I LOVE THESE MONITORS

I recently got into day trading, and needed to upgrade my home rig. I initially purchased 2x 27" monitors, but realized i couldn't mount them on monitor brackets. So I started searching for replacements and came across these monitors on a Best Buy flash sale and they were well worth the investment. I purchased 2, and waiting for another flash sale to purchase 2 more to complete my 2x2 rig for trading.

The resolution is perfect, it is actually pretty lightweight for the size of the monitor. I use two 23" monitors at my job and this to me is just like using the two monitors. It was so easy to set up too - literally two cords to connect! And since my laptop and docking station unfortunately use the VGA cables I was happy that this monitor had that and the HDMI port in case I change laptops in the future. Plus I got this one at a great price than what it actually retails at - saved $150!

Picked this up on a killer sale and looking back it's still worth full price. Screen is easy on the eyes while doing hours of spreadsheets. It's enjoyable while playing MMO's for an hour or two at a time, and it works great for my Xbox One S which is also connected to it on the office desk at home. Great all around screen. Don't have any regrets.
Wish it had more then one HDMI port, but has VGA and DVI ports which i just bought the HDMI adapter for. Working great so far!

Great Except for the Backlight Bleeding

This is a beautiful (and very large!) monitor that looks great in our office space at home. Honestly, the size is what attracted me initially, as we bought a big new office desk, and my old monitor looked tiny on it. However, I think there's a reason this model is always so relatively inexpensive, and that is the topic of Backlight Bleeding. (Google "Backlight Bleeding LED", and you'll learn a ton!) Essentially, this monitor is great for everything except for black tones on the screen. If you're dealing with dark colors, the corners of the screen are going to be visibly lighter. It is a matter of personal preference, but I assumed an all-black screen would appear all-black. That is not the case. There is a noticeable (in my opinion) white emanating from all four corners of the screen. From what I've now read, this is somewhat normal for LED monitors (especially inexpensive ones). But the amount of bleed is too much for me to recommend this model. For lighter colors, though, it really is a beautiful display.

I needed this for work, not gaming. Clear and accessible menu buttons on the bottom right. VGA and HDMI connections, I'm using the VGA and this monitor as a 2nd monitor in a dual monitor setup for work from home. Big screen and 1920 X 1080 native resolution is getting hard to find. I like the larger text and menus for my old eyes. Color seems a little blue, but you can adjust easily. Great deal for a quality monitor with 100% good pixels. Thanks Dell (Best Buy).

I'm not a big technophile, but I sometimes play PC games on max settings and the picture looks so nice. I don't feel any blur or lag on this monitor, and my gaming experience feels so much better than on my PS4 or Switch. Watching videos have been great too. I watch Blu-Ray DVD movies on my PC and the quality is great. I highly recommend this display, which should be one of the most affordable for its size and picture quality.

This was one heck of a buy at $150.
It is big and colors, text, video, pictures are great.
I have a 24" Dell next to it and it looks really small.
I usually need reading glasses 1.5 mag. for the 24 in need nothing on the 32 Dell. Very crisp and sharp.
You'll need space for it though.
One little draw back is it's port are only HDMI and the older VGA.
Don't understand why the VGA.

Solid Display Monitor

Please be aware that this screen is MASSIVE. Truly, it's the size of a small TV - which is excellent if you want to stream video or do artistic renderings on this display (the more the merrier, right). However, if you're using this to write papers or work off of spreadsheets, try not to be overwhelmed by how much information you will see on this display. I say that because it took me some time getting used to as I've only been working off of 24" displays or less since forever. Also, the unit is beautiful. It would be great to have in a reception area or front office - it doesn't come off as your run-of-the-mill computer display at all, very, very pretty.

This is a simple HD large screen monitor that I purchased to do work on. It is perfectly acceptable for that use. If you are looking for a ga.ing monitor, this will let you down on refresh rate, but for business purposes it is a great deal.

This Dell monitor is huge (sits next to my Dell 27" monitor). Setup is very simple. It fired up as soon as I plugged it in. I had some issue with the priority when 'detecting' 1/2 monitors on Win10.
I'd buy another one (as soon as an opportunity presents itself).

Great Monitor For The Price

I bought this Dell 32" monitor for my new "work from home" job. I bought it partially because I saw the online reviews, but also because Dell has always stood by all of the products that I've purchased from them. I really wanted to go with 4K, but since I'm not watching movies or videos on it, I ended up saying, "who cares?"
The price was pretty good, but then while I was still shopping I received my 20% off birthday coupon. Best Buy didn't have the monitor in stock at my local store, so I ordered the monitor (with free shipping) from bestbuy.com. It was at my house in 3 days.
I had some trouble using the coupon, but the associate with whom I chatted got it fixed right away.
The monitor works so well for my application that I'll probably end up buying another one to improve my dual monitor setup.

This is the biggest monitor I've ever had and it is fantastic! I've used 27" monitors for a long time but to be able to get a 32" for the price of a 27" I could not go wrong. Even if you don't catch the sale, it's worth it to go large!

I work from home and needed a larger screen to work from. I use a 17" Dell XPS laptop with an added HDMI connection. I had been searching for a larger screen for about a month, until I finally came across this monitor. I'm so glad I did not purchase anything else. I LOVE this monitor and I especially love it even more knowing I got a great deal when I purchased it. I will say the set up/installation was a bit of a pain but once that was done with, it's just a simple connection or disconnection with an HDMI cable. For the installation a VGA AND HDMI are required.

You’ll never know how great it is to use a big monitor for work until you do. After that, you always have to. This is a beautiful monitor and I got it at a great price. Actually, I bought two.

We used to send out large monitors that broke each time to trade shows. This one is large but not fragile and we can ship it, set it up quickly and provide a good view on our table at a trade show. Quality display, great price and if we use it 4-5 times before shipment causes problems, we are ahead of the game.

I got this for $160 on a random sale and I had a gift card so I only ended up paying $60. Even at around $160 I think it's a great for what you get. The screen quality is great and the overall construction is awesome. However going above 27 inches I think quad hd or 4k would've been a better option.
