Dell C2423H 23.8" Black, Silver 2022
The integrated pop-up 5MP webcam with Windows Hello facial recognition and dual 5W speakers with echo cancellation eliminates the need for external peripherals in a 24-inch 1080p IPS display. Its ComfortView Plus technology reduces blue light without distorting the 99% sRGB color accuracy, while the extensive stand offers height, pivot, and swivel adjustments. This monitor is best for corporate users and hybrid workers who need a secure, all-in-one conferencing station with daisy-chaining support for a dual-screen setup.
Snapshot
The 30-Second Version
The Dell C2423H is a top-tier video conferencing monitor with best-in-class connectivity and a handy pop-up webcam. Its 1080p display and 60Hz refresh rate are strictly average, but the built-in speakers and mic make it a killer office hub. Worth it if you find it near the lower end of its price range and live on Zoom.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Best-in-class connectivity with Thunderbolt and USB-C makes it a killer docking hub. 100th
- The pop-up webcam with Windows Hello is a slick privacy and security combo. 92nd
- Built-in echo-cancelling mic and 5W speakers are genuinely useful for calls. 88th
- Excellent ergonomics let you tilt, swivel, pivot, and adjust height for all-day comfort.
Cons
- 250 nits of brightness is underwhelming and can look dim in bright rooms.
- 60Hz refresh rate feels sluggish next to even budget high-refresh monitors.
- 1080p resolution on a 24-inch screen is sharp enough but nothing special.
- At over 13 pounds, it's surprisingly heavy and not portable at all.
The proof
Performance
This panel is strictly business. The 1920x1080 resolution on a 23.8-inch screen is the standard for office work, and the IPS panel keeps colors consistent when you're viewing from an angle during a huddle around the screen. But the 250-nit brightness is middle of the pack, so it might struggle a bit in a sun-drenched room. The 5ms response time is fine for Outlook, but the 60Hz cap means scrolling isn't as buttery as it is on higher-refresh displays. It covers 99% of sRGB, which is solid for document work, but the overall display quality lands in the lower half of our database compared to flashier panels.

vs Competition
Stacked against the MSI MAG 271QPX or the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR, the Dell looks like it's from a different planet. Those are high-refresh OLED gaming monsters built for speed and contrast, while the Dell is a 60Hz office tool. Even next to the BenQ MA270U, a 4K monitor built for Mac users, the Dell's 1080p screen feels dated. The Alienware AW2725D also runs circles around it for gaming. The C2423H doesn't compete on picture quality. It wins by being a conference room command center that none of those gaming screens can touch.

Price
Value & Pricing
Pricing on this one is all over the map, with a wild spread from $170 to over $14,000 across vendors. Let's be real, the high end of that range is nonsense. If you can snag it near the $170 mark, it's a steal for a video conferencing hub with this many ports. At that price, you're getting a solid webcam, speakers, and a USB-C dock for less than buying them separately. Just make sure you're not overpaying for features you won't use.

Overview
The Dell C2423H isn't trying to be a gaming monitor or a creative pro's dream. It's a purpose-built office workhorse with a pop-up webcam, decent speakers, and a USB-C hub all baked right in. If your day is spent bouncing between Zoom calls and spreadsheets, this 24-inch 1080p screen is basically a docking station with a display attached.
Look, the 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time won't excite anyone, and the 250-nit brightness is just okay. But the real story here is the connectivity. With a Thunderbolt port and multiple USB-C connections, it's in the absolute top tier for hooking up your whole setup through a single cable. It's a conference room champion, not a desk ornament for pixel peepers.
Common Questions
Q: Does this monitor work well for a dual-screen setup?
Absolutely. You can daisy-chain two of these monitors using a single DisplayPort cable, which keeps your desk clean and can boost your productivity without hogging all your laptop's ports.
Q: Can I use this webcam for Windows Hello facial recognition?
Yes, the pop-up webcam supports Windows Hello, so you can log in securely with just your face. When you're done, just push the camera down to physically block it for total privacy.
Q: Is the built-in microphone good enough for meetings, or do I need a headset?
The built-in echo-cancelling microphone is designed specifically for clear conference calls and works well in a quiet room. If you're in a noisy open office, a headset will still give you cleaner audio, but for most home offices it gets the job done.
Who Should Skip This
Gamers and creative pros should look elsewhere. The 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time will feel laggy in fast-paced games, and the 250-nit brightness with middling color performance won't cut it for serious photo or video editing. If you need a high-refresh or color-accurate panel, this isn't your monitor.
Verdict
Buy this if your primary job is video calls and you want a clean, single-cable desk setup. The integrated webcam, Windows Hello, and robust speakers make it a fantastic all-in-one solution for a home office or a hot-desking setup. It's not for gaming or color-critical work, but it nails the brief for a no-fuss productivity hub.
