I purchased this monitor to work as an extra screen with my laptop. Perfect picture quality images. As soon as I connected it to my laptop via serial cable and split view the screen, it was plug and play. Very easy.

Simple cable connections, wide views for opening multiple applications at the same time. Super sharp image that draws out the details. Only criticism would be the sound options are limited. Each monitor has an audio out port but I haven’t used them yet.

I purchased three of these monitors. The bezel is about 1/8" and work perfect for a 3 monitor setup. VERY easy to setup. Run them all via HDMI and they are perfectly matched out of the box--no color changes between them. Look incredible. Replaced 3 other Dells with wider bezels--these look better.

Monitor Makes it an Ease to Work!

I'm very happy with my purchase, and the monitor was a great value. The 24" display is perfect. Now that I work from home the extra monitor makes a big difference in viewing certain applications. I highly recommend for those individuals working from a laptop.

Review based on standard purchase price of $230

I purchased this monitor for $120 on sale. I will save time for everyone and say this monitor simply is not worth $230. Do not pay that price. It appears you are paying for the looks of the physical monitor more than the performance.
As always my negatives come first as they may be deal breakers for some and the positives won't matter.
1. The monitor has no vesa, nor a stand that can adjust beyond tilting the screen. I knew this purchasing it and was ok with that at $120. At $230 it is inexcusable.
2. The monitor has 6ms delay gray to gray which is standard for an IPS but the input lag in total is between 20-30ms. Way too high for a PC monitor.
3. My monitor has a major flashlight issue on the bottom right hand corner. It is very noticeable due to the rest of the monitor being ink black and beautiful. I was very sad to see this and tried to get past it but I can't. It consumes 25% of the screen
Positives
1. It is a beautiful monitor from a physical perspective. The near frameless design looks awesome and the stand though non adjustable looks awesome.
2. The color reproduction in the areas where the flashlight doesn't exist is awesome. Movies and video games look great.
3. Though it isn't true 4k and isn't real HDR it can process those signals which allows you to tune the HDR white and black levels in a game that has HDR. Overall this produces a nicer picture. You are also hard pressed to tell the difference between real and fake 4k at this size.
My end thoughts are this. Buy this monitor if the following applies to you.
It is found on sale for $120 or less
You absolutely cannot live without a frameless design
You don't need vesa or any adjustable features outside of tilt
You don't require a low input lag monitor for gaming or can accept the 20-30ms input lag
You are willing to take the gamble to see if you get a monitor without flashlighting
Essentially you want a cheap frameless IPS monitor for work, HD movies, or HD gaming. Again that is only if it is on sale $230 is too much for what you are getting.

Bought this monitor for work, overall did not realize what a great deal I was getting. The screen is amazing, has hdr almost no bezel. Picture is crystal clear.. Right now looks like you can pick it up for 119.99 and that is even better. I have a 2k monitor at home which is the lenovo one. I almost want to trade that monitor for my work monitor. I would suggest this monitor to anyone I know.. most computers out of the box won't hit the 2k mark for gaming so this monitor will suit most people's needs in a great fashion

My son has a gaming computer that this monitor was purchased for. A friend recommended this monitor for the price & the quality. Saved a few extra dollars getting open box. Everything came as stated and packaged well. Easy hookup. Great price for the monitor.

Nice crisp clear picture. We use these in an office environment so I can't speak to refresh rate or video/gaming performance but the almost edgeless design is really nice and the fact that it came with an HDMI cable was just an added bonus that saved us maybe 20 - 30 bucks per monitor purchased so figure that into the price if you're comparison shopping.
We bought a bunch of monitors recently from another manufacturer and they only included VGA cables and I don't think any of our machines had VGA video out. Had to buy a bunch of HDMI cables instead.

I got this on sale for $119.99. It has one VGA port and one HDMI. I wanted to use it for a console and a computer so I can switch. But the deal was too good so I'm using this monitor with a powered HDMI switch. To get sound from both devices, I'm using the audio out. The picture quality is amazing and there is no noticeable lag between the devices.

Excellent screen, probably the best I owned. As someone else mentioned before, I got two and they were of slightly different height, managed to level them off in the end. Looking good from both sides. thin bezels up front and elegant back. Got them on sale and nothing else compared price/quality

The picture is an extremely nice upgrade from my previous setup. It did take a while to get the settings just the way I wanted them and settings are in more than one place. I was baffled why everything had an odd tint to it and the whites were more of a yellow but I eventually found the blue light setting was the cause. Only thing that would make these better would be display ports and vesa mounts.

I bought this monitor to use with my business PC. I've ended up purchasing a different monitor for the work PC and moved this on to my personal PC. Very good picture and extremely slim bezel. I would definitely buy this one again.

Love my new Dell monitor. Much larger display area than the one it replaced. Colors are bright and sharp and images load seamlessly. Would recommend, in fact others in the office can't wait to get theirs.

Bought this for my son to couple with his Radeon Rx 480. He was previously playing on a 40in tv, but he like the monitor better. The thin bezel is nice.
