> 3 dayI was pretty excited to have this new monitor replace my old 2nd monitor until I tried to make it work. Set it up, plugged it in. connected the VGA cable to the computer (27 iMac running Windows 10 in Bootcamp): nothing except No signal. Hmm, strange I thought. So, just in case it was a bad VGA cable out of the box, I swapped the one that came with the monitor for one I knew worked with my computer. Sorry Charlie, no luck with that either. Try 3: Lets see what happens with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable. Forget it, its Chinatown. Try 4: Lets boot into the MacOS side of things (High Sierra) and see what happens there? Maybe its a Win10 quirk. Sucker. Try 5: Lets upgrade to the latest MacOS (Mojave) and see if THAT fixes the problem. Houston we have a problem. Oh, and on top of that the upgrade to Mojave roached the Windows partition so I have that going for me too. In all cases, the desktop doesnt even detect that the monitor is plugged in. While Ive been trying to rebuild my desktop, I plugged it into my Macbook running Win7 and lo and be hold there is light! Indeed, the monitor works fine which means that (a) the cable is functional, (b) the monitor is functional, and (c) theres no real reason for it not to work as an external monitor for my iMac. Gonna give it one more go and then back in the box and back to Amazon it goes.

> 3 dayLike most people, I moved to remote working and did not have an at-home setup. I bought this sort of in a pinch, but its been a great monitor. It was easy to set up and connect to my laptop and fits perfectly on my desk. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE is it does not move up or down, which can affect posture if Im not paying attention. I would suggest finding something to elevate it if needed.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor to use with my Macbook Air when Im at my desk. I didnt necessarily need 27 of screen but this was cheaper than the 24 model at the time so I took the plunge. I am happy with the monitor so far (it was just delivered today). The monitor has a sleek design- a very thin bezel, buttons on the bottom of the screen so they arent visible from the front and a slick back with the Dell logo across it. The monitor works great with my laptop and has clear, crisp images. Im sure that there are better monitors out there if youll be using it for a lot of streaming or gaming but Ill mainly be using it for shopping, bill paying, youtube, etc so you cant beat it for that. Im happy with my purchase. Side note- I did see a review about the scuff marks on the monitor when it was unpacked and mine also had these. I feel like the soft white wrap that the monitor ships in rubs against the screen and leaves the scuff or smudge marks on the screen. I used a damp paper towel and very lightly scrubbed the screen, then dried it with a towel. I had to do this several times but each time I did it, the smudge marks were less and less noticeable. After a few times the marks on the screen were completely gone! So if yours has these when you unbox it, dont stress- just lightly rub with a damp paper towel and theyll be gone in no time.

Greater than one weekNeeded a bigger screen due to failing vision. 27 is perfect for my set up. This monitor is clear and nice focus. Didnt have to make any adjustment. Would prefer the LED monitor but realized after getting this that this is all I need for now.

> 3 dayThe monitor is pretty good for a work computer. The size is great and you can easily have two web pages open at the same time without squinting or straining.

15-11-2024The monitor is great for the price. Using it for software development so the resolution is fine. The only problem is that it showed up without the HDMI cable so I had to go buy one

Greater than one weekI have a 32 monitor as my main monitor, and every time I put the resolution at 1080p, the screen looks heavily pixelated. After purchasing this monitor on a hunch, I was amazed by the quality of the picture at 1080p, and even more with the clarity and color vibrancy. This monitor is mainly for my wifes photo editing and color combinations for her business, and I would only use it for purposes like such; definitely not recommended for gaming unless you can settle for the 60Hz. The game will look good for sure, but you will have severe blur on fast paced scenarios.

Greater than one weekI have two of these setup with extend display. I love it, I’m not sure why I went so long with only one monitor. Normal retail sale is between $230 - $260. So if you see it for sale for @ $160, do yourself a favor, put it in your cart and buy it now!

> 3 dayI have sensitive eyes. My element tv and dell monitors are the only things I can use outside of plasma tvs. I also use a program that blocks blue light. This one might not be big enough for where Im using it; but I will keep it for another part of the house. Problem is, the 43 inch version is 5 times as much. Makes no sense.

> 3 dayMy sole reason for buying this was I needed an extra screen for working from home. This fits that role perfectly. No extra frills, no gaming RGB lights, no super high refresh rate, average contrast, 1080p monitor, purely for having an extra screen while I work from home. If you just need the extra monitor space, I cant recommend this enough. Great budget option to fit that need. If youre looking for gaming or video editing, stay far away. You need to look at the $400 and up range (at least)
