The Dell UltraSharp 24-Inch USB-C hub monitor is a full HD display that can be used in portrait or landscape mode to suit almost any work style. Read our review of the Dell UltraSharp 24 USB-C Hub monitor to see if it’s right for you.
If you’re in the market for a monitor to upgrade your current PC or a secondary display for your desktop or laptop, you’d be hard pressed to find a better solution than the Dell UltraSharp U2421E. With a quick and easy setup process and a sleek and practical design, it looks at home on both home and traditional work desks. The Dell UltraSharp U2421E retails for $469 (£279, AU$509), putting it on solid footing with other hub displays like the $349 (£318, AU$538) HP EliteDisplay E243d and the $399 (about £290, AU$510) Acer H7 series. It may seem a bit of a high price for a 24-inch screen, but this monitor packs plenty of features to make it a worthy investment. The USB-C input allows you to connect your laptop to the screen and use it as a secondary display or full docking station, making it perfect for anyone who needs more space to multitask with several programs and applications at once or prefers a traditional desktop configuration. The USB-C port also allows for quick-charging of compatible mobile devices and peripherals to keep your workflow moving smoothly throughout the day. Connecting the monitor to your desktop is also fairly straightforward. Though it includes a DisplayPort connector cable, it doesn’t come with an HDMI cord, so you’ll have to either find a spare or invest in a video card that supports DP connectivity. The included stand allows the monitor to be used in either portrait or landscape mode; vertical orientation is perfect for using as a secondary display on smaller desks. Switching screen orientations is about as easy as it gets: just rotate the screen to the left or right and change the display settings on your computer to match.
