Question: How high is this monitor from the bottom of the stand to the top of the monitor in landscape mode?
Document: To utilize the full HD resolution, the monitor is best used with full HD streaming and Blu-ray.Text is sharp! in both landscape and portrait monitor orientation (NVIDIA allows the display to be oriented in portrait or landscape, and I have the monitor mounted on a rotatable monitor arm). On my old monitor, the text would be jaggedy in portrait mode.
Clarity, light and colors looking great. Only issue is the stand which makes the monitor feels a bit flimsy and not secure on the stand.
Bought this to replace an older (2008) Dell monitor that came with my computer purchase. This beauty is easy to set up, super sharp colors and pictures, bright screen, very slim, and base stand is very low profile. Extremely happy using it whether watching videos or just browsing the web.
The display on the monitor is beautiful, I love it. The problem is that this is not the square monitor, it is rectangular like an HDTV, and the stand for it is not wide enough so the monitor wiggles slighty when you do anything, like type on the keyboard or move the mouse. I need to figure out some way to support the sides and stop the wiggle, it is pretty disconcerting.
The monitor will save you a lot of money in energy bills down the line.Now, I do have a couple of complaints:(1) Wobbly Stand, No Height AdjustmentThe stand is wobbly and its height cannot be adjusted. (2) Not VESA CompatibleThe monitor is not VESA compatible, which means you won't be able to mount this monitor on a monitor arm -- not without a third party adapter anyway.
This was the ONLY glossy monitor I could find through the hundreds that are on amazon. I can't stand matte finish and was so happy to find a glossy one. Overall it is a fantastic monitor. The colors are bright and the image is sharp. Very easy setup (to install the stand), you don't need to adjust the colors or anything. It also looks really sleek. I'm very happy with my purchase.
The stand that it comes with has no height adjustment and so is useless to me. Since I use my computer primarily for writing Verilog code (similar to C-programming) for ASIC design, I prefer the monitor to be a bit higher off the desk. I prefer the upper 1/3 of the display to be right at eye level. A VESA mount allows you to mount the monitor anywhere and anyway you like.
No tools are required to put the stand together. Also, reports of the stand being "wobbly" are mostly exaggerated. The base is extremely durable, the small amount of "wobble" is going to be the same as any other widescreen flat panel monitor. And although I was initially worried about the glossy screen, it's a total non-issue. Now that I have it, I don't want to go back to a matte screen. This monitor looks really, really good.
I got the s2440L because it had glossy screen meaning that after a month of use I can wipe off all the crap that finds its way onto the screen  BE WARNED there is a fare amount of glare. If you can't stand glare then this might not be the right monitor for you. Other than that this monitor is awesome!! 1) its bezel is really thin and the stand is pretty sturdy. The panel is an AMVA which means it tries to get the qualities of both TN and IPS panels.
This is a great monitor. The glass front gives it a very solid, high-quality feel. It has fantastic brightness, good contrast, and low power consumption. I expect it will last me a good long while. The only negative is that if the colors on the screen are dark, I can see my reflection in the glass. But that is really the only drawback.
Answer: 16.5" from desktop to top of monitor.
