In fact, according to Dell it's 'the world's first 23.8-inch touch monitor with RJ45 connectivity', so we're really living on the cutting edge out here.Īt first I struggled to understand why I would care about having an RJ45 Ethernet jack on my monitor, but I immediately appreciated it when I saw how slowly games were downloading to my laptop via my middling Wi-Fi connection. And since it's just 1080p, I don't have to worry about the laptop struggling to maintain a decent framerate while gaming on this display.Īnd it seems like the perfect partner for a laptop, because the Dell P2424HT has a built-in USB hub and Ethernet jack.
No, this monitor seems tailor-made for use with a laptop, and it's perfect for playing the kind of lightweight turn-based tactical games I can run on my Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio. And while the 1080p resolution means this display isn't going to showcase experiences like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty to their full potential, that's not really how I like to use it.
