Dell SE2425HM 23.8-inch 100Hz Full HD IPS Monitor

A straightforward Full HD screen for daily computing

The Dell SE2425HM is a 23.8-inch IPS monitor for general work, study, browsing and home entertainment. Dell’s official specification describes a Full HD 1920 × 1080 panel with a maximum 100Hz refresh rate over HDMI. The four catalog images show the monitor from the front, an angled front view, the rear casing and a side profile. They depict a black display with a three-sided narrow bezel and a simple tilt stand. This is a conventional desktop monitor rather than a USB-C dock or all-in-one audio display. Dell lists HDMI and VGA inputs, an internal power supply and a VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting interface. It is suited to a desk where Full HD resolution and basic video connectivity meet the user’s needs.

23.8-inch screen and Full HD workspace

The screen measures 23.8 inches diagonally and uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. The native resolution is 1920 × 1080, giving a familiar desktop layout for documents, browser tabs, spreadsheets, video calls and media. Dell lists 93 pixels per inch and a pixel pitch of 0.2745 mm. Full HD is commonly used with office software and standard video, but users needing more workspace or sharper small text may prefer a QHD or 4K monitor. For best clarity, set the computer to 1920 × 1080 and choose scaling that keeps text comfortable at the viewing distance. The physical screen is 24-inch class; the active viewable area is 23.8 inches.

IPS panel, viewing angle and color

Dell specifies in-plane switching (IPS) technology and 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. IPS can help keep the picture usable when the viewer is off-center, although it does not ensure professional color calibration. Dell lists 16.7 million colors and a minimum 72% NTSC color gamut measured using CIE 1931. That gamut figure is not the same as a guarantee of sRGB accuracy, factory calibration or suitability for print proofing. The display is an LED Edgelight system with 250 cd/m² typical brightness and 1000:1 typical contrast. For color-critical work, use a calibrated display and request measurement data rather than relying on panel type alone.

Refresh rate depends on the port

Dell lists a maximum 1920 × 1080 refresh rate of 100Hz over HDMI. The VGA input supports Full HD up to 60Hz. If you want 100Hz, connect the computer through HDMI with a suitable cable, then select 100Hz in the operating system’s advanced display settings. The source graphics output and driver must support the mode as well. If 100Hz does not appear, confirm the input, cable, driver and resolution; the monitor cannot exceed the maximum of the chosen port. This input-specific distinction matters when a computer has both analog VGA and digital HDMI outputs. The 100Hz mode can make scrolling and supported motion appear smoother than 60Hz, but it does not raise the computer’s rendered frame rate.

Response time and motion behavior

The official Dell specification gives 8ms Gray-to-Gray in Normal mode and 5ms Gray-to-Gray in Fast mode. These are different operating modes and should be presented with their labels. A lower response-time setting can reduce transition blur but may affect overshoot or picture quality depending on the panel and content. This model is not advertised by Dell with a 1ms MPRT mode. For ordinary web, office and video use, Normal mode may be sufficient; users can compare Fast mode during motion and choose the setting that looks best. Actual results also depend on the source frame rate and selected refresh rate.

Brightness, contrast and anti-glare surface

Dell lists typical brightness of 250 cd/m² and typical static contrast of 1000:1. The screen has an anti-glare finish with a 3H hard coating. These specifications support ordinary indoor use but are not a promise of outdoor sunlight readability or HDR performance. Adjust brightness to suit the room and avoid placing the display directly opposite a bright window. The coating can reduce reflections, though strong direct light may remain visible. Dell’s standard feature list focuses on a Full HD everyday monitor; HDR certification is not listed. This copy uses Dell’s numeric specifications rather than inventing additional display technologies.

Eye comfort and environmental credentials

Dell describes Eye Comfort technology and markets the SE2425HM as certified by TÜV Rheinland for 3-star eye comfort. Its technical datasheet also lists ENERGY STAR 8.0, RoHS compliance and low-content environmental features. Eye comfort modes can make long sessions more pleasant for some users, but comfort varies; take breaks, adjust brightness and keep sensible room lighting. The model is specified as supporting up to 12 hours of operation per day. This is an operating recommendation, not a guarantee of performance under every workload. Dell’s product information also mentions mercury-free panel glass and arsenic-free glass, alongside BFR/PVC reduction statements.

HDMI and VGA connections

The official port list includes one HDMI 1.4 input with HDCP 1.4 and one VGA input. HDMI supports Full HD at up to 100Hz; VGA is specified up to Full HD at 60Hz. There is no DisplayPort, USB-C, USB hub, audio output or integrated speaker. HDMI may carry audio from the source, but this monitor has no onboard speakers or audio jack to reproduce it. If the computer offers only USB-C or DisplayPort, an appropriate adapter may be needed; confirm the adapter supports 1920 × 1080 at the desired refresh rate. The rear view image shows a simple HDMI/VGA arrangement along with power and a security-lock slot.

Stand, VESA mount and placement

The included stand supports tilt from −5° to +21°. Dell does not list height adjustment, swivel or pivot on this stand. For a different ergonomic range, use a compatible VESA arm with the 100 × 100 mm pattern. Dell gives dimensions of approximately 538.64 mm wide, 412.26 mm high and 178.81 mm deep with the stand. Without the stand, the display is about 538.64 × 324.21 × 47.70 mm. Weight is 3.47 kg with stand and cables, or 2.80 kg without stand. Check desk space and the arm’s load rating before installation. The Kensington lock slot allows attachment of a separately purchased cable lock.

Power use and what is in the box

The monitor has an internal power supply and accepts 100–240V AC at 50 or 60Hz. Dell lists 12.8W typical on-mode consumption, 0.3W standby and 0.3W off; the 28.5W maximum is defined under a separate load condition. The Dell datasheet lists the monitor with stand, power cable, 1.8m HDMI cable, QR card and safety information. Regional packaging may vary, so confirm the actual Bangladesh seller’s box contents. The internal supply means there is no external power brick to place on the desk. Keep the ventilation area clear and use the supplied or Dell-approved power cable.

Warranty and regional service differences

Dell’s global SE2425HM datasheet lists a three-year Worldwide Advanced Exchange service plan, while Dell’s US product page lists a one-year warranty for its US part number. Bangladesh retailers, including Star Tech and Daffodil, list three years locally. Warranty service depends on the local distributor, service provider and exact regional stock code. Ask which company handles a claim, whether an invoice and serial number are needed, and how dead pixels or panel defects are assessed. The catalog previously stated a generic manufacturer/importer warranty; this listing now describes the common local three-year claim while clearly advising buyers to confirm the actual provider and written terms.

Who may want the SE2425HM

The Dell SE2425HM may suit a student, office user or home setup that needs an uncomplicated IPS Full HD monitor with HDMI and VGA, a tilt stand and 100Hz HDMI refresh. It is less suitable when the user requires a high-resolution workspace, adjustable-height stand, integrated speakers, DisplayPort, USB-C docking or color-critical calibration. Users with a 100Hz goal should connect over HDMI rather than VGA. For multiple monitors, consider whether the slim bezel and available desk width work with the existing setup. Before checkout, confirm local warranty coverage, delivery contents, price and the exact model on the box.

Quick setup checklist

Attach the stand, connect power and choose HDMI for 100Hz or VGA for up to 60Hz. In display settings, select 1920 × 1080 and the highest mode supported by the computer and cable. Set brightness to suit the room, then try Normal or Fast response mode according to motion preference. Tilt the screen to reduce glare and check that the base sits securely. If mounting on an arm, use the 100 × 100 mm VESA pattern and respect the load rating. For sound, connect speakers or headphones to the computer because this display has no built-in audio output. Keep the invoice and serial number for the local warranty provider.
