Dell 27 LED Backlit LCD Monitor SE2719H IPS Full HD 1080p, 1920x1080 at 60 Hz HDMI VGA, Black

I like how easy it was to hook up and the quality of the screen.

I swear on all holy christ, F this monitor. First I go to peel off all the ridiculous plastic wrap that they stick onto new electronics nowadays. The sides and the back of the monitor are completely wrapped in it. Jeez, Why does the stupid sides and back of the monitor need that much protection? I think to myself as Im peeling it all off. Then I try to peel it off the actual screen on the front and cant seem to find it or get it to peel off. There is no way they would put it all over the sides and back but not the actual screen itself, right? I look at the included instruction sheet and there is a graphic of peeling the stupid plastic wrap off the main screen on the front just like you would expect. OK, I just need to try harder to peel it off I guess. I notice there does seem to be something stuck to the screen so i start peeling it off but its thicker than the plastic wrap. Damn, what if this is actually part of the monitor or something? Lets just plug it in and see how it looks first. So I plug it in and sure enough, the thing I started to peel off is the damn screen itself! Well, I guess I know how this monitor technology works now at least. The actual pixels are just some thin sheet glued onto a backlight. Great, now my new monitor is damaged within 5 minutes of owning it. And speaking of the backlight, HOLY CHRIST. Even when the screen is pure black it is more like a blinding white light than any sort of black. Like being in an operating room under an operating light. Ive only owned this monitor for a minute and already I hate it more than anything Ive ever bought. F this monitor. I wish I would have used that 150 bucks as toilet paper instead. I would feel much better than I do right now.

Frankly, not much of a review of the screen itself because its perfect. Might as well be a photograph. I do note the viewing angle is so wide that it has no color or picture shifting even when you look at it totally from the side edge on. I do stream video sometime on it (Amazon Prime Video, NetFlix, etc.) and I might as well be watching a TV. I Dont use it for gaming (I dont do shot em ups or GTA stuff) so cant comment about that. Specs look good, but gamers are super hard core about bleeding, ghosting, etc. so no opinion there. I will say that blacks are very black, which is good, not the funky dark brown/green/blotchy/yuk stuff. I had a SE2717H (prior model of this one) that died after being on 24/7 for over two years. My other SE2717H is going strong and right next to this one. Picture is awesome, I love the IPS screen and I can work all day on it with no eye strain. IPS is all I buy anymore for myself or recommend to others. There are slightly better technologies out there now, but not for the money, especially MY money. Screen height is the same as the prior model so they go next to each other just fine. It is not adjustable up and down, only tilts front to back so it needs to be matched in hit to, not adjusted to match another monitor. There are no VESA mounting holes on the back so it must sit on the desk. The bezel is paper thin on this one (about 1/2 on the SE2717) but appears to be just under 1/4 due to the black edge on the panel itself. For $139.99 with next day delivery, you cant go wrong. Slight difference in the two is one is hooked up VGA and the other hooked up HDMI as they are the outputs on my PC. When I swapped the cables, the slight difference moved as well. The older model is on the left and is still running after two years being on and the new one is on the right. Packaging was the Dell box inside of a larger Amazon box with padding around the Dell box as well. I LOVE my Amazon delivery guys as the boxes always arrive without even a scratch. I have MS and now work from home exclusively and have had the Amazon guys actually carry stuff in for me. I cant say enough good stuff about them. Ordered Sunday, and arrived by 9:00 am Monday. In time for me to hook it up in place of the dead one and start my day. Super impressed. Didnt expect it until evening.

Loving this screen, its doing everything I wanted it for. First and foremost, I needed a screen that either doesnt include or has a toggle on the auto-select input feature. This feature has resulted in insanity inducing race conditions between my computers drivers and other screens input detection. On this screen, YOU CAN TURN IT OFF. Life saver. Second, I wanted a bright screen. This screen is bright. Yay! (I looked at the specs to make sure this was the case before purchasing.) The size is nice but at this point (27) 1080p starts looking pretty pixelated. I of course knew that going in though so not a downside, but might want to consider it. One weird thing I did notice that if you turn the Response Time to Fast then this screen has pretty bad ghosting. Maybe thats normal? but its the opposite of what I would expect. Not a big deal, just use Normal (which I think is the default).

Overall great

I was surprised by how lightweight this was. The size is more narrow looking because its height isnt that tall, but it is very easy to setup, and did not have any hard time configuring it with my MacBook Pro. The box does not come with a USB-C / HDMI cable, so you need to buy it separately if you are using a device that takes USB-C

I wouldnt pay the extremely high markup for this product, as I bought it for $154.98 in March 2021. Windows sometimes float off the screen and can be hard to retrieve. Otherwise it works well and the picture quality is adequate. Not perfect but it gets the job done.

Great monitor. Replaced my 20” old one. Use to think that was large, but this one is better. Hard to believe I use to have an old console TV that was 27”. Good picture, good refresh rate, great monitor.

I thought I was saving some money on this monitor by purchasing it used . Turns out I had to spend an additional 40 bucks on a mount because it’s not versa mount ready . The monitor functions ok and looks good though. If you plan on Leaving it in the stand and not mounting it it’s a great buy.
