Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

I got one from my office and one myself. Great IPS monitor with 4K and lots of connectivity including USB for the price. It looks good to me. I use it with Windows 10 in multimedia mode. There was a problem with my geforce graphics card fighting with the newer nvidia K420 card making this look blurry. Took a while to figure out the problem was with the card. Got two of the k420's over display port and this is awesome. Reduced blurriness and high PPI is extremely easy on my eyes during a full day of work. I use it with 150% scaling - I do not regret this purchase. I had a LG 2560 X 1080 which was also good without scaling the problem with that was that this will last me longer without need for replacement and that was widescreen and not really ideal for a programmer. Update: Got a second one for home. Did not expect it to give 3k with my mid 2011 mac mini. AMAZING I AM GETTING FULL 3K 30Hz ON MY MAC MINI!! WOW!! AMAZING RETINA DISPLAY!!!! 30Hz has some lag but still works pretty great... Also my Office Lenovo Thinkpad T450s gives me full 3K at 59Hz on this. 60hz can be set but 59Hz is less choppy. All in all a great monitor! Update: If you are not happy with this monitor - it is your video card. The minimum video card to drive two of these is: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card 04G-P4-3967-KR. So 2 GB per monitor. Do not use $99 Quadro with 1GB for this monitor. Big difference in clarity and it hangs and stutters with the Quadro.

I'm not normally one of those people that writes reviews but I felt like I had to with this monitor after doing tons of research before purchasing it. Before I do that though: Yes, this is a wonderful, beautiful, delightful monitor. This has a non-glossy display and easy to access buttons. Now with that out of the way ... Issues and Explanations 1. You're going to hear on a lot of different websites and from reviewers that the monitor has issues waking up which will require you to restart the monitor, wait an inordinate amount of time, try different ports etc. However, what I can tell you is that there are multiple versions of this same monitor from Rev A00 and up to Rev A03. You can find out which you have by checking the back of the monitor. The earlier the version you have, the more likely you're going to have issues. The one that I have is A03. I don't have these issues with this monitor. 2. You're going to have to understand that when you buy a 4K monitor the resolution is different. So what that means in reality (especially if you have Windows 10, et. al.) is that you're going to need to adjust the scaling for your display. That means you're going to have to make the text bigger and the icons bigger so you can see what is happening on your screen without squinting. This works better on the MAC but on Windows you're really going to have to do some tweaking. (That is to say everything is really small.) The process for doing this is a little bit different for every version of windows and operating system. So if you hook this up and everything is really small do not panic. Pull out your phone and figure out how to scale the text and icons so that they are suitable for you to view. 3. Special note for GTX 970 people (since a lot of people are buying those and 980 for VR): I just bought a bunch of parts and built a computer. Gigabyte G7 z170 motherboard, Intel 6700K processor and so on. I also got an nvidia GTX 970 100 Million edition and it has issues (and it's not just the 970 edition that I have that has these issues) through HDMI. (Weird snow, black bars etc., black screen, grey screen etc.) The HDMI port on it does not like any monitor I plug this thing into. Apparently if you go over to the nvidia forums you'll find people with "HDMI glitches." How does that relate to this monitor? If you went out and got a 970 card and are having issues through HDMI try Display Port. If you're okay with 1080p (then buy another monitor and save some money but ....) this monitor will work with that card and DVI to HDMI. Of course, it won't work as intended. 4. Last but not least if you find your mouse is acting strangely when your monitor is at 4K then you should probably check and make sure that your drivers are installed correctly or more accurately that your monitor is at 60 hertz instead of 30. If it's at 30 the mouse can look like it's kind of glitchy or lagging behind a little bit. If this happens reinstall the nVidia driver, switch from HDMI to Display Port and check and make sure your monitor is operating at the 60 hertz capacity. 5. This is not a Dell Ultrasharp monitor. This is a Dell Ultra HD 4K monitor. Similar names but the Ultrasharp is the top of the line monitor with the ability to have nearly perfect color reproduction. That's not knocking the color on this one. It's great. Just be aware of that before you buy the monitor.

I just received this monitor today and have been using it for a couple hours. I usually wait before I write a review, but I thought it could be useful to others as my setup is a bit different than most. I'll edit it if something happens in the future. I'm using this monitor (P2415Q) as a secondary monitor on an iMac 5k (retina), both on OSX (El Capitan) and Windows 10 (in bootcamp). 24" is a bit of an overkill here, but I wanted HiDPI because there is no way I can use a non-"retina-like" monitor next to the iMac's gorgeous screen, and for some reason, manufacturers are so attached to the 4K label that they won't make smaller ones with very high PPI. Anyway. I chose this one for several reasons. The main ones are : - Ultra HD, same quality as a retina screen. - IPS panel - SST (Single Stream Transport), which means the monitor is seen as a single normal monitor, not as two side-by-side ones, which is a common trick used by many 4K monitors to bypass physical limitations. Less important but nice to have : - It's a Dell. You may think what you want about Dell, but they're actually very good at monitors. - Semi-matte screen. Yay ! - USB ports galore. While it will take up one USB port on your iMac, you get an additional 3 USB 3.0 ports for your trouble. - All the cables you need are included. - It supports portrait mode. While that can be awkward on a 24" 16:9 monitor, it's also useful from time to time. First impressions - It looks nice enough. The bezels are ok. The overall finition is very good, and it feels sturdy and well made. - I'm using it on a VESA stand, so I didn't take a very good look at the stand, but again, it's sturdy, and looks like most Dell stands. I like having the option, and knowing that if I ever need it, it's fully adjustable (height, tilt and pivot). - The VESA mount : the screws are included. Thank you, Dell. Mounted and connected in 5 minutes, tops. - It's light enough that it won't pull my stand's arm down and it's easy to adjust and move around. Detection The monitor was automatically detected when I plugged it in - I didn't even restart the iMac. It's recognized as P2415Q, resolution is the right one right away, refresh rate is 60Hz, and, well, you plug it in and it just works. Awesome. One thing I was really surprised by : it works just the same in Windows 10 in Bootcamp. I was a bit worried about that, but I just booted into Windows, and the monitor was working, automatically set at the max resolution and 60Hz. I didn't have anything to do there either. Portrait mode also "just works" in both OS. All in all, I was expecting a bit of work, but it was all set and done as soon as I plugged the monitor in the iMac. Image and text quality As I'm now very much used to Retina, I didn't get the "wow" factor a lot of you have. But it's as good as you'd expect. The text is extremely crisp, clear and readable, even at 3840x2160. The only thing is, it's not very bright and I will have to play a bit with the settings. Side by side with the iMac, the whites are much less white by default, and it's clearly not as bright, even with the setting at 100% (probably a side effect of the semi-matte coating). But the definition is excellent. Note that I mostly work with text, so I can't and won't comment on photos and colors - not my domain. Conclusion : if you want a HiDPI monitor but can't afford, or don't have room for a 27" - go for it without hesitation. If you can get a 27" then please do : 3860x2160 on 24" will give you very small texts and icons. Although it's very readable, most people will have to play with scaling settings. If you do, be aware that a lot of apps, especially on Windows, don't manage that very well just yet. Windows itself does, but a fair number of apps look bad with scaling. No problems on Mac, since Retina has been there for 3 years and Apple pushed everybody to adjust their software.

Update 9/14/2016: I had to return this monitor even though I really loved it because my MBP 2011 just could not drive 4k at full res @ 60hz - I could only do 4k at 30hz max. Believe me, if you can't drive 4k at 60hz, don't bother with 4k. 30hz is just terrible to work with. I would have kept it if I could afford another computer that can do 4k. I was to return it because I really enjoyed the quality of the display even at 30hz - it was so crisp and clean, with absolutely no eye strain at all. When I have a new computer, I'll definitely repurchase this monitor. As such, I had to go with the Dell 2417H @ 1080p. :( But if you have a computer that can drive 4k, do yourself a favor and get this monitor, especially if you have to do a lot of online reading or coding that requires you to stare at a monitor all day. I would shop around though because I noticed that the price has gone up from north of $400. ---Original review---- I do a lot of research so reading online is a must for me. I recently bought this monitor in 27 inch size and have been using it as a secondary monitor from my early 2011 Macbook Pro (4k won't work for me if I mirror it because my MBP is too old). PROs: - Once you get the full 4k resolution, the image is exceptionally clear and crisp. Texts are clear and sharp, easy to read, easy on my eyes. I had an ASUS MX279h and that monitor, while also a great monitor, was giving me too much eye strain and was just too bright in general, no matter what I did. Granted, it was a 1080p. Still, I have a 1080p older Dell model at work and I have to say, when it comes to text display, Dell just wins, hands down. I found that with the Asus, I kept having to look away from the screen because it was really hurting my vision. - The factory setting right out of the box by Dell is perfect, as always in true fashion of a Dell. I've never even had to mess around much except to change the MST to "secondary" to get the 4k display. I suspect that I might only need to adjust the display up or down, if needs be. - I like the stand, the way it snaps into the back of the panel. For some reasons, it just seems more secure to me. - The menu buttons are neatly laid out and positioned on the side, unlike that touch-sensitive hot mess on the Asus or others like it. I really hate touch-sensitive fake buttons. You either are a pressable button or you're not, OK? CONs: - Dell always looks like a typical business dad when it comes to external construction of the panel - boring, boxy looking but it works. So definitely, function over form in this case, which I don't mind. I'd rather have a thing that works and looks boring than to have something edgy and cool but fails to perform and just sucks the fun out of everything! (I'm looking at you, Asus MX279h!) - Connections should be on the side instead of under the panel. I see the point of the design, but it still makes it a little bit of a challenge trying to connect cables into the monitor. Overall, a fantastic monitor! I have to say, I don't think I can go back to reading text on a 1080p after this. I don't have a PC that can drive 4k in terms of gaming so I can't comment on that aspect. However, I doubt that if you're a serious gamer and looking for 4k, you would get this anyway. The response time in Dell monitors generally are always higher (8ms +) and input lag is probably a bit higher than normal anyway. But what I can comment on is that if you're a programmer or someone who has to read or do a lot of office work on the monitor a lot, this is for you. I've had this for a few days now and so far, no problem yet. If there are problems, I will update. And just to emphasize, since I've been using this, I never once have to look away from the monitor for my eyes to rest or to adjust because the monitor is too bright or anything of that nature. Comfort is the first and foremost important aspect in considering a monitor, for me at least, because I need to be able to comfortably look at it for long periods of time before deciding on any other factors such as response time, input lag, blah blah blah. If you can't comfortably look at your monitor, who cares if it has negative input lag and response time or whatever it is that you're looking for in a monitor! One last tidbit, if you have a old Macbook Pro like I do, I think you should invest in upgrading to an solid state drive (SSD) and to at least 8 GB of RAM. It will make your machine run like the day you got it and will make your life so much easier. It's worth it. There are tons of instructions on Youtube - I used sakitech because he used very clear and precise instructions.

I purchased this monitor on June 9, 2015 to go with my new Macbook Pro 13" retina laptop. It worked perfectly for about two months and then problems began. I started noticing horizontal lines (almost like interference) on the monitor which became progressively worse over a minute or two until the monitor went blank (black screen). Turning the monitor off for a short while restored monitor function until the same thing happened a few minutes later. Then I began a month-long ordeal with Dell Support. Initially I was told the problem was my computer. I contacted Apple support who took me through a series of tests which all indicated my computer was in good working order. I bought and tried a new DP to MDP (thunderbolt) cable - same problems. I read internet blogs about this and tried some of the solutions suggested to no avail. Dell then tried to have me download new drivers for the monitor from their website, except there were no new drivers for the mac OS. The Dell support people with whom I spoke seemed to be very nice people who didn't really have any idea how to deal with this problem. After much discussion and several hours on the phone, Dell finally agreed to send me a replacement monitor. Then a few days later I receive an email asking me for a receipt. Since I had ordered on-line, I didn't really have a receipt. I had send them the serial number of the monitor more than once. I sent Dell evidence from my Amazon.com account that I had ordered and received the monitor. I get no response from Dell. After sending one or two more emails, I get an email from Dell asking if I have sent in a receipt yet. Still no conclusion to this case, but I can see where it's going. Bottom line in this case - I am extremely frustrated. The monitor was a great monitor for as long as it worked. Dell support is disorganized, not at all user friendly, and difficult to work with. I would have expected a company the size of Dell to honor their warranties on products like this monitor. Instead I get the sense that no one has any idea what's going on or how to deal with warranty issues appropriately. This experience has unfortunately soured my opinion of Dell. I will certainly not be purchasing any more of their products, not because their products are inherently substandard or bad, but because they are such a pain to work with when something goes wrong with one of their products.

This thing is without a doubt one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life, with zero regrets. What I was looking for: - 4k monitor to complement my aging 24 Inch samsung 1920x1200 TN LCD display - Mac Retina scaling support - 60Hz refresh rate for gaming - IPS color accuracy/vibrancy and wide angle viewing - decent price - Good build quality It delivered on every front with only a few minor annoyances: - It's absolutely beautiful. Basically like having my retina macbook pro 15, except as a 24 inch screen. I drool every time I open a chrome browser or even my terminal app. I've always dreaded going back from my retina macbook to my desktop, but now I can enjoy the same resolution, except on a giant screen. - Works perfectly with OS X(Tested on Yosemite). Upon boot up, runs in scaled mode, so windows and objects appear at the size of 1920x1080 resolution, except everything is beautifully rendered at retina resolution. I purposely chose this P2415Q model rather than the 27 inch model because I wanted the pixel perfect match with my 24 inch 1920x1200 monitor. If I had gotten the 27 inch model, it would have had to run at 2550x1400 resolution to match the scaling of my current 24 inch monitor, and I really like having the perfect scaling of 3840x2160 -> 1920x1080, so exactly 4 pixels match to each 1 pixel of the smaller resolution, resulting in zero loss of sharpness - Verified 60Hz using the included display port cable plugged into my GTX 770 (running a hackintosh) - Runs DotA 2 beautifully at 4k resolution with 60+FPS with my GTX 770 - Really solid build quality. The bezel is plastic, but definitely an improvement over older dell models. The stand is a mix of apple-like aluminum and aluminum painted plastic. It's not apple quality, but it looks quite like it. Considering you don't touch and handle the stand all day, I think it looks quite good. - $443 for a 4k IPS display is an absolute steal, prices have dropped drastically over the past few months - Only nitpick is that there's an anti-gloss coating applied to the screen, which gives off a weird sheen when viewed off center. This sheen can make colors look a little greyish when the screen is viewed from above or the sides, and a picture professional would probably find this unacceptable. I barely notice it though. I would have preferred the semi-gloss coating that Apple uses, which doesn't grey out the colors. Would highly recommend.

This monitor was great. 4K looks amazing. I always feel Dell quality control is top notch. There were no dead pixels present, and very minimal IPS glow. Uniformity looked great out of the box, and after playing around a bit with the color settings, it looked perfect (in my eyes). For the price, nothing compares. I ran it on a single 980 GTX, and gameplay wasn't as bad as people hype it up to be. I know there are those who can't stand any stuttering or whatnot, but if you're mostly playing games that aren't heavily dependent on having perfect response times (i.e. FPS or fighting games, or if you're doing something like heavy competitive GTA V battling or whatever), you probably won't mind. I tested a few games (Arkham Knight, GTA V, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Shadows of Mordor, Fallout 4, League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo III) on mixed settings between High to Ultra, and they all ran acceptable to me. Especially when you play a game to soak in the beauty of the scene, it's excellent. There were 2 things I had a grip with. One had nothing to do with the monitor itself, but more to do with the problems remaining with 4K. The scaling isn't perfect, and some games don't scale well. Bioshock, for example, when run in 4K, would not upscale the text, so everything was very tiny. And in League of Legends, the Windows 10 scaling feature would cause all the text in the game to be overly enlarged, to the point that some numbers would overlap each other. The other problem was the DisplayPort issue where, when the monitor went in standby, it would reset the desktop resolution to 640x480, which would screw up my icon placement, window sizing, as well as shift all my programs from my secondary monitor back onto the main monitor. Also, turning it off would result in my secondary monitor becoming primary. I could not figure out how to fix this, as the registry modification tip didn't work on this one (it worked on my LG 34UM95). With all that said, I decided to return the monitor. I'm sorry I didn't take any photos of the screen in action before I boxed it up. I know i gave it 5 stars, but the decision to return had nothing to do with the monitor itself. I just found myself to be more preferential to a higher clocked monitor (144hz+, gsync) at this point right now, so I decided to go with the XB271HU that was released last month. Though I wouldn't have replaced it for any other monitor if I didn't have the extra $300 the XB271HU cost. 4K was beautiful, and I still prefer its appearance over the XB271HU's 1440p. Maybe I'll go back to 4K once scaling is done right and they start making faster response panels (and after I buy another card or two to run it, haha). TL;DR Great monitor, no issues with the panel. Ran acceptable for those who have never used a faster response monitor (TN, 144hz, gsync, etc). Enhanced gameplay experience (beautiful). Had DisplayPort power issues, not a huge gripe. 4K scaling issues still present on some games. Decided to return for the Acer XB271HU, which cost $300 more, because I prefer 144hz (165hz OC) and gsync at this time. If my budget was firm around $500, I would have definitely kept this one.

For a long, long time I have been using a dual screen setup for my main computer. Dual displays increased my productivity years ago, but having one monitor that fits more than one window makes me an even faster worker. My plan was to use this monitor as my main monitor, and use my existing 1080p monitor as a secondary display, but since plugging this display in and setting it up (very fast and easy to do, I'll talk about that later) I find that I don't even use the second monitor since I can fit two or three windows next to each other. Having everything on one monitor is even nicer than having dual monitors, you don't have to turn your head to look at the second monitor, your head can stay stationary. If that doesn't sound like a big deal, trust me, it is life changing if you've used dual monitors a lot. Setting the display up was super easy. I use an adjustable VESA mount for this monitor (Can't recommend them enough), and it screws in to the monitor super easily, then all I had to do was plug in the power, and the video cable. The monitor comes with a power cable (just a standard 3 prong power cable) a display port to mini display port cable, and a USB 3 Uplink cable to connect the USB hub in the monitor to your computer. I don't use the USB 3 hub but I did test it and it does work. Although I did not test the included stand thoroughly, it did feel nice and well built when I took it out of the box. If you are buying a monitor this expensive, though, I really can't stress how worth the $40 it is to get an adjustable VESA mount. I connect the monitor to my 2014 15" MacBook Pro Retina. It has the discrete graphics card in it, and it has no problem driving the display plus an extra 1080p monitor. I didn't have to adjust any settings on the monitor. Some people in reviews and in other places online have said that you have to turn off the multi stream display setting off on the monitor to use a 15" MBPr, but I found that on my unit it was off by default. I have so far found no physical defects with this display. Some reviewers have posted about yellow tinting and uneven backlighting, I have experienced neither with my unit. Believe me, I was so scared that my display was going to come and have a defect, but it doesn't, and I'm thrilled. The box is really my only complaint. I keep boxes for my really expensive fragile stuff, so that when I move, I can move it easily. I have a "spare" 1080p monitor that has a fantastic box, and I take that monitor all over the place (I work from home, but sometimes have to spend a week on site somewhere working through a project, and I also move apartments every year) using the box as a carrying case. The box that the P2715Q comes in is enough to protect it during shipping, but I don't honestly think that I could use it to transport the monitor around. Stil, my "box requirement" is a fringe case and very strange on my part, so I can't warrant detracting a star.

Ho acquistato il Dell P2415Q-C nel mese di marzo ed ho aspettato per scrivere questa breve recensione. Lo uso in accoppiata con un Macbook Pro Retina mid-2012, principalmente per lavori di grafica e fotoritocco e si comporta davvero bene! Nessun problema nel collegamento tramite Display Port, anche perché il cavo è incluso nella confezione. L'hub usb 3.0 funziona ottimamente e tengo costantemente collegato un hd della western digital, un telefono sotto carica, una tavoletta grafica. I colori sono molto fedeli anche se giustamente differenti da quelli del monitor retina del mio Mac. Nonostante la risoluzione massima in 4K sia pienamente supportata, lo uso alla risoluzione consigliata di 1080 HiDPI che mi consente un'elevata densità di pixel e un'ottima leggibilità. Si tratta di un monitor semiproprofessionale ma nonostante questo non si notano eccessivi rallentamenti con framerate elevati, riesco quindi a guardare senza problemi video in 4K tramite youtube e Netflix. Grazie alla porta HDMI, di tanto in tanto mi concedo qualche ora di gioco tramite PlayStation, anche in questo caso nessun problema! Sono pienamente soddisfatto e consiglio l'acquisto.

Pros Price is good Screen is wide enough Blacks and whites are also good Cons Just the brightness sometimes can be painful to eyes

Aucun problème constaté après 10 mois d'utilisation, la différence de couleur et de résolution avec mon second écran fullHD moyen de gamme a coté est sans appel. Les dernières versions ne semblent plus souffrir de problème avec la sortie de veille. Le pied est robuste et pratique. J'ajoute une chose, que je viens de découvrir, après mes 10 mois d'utilisation. L'écran est affiché comme non compatible HDMI 2.0 et donc non compatible HDCP 2.2 et 4K@60fps, c'étais vrai. Depuis la version A03 (Février 2016 selon dell) Il est possible d'activer le support de l'HDMI 2.0 et donc du HDCP 2.2 par la même occasion (nécessaire pour profiter de netflix en 4K par exemple). J'ai la version A04 et après avoir testé cela fonctionne ! Miracle, je m'étais résigné pourtant. En bref une bonne surprise qui ne peux qu'ajouter un gros point fort a cet écran. (La manipulation a effectuer est disponible sur le site de dell, on tombe dessus en cherchant "Setting up P2415Q & P2715Q Monitors with HDMI 2.0 support 4K x 2K 60Hz"

I bought this monitor for use on my hackintosh. Plugged it in with the attached cable to my gtx 980 ti and it worked instantly. 4K at 60hz. I literally have no second thoughts about this product I'm super happy with it. Once you make the switch to 4K 1080p looks terrible! It's actually crazy, I used to think 1080p was so beautiful and crisp, now I laugh at it hehe. One complain after a few months of use: I wish that they had included an ambient light sensor so that the monitor would adjust its brightness to the brightness of the room but ah well.

Realmente es un buen monitor, y después de un uso rudo (movemos el equipo constantemente) no ha presentado fallas. Es una pena que nuestro equipo de cómputo no rinda para los 4K que ofrece el monitor y debamos trabajar a 2K, pero aún así, para quienes usan programas de diseño, te vas a maravillar de poder ver mas ventanas al mismo tiempo.
