What's great about it: Display size; color; sharp details
What's not so great: Now, I want ANOTHER ONE!!
My old Dell 1905 monitor is going bad after 8 years, and I needed to replace it. I ordered a couple from Dell, but returned them due to 16:9 viewing area was smaller than I wanted. Then I found this U2412M and tried it out. Absolutely love it!!! The Preset Display Area ::(H x V):: of 20.3 inches x 12.7 inches ..is what I LOVE most!!! It DOES make all the difference when you have lots of windows open for multitasking. IF you want to get away from the whole "Widescreen" epidemic (more Horizontal than Vertical)...then get this baby!! You'll LOVE it!
In other reviews, people have mentioned glaring and blurring. I haven't noticed anything of the sort. It may do that IF you take it out of native resolution of 1920x1200, or if your video card drivers need updated.
Mine has SUPERB COLOR, SHARPNESS, and LOTS OF SPACE! The only bad thing is -- now, I'm wanting another one for Dell Server.

What's great about it: sharpness and quality of screen, 16:10 ratio
What's not so great: slight backlight bleed at corner
I bought this monitor because of the high resolution, quality, and price. I had originally shopped for a 27 inch monitor, but couldn't justify the high price for just 3 more inches. At the time of my purchase I could buy (2) 24" monitors for the price of (1) 27" monitor. I selected the dell because of the 16:10 ratio, high resolution, and quality of dell screens. Overall I am very happy with this monitor.

great picture quality and faithful color representation but whites and text may appear blurred due to the anti-glare effect. users of glossy screens will notice this right away. has a displayport which is great for mac owners without having to use a dongle.

What's great about it: Color, size, stand
What's not so great: Slight glare during the day
I researched monitors for approx. 3 months before I decided on the Dell. I am a hobbyist photographer with pro aspirations, so I needed a screen that would accurately reproduce colors but not break the bank. This Dell fits the bill perfectly; plenty of real estate, great viewing angles, and amazing color. I have noticed some of the glare other reviewers were speaking about but don't let that be a deal-breaker for you, this is an excellent monitor for the price. Highly recommend.

What's great about it: after profiling, excellent color match for our bigger professional NEC monitor.
What's not so great: nothing so far
this monitor is 16:10, much better than those wide skinny things. the anti glare is awesome, no excess issues like some people report. screen lowers down to within 1.5 inches of the desk, great for people wearing bi-focals. excellent color matching to our expensive NEC pro monitor. We used a tft-central profile then further adjusted it by eyeball. Makes it great for color work. Bestbuy shipped it to Honolulu at no extra cost which is faboo.

What's great about it: Excellent picture quality.
This is my fifth Dell brand display. The oldest one died and this was its replacement. Although a little expensive, the price is in the ball park for an IPS LED 1920 x 1200 LCD display. The screen size is excellent for working with multiple documents, with web page development, and with Photoshop.

What's great about it: 1920x1200 is getting hard to find. I bought two.
What's not so great: Brings out the flaws of other monitors that I have placed near them.
I bought two of these as I was looking to replace a couple of Samsung 930b's 1280x1024 (4:3) and this monitor was rated well by reviewers and MaxPC magazine. I like the aspect ratio since most new monitors are in the 1920x1080 (16:9) category and that cuts the top and bottom off some games. This monitor gives you a little of that back with 1920x1200 (16:10). They are easy to set up and the height adjustment is pretty cool the way that it works and is fast and easy. The controls are easy to use. It has a quick setting feature that you can use when viewing a lot of text that tones down the brightness, thereby easier on the eyes. For gaming, internet surfing, pictures, and videos I noticed no flaws just clear, bright, beautiful colors. Overall a very nice monitor. I used my old DVI-D cables although some nice DVI-I ones came with them.

What's great about it: The image and color are very good and the price is great.
I bought two Dell UltraSharp IPS LED 24" monitors to increase my workspace. I adjusted them slightly so the brightness and contrast match each other. It is great to have the two screens. The price and value are outstanding. I would recommend these for everyday use.

What's great about it: Large, clear screen. Nice size for the desktop.
What's not so great: Switching between DVI and VGA inputs for different devices
A very nice monitor. I use it mostly for office-type applications, not gaming. The images driven by my digital (DVI) output are very clear. When I use the VGA input (from my laptop) I see some blur in text (could be my laptop graphics card). I really like the extra height on the screen (1200 dpi vs. the more standard 1080 dpi) that gives me the area I need for multiple office documents. The adjustable height, tilt, and swivel are nice too (many other monitors in this price range don't have adjustable height). Full screen rotation is a plus too.

What's great about it: Brightness, Height / Tilt adjustments, Size
What's not so great: Nothing
I bought this to replace an old Samsung 17" monitor. I thought the price was fantastic compared to other similar monitors. I use it all day long for business purposes and wanted to have a very adjustable monitor. This monitor has a wide range of motion and is very easy to adjust.
Setup was logical and simple and no adjustments were necessary. The screen is very bright, I actually had to turn it down a few notches.
I did consider buying a monitor with a glossy screen but I don't watch movies or play games on this and my old monitor was a matte finish as well. Since it is on all day I didn't want to have any concerns about reflections from a glossy screen.
I was worried I would not really need a screen this large. But this fits nicely on the desk and it is great to have this much screen real estate to work with.
Very happy with the purchase. Not sure you can beat the combo of features and quality for this price.

What's not so great: Short power cord
We purchased this TV for the bedroom and it's perfect. The power cord is rather short if you have it sitting on a high piece of furniture. We have it hooked up to a regular cable box and the picture is still OK. I'm sure the picture would be much better with an HD box but for this purpose it's fine for us.

I shopped around for a nice LED IPS monitor under the $300 mark before I settled on this one. I wanted two displays between 21"-24" for photo/video editing. Looked at a couple lower budget monitors but there was things about all of them I didn't like. The U2412M is AMAZING. Crystal clear resolution and brilliant colors right out of the box. Currently running them both with my 2012 Mac Mini one with HDMI to DVI and the other Thunderbolt (mini display port) to DVI. I would definitely recommend spending the extra $100 for these monitors.
