After the return window, the monitor went black. The monitor abruptly displayed a black screen on the display one evening. Even after restarting the computer and pressing the monitor's physical buttons, nothing appeared on the screen. When I contacted Dell Tech Support, they advised me to perform the standard unplug and re-plug procedure. No joy when I plugged in the cords and pressed the hold buttons. They're sending me a replacement right now, which I really appreciate. However, I will be inconvenienced because I will have to wait a few business days for it, and I require it for work. br>br>Creative+ paraphrase: Dell has not shipped the replacement after nearly two weeks and numerous phone calls and emails. This is the worst nightmare I've ever experienced.
I tried everything I could think of to get good-looking text on this monitor, but it didn't work. Nothing worked after editing scallng and making changes to macOS files in recovery mode to force RGB color. If you program and care about crisp text, I wouldn't buy it. It should be adequate for watching movies and other similar activities.
Backlight bleed was minimal, but I can't comment on gaming or movies because I used it mostly for Excel and browsing. My issue was that the monitor would blink (go black at random intervals) on and off. 2 minutes) at irregular intervals. This happened with the first monitor, so I asked for a replacement, and it happened again with the replacement! I tried HDMI and DP, as well as multiple cables and computers, but neither the original nor the replacement worked. I ended up returning everything and replacing it with a LG 4K monitor, which I love. It's a shame, because Dell used to be a fantastic monitor brand. My primary monitor is still a Dell 144hz 2k 27'' monitor, but it's a refurbished replacement after my first Dell monitor failed a few weeks after the warranty expired. I'm not going to buy Dell again anytime soon. While it lasted, it was enjoyable.
This monitor was purchased as a secondary display to complement my more expensive Asus 1440p IPS monitor (VG27AQL1A) for work/gaming, and it performed admirably for the first few days, with excellent colors, viewing angles, and brightness, and little to no backlight bleed. Then, one morning, when I turned on my computer, all I saw was a black screen. Even though the backlight was on, when I pressed the buttons, the on-screen menu did not appear. I tried three different display port cables, as well as HDMI, but nothing worked. Because my other monitor was working fine, I assumed it was the display port on my graphics card that had died, but that wasn't the case. Thankfully, Amazon has a generous return policy, but the monitor was on sale for $240 when I bought it, and it would now cost $300 if I wanted to buy it again. Even for the same monitor, I was unable to find a replacement. Regrettably, I'm back to using a single monitor and searching for a monitor with comparable or better specs that isn't too expensive.
I needed to maximize space with my personal machine at the same desk because I have a 15" MacBook Pro and 27" Thunderbolt display issued for work from my office. I bought a VESA wall mount. To use with my personal 13" M1 MacBook Pro (via USB), I bought a mount arm and this Dell 27" monitor. C dock). This setup has made me very happy. The resolution is ideal for text (which is what I use it for most of the time), and it pairs with my Mac automatically and seamlessly via a third-party dock (HDMI). I was even surprised to find speakers built into the monitor (albeit of poor sound quality - see below). However, they are functional) for using the HDMI signal for audio transfer. br>br>Ka-ching-ka-ching-ka-ching-ka-ching-ka-ching-ka-ching for- the- This monitor has a lot of bang for your buck. I'm very happy.
Take a look at my learning experience (as of December 30, 2021). This monitor has reached its maximum capacity. Everything is fantastic! br>br>However, I had not expected to be technical involved, and I had to go through some learning curves on troubleshooting strange problems that had arisen since purchasing my "first" 4K @ 60Hz monitor. 1. br>br> Cables from the past - Expect none of your old cables to function "properly" in 4K @ 60Hz. br>2. Cables that have been certified Regardless of whether you're looking for HDMI or DisplayPort cables and adapters, I discovered the hard way that these cable resellers who claim to be "Certified" guarantee vivid and beautiful colors and text clarity are deceiving you.

4. Users of Dell laptops, I can confirm that my Dell Precision 5540 (out of warranty) has a factory bug that prevents it from properly booting in any 4K resolution mode; instead, it simply powers down. 85% of the time, boot freezes or crashes, occasionally with corrupt external monitor image or blank screen, or flickering, regardless of direct connection to Laptop HDMI port or Thunderbolt 3 Docking The only docking station that worked for me was USB-C. This is unacceptable - C (no thunderbolt type docking station) I discovered on the Dell forum that many other Dell owners (including Inspiron models) have experienced the same pattern of display issues, and I can't afford to perform a factory reset at this time to see if this resolves the issue. 5. br>br> My Gigabyte Aero 15 gaming laptop works flawlessly with direct HDMI connection or Thunderbolt 3 docking where everything else on my Dell fails to connect to this 4K monitor.
