Review on Dell UltraSharp U2520D 25-inch Backlit Monitor with Anti-Glare Screen and ASIMonitor32 HD by John Vang

Not the best monitor for Mac

I use this monitor with the M1 Mac Mini and it has so many problems. It looks cheap. When you touch it, it seems like it's coming apart at the seams. Sometimes it just creaks like an old house "seating" (that happened while I was writing this). It rarely turns on when you want it to, preferring to pretend it doesn't recognize that any devices are connected. Usually you have to go through the ritual of changing the input, turning the monitor on and off, and/or plugging and unplugging the cable from the computer. It turns on when you don't want it to. The monitor does not sleep when you are not using the computer. Instead, it has a seemingly random on and off pattern. This is particularly annoying at night when the rest of the house is dark and I can see the light from my office. Text rendering on websites is not very good and often appears jagged and pixelated. Descent. After scrambling, the images stay that way until the end of the session. (it just happened in another window while I was writing this). I've tried different inputs and cables, but all problems persist. It can be a nice addition to a Windows setup, but I wouldn't recommend this monitor to anyone using a Mac.
