Inexpensive monitor for work and leisure

Just the right size, very good colors, factory calibrated, 2K is good enough for most applications and users. 4K is overkill unless you're looking at the monitor from a few inches away and using a magnifying glass. Very happy with the quality and functionality for the price. It also doubles as a USB hub to connect to your Macbook with a single cable with USB-C connectors. And the icing on the cake - 3 year guarantee!

Exceeded expectations in my rating

A very good monitor. Good features and easy installation. Nice upgrade from my 6 year old Samsung. I would recommend ill-conceived!

Jagged text on MacBook Pro

I ordered this to charge/view output with a single USB-C cable for my MacBook Pro but was sad to see that the text on the screen was uneven. I tried every available resolution/scaling option and none of them were smooth.

Enough in my rating

Pricey for a second monitor but wanted to stick with a Dell product so it's basically ok. Not the best, but not the worst either. Just too expensive for the total cost.

Not suitable for use with MacBook Pro.

I believe there was a technical issue using this monitor with a MacBook Pro which I have attempted to report to Dell Tech Support but they are not listening and continue to send me a U2520DR as a replacement. I connected a monitor to my MacBook Pro using a Thunderbolt 3 cable, which also powers the MacBook Pro. Twice after disconnecting the monitor from the laptop and reconnecting the monitor to the laptop, the monitor does not display anything. The screen stays black and the self-test fails as

Malfunction. the best in my rating

I have another monitor, exactly the same model. When I got the new one and switched it on it was much darker than the other one and very bad colors too. It also has a shimmering effect. In the attached picture, on the left is my old monitor, which is showing exactly white, and next to it is the new one. Which displays white as yellow. Basically I wasted $400 and can't even get it back.

Great product in my review

Don't underestimate the power of USB-C. A single cable lets me use all the display ports connected to my MacBook, and it also offers pass-through power, which saves my battery and uses AC power instead.

90% as good as my MacBook's Retina display for a very reasonable price

After too much research and waiting I finally bought this monitor. I work over 8 hours a day on software and my eyesight is far from perfect so the fact that I bought the second of those two months later should say it all. I mount them on swingarms. Raven is not bad.

Displayport cable not included

Bought two of these. The monitor works great, looks great, but showing off features like MST/Daisy Chaining and then not including a display port cable is a quiet success for them. For the price, Dell, you should do better. Now you have to buy separately. Don't brag about features without including the necessary hardware.

Great midrange monitor!

Excellent image and ergonomics. It is good for viewing/editing photos and videos. Saturation and color range are well suited for non-studio quality work. While it doesn't have the responsiveness required for high-end gaming, it works well for casual gaming. Recommend this product for office use and photo/video editing.

Works great with 2019 16 " MacBook Pro.

Works great with the 2019 16" MacBook Pro - one cable for power and display connection really reduces desk clutter. The monitor's additional USB ports are also good for charging devices/connecting devices to a laptop. This is a great upgrade over my old U2518D. .

Not suitable for MacBook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro 16" and this monitor was the wrong choice. The text was too sharp and a bit blurry. Also the colors were darker than the original. I sent it back the same day it was delivered.

Great monitor for the office

Great general office monitor, saves a lot of laptop connection. Note, however, that macOS does not support daisy chaining (promotional image is inaccurate).

Disappointed best in my rating

Bought two of these for a MacBook Pro. Both examples had the same issue, they worked as expected for a few weeks and then stopped recognizing the USB-C input for video (although the power passthrough still worked), that's the whole point of this display. Tried multiple computers, same problem. Otherwise it was a very good display when it worked.

Good updated monitor for MacBook. But the speaker doesn't work

Nice updated monitor! Externally I don't see any obvious damage. USB Type C is perfect for MacBook. The only problem is that the built-in speaker doesn't work.

Great size, great monitor

I've had this monitor for a few weeks now and it has exceeded my expectations. The display appears to be well made and of high quality. The stand allows you to move the monitor in different directions, providing different viewing angles depending on your workspace. I find the display size perfect for multitasking without taking up too much desk space. I didn't notice much glare on the screen while working, but I've read that it can be an issue in certain lighting conditions. Image quality was…

Incredible value for money.

Put it on my desk next to my favorite 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt display. I like the small size and less clutter, don't use an Apple charger with my MBP. The next day, the Apple display went on sale on E-bay.

Nice pic. Just the right size. power adapter for laptop

Nice pic. Just the right size for my desk. 27 inches is too big. I love the USB C power delivery feature. Allows a cable to be connected to my Dell XPS13 2-in-1 laptop. A 6ft cable allows me to keep my laptop in a safe place away from things like spilled coffee when it's connected to my desktop.
