Great, works like a charm.

Great, works like a charm. price stolen. I am very happy with this purchase. Looks like Dell bought too much or is becoming obsolete too quickly. I use it as a VGA monitor.

The Dell Sharp monitor that we love has many features.

Love it, it's so cool that it rotates and you can adjust it to go up or down. I have a question that I couldn't find out in the manual or the picture of the model. It's locked and we can't slide it up to adjust the height. Can you tell me what to do or where the button is so I can bring the monitor back up? Can you email me how to do this, I would appreciate it. moniquebradford@clear.net. I would recommend t-shirts to my friends.

I bought this monitor about a month ago and I can say that I am completely satisfied with the quality of the monitor and the service. Although the company I bought this monitor from said it was in good condition, that was an understatement to say the least. The monitor arrived securely packaged and in perfect condition. There were very few spots I could find. There were no dead pixels, the screen is bright and clear. If I ever need to buy another monitor, I will definitely go with this one…

Monitor selection: my rating

I had this 17" Dell Ultrasharp monitor at my work place while doing research at university. At a resolution of 1024 x 768, it displays a full web page (left to right) without having to move your head across the screen. Received a larger 19" Ultrasharp but sent it back to our IT engineer. It wasn't nearly as sharp and crisp as the 17-inch. Although the 19" has better specs, I kept adjusting it and never got it right. Please return the 17" monitor. Another beauty of this monitor and its larger…

ACCEPTABLE for my rating.

GOOD: This works for my immediate need - a text monitor for a UNIX server. BAD: The description of the item dates back to 1708 (rather high scores for this type). I have 170S (pretty low specs for this guy). If multiple products are included, describe the lowest feature set, not the highest. Subtract 1 *The product description clearly includes power and monitor cables. Cable not received. subtract 1*

  • Dubious purchase for older people

I bought this as a second monitor to use in conjunction with my 39 inch ultra wide screen. In portrait mode, it's the same vertical size as my 39" monitor, so it fits perfectly next to it. The screen is small, but just big enough for me to be able to see important information during my game stream and still have a full screen game on my main monitor.

Dell LCD operation

I was happy with the fast delivery service but the quality of the screen was poor. I've made several attempts to fix the problem to no avail.
