Dell Model numbers are simple once you understand them. "P" means Pro Series. "24" is the size (i.e. 24"). "18" is the model year. "H" I think means "Height-adjustable stand"...or it could mean HD as in 1080p. "T" means touch capable. So a P2317H is a pro series 23" monitor, model introduced in 2017 with Height-adjustable stand.
I got one of these for free maybe two years ago.. Someone left it in the "free area" of my building. I grabbed it thinking it might come in handy sometime.. Stuck it in a closet and never thought much more about it. Finally pulled the thing out the other month and ended up being pretty impressed by the thing. I connect it to a macbook so no touchscreen functionality but beyond that, it's definitely been a solid display for a 1080.. I mostly use it as a second display for running youtube in fullscreen in the background or gaming while keeping my laptop's display available and usable for other stuff. Anyway, still a totally acceptable display. Thanks stranger who left it for me!
Great review. I ended up getting this monitor. Yes the background is music is distracting. I much prefer listening to your narration without distraction. Thanks.
Alright, just taking notes here; so I’m clear that everyone liked the background music? Yes? Well shit y’all strap in we’ll crank it to 11 and find more.

Thanks so very much for your honest review..I'm sold and ordered one today ...I'm losing my eye sight so having this monitor in my face will be a Blessing !
Display ports pretty much work the same as hdmi when in 1080p. Dell SFF PCs even those back in the 2012 era have display ports and most GPUs you could upgrade a dell Optiplex or most SSF Pcs for example use DP. With the touchscreen selling as a basis for workplace use (mainly) it makes more sense especially if used with other DELL product. GREAT VID and I'm pretty sure i'm gonna get one
@Eight-Six I'm going to put an airbus overhead panel on this Dell monitor to my home simulator instead I build it with all those expensive complicated switches.
Hmmmm... Might not be good as a primary monitor for gaming. But as a 4th monitor mounted under my triple monitor setup and running GameGlass. It would make for an AMAZING simpit MFD.
The touch feature works via the built in hardware and digitizer screen. If you are using this monitor as display 2 for instance, as long as you have it connected via USB this monitor will be usable as a touch screen. Just in case you are asking 'if I have two monitors, one touch, one not, will they both become touch because of this one' the answer is no.
Thank you so much, could you please recommend an active pen for me? I'm now using Dell P2418HT touch screen, I use it to handwrite some notes and tips for pdf and onenote, but I can't find a suitable active pen.
P2418HT - Touch Screen feature is working in a different monitor I want to use PH2418HT as a secondary monitor, but the touch screen feature don't work properly. If I touch something from PH2418HT, it works in my main non touch screen monitor. I don't want that. I want to use PH2418HT as a secondary monitor, and touch screen feature works on the 2nd monitor only. How can I achieve this?
This monitor caught my attention I was considering a Microsoft Studio or a Lenovo A940, you mentioned that the contrast and color was slightly off. I would use this monitor to edit photos. Just to be clear are you saying it does not do a good job in color reproduction?
The best way to get the most out of the monitor if you are in to hardcore color accuracy and editing would be to use a Spyder or something to calibrate it. They are pricey though so maybe borrowing one would be cheaper/easier =\
Out of all the companies model names at least Dell's are self explanatory. P stands for Professional catagory, 24 is the display size, 18 is the year it was designed, H stands for full HD. It's super easy and convenient when you know how to use it.
I've had this monitor for over 2 years, maybe 3 years or longer...but now the touch function is not working. Any suggestions. It is out of warranty. Hoping you can help.
Basic trouble shooting to make sure it isn't the digitizer - Check updates for your PC, then open device manager and make sure the monitor is detected with no issues (if able right click and check for driver updates on the monitor in device manager). Try it on a different PC to see if the problem persists. If it's a specific dead zone and can be re-created on a separate device it may be that it's hardware failure. un-plug and re-plug with you have not attempted this also.
Hello. I'm having the following problem: I am building a desktop power for music production, gaming , coding and note taking. I am stucked with my choice however of touchscreen: Like in the surface book in OneNote for instance, i want to be able to use my finger to move and unzoom and to use a bluetooth stylus to write. Do you think it exists a solution? It would be nice if you respond quickly, as I need to purchase it quite rapidly. Regards.
Yes, I have 2 connected to a surface book 2 (3 touch devices). There is a tool to detect touch devices and they work however you want. I also tested them with an Asus laptop and they work the same.
@@shivaprasad9229 yes but with a different stand. The included one only rotates horizontally and also as it's showed in the video. I tried what you mention but for me it wasn't ergonomic, in my experience I think you need the touch surface close enough not to flex your arms so much, you are not carrying the surface as a tablet or phone so the interaction is a lot different. I get the most out of these monitors close to my keyboard, ideally with my elbows supported by the desk. I recommend you to try with the included stand.
There are brands with worst confusing serial numbers, Prism+ is one of them ...many others ..Dell serialized is intuitive...24 for monitor size, 18year of manufactured,H for HoghDef and T for Touchscreen. but hey, they're all good monitors...this monitor helps me with my actual touchscreen CBT of Gulfstream NavDisplay n inputs ! Awesome demo though, thanks so much.
Do you mean in the sense that the touch features would work? If thats what you mean I am not entirely sure if thats a thing. If you mean can you plug in an apple tv and watch on it without touch - yes.
Have you experienced any issues like a sort of "touch sleep?" By that I mean if I stop using the touch feature for about a minute it seems to not be touch active anymore until I power off the monitor and power it back on. I've checked the drivers and still experience this issue.
i need a second monitor mostly for yt and discord would this be ok?? i mean it has touch screen which would be nice while gaming so i dont have to alt+tab all the time , do you recomend it for a second monitor on the side?
Man I was excited to find a monitor that could sit so low down to my desk and still be angled up at me but I dont want to pay for the added touch screen functionality since I would never use it. Any recommendations for a monitor/stand that can go as low as this one?
Man, I have this P2418HT monitor and would feel duped by this review. This monitor just cannot handle any kind of handwriting or drawing. Very rough sketching with a dull capacitive stylus is all it can handle. There is no known support for any active stylus.
Do you mind elaboration more. I'm an artist and this comment was what I was looking for. Can you give me any details about your issues. I wanna buy for art but active stylus support and palm rejection is crucial
@@manor-studios I use the 2418HT, even with the same stylus eighty-six does. Imagine stick figures drawn by a 5 year old. Thats what you can draw with this monitor. As an engineer, I find it useful on Teams to be able to circle and highlight certain things. I'm not looking for precision drawing on this monitor, and revert to my ipad with an ipencil for that. If you're asking as an artist, there's no way I would recommend this monitor unless you're only moving chunky items like eighty-six was showing. If you notice, eighty-six does not actually draw anything with it.
I would clamshell my laptop (close it) connect this screen, and use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, end of story as touchscreen keyboards for authors like me, are shite. But i need touchscreen for my work in graphics, and calligraphic sanskrit tutorials. As well as for other uses, so i need this functionality. Tempting to buy
most DELL desktops come with DP only connectors for video, since at least the Optiplex 3040 - 4th gen intel core i, and VGA is the most common connector present in professionnal environnements. so, it indeed makes sense to include DP and VGA cable ;)
I agree. As a supplier for Enterprise equipment I can tell you that although we do send an HDMI with every install with our techs, we get 99% of them back. All of our Enterprise docks have DP or mDP, only a few support HDMI. Our DP allows for Daisy chaining multiple monitors through 1 cable on compatible monitors, the HDMI does not.
I am looking for for something that I can Travel with when I have do not have to be in the office 3 months of the year. I can work from anywhere 9 months of the year. I know I can find a bag to hold the monitor. But what to do with the base..will the base fit in my Swiss back back or check it in my luggage?
Ted Gibson I’m not sure if I have a good answer for that. The base would pose to be an obstacle for your situation.. if I think ‘if this were me’ I’d probably try and design my transportation around what I want transported and look in to small duffel bags. I’d be worried about the base damaging the monitor in a Swiss backpack type bag.
Any capacitive pen would work out here. The ones I used were just bargain ones from a Big Lots check out. I get this a lot but there is no fancy pen at play here that we use. :) Sorry hope that helps.
I get why they didn’t include HDMI. It’s probably because it’s be redundant because most people tend to have at least a few unused HDMI cables lying around already, but not really for DP or VGA.
That's a great question! So while most phones can be adapted to display on to monitors such as this - the biggest issue is the onboard acceleration that requires an OS like Windows. the monitor needs to be connected via USB to a compatible device to know to use the digitizer - otherwise its just a display. In short: 'no' unless someone has a work around for this.
I have this one myself and since it is multitouch, the palm rejection isn't really an option. I've checked in the settings and there isn't one to deactivate multitouch either.
Mas, rekomendasi dong. Jadi aku mau gambar tapi bingung mau pake monitor ato pc, tp gambarnye langsung tulis tangan di layarnye.. Jadi gambar gk usah pake alat bantu lagi . Bahkan pake keyboard & mouse
When people say "not for gaming", means competitive gaming, right? But I think it would be better the density of IPS colors for single player, when you don't care to have 1MS response (especially strategy and RPG which is mainly the genres I love).
How would the touch technology on this compare to the touch on the xps 9575? Are screens designed for pen as well much more accurate and fast? Will this be fully compatible with OSX? I want it for touch screen music producing.
Mac is not my daily, so I don't have much to offer there (but at the end of this comment I will post a link of a similar Dell touch on Mac OSX, just click go to solution and see if that helps you) The feel and experience will be different on something that uses a digitizer overlay like the XPS (The overlay is like what you see in most phones, a piece of glass that senses touch and tells the device where on the screen you are issuing commands). If you're looking at a full digital mixing board (which I cannot really relate to this either) a larger space may be easier to work with. We've found this monitor to be surprisingly accurate, and Dell does include calibration tools (software) to fine tune it. Mainly what we looked at were simple design space applications to get a feel for accuracy (and it felt very comfortably accurate). Yes, a cheap stylus we used on it actually did very well. A fine point pen stylus with plastic or hard felt tips made for a glass digitizer... I may be worried about harming this monitor using one of those. If you need FINE POINT ACCURACY, this type of touch screen may not be best. By fine point accuracy I consider artist big on tiny details in applications like Photoshop. What software are you using for music? For future referencing I may be interested in demoing something like that on a monitor like this (despite not being musically inclined). Here is that link: Hope it helps (sorry if my response didn't offer much :( ) www.dell.com/community/Monitors/S2240T-Mac-OSX-Touchscreen-Drivers/m-p/4172303#M90436
I've had this monitor for a month and do find that it works great with my DAW. I personally use Presonus Studio One and am able to use the multitouch to the best of it's ability by actually being able to adjust different fader levels all simultaneously.
@@EightSixMatt Thanks for sharing your experience. I was tempted by an acer one because it's 27 inch and 4k. I'm using Bitwig. I believe on OSX it will not with with multitouch though which is disappointing. What kind of technology does this use is if not digitiser. Are you saying it's the same thing as phones and tablets that aren't designed for digital art? Have you had a look at any of the iiyama prolight touch screens?
I prefer DP for many many many reasons - HDMI makes the most sense as its the most widely accepted standard. Your average consumer may not be using DP i.e a laptop, or rig that doesn't have DP (while it's becoming a more common standard these days, it's not the most common). DP is also more for higher resolution and refreshrates - which this monitor really isn't. 1080p @60hz - if it were 1440p or 2160p @ 60-120 DP would be a must...but not in this case. the HDMI 1.4 standard makes the most sense. It was more of a: "Strange they wouldn't go ahead and give you both, or give you the HDMI over the DP"
@@EightSixMatt like, some tabble systens you fund online (like roll20, or foundry) are used only with the mouse, so a toutch screen with good image will be amazing.

I get why they didn’t include HDMI. It’s probably because it’s be redundant because most people tend to have at least a few unused HDMI cables lying around already, but not really for DP or VGA.
No Dell CEO is Jewish and selfish nature... .
Ir works full touch screen function with photoshop and corel draw?
Can you plug a phone in and use it that way???
That's a great question! So while most phones can be adapted to display on to monitors such as this - the biggest issue is the onboard acceleration that requires an OS like Windows. the monitor needs to be connected via USB to a compatible device to know to use the digitizer - otherwise its just a display.
In short: 'no' unless someone has a work around for this.
Hi, this monitor works only with USB or i need to connect the HDMI cable ?
jtrskaos for the touch to work the USB needs to connect from monitor to PC otherwise it’s just a monitor and the touch feature will not work 😊
Thanks, i need a monitor that works with usb 3.0, because my notebook's HDMI port is already occupied.
jtrskaos oh, you still need a means to display it
The USB is solely for it be a touch monitor but for visual you will still need HDMI or DP
@@EightSixMatt what hdmi and usb cable did you buy for this display?
What is the pen will match with this monitor??
Can you tell if his touch would work on a Raspberry?
if connected to a Raspberry Pi, will the touch screen work?
where have you get that pen?
Sir, Which active stylus pen u used in this video?
It’s just a simple felt tipped non-active
I liked the analysis. Does this monitor have palm rejection for pen use?
I have this one myself and since it is multitouch, the palm rejection isn't really an option. I've checked in the settings and there isn't one to deactivate multitouch either.
Thank you.
Are there any Dell stylus that would work with palm rejection on this monitor, maybe the Dell PN579X Premium Pen would work?
Mas, rekomendasi dong. Jadi aku mau gambar tapi bingung mau pake monitor ato pc, tp gambarnye langsung tulis tangan di layarnye.. Jadi gambar gk usah pake alat bantu lagi . Bahkan pake keyboard & mouse
Sulit untuk hanya menggunakan layar sentuh. Mouse dan keyboard masih bagus untuk dimiliki. Apakah Anda tidak ingin menggunakan mouse dan keyboard?
@@EightSixMatt Kalo gambar pake keyboard tombol mane yg harus di gunakan mas ?
@@AndryMaridyKingdom Saya mencoba menggunakan terjemahan untuk membantu. Saya tidak berpikir saya memahami pertanyaan Anda.
@@EightSixMatt Pak mau nanya dah. Di rumah aku ada tv bekas merk aoyama 17inch. Nah mau ku fungsikan buat monitor alat bantunye ape yg di butuhkan ?
Hey, which pen can you use on that monitor ?
as far as smart pen support I am not personally clear, we just use a cheap ass stylus for the built in digitizer (which is excellent)
@@EightSixMatt What is the modelof the Stylus please
Can its good for photoediting
When people say "not for gaming", means competitive gaming, right? But I think it would be better the density of IPS colors for single player, when you don't care to have 1MS response (especially strategy and RPG which is mainly the genres I love).
Can I use it as Pos system monitor
How would the touch technology on this compare to the touch on the xps 9575? Are screens designed for pen as well much more accurate and fast? Will this be fully compatible with OSX? I want it for touch screen music producing.
Mac is not my daily, so I don't have much to offer there (but at the end of this comment I will post a link of a similar Dell touch on Mac OSX, just click go to solution and see if that helps you)
The feel and experience will be different on something that uses a digitizer overlay like the XPS (The overlay is like what you see in most phones, a piece of glass that senses touch and tells the device where on the screen you are issuing commands). If you're looking at a full digital mixing board (which I cannot really relate to this either) a larger space may be easier to work with. We've found this monitor to be surprisingly accurate, and Dell does include calibration tools (software) to fine tune it. Mainly what we looked at were simple design space applications to get a feel for accuracy (and it felt very comfortably accurate).
Yes, a cheap stylus we used on it actually did very well. A fine point pen stylus with plastic or hard felt tips made for a glass digitizer... I may be worried about harming this monitor using one of those. If you need FINE POINT ACCURACY, this type of touch screen may not be best. By fine point accuracy I consider artist big on tiny details in applications like Photoshop.
What software are you using for music? For future referencing I may be interested in demoing something like that on a monitor like this (despite not being musically inclined).
Here is that link: Hope it helps (sorry if my response didn't offer much :( )

I've had this monitor for a month and do find that it works great with my DAW. I personally use Presonus Studio One and am able to use the multitouch to the best of it's ability by actually being able to adjust different fader levels all simultaneously.
@@EightSixMatt Thanks for sharing your experience. I was tempted by an acer one because it's 27 inch and 4k. I'm using Bitwig. I believe on OSX it will not with with multitouch though which is disappointing. What kind of technology does this use is if not digitiser. Are you saying it's the same thing as phones and tablets that aren't designed for digital art? Have you had a look at any of the iiyama prolight touch screens?
@@ReturnToAnalog any tips for cubase users?
@@nepalesemusic1152 Sorry I've never used Cubase so I couldn't tell ya.
Why would an HDMI cable make the most sense for a FullHD monitor? DisplayPort is just fine and it's also a free and open standard.
I prefer DP for many many many reasons - HDMI makes the most sense as its the most widely accepted standard. Your average consumer may not be using DP i.e a laptop, or rig that doesn't have DP (while it's becoming a more common standard these days, it's not the most common). DP is also more for higher resolution and refreshrates - which this monitor really isn't. 1080p @60hz - if it were 1440p or 2160p @ 60-120 DP would be a must...but not in this case. the HDMI 1.4 standard makes the most sense.
It was more of a: "Strange they wouldn't go ahead and give you both, or give you the HDMI over the DP"
does it work with mac?
What for a Pen do you use here?
Sorry for the delay! A capacitive pen from maybe Big Lots if I recall. Nothing fancy at all.
I have 2 for my PC dmx lighting console
And how it works, are you satisfied with that monitor? Maybe Onyx software? :)
@@jvalenta84 yep
Do active pens work with this?
I have not found any active pen that works with this monitor. Honestly, this monitor sucks for any handwriting or drawing.
Best Buy lists this monitor as having a 76Hz refresh rate, I think you just have to go into the settings and change it.
I can confirm this does work at 75Hz.
the screen stays upright (90 degrees)? Thank you.
Concurso Publico yes, it’s adjustable
Thats how people name monitors now. PHT 24 inches 2018.
Does touchscreen work with Linux distro ?
It is compatible with window 7.
plz sure a name model of stylus pen
I get this a lot, and not to be dissappointing, but that stylus was from a 4 pack at Biglots :) Its nothing fancy. Just a capacitive tip stylus.
hey guys can i connect it to any desktop ؟
Which stylus did she use on it??
Something from big lots, nothing fancy, just a generic stylus pen. :) #cheapskates
@@EightSixMatt awesome, thanks for the heads up. Making sure it wasn't anything specific.
I think i will purchase this for my self-built touch screen jukebox :-)
I'm intrigued by your project, share details :D
I’m basically building a jukebox, all you need is a pc, software called album player, quality speakers and a touch screen monitor.
@@paulcrocker4157 I might have a fun new project to start working on if i can find some time.
@@EightSixMatt Did you do that?
Noted, touchscreen monitors are meh at best 😊
you must have a clear use for it, I getting one so I can play strategy games and dnd for battle maps
@@alvaroneto6486 I’m interested in that concept. I would have never thought of that as a use.
@@EightSixMatt like, some tabble systens you fund online (like roll20, or foundry) are used only with the mouse, so a toutch screen with good image will be amazing.
