I have a 4K monitor at home and use a 2K monitor at work. I ordered this monitor from Dell for my wife to use with her laptop at home. While (as expected) the quality of the display is not 4K standard, I was nonetheless impressed with how clear and sharp the screen image was once I connected it and fired it up. As is reflected in its price, this is a fairly basic, no-frills monitor. The only connections (other than the power cord connection), as shown in the description photo, are HDMI and VGA. It has no built-in speakers. It came with a VGA cable but not an HDMI cable, which surprised me but didn’t bother me because I already have more on hand than I will ever need. The monitor’s height does not adjust up and down, but the screen itself does tilt up and down. It is very light weight-wise and the base does take up very little real estate, which is a plus. I do like the thin bezel because it means no wasted space on the monitor. Setting it up was quick and simple. The post attaches to the base with a built-in screw that you tighten by hand, the other end of the post snaps into the back of the monitor while it’s still in the box, and then you simply remove it from the box and connect the cables. Be aware that the mount is not VESA standard, it’s a unique design. It came well packaged (a box in a box) and in good condition. I am giving it five stars because it is exactly what I thought it would be: a basic monitor with HD resolution. The quality of the screen is surprisingly sharp and meets my needs perfectly, and all I needed was an HDMI connection. Not including an HDMI cable was surprising but not a big deal for me. I hope this review helped….if anything changes as we use it more I will update it. Thanks for reading!
