Good monitor for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a decent monitor at this price level, good size and resolution. The screen is glossy, other than that it's fine.

Thanks for your review. We'd recommend using the HDMI port on your monitor if you'd like to have sound from your Apple laptop through this monitor. We hope this helps.

WHAT? No speakers?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well for video, but there is no audio input. I had to buy separate speakers for sound.

disappointing resolution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very disappointed that the resolution is not much better than my analogue screen. It is supposed to be high resolution and is not. And it certainly wasn't the cheap model.

Posted .Hi Makusu - Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that your monitor is not performing the way that you wanted it to. We'd suggest looking into the Adaptive Screen Brightness settings: Windows can adjust the brightness of the display based on how much light is reaching the system's ambient light sensor. This feature is referred to as 'adaptive brightness' and it can be disabled in Windows. Here are some steps to adjust this feature:
1. In the Search box, type Settings.
2. Touch or click Settings (Modern application).
3. Touch or click System.
4. On the Display screen find the Adjust my screen brightness automatically option.
5. Touch or click the slider to toggle the option on or off.
6. Touch or click Apply.
7. Close the System window.
You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2vjtPzg.
We hope these settings changes help with the overall brightness of your new Dell monitor. - Bryan

I would recommend this to a friendhorrible for text
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's hard to judge monitors in-store at Best Buy since they show video content from the TV dept rather than actual computer content. For black text on a white background there's a red tint to the left of text and blue tint to the right. I suspect this reflects the layout of the pixels. I took this back and got a higher res Dell U2518 that was 3x the cost but I'm overall still much happier with it.

Screen randomly turns off, do not buy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these. One of them would randomly turn off for a few seconds. I tried everything, and researched how to fix this. There isn't a fix. The monitor is faulty. Many others have the same problem with this monitor, and others from Dell. I wont be buying any more monitors from Dell.

HDMI Port keeps failing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is connected to a MacBook Pro via a min-displayport-to-HDMI cable and have gone through 2 cables already. It only works for a month before the cable fails. I'm going to try a VGA cable instead.
