Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

التعليق

I purchase this as a gift for my girlfriend and once taken out the package I notice the good design on the monitor. Once plugged in I was amaze on how good it display things. I own a dell 29 widescreen and to be perfectly honest I might change my for this monitor as well. The picture ration is great it has HDMI plug in and 3 USB plugs as well in case you don’t want to use your computer USB’s I’m using my monitor with the display port. Don’t know what that is it’s? Let’s just say it’s better than HDMI for computers ne honest HDMI was made for tv’s not PC’s. My computer quickly realize the new monitor and change graphic and ratio settings to meet the new monitor settings. If you are thinking on getting this monitor stop thinking and get yourself this monitor.

Lives up to the UltraSharp name! I upgraded to this 2 years after release, but considering I was upgrading from a 2007WFP (great monitor in 2006), it was a pretty big step up. From what I understand, the 2715H is basically the same as the 2717D, maybe some USB ports are located differently and the interface is different. My primary use is DAWs, and this monitor gives me the resolution and real estate needed to lay everything out in front of me beautifully. I am 100% happy with this purchase. When choosing a monitor, Id suggest looking at the youtube reviews of this so you can really see what youre getting into. Honestly, you cant go wrong with a Dell UltraSharp! They have never disappointed, and my old 20" lasted me 11 years! A few caveats: 1 - UNLESS YOUR DEVICE HAS A MINI-DP PORT ON IT, BUY A FULL-SIZE DP CABLE! This monitor does come with a DisplayPort-to-miniDisplayPort cable (not sure why that one is the standard monitor cable). My video card only has HDMI and full size Display Ports on it, so I plugged the full size DP plug into my video card, and mini-DP into the monitor. It at first wouldnt recognize the mini-DP cable. I pushed it in further and it finally worked, but then, the frequent blackouts noted in other reviews ensued. I ended up running out to pick up a full size DP cable. 2 - USB PORTS ARE ALL ON THE BACK! I didnt realize this until I ordered, but it didnt make a huge deal to me. My old ultrasharp had 2 USBs on the port console in the back, and then 2 on the side (very convenient). This has 3 USBs close together and a 4th spaced by itself on the display port console in the back, and then a 5th mounted on the back side of the monitor (has battery charging power for your phone, nifty!). I would have preferred them on the side, but its cool. But earlier might have made me decide between this and another monitor.

I purchased this monitor in July 2015 and from the start, the screen would (rarely) go Black for 2-3 seconds. At first, the Black Screen only happened every week or two, and I didnt think much of it. As time progressed, the Black Screen became more and more frequent until now, the Black Screen occurs every 15- 20 minutes or so. (talk about distracting when you are trying to get that memo finished!) From doing an internet search, this Black Screen is apparently a VERY COMMON ISSUE for these DELL monitors. Of course, it is well past any warranty time period (I used my Amazon Synchony card which has no feature like extended warranty). So now, this monitor is destined for the landfill and I am destined to spend another $500 for a new monitor. I would strongly recommend against buying this DELL monitor. Kathleen

I bought one of these a year and a half ago from Amazon and it was great. The one I have from them is still working great and has great colors and calibration out of the box. I bought another one from Amazon a few weeks ago, and I have no clue what happened, but it looks like quality control has gone down the drain. I matched the exact same settings on my new monitor with my original and the color calibration out of the box is way off, theres way more light bleed, and you can see faint lines developing. The monitor is usable, but for a premium monitor at a premium price you expect more. Im returning it. I did notice on the back of my original it was manufactured as "rev a" or revision a. The new one that I just bought was rev b. I have a feeling the sourcing of parts and factory where they now build these has changed and quality has gone down the dumps as a result.

I have a late 2008 macbook pro and a late 2012 mac mini and had been running my mini with an old LCD 30" Cinema Display which finally developed the infamous blinking problem and needed replacing. Did my homework and this is the way to go - period. This monitor is fabulous and works perfect straight out of the box with the above mac computers (or later Im sure). Necessary cables are included (use the mini display port and works fine with either computer) and comes with a built in hub of USB 3 ports, etc. and the non-glare screen. I debated for weeks about this vs. the Apple Thunderbolt (kept looking at the Apple display at a Best Buy) and couldnt justify over twice the price, old USB 2 ports, a high glare screen, and a huge bezel. This literally took less than 15 minutes to hook up from opening the box to marveling at the screen. The stand is ingenious and easily adjusts by sliding the screen up, down, at an angle, or flipping 90 degrees (dont know why Id ever do the latter). My computers wont support 4k and I have no idea why any normal user would want this - I set the monitor to max resolution (2560 X 1440) and everything was too small (but crisp and detailed). Backed it up to 1344 X 756 for general reading/internet surfing use and easy to read if youre blind like me. Max for photoshop, etc. and looks amazing. Ive seen lots of repeat queries about using this with a mac (with all answered) but hope this sums it up. May buy a second one for dedicated laptop home use. Really happy.

I like this monitor. It doesnt have the highest pixel density on the market but I find it works better and more consistently than my 4K monitor. I use this more often except when looking at pictures. Good contrast ratio. Comes almost perfectly calibrated to sRGB and D65. Looks great out of the box. There is a little bit of light bleed in the bottom left corner, but thats typical of IPS. Also, supports 2560x1440 at 60Hz over HDMI. Update (November 2015) I am coming back to add to my review of this monitor because Ive had such a good experience with it. It has been a pleasure to use and its never given me any problems. Ive tried using my i1 Display Pro colorimeter on it and ended up just going back to factory defaults, because the defaults are almost perfect. Brightness gets up to 388 cd/m^2. Contrast is 1096:1. Color temperature is 6863K (supposedly a little on the cool side but in my experience its just about perfect). I was getting rather tired of profiling displays and adjusting settings, but this one has made that a non-issue. Ive noticed no ghosting or artifacts. Also, Ive had no issues with windows on my desktop getting moved around when the monitor goes to sleep. And it always wakes up. That being said, its not perfect. You can see some light bleed on the corners if you are looking at a black screen. Also, the color temperature isnt perfectly consistent from corner to corner. However, I dont notice any of this issues in normal use. And I consider myself rather attentive to those kinds of things. Ive seen a lot worse, and I imagine most people wouldnt even notice. All in all, it gets out of your way and just shows you a great picture the way its meant to be seen. I would buy it again.

Monitor arrived in perfect condition; I used to worry about shipping large monitors like these, but now Im accustomed to receiving an abused outer box, with the actual product box being unscathed inside. Plugged in via Display Port (glad to finally ditch the clunky bigger DVI), and happy to report no dead pixels (you always hold your breath on that first power-on, dontcha?). Performance-wise, my older GTX 660 has trouble keeping up with videos in full screen, but windowed 1080p is no problem, and were talking about a 3-year old graphics card so this was totally expected; will upgrade to new card soon. Im able to view 125 glorious lines of code in one screen, which has a measurable effect on my productivity. I use this monitor almost exclusively for programming. So far everythings great, but one observation is that it took more time to get the image/colors tweaked right for text than I anticipated. Im not saying thats a huge drawback, or that the menu system is poor, its just that out of the box I wasnt satisfied with the initial presentation. The good news is that it is very configurable, the bad news is that you may have to spend extra time getting comfortable. For reference, the settings that made the most difference for me were Custom Colors all set to 90, Brightness 70 - 100, Contrast 90 - 100, and Sharpness 50 - 80 (the Sharpness seems to make the biggest difference for text). I sometimes switch to "Standard Mode" or "Multimedia" presets depending on the ambient light. I thought I might eventually get used to the "touch-sensitive" buttons for on-screen adjustments, but I have to admit I hate them more and more each day. I work in a dark room, and it would have been much better to have tactile feedback of actual buttons, even cheapo plastic ones. The touch-sensitive areas are definitely cool and professional, but I mistouch options more often than I hit them. Really annoying. Plus it feels weird to mash a flat bezel. At least Dell lets you customize 2 areas for quick access, thus minimizing navigation. Maybe with more practice, my rage will subside... The stand, as other have said, is amazingly good; the first factory stand Ive ever liked. However I did upgrade to an Ergotron vesa mount just to get more desk space, but fortunately the 27" stands attachment fits my other 24" Dell monitors, an unexpected bonus. I do see the backlight bleeding that everyone talks about, but it really is minimal on my screen. I almost never do dark colors, so its mostly imperceptible while coding. The anti-glare coating is great, no reflections whatsoever. The bevel is so thin, its practically begging for a companion monitor next to it. Even after the few criticisms I mentioned above, this is easily the most outstanding monitor Ive ever used for coding. I love this monitor, and glad that I spent a little more for quality rather than getting a cheaper option.

Got this monitor after returning a (only slightly cheaper) display. Wow, what a difference. This is a fantastic monitor! Im even considering getting another one to replace my other 1000 dollar Apple display now as well. The image is crisp and clear, very even illumination across the panel and the matte surface is the perfect amount of mattness. The image is solid across a wide viewing angle and even at the extreme angles the color and brightness shift is pretty uniform (it just gets dim rather than going all crazy washed-out like some screens do). Also its hard to describe but the image looks like its very "close" to the surface of the screen (rather than being recessed into the monitor, if that makes sense) almost like the image is printed onto the outside surface of the glass. Id buy another one of these in a heartbeat. In terms of physical design, the bezel is impossibly thin and the front glass is seamless almost all the way to each side. Looks really nice on my desk. The base is very sturdy and and adjusts easily for height and angle. From the side the case tapers to a very thin edge and despite the generous screen size it looks very elegant and streamlined. The only gripe I have is that, like my other dell monitor, this one uses those terrible touch sensitive buttons instead of physical tactile buttons for the menu navigation. Theyre TERRIBLE since you have no physical feedback that youve pressed the button or not and the menu/input system is very laggy so you end up clicking too many times or not enough. Luckily once you get the monitor set up to your liking this becomes pretty trivial as you will rarely be using the buttons. Still, its kind of amazing that they let such a glaring design problem slide when the display shines in every other regard.

Great monitor! Arrived very well packaged and in perfect shape. I have always liked the Dell table mount with full tilt and height adjustment, and this one is as good as always. I use this with a mid-2015 15" Apple MacBook Pro Retina and a Lenovo T460p (quad-core i7 with discrete Nvidia graphics), both connecting with the included display-to-mini-display port cable. While both laptops could drive a much higher resolution monitor, I see no point in more than 2560x1440 in a 27" as I work mostly with text and static images, not live graphics. For my eyes, 27" at 2560x1440 is just about ideal - higher res. becomes annoying to useless for text, and is lost with static statistical graphics images. This monitor is my perfect solution for a large display workstation monitor when connecting my laptops at home. Mine arrived with no dead pixels and within about 5-10 minutes I had it all unpacked, wired up and working just fine.
