Review on Dell AS501 Speaker Ultrasharp Monitors by Barry Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't fit the Dell P2715Q but may be worth those mods

It has better sound quality than the soundbar Dell makes for its P2715Q 4K monitor and is a bargain. The volume rocker on the side is very handy, and when it's connected to a computer, the volume control stays on the desktop. To make it work with this TV I painted it black to match the black frame of the installed monitor. Soundbar under the monitor with strong 3M double-sided tape, place a piece of black tape on the very bright center indicator light and connect the green input connector to the green audio output connector on the back of the computer (not the 4K connector). ). Dell monitor - this will not work). This soundbar requires a 12V DC supply to power it, which is probably why it sounds better than Dell's recommended 5VDC USB soundbar. However, you will need to connect a 12V DC wall cable to the jack. Alternatively, if you have a soldering iron, you can permanently connect the power cable to the soundbar's 12V DC input cable, observing polarity. If you have the latest Dell 4K monitor and it all sounds too complicated. DO NOT buy this great sounding soundbar.
