Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £117.50 ex-VAT, the Dell Plus S2425HSM looks like one of those “good enough to get on with work” monitors rather than a wow-factor purchase. The IPS panel and 144Hz refresh rate make it a decent fit for mixed office work plus light esports-style usage—web apps, spreadsheets, and normal Windows scrolling look crisp, and the higher refresh helps if you’re doing lots of UI motion. The two HDMI connections are also practical in a day-to-day office where you might swap between a laptop dock and a desktop without faffing around.

That said, it’s still a 24" Full HD panel, so I wouldn’t buy this if you’re expecting lots of desktop real estate or fine text work at close range—your eyes will notice the pixel density compared with QHD/4K options. Also, the integrated speakers are typically “background audio,” not something you’d rely on for meetings or training calls if you’re picky. I’d recommend it for cost-conscious SMEs, admin teams, and anyone using a laptop dock who wants reliable IPS viewing and smooth everyday responsiveness—just don’t buy it as a monitor you’ll keep for years of high-end design or spreadsheet-heavy work without considering higher-resolution alternatives.
