Interfering with my speakers

It seems like a good monitor that does 4k60. However, I had to return it because as soon as I plugged it in, I got digital/electrical noise in my reference Yamaha speakers. I've tried plugging the monitor into a separate outlet, but to no avail. I also tried moving the speaker away from the monitor but the sound didn't change or decrease. I think it's a nutritional issue.... This monitor has a built in power supply while the previous one (Samsung) and the one I replaced it with (LG) have an…

Very good . to my rating.

Good. I'm not a monitor expert but my 18 year old Dell monitor eventually died so I ran to Sams Club and bought a 31 inch Samsung and...I wasn't happy at all. So I returned it and ran to Best Buy for the 28-inch Acer. and although it was better, I still wasn't happy. So I returned it. The major disadvantage of these two monitors was that the clarity of the text was not suitable for word processing/office work. So I took it up a notch and bought this Dell 4K monitor from Revain and I just love…

Cheap 4K monitor

The first one that showed up was obviously used/returnable and broke right out of the box. There was a terrible sheen and a reddish tint. Blame it on Revane, not Dell. The replacement was brand new and worked great. You only get a 60Hz refresh rate for this price, and that's exactly what it is. I wish it had a higher refresh rate, maybe 75Hz would be nice, but then again the competition here is also only 60Hz so that's not really a complaint. Also, a GPU powerful enough for today's 4K gaming is

The monitor is excellent. You need to buy an extra cable to get 4K

The box was open on one side but the monitor works. The display port cable doesn't match my laptop connection and I need to buy a display cable to the mini display to get 4K. The cable has arrived. I get a resolution of 3840x2160. The monitor is sharp. It also looks great. I wish they could come with two displayports as I want to connect two computers to this monitor (not using two computers at the same time of course). HDMI ports do not support 4K resolution.

Affordable extended iMac Retina monitor

Sure, you can spend over $1,000 on multiple monitors that match the iMac's Retina Display PPI, but if you're not an avid gamer or designer and just want a monitor that still keeps text sharp, this is perfect and inexpensive. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 5 was the stand and the monitor port which wobbles even on low settings. Even with intensive typing, you can clearly see how the monitor shakes, but this can be remedied if you pay attention to the details. Excellent purchase!

Amazing picture when HDR works!

Thankfully, there aren't any stuck pixels or anything like that. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the games is because of the longer refresh rate. This is a budget 4k display, I didn't buy it for gaming. I am using Win-10 Pro 64-bit, I STRONGLY recommend (1) Google "dell s2721qs color profile", select the result from rtings.com and download the .icm color profile data. Right click, install profile. Open Color Management, click Add and select the .icm file. Use. (2) Registering a monitor (or…

Get a Displayport cable if you need a 4K display!

Brand new monitor so no long term reviews. But out of the box I couldn't get 4K resolution, there wasn't even a choice in Windows Settings or in my Nvidia Control Panel. Problem? I used an old HDMI cable (with a mini DP adapter on the graphics card) and the system knew about it, so I couldn't even select a higher resolution. Solution: I installed a pure display port cable. The system recognized it and now allows me to select the highest resolution - 3840x2160. Hooray. The cable is important…

Great monitor, *after* the right cable.

I bought this for my Macbook Pro 2020 laptop. This monitor comes with an HDMI cable, but after connecting it to the laptop I noticed that the max FPS is 30Hz. A completely unideal situation. So I bought my own Displayport to USB-C cable and that fixed everything. This monitor is really great, but if you're a Mac user, get a display port cable.

Amazing screen!: my review

I'm a fan of music videos on YouTube and the videos are so clear on this monitor! I love the 4k experience in the monitor view! Make sure you choose the right displayport though, as few of them only support a 30Hz refresh rate and this causes the mouse cursor to lag so much on the monitor! Get a 4k@60Hz hub when connecting to a Mac.

Value monitor working above its class

Best affordable monitor in its class. 4K is much better when working very close to the monitor at a distance of 2-3 feet. Very adjustable and decent speakers for office work. The color was good right out of the box but I suggest you download a color profile from the Rtings website and the color will be even better.

Great 4K monitor - my new test

I did a lot of research before purchasing this Dell. I've scoured the internet, read a lot of Revain reviews, Youtube, etc. and I haven't seen many negative reviews on this model. RTINGS.com, which conducts unbiased monitor reviews, ranked the S2721QS 2nd in mixed use among the 27-inch 4k monitors they reviewed. Build quality is excellent, with very thin bezels. Resolution and colors are excellent. The 27-inch screen size took a while to adjust to the scaling coming from a 22-inch LG 1080…

Wrong monitor sent

Firstly, this is not a negative review for the Dell S2721SQ 4K Monitor (since I did not actually receive this product), it is a word of warning to anyone ordering this product: BEWARE if you receive the wrong product! This product has 2 HDMI ports and 1 card slot and a 4K monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate. I RECEIVED a box with a matching product label (S2721SQ) but the box contained the documentation and product for the S2721HX . What's the difference in the pair of letters you're talking…

Second monitor for my 27 " iMac works great

I connected this to my 2017 27" iMac via an HDMI cable. Refresh rate 60Hz. Everything looks fine and the picture quality is much better than my old 24" Dell monitor. I increased the brightness to... adjust it to the brightness of my iMac I also increased the contrast I am very happy with the picture quality.

Amazing picture! No keyboard brightness adjustment

My computer is a 2015 MacBook Pro that I want an external monitor for. I tried another brand and while the videos and images displayed were clear, the text on the web and in emails was terrible. I tried this Dell monitor. While I wasn't expecting to pay that much for my monitor, this is a really impressive monitor for my use. Videos and pictures are crystal clear. I'm not a videographer or photographer, so I can't confirm color accuracy. For me and my use, I find this monitor exceptional! The…

The monitor is very clear (programming all day and needs very clear text). I'm working on Windows and I scale to 125% which helps with menu font size etc but still leaves plenty of room for multiple windows. I tried several scaling values, up to 200%, and the clarity didn't decrease with each one. Impressive. Colors are vibrant and appear fairly accurate. Brightness and contrast are also good. The menu options are decent. Things I'm not a big fan of: The vertical movement of the monitor is very

Great monitor but Mac OS is not fully supported

I ordered this 27" 4K monitor for my new Mac mini M1. It has a great display and the price is very good, but you can't even register it because it only supports the PC to download the main app, to change the screen size and resolution.. Still planning on keeping it to myself as the mini works great with this monitor.. Strange that I can't even register it for the warranty. When I go to the Dell website go and try to detect the monitor a dialog pops up saying only PCs are supported. Does anyone…

Great for the games in my rating

This can't be considered a gaming monitor, but it definitely gets the job done. Switched to Xbox Series X and wanted a 4K monitor to get the most out of gaming. 60Hz didn't bother me as most games probably won't support 120Hz and the prices for a 120Hz 4K monitor were way beyond my budget. HDR looks good and the screen is definitely bright. The abundance of ports on the back allows me to connect my PC via DisplayPort and Xbox via HDMI and quickly switch between them with a nice interface on the

I bought the 27 inch model with the adjustable stand and I still love it. Text looks very sharp and it has a Vesa mount that I can attach multiple monitor arms to. I had no problems with that. with my MBP in general. One limitation I've learned, and it's very minor, is that if you want to use PIP (Picture in Picture) or PBP (Picture by Picture), you need one HDMI input and the other MUST be a display port. I have a PS4 and MBP connected to two HDMI ports and I can't use this feature. My…

This time, the replacement monitor comes in a sealed package.

Received a replacement monitor for the first one which arrived printed as if it had been opened at some point. This time the box was taped shut where it should have been. Good monitor, great color and solid construction, except for a slight wobble of the base. However, since these devices come in factory packaging, they have nothing to protect them. After all, these are displays.
