Pleased with purchase, already had one so now have the two screens for better visuals as laptop was straining my eyes. Not too big for the desk size. Only thing is that can only tilt, no height adjustment but you could put height boxes under to solve
Price increased by 25 a couple of days after I bought it, so keep an eye on the price.
Nice sized monitor and QHD generally seems to scale better than 4k for my PC’s.
Buttons are bit fiddly, but thankfully DDC/CI is fully supported, so you can use the Dell Display Manager software to adjust it and switch between different inputs with a chosen hotkey.
This is the most useful feature for me and not properly supported by all monitor manufacturers.
There are also a number of useful free 3rd party software utilities so you can share 1 keyboard and mouse and 1 display with multiple computers and Firesticks without needing to fiddle with any buttons or buy any extra hardware.
I’d have liked a USB hub and speakers or nicely integrated soundbar and ability to swivel, but hell it’s at least 100 less than models which do have those features so I can live with that.
I haven’t checked the power consumption, but it does run incredibly cool compared to all my other monitors.
edit.
I forgot to say, echoing some previous reviews, I did have to spend some time fiddling with colour settings to make the images acceptable.
I didn’t need to do this on previous U2515H and P2418D Dell monitors.
To start with any white text on a dark background had green edges which made it horrible to look at.
The monitor only has preset modes not full adjust, but Nvidia control panel and WIndows Display Colour Calibration App helped adjust.
Check windows colour filters are not enabled as this will make adjustment even harder than it needs to be.
I ended up with maximum contrast and 50% brightness on the warm setting.
Black is black and no flicker.
Slight pink edge to white text on dark background is bearable, but I can see why a designer might lose their mind.
Having said that it performed all the Passmark Monitor Test program tests pretty much perfectly, so maybe the bleed is caused by Windows font rendering settings, I’ll keep searching…
The font smoothing setting made no difference either way.
I don’t think QHD would be good enough for any larger than 27 inches up close, might explain some of the negative comments from 32 inch purchasers.
I have two of these screens and they are brilliant – working from home on a laptop has been transformed by having a pair of screens to plug into. Great big screen with perfect screen quality. Good value for money I would say. No issues in over a year – very happy with my purchase.
I needed a bigger screen for my home office work & programming.
This is an ideal size and the quality of the screen is superb
I would 100% recommend this screen for home office
This screen works as expected. It’s not the best screen I ever used but it’s perfect for what I need it for and functions well as a second monitor for my laptop. It’s easy to connect (just plug and play) and a good size.
I’m using this monitor for remote working, it’s been a few months since I bought it to test to see if its still good and it is great! The screen fits nicely on my desk so I can have a second monitor. The brightness and quality is top!
I’m really happy with this monitor, the colours are nice and vibrant (but not too saturated, it looks realistic if that makes sense), supports 4K at 60hz so it looks smooth and fast. The only downside is the stand it sits on is a bit short, so you’re looking down at it unless you put it on a small stand. No biggie
It is a big help to me. I was having trouble reading the text on the laptop screen, even though it’s 15 inch. This screen at 24″ is just about the optimum size for what I want. Maybe, if you want something for games, you may want to get a 27″, but that would be a bit too clumsy for me.
EDIT: Wow a brand new screen !! and the old one back in the same box the next day! Not great that it failed after 18 months but the professionalism of Dell Customer care was very good – no problem – Would feel safe buying more Dell products.
The only thing that is a little annoying is that the
Warranty started in November 2022 and I bought the screen in February 2023 (can be checked on the dell
website with a service tag).
That is the reason that i gave it 4 stars and not 5
1. The colors are a bit washed out. The dark mode(where everything is black) looks grey on the monitor.
2. The monitor keeps randomly switching off for a few seconds then gets switched on automatically. This happens only when I am watching movies and not when I am working. I was not able to isolate as to what caused this issue.
3. The video freezes on the monitor very frequently for a few seconds.
To sum it up, if you are fine with a bit of washed out colors, the monitor works well if you are going to be using it for work. For gaming and watching movies it probably would not be that apt, since it randomly freezes and that would be very inconvenient.
The whites are white, the darks are dark with good contrast and no loss of detail in the shadow or highlights and the colours looks pretty good.
The monitor is plug and play with zero fuss setting this up on my Win 10 laptop, and it comes with a little desktop app that makes it super easy to see and control the different monitor settings – but for me the default settings work perfectly out of the box with no tweaking required.
This is a mid-range monitor for the price of an entry level monitor and I would buy it again even at the new higher price.
I give this five stars for the value, it doesn’t compare to professional quality screens used for example video editing but you can expect to pay hundreds of pounds for that level of equipment – for what it’s worth this monitor is five stars for the value and excellent performance at this price point.
