Review on Dell P2416D Monitor: High-Resolution 23.8" 2560X1440P Anti-Glare Screen - Best Buy by Justin Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

macbook pro user beware

excellent monitor, for this size it gives a very good resolution, a good companion for macbook pro with retina; BUT I couldn't get it to work in HiDPI fullscreen in Yosemite or El Capitan (1280x720 HiDPI). By default it ran at 2560 x 1440 with no HiDPI, making the icons too small for my liking, and there was no option for HiDPI 1280 x 720. I even played around with SwitchResX for a while, setting my own resolutions and just couldn't get to it make it run I got HiDPI 960x720 working but lost too many pages of display to be useful. Eventually I came back and just got a 24 inch 4K monitor that went straight to HiDPI with no issues.

Pros
  • I've been using this for months with no problems. Love it. Buy it.
Cons
  • Unreliable build quality
