Great Display Color, Nice Panoramic Size
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the box is the monitor, the mount, the VESA mount section cover, HDMI cord Warranty/Safety/Regulatory Information booklet and a quick start guide. (If you need a manual you can pull it up on the Dell website.) The monitor stand was super easy to attach and no tools needed. There is a latch that you turn upward and twist and tighten. If you would like a more secure tightening then there is a flathead part of the screw as well. I was very comfortable with just tightening with the attached latch. A little side note, the monitor does go back and forth but not up and down with the stand. There is a VESA mount section on the the back of the monitor for a mount where you would be able to move the monitor in all directions and this is sold separately. At the moment, I am okay with having the monitor on the stand so I have not purchased the mount. I am pretty sure I will purchase in the future. The rest of the installation was simple, plug in the HDMI cord and power plug and turn on the monitor. There are two HDMI ports and you can set the monitor to be on HDMI1, HDMI2 or auto select. Personally I like using the auto select because when I switch from work to gaming, I can wake one or the other and the screen automatically switches. I played two of my MMORPG games and at first the refresh rate wasn’t as good as my gaming laptop. I adjusted the monitor and the game video settings and the visuals improved. There are settings on the monitor settings and you can change the color settings for different options, there is even a movie setting. Additional features are the cable management slot and the audio line-out port. The cable management slot is on the stand and you tailor your cords through the slot for organization. The audio line-out port is for speakers, unfortunately not for headphones per the manual. Overall, I really like the monitor and I would recommend it to friends and family.

Sleek, good value, solid monitor
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great monitor, for the value... Let's start right off with the negatives, neither really reduce my rating, but need to be noted - No speakers. That isn't going to be an issue for most gamers, as we all wear headsets, but if you need that in your monitor, this isn't the one you want. - No DisplayPort / Thunderbolt support directly. Only HDMI inputs, so if you need to use one of those popular video connection types, you will need an adapter. - Stand is limited. What you see is what you get, doesn't allow the monitor to be rotate 90 degrees, or a lot of flexibility in height and other adjustments, but the monitor is VESA compatible, so there are hundreds of options out there to do that for you. Now for the good stuff: - This is really slick looking, this is going to look great on any desk, the back is sleek, so even if that is presenting out, looks good. - Easy setup... Dispite the lack of the other popular ports, easy to setup. Plug in, connect HDMi, and you are on your way. No fuss. - Good size for most gaming. You an get to the point to big is too big. this sits right in the sweet spot area, while not taking up a ton of space. Colors are deep and vibrant. Easy on the eyes. The standard brightness and contrast controls are there, so you can tweak to the way you like it. I don't have equipment to measure responsiveness, but from the naked eye, it responds really quick, and perfect for the high paced games that are out now. No USB ports, but no need for them either. just get yourself a usb hub if you need more connections

Well Priced Gaming Monitor
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This gaming monitor is a well rounded one. It displays a 1920 x 1080p with a refresh rate of 75 Hz. It is AMD Free Sync compatible and is at a good price range. This monitor does not have much in the way of a bezel either except at the bottom where you find the Dell logo and has a simple but sturdy plastic stand. This also has 2 HDMI ports. Setting this up is as easy as any other monitor. You will slide the neck of the stand into the back of the monitor and then neck onto the base. You are ready to set it up to the computer. You will plug the HDMI cable (included) into the back of the monitor and then your computer. Lastly, plug in the power cord into the back of the monitor and into an outlet. There is a tilt to the stand of this monitor so that you can set it to just the right angle for your viewing pleasure. A nice feature with this monitor is the IPS technology which gives the same colors at just about any viewing angle. AMD FreeSync is a plus as there are no real image “jerkiness” and play seems pretty smooth. If you do not like that blue light you get from most electronics, this has “ComfortView” which helps reduce that. I recommend this monitor if you don’t have a lot of space for a larger monitor and like playing games. It works well with the games I have played on it. I recommend this Dell monitor. It is a well known name and for the price of this quality monitor it is worth it.

vertical line on monitor

Great screen easy to install
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Dell monitor is a great addition to my laptop setup. The monitor is 23.8 in diagonally, 21.2 inches across, and 16.3 inches high. It weighs about 8.5 pounds. It’s a good sized screen and perfect for watching movies on your computer. The colors standout well and there is no lag between the sound and the picture. The setup was so easy to do. Much easier than setting up the same thing at work. I connected the monitor to my laptop via the hdmi cable that came with the monitor and right clicked on the laptop to setup my screen preference and within 2 minutes I was done. The screen has a matte finish to reduce glare. It has a resolution of 1920x1080 full hd also. It has a 75Hz refresh rate. You can tilt the screen up and down to your comfort level. It also has two hdmi ports in the back. It does not have any speakers and you cannot plug in your headphones to the monitor. It has no sound. It does have a small bezel but the bezel does not impact the viewing arena of the screen. You do t even notice it. I would definitely recommend this monitor as an additional screen for your work station. It feels sturdy and is very easy to setup.

Easy Setup, Clear Image
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the first things I noticed about this monitor is that picture I see is the same size as my old all in one but the unit itself is smaller. This is because the picture goes to edge to edge, no extra room/space on the monitor. Real estate on my desk is at a premium so I appreciate a smaller physical unit that gives me the same size picture. The video has clear images, videos play well. The unit comes with either an adjustable stand or a fixed stand, I received the fixed stand. It works fine for me. the connecting cable is an HDMI cable. Regrettably my Mac does not have an HDMI port and I don't a cable so I can't comment on connecting with a Mac. I did connect to my non Mac laptop and it was very easy. Connect the stand, plug it in and connect it to the laptop. Turn it on. Interesting the monitor asked what language (defaulted to English). Took me a bit to figure out that the buttons under the bottom edge correlate to the up/down arrows etc. Was able to confirm English as the language and then the monitor was displaying my laptop screen. Perfect.
