Rated 5 out of 5 by from High Quality and Sharp Screened Monitor This monitor is really great. It's very sharp and you can't beat the QHD. That being said the only issue I am having is that I have to reduce the resolution to get some things on my taskbar like RDP to open and function properly. This may be more of a windows issue than the monitor itself but it is definitely frustrating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor quality monitor Good picture quality except at the right and left edges, from top to bottom. There is a faint shadow at both locations from top to bottom. Incredibly frustrating, I returned the first one and the replacement had the same problem. If you just watch movies, this monitor is good for you, but my photo editing leaves me wanting something better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Monitors are exactly what I expected, great purchase. Monitor is great, as I have come to expect from Dell. Exactly what I needed, I got two to use side by side. Unfortunately the piece of software that they come with, which I expected to be the icing on the cake Display Manager works very poorly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All around good monitor! Moving up from a 24" screen to this was very satisfying. I was using a Dell S2415H and it is still in use on another system. I needed something a little bigger but not so big I couldn't see out my front windows to the world. :) This size fits nice. Good picture quality, easy controls and the options of extra USB and video ports make it a all around fit for my future needs (if any). I can easily put two files open on the screen without the need for magnification which is nice. I've watched a few movie videos as well as doing some photo editing and I see no issues. Yes, I'm a happy viewer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EXPENSIVE MONITOR WITHOUT NECESSARY CABLES I was very disappointed after receiving my monitor and setting it up only to find that it does not come with the necessary usb c to display port cable. In my humble opinion, this is hideous not to include the normal and most common cables necessary for immediate connection. It costs very little and gives satisfaction to the customer base....BAD marketing and BAD business!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor quality. Black fades on side There is a fade on both sides that is goes for about two inches in. This is supposed to be the 27 inch version of the P2419D that I have, but it is not as bright and has the fade problem. I returned the first one and the second one has the same problem. I would not recommend this monitor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent monitor visually This is an excellent monitor but I have a nitpick with dell monitors of recent years. For some reason they changed the firmware (?) for the monitors menu system. You used to be able to hit one button and see the input, the resolution, and the monitor model. Now all of that is buried in the menu system for some reason. The menu text is now much smaller and lower resolution too. I should have bought 2 of these...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High Quality Monitor Good monitor, compatible with laptop usb to vga/dvi/hdmi adapters and decent usb throughput. Height and tilt adjustability is above average and the stand is solid and stable. Image quality is typical 1440p, nice and crisp, good color reproduction and bleed is minimal (something that is almost a given on an IPS panel). Frequency range is average, again normal for IPS unless you want to may significantly more. The only negative is that there is no USB C or power delivery - this is an older model monitor, which means USB 3.0 only. This isn't a big deal, but you'd expect a slightly lower price for something that is now out of date and doesn't offer feature such as power delivery or high speed (5/10 gbs) data transfer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great monitor for the money I bought two of these for my home office, replacing an old Dell HD monitor, and they did not disappoint. For the price, you get good detail and color, with a sleek, slim profile that looks fantastic. The only gripe I have is that they did not come supplied with HDMI cables, which you'll need to buy separately if you're a Mac user.
