Good with Macbook Pro

I bought this for a second monitor with my Macbook Pro. It works well! 4K is good, the design is perfect for the monitor! I'm a little uncomfortable with 60 Hz. I like it but I think my desk is too small for a 27 inch monitor. so, so I'm going to buy a new big table!

Outstanding color and brightness, ZERO BACKLIGHT!

The color and clarity of this 27 inch Dell 2k monitor is truly outstanding! I'm pretty picky when it comes to monitors and what I expect and/or need, especially when it comes to color and the customization options. This monitor from Dell is the best monitor I have ever used and it was good right out of the box, no adjustment has been required so far. Read on to find out how this monitor differs from the rest of the crowd: SPECS: 1.27 inches 2. Resolution = 1440 x 2560 (aka 2k QHD) 3. Inputs =…

good monitor

The picture quality is excellent. The colors were fine, no adjustments needed. The displayport cable was missing, but other than that it looks good.

Great price, great 4K picture

Like the thin frame, the image on the screen is almost borderless. Works great in my dual monitor configuration. A large number and variety of entrances. Easy navigation through the on-screen menu.

Great 27 " monitor.

Crisp text, the anti-glare coating doesn't blur text like many other monitors. Excellent control, simple 2 button input switching, one HDMI1 button, one for DP.

Avoid buying the best in my rating

Was thrown on my doorstep and only read 29Hz, not 50-60 as advertised. The product was clearly used by someone else and returned

Great monitor - my new review

I bought this 27" QHD monitor from Dell to replace my old 24" FHD monitors. Screen size and resolution match perfectly, the display quality is ideal for editing texts, photos and videos. I ended up buying two additional identical monitors (from Dell.com) for my multi-display setup. Highly recommended.

Previously a trusted brand

Don't get me wrong, the product is beautiful and the picture quality is very good. There was hardly any backlighting, but I can't speak for gaming or movies as I mainly used it as a second monitor for Excel and browsing. My problem was that the monitor flickered at random intervals (going dark randomly every 1-2 minutes). This happened with the first monitor so I asked for a replacement and it happened with the new monitor too! I have tried HDMI, DP, with multiple cables and multiple computers…

Bought 2 of these and am glad I did

I'm a professional photographer and 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.

Broke after 6 months but replaced by Dell

It started flickering after 6 months but after calling Dell they sent a new one which is hard to get to customer service. Unintuitive menu system!

Great monitor for WFH

Excellent resolution options. For my WFH needs, this offers everything I need in a monitor. I don't play with it, so there is no feedback for players. Cons: No USB-C ports. Do not remove. I don't like using my Macbook's camera so I had to buy one.

Model Dell S2721D - good price with no surprises

I went with the Amazon option to repackage the box into an Amazon box (rather than a Dell box with pictures of what was lying around). Good decision. The Revain box was dented pretty badly, but the Dell box was undamaged. No tools were required to assemble the stand. If you have a shaky desk, your monitor will shake too. Simple solution: Stabilize the table. Ready to use HDMI cable of good quality and length. PC audio/video is crystal clear. The screen's anti-glare coating works great (bright…

Best value! Buy it - it's Dell!

The best 27 inch monitor for its money, it is reliable, the picture is sharp and bright, documents opened in MS Excel, PowerPoint and MS Word are incredibly sharp. Team meetings are clear. I've used it for remote work and it's been great so far. No complaints.

Doesn't work well with macOS text, noticeably blurry

Tried many things to get nice text on this monitor, nothing worked. Scalng edited, 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.

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. Thanks for attention.

Great upgrade from the TV

Got this for gaming on xbox one (which can't see >60hz) and it's amazing with qhd! The difference between day and night comes from the TV. Super smooth gameplay and beautiful color. There are no dead pixels or anything on arrival, and it's a beautiful monitor too. Definitely recommendable from my experience.
