rubbish in my rating

I'm an educator so we're having a very busy time of the year right now. Excited about my first 4K monitor with a USB-C port, I was dying to use it. It arrived in early August and was in use for about 2 weeks - it worked perfectly. It's August 19th. I have "ghostly" images flickering on my screen in the background. I've rebooted, changed all cables, even tried a regular displayport - to no avail. I was looking for this specific problem and it was a problem for several people. This shouldn't…

Screen breakage is a real problem

After using this monitor for 6 months, I suddenly started having ghosting issues. Dell sent me 2 separate replacement monitors, each with their own screen issues. Terrible service. I do not recommend.

Amazing for video editing

great for editing. I put it on a desktop mount that folds into portrait mode. It works flawlessly with my m1 Mac mini. The only downside here is that the buttons are a little weak and in a spot where you can easily smudge the screen by holding it down to switch inputs.

  • communication with the seller

There were no instructions and one instruction sheet was barely legible due to the tiny font size. The Dell box had steel packing tapes that seal the box on the opening side, the sealing tapes were torn on one side and cut off on the other side, but the sealing tape, presumably Dell, was still there. It looks like someone stuck their hand in the box and started rummaging through it, but while digging managed to dig a hole in a sheet with the instructions. However, the factory calibration sheet…

Great monitor but randomly goes black

Nice monitor. My only complaint is that the power and OSD buttons are tiny and very difficult to press. But lately the monitor has been going dark at random times. The only solution is to turn the monitor off and on again. Sometimes it works for hours, sometimes just a few minutes. I've searched the web and many other people are reporting the same problem (search: Dell U2720Q goes black). No one has found a solution and reports about it on the Dell website go unanswered. I regret returning the…

Outstanding quality

I traded in my Mac for a PC and my biggest concern was the quality of the monitor. This monitor offers excellent quality for any activity, especially for a photography enthusiast like me. Now I find myself saying, Mac who?

Great monitor, I like it

Premium physical form factor. Nice pic. That's pretty expensive for a 27" monitor, for example my new 32" Dell monitor was significantly cheaper. But if that's what you're looking for, you probably won't be disappointed.

Screen corners begin to fade after a year of use

The screen was great until it became one. If you are looking for something high quality and durable then this is not it. Its slim design makes it easy to transport!

Great Clarity is the best in my rating

I had the 2019 version of this monitor, after reading some reviews I decided to upgrade to this version. The clarity is so amazing I bought a second monitor.

Serious quality problems

I love the design of this monitor. The edges are smooth and thin - unique as even the most expensive monitors have thick bottom bezels. This monitor really stands out and looks great on a desk. Also the 2 USB-C ports with 90W PD are really amazing. It offers the best 1-cable solution to power and connect your laptop. Other HP and LG 4K monitors I've tried sometimes experience lag and screen tearing/flickering or randomly don't recognize the USB-C input. Not this monitor. In that regard, it…

BEST MONITOR in my opinion

This monitor is an incredible purchase. That makes work more pleasant. Bright colors, perfect size. I use it with a 2019 MacBook Air model. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their home office.

Dell quality is not the same. Not even close.

Extremely disappointing quality for a brand like Dell. Sometimes it connects to my laptop, sometimes it doesn't. It goes into USB-C signal search mode, can't find it and goes to sleep. However, the laptop is charged via the same cable. Occupies my audio during Zoom calls even if it has NO SPEAKERS. So you're constantly reconfiguring your audio controls. If it runs smoothly like the screen should, then everything is fine. Image of decent quality and clarity. Definitely big enough. The main…

Very good monitor as a second monitor for my Mac (encoding)

I don't trust Revain's stellar reviews since they started faking them. I'm writing this to help other people using MacBook pro.1. The quality is good (I liked the Aces UHD a bit better), but this one has 2 USB-Cs2. Easy to rotate the monitor vertically.3. You must use the cable provided by Dell. My previous Apple USB-C cables didn't work (probably a lower version)

The build quality is just terrible. Plastic wrapped around the entire bottom of the screen bezel. There is no quality control.

Good monitor when it works

Good monitor, but I can only get a 30Hz refresh rate when connecting the monitor to my Dell laptop with the USB-C cable that came with it. So I returned it. Revain's return service was simple and straightforward.

DO NOT buy - rational review here

Less than two years after purchasing this monitor, a yellow bar suddenly appeared on the screen. Minus one star. Under warranty, Dell replaced the monitor with a refurbished monitor instead of a new one. Minus one star. The refurbished monitor they sent had a warped case, signs of wear and tear, issues latching onto the stand, and two things inside that dangled and rattled. Minus one star. Overall = 2 out of 5 stars. I would not buy this monitor.

Defective after 2 months

The monitor was great until it broke after 2 months of use. Suddenly it started to flicker and there was nothing you could do about it. Now I'm trying to return or exchange it. Incredibly disappointing. ---- 5 months later. Intermittent flickering and ghosting. I reset all the diagnostics in the Dell manual, shut down, restarted and ran. Nothing will fix that. After contacting the reseller AND Dell, after hours of troubleshooting, Dell agreed to send me a REVISED monitor. When it arrived my…

This is by far the best monitor I've personally owned for the price. It has such a great picture when paired with my MacBook Pro and now a Mac Mini with an M1 chip.
