This is a great monitor with crisp clear picture quality.

There is nothing I don't like about this monitor. It has a great picture, it was inexpensive and appears like it will last for a long time.

Quality image. No lag and no pixels.

I got this dell monitor because I needed a secondary screen for my desktop. I cannot believe the amount of efficient that comes in with having a second monitor. That being said, the picture quality on this monitor definitely is much better than the one I have now. It really feels like it is 4K quality; so a definite value for the cost, in my opinion. It was very easy to set it up. And the base is fairly compact. This monitor does have some weight to it and feels durable enough. Very thin. It needs an HDMI cable. And I recommend you get a good hdmi cable. You can use the vgi cable it came with but I love my hdmi. I wish it had sound in the back - would have been even more awesome. Anyway, you really can’t go wrong with this monitor. The quality image is too notch. Thank you.

Great from Any Angle

While my husband and I aren't tech geeks, I can tell you that this is an improvement on our old monitors you can view the picture clearly from any angle. With the 19" Dell monitor that this one replaced, if you were standing to one side or viewing from directly above, the picture appeared very washed out and mostly indecipherable. This one looks the same no matter where you're standing. So if you're monitor is more than a couple of years old, this would certainly constitute an upgrade. Two things - this was supposed to come with three cords, but one was missing from the box so my husband had to run out to Target to pick up a replacement. Also, and I suppose this is a good thing, he dropped it on the floor when he was setting it up and it survived without a scratch. So we know it's relatively durable.

Beautiful Screen......VIVID!

Love my new Monitor, Beautiful Vivid Screen! Priced well too.

A good basic IPS monitor!

OK, first of all, I'm using this for both gaming and regular PC use. I have very light-sensitive eyes, so I'm really happy with the Dell Display Manager software which can be set to automatically detect what you're doing and adjust the monitor's brightness, saturation, gamma, and contrast for you, so you aren't fiddling with monitor controls all the time. This means when I'm surfing the web, it's darker (because I can't handle the bright white web pages), and then when I switch to a video or game, it gets brighter and the contrast is adjusted automatically to give the best quality image. This is a fantastic feature. Let's talk about the built-in monitor controls for a moment, though. Dell was smart enough to make the monitor buttons create an on-screen display showing you which buttons to press to get the desire result. No more squinting at tiny letters or symbols, or fidgeting with buttons trying to figure out which one does what. Adjusting the Dell monitor is a breeze! This doesn't have a DisplayPort on it, which I consider a non-issue. I do have DisplayPort support on my video card, but honestly I think HDMI is just fine for a 1080p image , which is all this monitor can handle. There's no 4K resolution support for this model, but that's fine. Gaming in 4K is nice but setting to 1080p means a higher frame rate and less work for my video card, so I'm fine with HD. Besides, Windows does weird things with fonts and window sizing in 4K, and this is just easier to deal with for everyday Windows computing. Of course, if you're still rocking the old school VGA connection you're still covered here. Dell hasn't abandoned it yet. However, you should be aware that I tried an HDMI 2.0 cable on this and it balked at detecting my PC. I had to switch to an older HDMI cable to get any results. This monitor does not have built in speakers, so you'll need to consider that when setting up. However, it is a really nice IPS panel that has a super-thin bezel. It's all screen, with the tiniest black border, and that's nice. It maximizes desktop real estate while still giving you a very large true 27" diagonal picture. Colors, contrast, sharpness, and white levels are all excellent. No complaints whatsoever regarding image quality. There's no ghosting or lag, either, so gaming works quite well. Bottom line: This is an excellent 1080p IPS monitor with an intuitive software companion app and full support for HDMI and VGA. Five stars.

Nice

Nice color and resolution

Large viewing area, very lightweight/easily portable/easily adjustable good overall monitor

I was surprised that this took an old fashioned power cord. I'm glad- they are so much less expensive and easier to find than the kinds with the converters. They also often take up less space in a surge suppressor strip and there's 2 ends that can come loose, not 3 like with the big brick converters. It's got a removable black stand so it can be easily mounted. It's a very lightweight monitor. The stand doesn't take up a lot of desk space, but the monitor itself does. In fact, I had difficulty with this one because my husband has a hutch type computer desk that closes up like a small closet. This monitor was TOO BIG to go in it, so measure this carefully if you are going to be using it in a small space. It's actually a pretty big monitor. It does have a HDMI connection and I have been using that connection. I've primarily used this monitor to stream video to from a laptop, and it works great for that. It's a good 'watchable' monitor that fits well on my chest of drawers in my bedroom. It's so light that when I found myself needing a monitor to test a computer that came in, it was absolutely no problem to just pick it up and take it to another room. I think even a frail old lady could tote this monitor around. I put it on a tall box for a second, and ended up jerking it down, but it landed flat and didn't hurt it. It's pretty plastic, so I'm not meaning to imply that it is especially durable, but the components inside must be fairly tight. It's a good basic, easy to adjust and use monitor. I'm pleased with it & think it's a good value. I'd recommend it but to all but the most discerning gamers or graphics artists. (Or people with very tight desk space.)

A basic monitor with a surprisingly high-qualiy picture

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!

Great Basic Monitor

Good picture and good quality. Not for gamers but great for workstations.

Very pleased

works and looks great - old monitor was ten years old and only 19 in - what a difference this one makes - good value too
