Review on Dell S2317HJ Wireless Charging Monitor - 1080P, 1920x1080, 60Hz HD by Slam Carranza

I hope you enjoy interacting with Dell Technical Support!

Setup was a nightmare as Dell only provided picture instructions. I had to go to their website to read the manual but I still had major problems because I was connecting to a Lenovo laptop and the monitor didn't have the right cable to connect them together. After buying a DP to VGA converter cable that didn't work, I had to buy an HDMI Type A cable(?). Dell tech support was absolutely unhelpful in suggesting how to fix the issue, plus it took a very long time to wait before speaking to a live person. When I finally got the picture, I found that the internal speakers weren't working! I haven't contacted tech support yet. In terms of physical design, all of the additional HDMI ports are on the back of the monitor, so you'll have to flip the whole thing over to access them. Finally, the "buttons" on the front of the monitor are touch sensitive, not actual buttons. With the far right "button" you need to set the type of connection to the computer, which is very vaguely explained in the manual. Sometimes the touch was too sensitive and moved past the option I was trying to select too quickly. Oh yes, absolutely no product registration information for warranty purposes!

Pros
  • All in all, a decent all-round display.
Cons
  • There is a strip in the middle of the monitor that needs to be returned!
