New to monitors, best I've ever had.

I bought this used Dell monitor and it was pretty good too, it was just an open box but it was amazing! For some reason the kit came with a disk of drivers that I didn't install because I didn't think I really needed them. It's fantastic and great for gaming, Netflix and all the other schoolwork I work on here.

Great monitor with thin bezels

So far I like this monitor. I had an old 19" Hanns-G monitor and the difference between day and night. The control buttons felt a bit finicky but I found that when my fingers are very dry a button press is not recognized. One day I got sure i get it to work every time i think i'll buy another one for a dual monitor setup.

Only one height - no telescoping

We thought we'd buy one for dual monitor use, like our current monitor, but this one didn't have a telescoping arm, so we had to lower the other one or put it on top of one to get them side-by-side in the book.

Finally found the right monitor for me

I had to work hard to find the right monitor for me and I bought 3 monitors before I found the one I liked: this one! My laptop screen is failing, so I'm using this external monitor as my primary screen. It has a very small bezel, which I think is a nice touch. I have a black desktop background with an image in the middle. The colors on this screen are so saturated that in my office I can't tell where the black background ends and the frame begins. I also like the finish of the screen, it's…

The best all-round monitor

I bought three of these monitors. It's just a good, reliable and trouble-free monitor. Very happy with all my purchases.

I understand that the quality of the monitor is worse than I expected

After using it for a while, I find that the quality of the monitor is worse than I expected. I chose this monitor because it has a clear and beautiful display. However, sometimes I could see the black bar on the screen very clearly. I was so disappointed when I decided to buy this monitor

The block was easy to assemble and is a great color

The block was easy to assemble and is a great color. I like the power saving feature that puts it to sleep when not in use. Really nice monitor for the money. Super sharp and bright screen..

These things look great! The small frame is really good if you.

These things look great! A small frame is really good when you have multiple monitors side by side. They are also lightweight and easy to move. It would be nice if they had an HDMI port instead of just DVI and VGA ports, but that's nothing a $5 adapter can't fix. The price is great too (I bought them during the Revain Christmas sales).

Good monitor, but no frills

This is definitely Dell's cheapest monitor. The picture is normal, but you cannot raise/lower or rotate the monitor with the stand. There is also no DVI cable included.

The monitor is excellent. I had to buy a DVI cable as that's the only connection my computer has. I like that it turns off when there is a signal

Very good for the price.

I just bought my second of these after using the first for a few months. You won't find a better monitor for this price. I mean the people on the screen won't jump out and shake your hand but the quality is good enough for me. I think it's nice. I work from home and sit in front of screens about 10 hours a day. I miss the HDMI port but I have a converter and a Toshiba document to make it work for me. The thin black edges are very nice, as is the base. This monitor has no mounting brackets, so…

Great monitor - compatible with MacBook

Just a friendly tip, they work with a MacBook (I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro from 3.2017), but you need to buy an external graphics card for that. those. They don't just plug into an HDMI or USB port and work like a PC. I've used Startech USB to DVI and it works fine (there is a lag but I suspect it has more to do with the age of my computer than anything else). You need one of these for each monitor you plan to use (I use two monitors so I need two adapters). They're expensive ($90-$100 each)…

but no HDMI port, which is fine if you're up for that with your setup

Why does a $200 monitor sell for $99? The connections on this monitor are very poor for a modern monitor. There are VGA and DVI ports, but no HDMI port, which is fine if you're prepared for that during setup. The ONLY thing I didn't see from reading reviews and product info is that the power connector isn't the standard 3 pin connector on the back of the monitor. It goes through an adapter that the power cord plugs into, so it's just extra hardware that can fail. You simply cannot use your…
