Hi. Recently I just purchased a S2316H monitor from Dell. I would like to share my experience on using this monitor. This is one of the latest glossy model introduced by Dell Malaysia offering at the retail price of RM749. This model is a replacement for the older version of S2340L. It's ultrathin bezels make it looks sexy in addition to the integrated speakers where we do not need to plug in additional loudspeaker. It uses both VGA and HDMI cables coated with antiglare hard-coating 3H.

Dell S2316H Usage

Advantages:

1. Nice speakers:
The speakers which are in-built with the monitor are functioning pretty well. The speakers definitely suit you up as it produces the sound pretty well. Of course it could not match those speakers that are specially make for quality audio but it definitely matches decent and typical users for daily activities. Besides than that, you could save up your save than having the need to plug in any speakers cables. Click spoiler for video quality.


2. Slim Bezels:
The bezels are much slimmer if compared to the predecessor S2340L. These bezels includes 0.5cm for the top bezels and 0.7 cm for the side bezels. Click spoiler for the images.


3. Image quality
The quality of images and video produced are decent and does not throw any different colours if viewed from different angles. Click spoiler for the images.


4. Light and portable
As the monitor is just a 21” monitor, it can be easily portable from one place to the another.

5. Dell Exchange Warranty
This monitor is protected by Dell Advance Exchange warranty which means that if there is any colour defect on this monitor within t3 years, Dell will provide a 1-to-1 exchange. Initially, the previous monitor came with a slight yellow tint and I Dell exchanged another brand new monitor for me within 3 business days.

6. Lesser reflection
Dell S2316H does makes lesser reflection compared to S2340L with its reduced reflection technology.

7. Environment-friendly materials:
Dell S2316H is made with arsenic-free glass and a mercury-free LED panel. Its circuit boards are made from brominated flame retardant (BFR) - and PVC-free laminates.

Disadvantages:

1. Yellow tint
Initially, when I first received this S2316H monitor, the monitor does come with a slight yellow tint. The replacement monitor came and it solves the yellow tinting issue and it’s much better now.

2. Lack of USB ports
This monitor does not come with any USB ports. This may cause some inconvenience especially if we to use these cables for our computer.

3. Inconvenient OSD buttons
The menu OSD buttons to control the brightness and sound are too soft and we might not know which buttons we are pressing. There are not labels telling which buttons are for what until the menu appears.

Updated with full review.

Hi. I haven't use BenQ models before. Or you could read my review any maybe it can help you to make some good comparison.

Thank you.

Hi. Yes. I just tried. There is one for audio input and the other for audio output. The earphones works.


Thank you.

I don't think it's really worth to upgrade from S2340L. The only difference I see between these two devices is the speaker.

Sorry. Yes. It has.

I remember it was RM700+ previously. My friend bought it in Lowyat for RM600++. It was RM550?
