UPDATE - Great budget monitor - if you know how to adjust settings in menu . . .
UPDATE - Flickering issue. My excitement with this otherwise high quality monitor was premature. A very subtle flickering is going on. At first it seems perfect. But as you work and stare and glance down at your keyboard, you realize there is a subtle flickering going on - at all times. I tried switching out cables (both DP and HDMI) - no difference. Same flicker. Then I connected to a different computer - still flickering! So it's definitely the monitor - not the cables and not the computer. I'm returning it - which is a shame because I otherwise like this monitor and need a good 27" one - just without flicker! (Left it at 5 stars because I'm giving Dell the benefit of the doubt. I'm assuming I just got a dud. We'll see when I reorder . . . . ) This is a great everyday monitor - but the screen settings it ships with are very bland. When you first plug it in and connect it up, you'll get a mediocre image. Go into the screen settings using the little buttons hidden on the underside of the front right edge of the monitor. Play around with the different choices and adjust brightness, contrast, RGB, mode, etc. until you get the bright crisp image you want. That's what I did and I'm very happy with the results. Plus the stand is great. It raises, lowers, tilts and swivels. Connections are good too - offering both HDMI and DP ports. All this for $170 is a darn good deal. Just be sure to adjust the image in settings after you set it up. Read more
