UPDATE 4/2/2019: I just changed the rating to 4 stars from 3 stars. I dont know exactly what adjustment I made but now I like this monitor, although it is very big! Took some getting used to, but so glad the image is very good now. Love the clarity. Below is my old review from when I first got it. OLD REVIEW: Overall disappointed and not impressed. Looks and feels cheap, esp. for $400. Dell has had plenty of time to perfect their products, and this is worth about $150 in my opinion. I dont know why they even bother selling a panel with this much color bleed. You move your head one inch and the hue shifts noticeably. I guess its OK if you are just playing games. But for doing work or web browsing I find it very distracting. NOTE: I got a different item than advertised. I got a S2817Q with a manufacture date of May 2017. So its not a 2018 model. That said, Im still trying to figure out how to adjust it to my liking. I didnt get to see it in a store, so I thought it would be a new model that would have gotten rid of any problems. I really would have expected more quality from Dell at this price. PROS - it is very big, if that is what you are going for - It has decent speakers. Can plug in more speakers in the back. NEGATIVES - the screen is so big that you cannot avoid seeing the problem with TN panels, so for example on a web page with a white background, I see a pinkish tint a few inches wide on each side of the screen. - you can adjust the image, but it doesnt stick. Mine will revert back at a random time, so there is some problem. It happened while I was typing the previous sentence - the buttons are ridiculously small and hard to push. You have to hold the top of the monitor to prevent it from falling while you press a button. - trying to make adjustments to the image is really - no head phone jack
