Monitor died immediately after Revain's return to the window

The monitor died right after the return window. One evening the monitor suddenly showed a black screen on the display. Even after multiple reboots and pressing the physical buttons on the monitor, nothing appeared on the screen. I called Dell tech support and they asked me to unplug a standard plug, reconnect the cables and hold the buttons to no avail. Now they are sending me a replacement which I appreciate. However, this is a great inconvenience for me because I have to wait several business

Good monitor for most everyday tasks

It's a bit big bright. Only 60Hz for gaming and no hdmi 2.1z, not optimal for PS5. But for everyday use it's good. ‎17.85 x 24.08 x 7.35 inches.

Great monitor for working from home (MacOs)

Great buy for the price. The 2560 x 1440 resolution is great for macOS. Slim and graceful. The speakers aren't great, but it's certainly the perfect monitor for everyday home use.

Great monitor! to my rating.

Came as described and easy to assemble. Minimum screen reflection which is cool! I only deducted 1 star because the built-in speakers are not very loud. I recommend plugging in a soundbar or separate speakers if you need sound. Otherwise great product!

died 3 weeks later.

Nice monitor but it suddenly turned off and I couldn't turn it back on. Tried a different power cord, outlet, etc., but definitely a monitor. There were also no surges since all other peripherals were connected to the same surge protection strap. Luckily the 30 day return window had not yet closed so I sent it back for a refund.

The display turns off temporarily.

When used with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, this display will dim intermittently. HDMI worked fine. I've had no issues with the display blanking on an old Dell 4K (P2415Q) or the display I bought to replace this (LG 27UL850) when used with the same cables.

Great for performance

Great for performance. 2K is the best resolution for recording. The font is crisp and you don't have to mess with font scaling.

The best ad. always good for me

I've had IPS monitors (perfect for Photoshop and slideshows) for years. The resolution of this monitor is OUTSTANDING. I have several other monitors and am seriously considering replacing them now rather than waiting for them to need replacing in the future.

The monitor died after a few days of use.

I bought this monitor as a secondary display to match my more expensive Asus 1440p IPS monitor (VG27AQL1A) for work/gaming and it worked well for the first few days, colours, viewing angles and brightness were great with few issues. no backlight game. Then one morning I turned on my computer and this display was just a black screen. The backlight worked, but even the OSD didn't appear when I pressed the buttons. I've tried 3 different displayport cables and even HDMI and still no luck. My other

Doesn't work well with M1 Macs

The only reason I'm writing this review is to warn Mac users who have newer computers with M1 chips to stay away from this monitor. I used it as a second (external) monitor for my M1 iMac and the quality wasn't great. I've spent so much time researching the picture quality issue, but it's really the monitor itself that's to blame. I ended up buying a Dell 4K monitor and I'm very happy with the result. If you have a newer Apple computer, buy at least a 4K monitor, don't skimp, spend the extra…

A very good monitor. Good image and color quality. If you can't afford or don't need a 4K monitor, this is a good choice. I use it with M1 Mac Mini. Very satisfied.

Doesn't work well with macOS text, noticeably blurry

I tried many things to get nice text on this monitor, nothing worked. Edited scaling, changed macOS files in recovery mode to force RGB color, nothing worked. I wouldn't buy it if you're a programmer and appreciate plain text. Maybe suitable for watching movies etc.

Works great when connected to a docking station. It worked immediately after switching it on and the HDMI cable (included) was connected to the docking station.

I'm a professional photographer and I was concerned about those colors and viewing angles, but this is awesome! Great color Great viewing angles Low brightness Thin clean bezels Solid construction Great trash can design. iPad or MacBook Pro. All in all, this is a worthwhile purchase.

Extremely wobbly and fragile

We bought this monitor a month ago and it works perfectly. until a slight impact with the table knocked it over (while standing on the included stand) and ruined the display. Called Dell and warranty doesn't cover display issues like this. Then they hung up. I will definitely not buy these again.
