Review on Dell UP2516D LED Monitor πŸ–₯️ with 2560x1440P Resolution for High Definition Viewing by Saurabh Ngo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good image quality in a small body; functional but not perfect KVM

Overall a great monitor. Image quality is excellent, but if you're struggling to see fine details, consider upgrading to the 27-inch model. The number of pixels per inch is about 115, maybe a little more. I prefer the smaller format - I have a 2560 x 1440 27" monitor at work and it just takes up too much room on my desk. This model, especially with thin bezels, doesn't feel too big. The KVM functionality is a real reason I bought this display - I can easily switch between my regular work computer and my gaming rig Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut that can be used to switch between inputs (many standalone KVMs use dual tapping Scroll Lock), at least none that I could find. KVM functionality is also passed to the downstream monitor if you have a second DisplayPort monitor daisy chained with that monitor as the primary. Mac OS X users should do this However, do note that OS X does not support daisy chaining two DisplayPort 1.2 monitors, although this is part of the DisplayPort 1.2 specs on for is multi-stream transmission. It works correctly for Windows. It's nice to have a built-in USB 3.0 hub, but it's somewhat useless if you use KVM a lot - the devices that benefit most from USB 3.0 are external drives and switches. Driving from computer to computer via KVM is probably not what anyone wants.
