Overview
The 23.8-inch Dell SE2426HG keeps 240 Hz gaming compact, using a Full HD IPS panel with FreeSync Premium and 1 ms GtG plus 0.5 ms MPRT response claims. Its 92 PPI density is noticeably sharper than the 27-inch SE2726HG variants while retaining the same 300 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast and 99% sRGB target. Two HDMI 2.1 TMDS inputs and DisplayPort 1.4 provide straightforward gaming connectivity, but there are no speakers, USB ports or HDR support. Unlike the SE2726HGS, the stand has no height adjustment or swivel and only tilts. The published stand and panel dimensions and weights are internally inconsistent, so exact installation measurements need confirmation. Buy it if you want compact, easy-to-drive 240 Hz esports performance; skip it if you need ergonomic adjustment, larger screen space or an integrated USB and audio setup.

HDR & Brightness Reality
The Dell SE2426HG is an SDR gaming monitor with no published HDR support. Its 300 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast and 99% sRGB coverage are ordinary rather than high-dynamic-range specifications. The HDMI 2.1 TMDS inputs improve source compatibility but do not change the panel's brightness or black-level capability. The purchase case rests on 240 Hz motion, FreeSync Premium and compact size.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 How does the Dell SE2426HG compare with the 27-inch SE2726HG? +
Both use Full HD IPS panels at 240 Hz with the same ports and FreeSync Premium. The 23.8-inch model is smaller but sharper at 92 PPI versus 81 PPI.
02 What ergonomic compromise comes with the SE2426HG? +
The stand offers tilt only, with no height adjustment or swivel. A 100 x 100 mm VESA arm is the practical fix.
03 Can the SE2426HG's HDMI 2.1 inputs deliver more than Full HD? +
The inputs can accept compatible sources, but the native panel remains 1920 x 1080. Output is always displayed at the screen's Full HD resolution.
04 Why are GtG and MPRT both listed for this Dell? +
They describe different aspects of motion performance and use different test methods. The 1 ms and 0.5 ms numbers should not be treated as directly interchangeable.
05 What equipment must be added to the SE2426HG desk? +
The monitor has no speakers or USB hub. Audio and peripherals must connect elsewhere, usually directly to the PC or console.
