Dell UltraSharp U2515H 25 Inch LED Lit Monitor: Crystal Clear Display and Superior Performance Review

I am a professional photographer who also pursues photography as a hobby. I was looking for a quality monitor for home photo editing that wouldn't break the budget. A cheap 23-inch Acer monitor (1920 x 1080) that I had for a few years was great for everyday use, but it had color balance issues. I found the Dell UltraSharp U2515H to be perfect for my needs. I now have a dual monitor setup: Dell alongside Acer. This helped me tweak the contrast, brightness, and color settings on the Acer monitor,

The box the monitor comes in is packed with lots of intertwined pieces of cardboard. It's super hard cardboard, harder than the box Revain shipped the monitor in. I feel sorry for anyone who decides to repackage this monitor to send back as it will be testing your patients. Even when you take it out of the box, you can sweat. The monitor looks good and is based on a combination of high-quality plastic and metal. The metal acts as a frame while the super-hard plastic gives the impression of a…

I recently switched from a (amazing) Lenovo X1 to a Retina MacBook Pro (also fantastic) and quickly realized that after seeing the sleek, sexy Retina display on the MBP, my trusty 2007 Dell WFP, we wouldn't cut it . it's more like my desktop monitors. It was an absolute requirement for me that replacement units didn't have a significant quality contrast to my MBP screen and boy does this monitor deliver. First of all, the 1440p IPS display on this monitor is fantastic. It's the same as the…

I am writing this review as a Mac user. I connect this monitor to a 17" Macbook Pro from late 2011. Specifications of this machine: CPU: Intel Core i7 2.5 GHz Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM Hard disk: 1 TB Crucial Brand SSD Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MBI, as a Mac user I was concerned because Dell does NOT officially support Macs for this line Search the forums and Dell pretty bluntly says they don't support it.They really won't even fix problems.They just claim that they Mac don't…

I'll go straight to the issues I encountered while using this monitor and then elaborate on my review in detail. My first major issue with this monitor is the power saving/standby issue. With most monitors I've seen on the market, if your computer goes to sleep, you unplug the monitor cable, or your computer tries to put the monitor to sleep (using VESA DPM ). Not this monitor! This monitor goes to full brightness and displays a large warning message "No cable. After 5 minutes, the display…

Background: I bought this monitor to replace a broken 1080p monitor that broke at Acer support (had to send it back and they broke it, repackaged it to send it back and the display didn't work). I own and LOVE my Dell P2415Q (24 inch 4k Ultrasharp). I connected it to my Macbook and Surface and the quality of the product and the display is impeccable. I thought Dell would be the obvious choice as I could buy a Korean monitor for half the price but Dell has such better quality and in my opinion…

(NOTE: This review is for the 25-inch Dell UltraSharp U2515H.) Absolutely stunning display. 1440P on a 25" display offers a slightly higher PPI than most traditional 1440P panels, which are 27" monitors. I use this monitor on two PCs, my Windows 10 gaming desktop and my 2013 Retina MacBook Pro for work so I know what the experience is like on both Windows and Mac OS X. This monitor is indeed the best of both worlds. fantastic viewing angles, as you would expect from an IPS display. I like that…

This monitor is mainly used for gaming and sometimes for watching movies. I'm usually very picky when it comes to monitors. I've tried all types, 144Hz TN, a few IPS but this one shines far and wide beating anything I've used before and at $300 it can't be beat. I'm sure you'll find an excellent IPS panel with a 100+ Hz refresh rate, but prices start at around $700 for something of this caliber. Probably too cool for the average person. I'll start with the positive things. Pros: Lowest…

I will be absolutely honest and impartial. I like the monitor but I don't like it. I think a reasonable price for this monitor should be 289.99 and nowhere near 400. I've bought two of these monitors and think I'll buy a third in a month or two just to see if the price goes down. The monitors were sent in an Amazon box, the boxes were undamaged. However, when opening a second monitor. The second monitor has a scratch on the bezel next to the Dell logo. It's about an inch long. It doesn't…
