- So not for everyone but a pretty cool monitor none-the-less. The downside of the review is it has made her want one for work space. Didn't think I would enjoy using it, but it was pretty enjoyable.
If you're in to design, I won't presume to know much about it, or swear by this, but for certain design applications it seems great. Will it replace Wacom pads for intricate art? No, probably not. Thankfully a graphic designer I know gave me some insight in to this.

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.
You can be my resident model number nerd.
Its not simple if you have to explain it :p But there is some easily understandable sense behind the naming is what you are saying :-)
I agree, I can't see how it could be simpler. H stands for HD or full HD to be precise
@@EightSixMatt Does this work now with mac os?
is there any 2022 available?
Finaly somone made a review of this monitor. Thank you!
Live to serve :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this review! Helps with my purchase deduction for a new touchscreen monitor!
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Dell: Our model no. is super complex.
Ibanez: Hold my guitar.
lol
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 !
Nice review but kill the horrible music.
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.
@@kwikb I should sing in my own background music in a William Shatner style narration. This sounds like a great idea that my fingers are thinking outloud while I type this response. :D :D
Yeah I had the volume turned up to hear his voice, but the parts where it goes to just music make me jump out of my seat. Doesn't help when the music itself is the most generic, feel-good electronic music imaginable.
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
This review was incredible!
How have I not come across this channel before?

Hah, thanks!
Do you happen to know if this supports 10 point touch or is it only 2?
@@kaislate It is 10-point :)
I bought one and I love it. In case anyone was wondering this can be overclocked to 75Hz no problem. Much smoother scrolling by far!
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 like how your name matches that comment so perfectly 😂
Does it not have palm rejection?
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.
This seems like it could be a bigger budget Wacom tablet if you get a stylus for it.
you have a lot of monitors back there :)) BTW, good video
Yep 👍 u gave me envy that screen thanks
Can you grab multiple objects at once ? I am considering it for music production with studio one. Excellent review Thanks
Thanks for a great review. Any recommendations on the type of stylus pen that will work with it?
Is this monitor worth it, like 1080p?
@@MatarJihad you won't get anything higher with a touch panel right now
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.

. But I'm afraid it's not compatible
PP Sweet I have heard that the “Adonis pro 3” and “musemee Notier V2” work with this display
Does this have an inbuilt speaker. Will this work with Samsung wireless dex ?
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
Please… tell me which pen can i use with this monitor. I bought a active stylus pen but dont work. I need to work AutoCAD software. Thanks.
Did you found a solution?
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.
VGA is not professional in any industry I've worked in... you trippin!
Does the displayport support the touchscreen if not, how do you get around with it?
@@wilsont1010 USB. touch screens aren't that common anyway on stand alone monitors
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.
I'm not sure one exists as this monitor sucks for handwriting.
Great review i just tested a 15 inch 4k monitor and its okay
can you use this stylus ?
Zagg Pro Stylus Active stylus with universal capacitive back end tip
Wacom Bamboo Ink 2nd Gen Stylus - Gray
Can the touch function be used in extended screen mode?
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.
would be nice to tell / show 10 points touch
Thank you very much sir for this very informative video
pen supported? (stylus input for drawing) ?
Can it be mounted to the wall with a wall mount bracket? Thanks for the video.
Yes! It's a 100mmx100mm VESA mountable
@@EightSixMatt Thank you very much. You've been very helpful.
@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.
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 =\
Why did the put the thick bazel on the bottom. How are viewing angles upsidedown?
Which Pen is support on this monitor
Hi. what kind of USB cables are needed to activate the touch option? is it only the B type cable or this one and another USB cable from the hub?
Does the toch workk with something like samsung dex?
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.
hi Bro , what is the name of that cable that activate the touch screen???
It uses a USB-B to A 3.0 as the passthrough and required cable for the digitizer :)
Thats how people name monitors now. PHT 24 inches 2018.
I need some assistance, I set up the Monitor with my Surface Go but the touchscreen part is not working? Can anyone assist?

@@pluginpromo you have to download drivers in order for it to work
@@Phoenixm1200 wich drivers? Do you know?
@@pluginpromo I’m really not sure check the comments somebody might’ve put a link or maybe the person that did the video
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... .
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?
Using it like a switcher panel? Or just in general? I'm sure it would work out nicely like that.
Lol I can't stand people touching my monitors. I don't like confrontation so I don't scold anyone when they do it but, I don't like it lol.
Good to know a stylus works on that. Thanks for the review.
Hope it was helpful!! :D
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).
Would this work with Apple TV?
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.
Can I use this for apple software?Buy the Mac mini and use this as the screen.

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?
You have to run the "Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input" setup in windows 10 so windows knows which screen is the touchscreen.
Can i use the monitor as a second monitor for my mac book pro?
How can you right-click with the touch screen?
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.
do you have a solution for this problem ?

can you use this as a second monitor?
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.
@@martinomg can this monitor rotate to protrait mode as other dell monitors.. I'm planning to use this as secondary vertical monitor
@@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.
@@martinomg 👍👍
What does 10 touch points means as stated on your touch features. Tq
You can touch it with ten different fingers and it registers all of them
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?
I have questions about the stylus you use.
What stylus can this monitor be used for?
You have enough information or not.
no, I have contated Dell.
Can i use it in 90° vertically with this stand?
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.
Vertical mode?
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"
if connected to a Raspberry Pi, will the touch screen work?

Wich pen works for that dell screen????
What is the pen will match with this monitor??
Sir, Which active stylus pen u used in this video?
It’s just a simple felt tipped non-active
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 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.
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.
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 :( )
