Customer Ratings & Reviews

I decided to upgrade from a 22" monitor. This 27" monitor is huge! The picture is amazing. I'm just using the standard VGA hookup. You don't have to use an HDMI cable to get a dazzling display. The driver software has a display manager where you can select different window panes for display (see uploaded print for the different configurations). You can throw a spreadsheet into a large pane and still have a browser window and file explorer box and see everything at once. This was definitely a steal when it was on sale at $149!

Great monitor with an even better sales price! I had to set up a quick at-home office and this was a GREAT purchase for an easy investment for my home office. Very easy to set up. It came with an HDMI cable, although it said VGA cable. Thankfully the oversight did not cause any issues with my setup. I love the monitor so much I bought a 2nd one!!

I purchased two of these monitors for streaming from my new Alienware Aurora R7 and have been extremely impressed, I now have 54” of screen real estate. The graphics, colors and screen quality is absolutely amazing I play high speed racing and shooting games and these monitors performs above and beyond every time. I did manage to get these on sale for $130 but even at $189 they are a steal and the quality is stunning. If you need a decent well priced monitor that looks great, this is the one.

Great crystal clear monitors and size for the price. My home off looks really great with the monitors. I bought 2. I use them every day.

I bought 2 of these for my home office and it makes everything so much easier to see.

Best monitors I ever owned. I am not a gaming enthusiasts. But I like to game from time to time. However I am a developer so these really work well for me. Great color quality then most monitors in the same range.

I did not need anything with super graphics, I just needed something to use as a dual screen for b My work at home. This was priced very nice and it is a great picture. It actually adjusts and tilts the way I need it to. perfect

I love the size and resolution of this monitor. Easy to set up and use.

i am very pleased that I purchased this monitor! my grandson loves it and never thought Dell brand is affordable !

This monitor is fantastic, budget friendly with 75hertz framerate refresh. Colors are vibrant and true to output. Did not have to adjust settings it’s perfect. Input delay lag is nearly 0 very good! Totally going to buy a second! It’s got a nice screen and a nice glossy back finish!

I purchased two monitors and placed them next to each other in order to have multiple screens open at once. They work great. The picture is clear and perfect. What I didn't know was that they come with an HDMI cable which is great because you don't have to buy another one. They were easy to set up and install. Great buy!

The Dell - SE2717HR 27" minitor is so beautiful. When you work on it you feel like you're sitting infont of a TV. If it detects no HDMI cable connected it'll put it self on power saving mode. I love it.

wow, straight out of the box videos on this monitor look great the color accuracy and the brightness need no adjusting some of you might be wondering, since it is 27" monitor is 1080P good enough? on this monitor, absolutely. There is no blurryness, no jagged edges. small text is perfectly readable. I have owned many monitors including dell ultrasharps and LG ultrawides, and in the past I would only recommend 2560 x 1440 for such a large screen but IPS and LED technology has come a long way. I bought this monitor because I needed something for the holidays while visiting relatives and it looked like this might be a good deal since I was pleased with my past dell ultrasharps, but let me tell you, this is a great deal. keep in mind, the monitor is cheap because it makes sacrfices, there are no speakers, there is only 1 hdmi input. I have this monitor paired with Insignia NS-HBTSS116 Powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers and a polk subwoofer and it is great for a mini home cinema experience on your PC and gaming rig. best buy frequently lists products on their ebay store like floor models or displays and you can get the NS-HBTSS116 for under 60$ and paired with this monitor gives you awesome sound with an amazing picture all for just over 200$? this is crazy value.

This computer monitor meets my expectations and so far no disappointments.

Great colors i am very satisfied with this monitor.

I was looking for a 27" monitor (at a GREAT PRICE) to use as a second monitor with my 27" All In One HP that I purchased from Best Buy on last week. I tried a couple of other monitors but neither was what I was looking for. I searched Best Buy online and found this Dell monitor at a much lower price than other retail store websites. I knew from the moment I took it out of the box, that it'd be a great match and it pairs up perfectly! The picture quality is good, and the design of the DELL monitor compliments my other monitor. My search is over, I couldn't be happier. I recommend this monitor.

Initially, I was looking for a 4K monitor for gaming however given the current prices for true IPS 4K monitors are all north of $1000 I needed to bring my expectations back down to Earth. I re-evaluated my needs and wants and decided a compromise was needed. This monitor was going to be used primarily for general use (web, document editing, some photo editing, and gaming of course). With the higher than 60Mhz refresh rate and decent response time (6ms) at the $160 price point (on sale at the time of purchase) it really was an easy decision. Now that I have had it for a few days I have to say I am not at all regretting the purchase. I loaded up Fallout 4 with everything maxed out on my HP Omen 17t (Nvidia 1070 equipped) and there is absolutely no issues with tearing/ghosting. Of course it's not 4K but at this screen size it's hard to imagine how much better it can get at this price. I highly recommend this monitor. You will not be disappointed.

I bought two of these monitors and they have a great price. They are nice and big. Wonderfull picture quality. Mine were pretty well calibrated from the start. Dell has never let me down when it comes to monitors.

I bought this monitor primarily as a backup display for my PS4 and as an occasional second screen for my laptop when working at home. For both of these purposes this is an excellent monitor for the price. (I bought it during Best Buy's holiday sale at a significant discount on the retail price.) The visuals are crisp and didn't require calibration out of the box. The IPS panel is bright enough in daylight unless in direct sunlight. I have it set up in front of a window and viewing is comfortable all day. The monitor doesn't support vertical/portrait orientation, but the stand allows for some tilt along the y-axis (no horizontal movement, unfortunately). Two gripes I have about it are: a) the single HDMI port (the other one is a DVI port), and b) no audio jack, in case anyone wants to plug in a headset or speakers. But these don't bother me all that much and I knew about the cons before buying the monitor. I would recommend this monitor to console gamers who don't require 4K or HDR. I haven't noticed any input lag but please bear in mind that I almost exclusively play third-person adventure and action-RPGs. For a general purpose monitor attached to a laptop, the 27-inch size provides a lot of screen real-estate, and should be perfect for most needs.

This is Dell’s entry level monitor, but for the price its offerings are quite amazing. You have a 27” 1080p IPS panel with a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and AMD Freesync. The monitor looks premium, with a sturdy stand and a glossy bezel. There are some cons, which include limited ports (1 HDMI and 1 VGA) and no built in speakers. Unfortunately, there is no audio output jack on this monitor you can use to grab audio from the HDMI in. Included in the box is everything you need to get up and running. An HDMI and power cord is included for cables. If you’re trying to connect using VGA, you’ll have to find that cable on your own. Thankfully, VGA is being phased out and you can pick them up for cheap. I am glad the Best Buy associate recommended the 27” Dell over an 24” with similar specs I was looking at. It was such a great deal on Black Friday that I bought another one as a gift for my mom. You can go into the settings in Windows 10 and increase the scale to make icons and font bigger. The physical size of the monitor is big enough to increase scaling in Windows and still have a lot of space left over on the screen. Some concern may be with the 1920x1080 resolution combined with the 27” screen but in my opinion, it is not a problem. Small text still looks sharp enough and is readable. Your local Best Buy may have one on display, so I recommend you check it out. A feature that gamers and casual users will both appreciate is the 75 Hz refresh rate. This makes using the display feel more “fluid.” It is something that is not described but seen in person. People say that once you go to a higher refresh rate you can’t go back. It may not seem like a big difference between 60 Hz, which is still the standard, but you can definitely tell the difference. To make sure you are running at 75 Hz, go into Settings > System > Display > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties for Display 1 > Monitor “tab” > Under Monitor Settings, select the Screen Refresh Rate dialog box and click on 75 Hertz. The steps are the same if you have a different monitor. You can use this monitor for PC gaming but there are definitely better choices available. This monitor features a max refresh rate of 75 Hz with AMD Freesync and 1080p resolution. If your PC is powerful enough, I would definitely suggest getting a higher refresh rate monitor like 144 Hz, with 2k or even 4k resolution (again, if your PC is powerful enough). You can even use this for consoles, just make sure you have an solution for the audio problem. In conclusion, Dell is offering an excellent monitor at an affordable price.
