Don't just focus on USB-C

The USB-C daisy chain deal is pretty useless. I wanted to connect a portable monitor to it for occasional use. That does not work.

I like Dell Ultrasharp

This is my second Dell Ultrashar0p monitor. My first got dusty after years of service and fell off my desk. So I got another one and it works great for this old man. I'm not a gamer, so I can't tell you how great it is for gaming, but I can tell you that it's sharp, bright, with vibrant colors, and works for all my purposes.

Probably a good monitor, but text looks jagged on a MacBook Pro.

Probably a good monitor, but text looks jagged on a MacBook Pro. Loved this monitor and was a complete disappointment. If you're considering buying this monitor for your MacBook Pro, stay away.

Ultra bright monitor

I replaced my old 20" ultra bright monitor with this new 25" ultra bright monitor. Dude let me tell you firsthand the difference is night and day! This monitor has more features than the older ultra bright monitor, no comparison!

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.

Amazing and great!

This is by far the best Dell display I've ever had! There's no IPS glow and backlight, and the picture quality just pops off the screen. Amazing and I highly recommend it!

Terrible squeaking from the coil at reduced brightness.

Sent this monitor back during the day because of the horrible coil squeak (high pitched tone) that would become very noticeable when the brightness was below 70%. It seemed like an uncommon but still possible problem when I read the reviews before buying, but I figured I was lucky with a device that didn't have this problem, or I was hoping Dell would on recently released models fix I don't think so. I guess the positives are that the monitor is really bright because the first thing I had to do

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.

After two weeks, the screen flickering started

I bought this for its claimed clarity and USBC connectivity for my Macbook Pro which only has USBC (boo). There is clarity, and after two weeks the color began to flicker. I've tried multiple USBC cables, HDMI to hub, etc. but nothing fixed the issue. Apparently the problem is with the monitor itself. So be careful.

Disappointed with my rating.

First of all, I am very disappointed with the build quality of this screen. The thin plastic frame is cracked in the bottom right corner of the screen. Don't be surprised when you see how thin he is. The colors are also a big disappointment. A green tint that I find difficult to adjust. The controls, even on the screen, are ancient. I have a very old Dell screen that I wanted to replace with this screen. What a disappointment.

Worst experience with Dell. I love this monitor so I bought another one for my home office. This one did not come with a DP-DP cable. All 3 cables that come with this monitor are not working properly. The screen kept flickering. Mind you I have a Dell laptop and docking station, I figured it would run just as smoothly as my other Dell monitor. I call Revane to ask a Dell representative to help me. The first time it was sent to a technician 5 times and I was told that they could not verify my…

Great monitor but lacks cables. Don't buy used.

The monitor is great, but I have Revain Prime because it's convenient. There was no comfort from this order. The power cord was missing. I had to go and buy one. The difference between the new price and the used price is not worth the hassle of buying your own cables. Cables are no longer cheap. If the description had said there would be no cords I would have bought new ones.

The best monitor I've ever had

Multiple functions. It can charge my Surface laptop and phone via USB-C. Because it has multiple USB sockets that can also charge my iPad. It saves a lot of space for my workshop. 25 feet is enough for study or work. At the same time it is adjustable. You can adjust the position and angle to suit your needs. Good choice, buy!

Excellent 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.

Great monitor in my opinion

I'm used to 5K iMac monitors, but I needed a second monitor for my office laptop. This monitor did not disappoint. While not exactly the quality of my 27-inch iMac 5K display, it's close enough to what I need it for. IPS displays are cheaper, but if you're staring at a screen all day, do your eyes a favor and get a quality display! Dell Ultrasharp monitors are excellent quality and MUCH easier on the eye than cheaper displays. Also, in my experience, Dell Ultrasharp monitors retain screen…

Affordable monitor for work and play

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!

Arrived damaged at my review.
