Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor Bundle with AmazonBasics Single Mounting Arm

Comment

This is an outstanding monitor for Mac users. I have two of these Dell monitors I use with my 2015 MacBook Pro Retina system via the Thunderbolt ports. I didnt have a single problem installing the monitors, and they worked with the MBP without any fuss, and using the cables that came with the monitor. The image quality is outstanding, rich and stable, and the lack of a bezel is welcome in reducing my desk space. The base of the unit is similar to Apples Space Gray, and it has an Apple-like design, which is welcome. In terms of construction, the monitor is solid and doesnt wobble. Im a long-term Apple user and this is one of the first big non-Apple purchases Ive made. I admit to a bit of a bias toward Dells monitors -- simply because they are from Dell -- but I must say that I am very pleasantly surprised and would make the same purchase again without hesitation. The only complaint that I have is that these monitors dont have built-in speakers. It would have been very easy for Dell to include speakers within the monitor, but they elected to keep the speaker external via the Dell Sound Bar 511, which is a bit of an ugly wart on the bottom of an otherwise attractive monitor. Obviously, it wasnt a show-stopper for me, and Ive purchased a small, $25 Anker speaker to hide behind the Dell monitor(s) to provide sound. In any case, if you are an Apple MacBook owner, dont hesitate to pick up one of these monitors for yourself. I hope that, like me, youll be pleasantly surprised with your purchase.

I purchased two. So, I had the same black-out thing as everyone else has, but I figured, okay. I can live with that. But washing the screen gently on one, the TINIEST bit of water must have gotten under the bottom lip on one. Huge bad vertical random color strip. Alright, lets say this is my fault. Ill still not get mad. So I took that one out to the living room and let my GF use it as a TV. Bumped against it one day, vaccuuming. Insta-trashed. Alright. Fine. Ill deal. My fault both times, right? Second monitor Im using as my computer screen, works okay except for the occasional blackout. Still dealing with that okay. I decide to clean my computer desk. GENNNNTLY move it with one hand. CRACK. Trashed where my thumb was. NO WAY. This one was NOT my fault. These monitors are as fragile as butterfly wings. So long as you NEVER move these things, they work ok. BUT NEVER EVER MOVE THEM FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.

I have both the 24" and 27" Dell models. Bought the 27" on Prime Now. They both work great. Specifically, I use them for software development and needed something with a high resolution for text, not video. The 24" runs at 1920 x 1200 (native) and the 27" runs at 2048 x 1152. They are both plugged into an older Nvidia GeForce GT 220 graphics card on a windows computer. I had bought a Samsung 28" UE5010 4K monitor at a big box store and it was considerably cheaper than the 27" Dell. Even though the Samsung had higher resolution and was bigger, I did not think the text quality was as good as it was on the Dell 27", so I took the Samsung back. I need something that is easy to read, and the Samsung side-by-side with the Dell was not that good. In fact, I preferred the Dell 24" over the Samsung 28". I also have two older Dell monitors that must have cost a grand each 10+ years ago, but the also still work fine. So hoping the new Dells have many years in them.

After having a Dell 2407 for almost 10 years now, I went with the Dell Ultrasharp series in hope for quality. Unfortunately, I had to return this. The backlight bleed/IPS glow was unacceptable. If any solid color occupied most of the screen, you would see obvious differences from region to region. A solid black screen could not exist to any viewer at any angle. Color calibration was also extremely bad. For example, I couldnt get pure red to look anything other than a brick red, unless I sacrificed all of the other colors to do it. The bleed/glow problem compounded this color issue. There was vertical color banding throughout the screen, a new sort of monitor failure to me. OSD was hard to use, provided no tactile feedback.

Simply the best monitor in its class on the market. This had low input lag, beautiful and accurate color reproduction, sharp text, and great thin bezel. If an IPS, 24inch, 2K monitor without costly g-sync is what you want this is THE one to buy. Its great for office use, artist use, and gaming. Good for gaming a long as you are content with 60hz. I am, and given I do digital art and game, this is fine compromise for me. Its IPS so the viewing angles are amazing. There is absolutely zero color shift when viewing this monitor at any sane angle. It has a best in class refresh rate and less than 10ms input lag meaning you will have decently responsive gaming. You might not win a CSGo tournament using one of these, but if your idea of fun is slapping on an action RPG or even playing an FPS in anything less than hardcore competition mode you will do fine. Again this monitor does compromise as its an all-around performer rather than a single-focused product. Still I game on this and Im quite happy. I even play racing sims on this and Im happy. Its got DC violate controlled backlight LEDs Thus 100% flicker free and NO headaches from s***ty PWM lighting. The backlight its not 100% uniform but from what Ive seen scouring reviews nobodys is. These have found to have no more than a 5% variance in luminescence across the panel in the two I own. There is IPS glow, its inherant to the IPS technology. Until we get affordable AMOLED displays this is just the price of getting good color. Its not a perfect monitor, but in terms of an all around great 2k display this one wins. This monitor also quite acceptably down-scales/interpolates to deliver a 1080p source. Their is only a minor blur effect, and most of the fuzziness is inherent to having a 1080p source on such a large display. So this will be able to drive Blue-ray or console content with a quite an acceptable experience. I could go into great detail about this montors color reproduction but its easier just to say Im a digital artist with far better than average-joes color sensitivity. Not only do I not have color blindness but Ive carefully trained my perception to pick out very subtle changes in color. Trust me when I say this is an *accurate* colored monitor. Mind you accurate is less saturated than most people think. Most display (like your samgsung phone that every gushes over, are over-saturated. But these can easily be tuned with a colorimeter or spectrometer to produce print-accurate color. With these I can produce paintings and order a finished print that is exactly what I expected. I use a colormunki colorimeter and use displayCAL to tune my color profiles. The slightly matte screen prevents glare and doesnt produce any graininess that I can see. Display port in and out lets you daisy chain in case your graphics card (like mine) only has 1 DP and you want dual monitors. Its a modern monitor that only supports modern ports, which thank god. VGA needs to just die already. That being said it doesnt have VGA or DVI connectors so plan accordingly. And hooray for VESA mounts. It uses 100mm mounts. Im able to mound them monitor arms and free up desk space for more junk and clutter! As a final thought. IMO, eventually the VESA standard Adaptive sync will end up winning the format war between AMD and NVidias absurdly priced, proprietary G-sync. But I think we are several product generations away from a GPU-montior synchronization technology becoming standard on all mid-range and up monitors. Thus its a safe choice to buy one these today if you cannot afford an Acer predator. For anybody who doesnt game at all, this is a no-brainer. This is the 2k monitor you have been looking for.

I got this one for 2 years now, and today I finally get rid of it. Because it blinks to black randomly. I tried so many ways and never got problem solved. I even replace my Surfacebook.

Install Flash Player First, the picture quality on this monitor is great! I used it for a bit over a year. No complaints. I did a lot of work and watched a lot of YouTube on this guy. Happy days. But then, the sun started to set a little earlier, the winds blew a little stronger, and jobs required us to move. As the wife carefully attempted to move the monitor for the first time, she lifted it from the base, and in an instant, the screen detached and a crack sprinted across the screen like a bolt of lightning. After the dust had settled, I examined the machine and discovered a critical flaw: the base and monitor have 2 "snaps". In one the monitor is secure. In the other the monitor is looking to jump off the stand like its the Titanic. Both locking modes look exactly the same. I have zero idea why they would do that. The worst part is, I took a video clearly showing the problem, called Dell, talked to 3 people, and NO one would help nor even LOOK at the video! Its clearly a design flaw in the product (imagine if there is an earthquake in a city with a lot of Dells--monitors will be raining down like fireballs from Zeus). They said "Unfortunately because its a monitor we dont do repairs". I said, "How about a replacement?". They said "Because its a user caused issue we arent allowed to do that". I said, "look at the video", they said "Let me transfer you to sales theyll help you buy a new monitor". Anyway, I cannot recommend this Dell monitor as you cannot trust a product which has the feature, apparently on purpose, "designed to fall on your face".

Im a UX Designer and Software Engineer by trade, so text clarity and color accuracy are critical to my workflow. Fortunately, the U2715H delivers. Ive been through several of the 24-inch Ultrasharps for the past 5 years or so, but their color performance has always been middling. The U2715H came almost perfectly calibrated with a color depth that makes my now-secondary 24-inch Ultrasharps look depressingly washed out no matter how much I fiddle with them. Theres also the pixel density difference. For all those 1080P folks out there–its time to upgrade. Your eyes will thank you for it. Scaling isnt the headache it is for Windows with 4K monitors (trust me–I have the ASUS 28-inch 4K monitor and had to abandon hope of getting it to be useful for Windows 8.1 at 4K. Maybe theyll get it fixed in 10. Mac OSX works almost perfectly with 4K, however.) The bezel reduction in this years model is also a godsend. I dont game much these days, but the display has been perfect for gaming as well. Pros: Color accuracy Response time Looks Non-reflective, smooth (unnoticeable film) matte covering Power efficient OSD performance greatly improved over previous years Small bezels No real scaling issues Viewing angles are top-notch VESA compatible (standard for Ultrasharps, but still nice to know) Cons: Still pricey–getting a proper three-monitor setup at home will eventually set me back a bonus or two Bezel in product images appears to be slightly smaller than what you really get (not that its a huge deal–marketers gonna market) Port selection is reduced over some previous models Theoretically loses to TN panels for gaming responsiveness and refresh rate (but you already knew that) OSD buttons are soft touch, which will always be worse than physical buttons Regardless of the cons, the U2715H is one of the finest monitors in its range. The only other considerations for professionals are either twice the price with mostly negligible improvements for the normal professional (10 bits versus 8 for color, etc), or are those funky, curvaceous extra-wide monitors, which are not bad, but are slightly mismatched with the normal monitor setup and are essentially just two 24-inch monitors smooshed together. Prices still need to come down a bit more before they really challenge the U2715H, however. You could get two U2715Hs for just over the price of one of those! Madness, I say!

So it blinks to black randomly. Each blink lasts only a few seconds. Go to the Dell support boards, lots of people have this problem, seems they cant get it fixed. Why is Dell selling this inferior product? Avoid this one, buy another brand. I have never, ever, had this problem with another monitor. Why the high rankings, I have no idea.
