windows Vista .
And i thought to buy a monitor to connect with my smartphone ( Huawei Mate 10 Pro ) for watching movies , YouTube videos and
surfing the net . But my smartphone just have two kind of screen resolution ( FHD – 2160 X 1080 and HD -1440×720 ).
My questions are :
How will the BenQ EW277HDR behave with my smartphone resolutions ? I will have to change something in my phone or in monitor ? Most of my movies are 1920 x 1080‎ .
