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

    • 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
    • I have a late 2014 MacBook Pro and it will only run it at 30hz so it lags a little bit and video is choppy
    • The stand could be a little more sturdy as the monitor shakes a bit on my desk (might be my desk, but the iMac is super steady; 1-star removed).
    • Also if your computer is a bit older, it may struggle a bit with 4k.
    • There's a little bit of "IPS glow" but nothing distracting at normal viewing distances
    • The Monitor does shake a bit when you are typing on the desk
    • But iMac screens always looks a bit fuzzy to me for some reason--but they try to make up for it by being so bright and
    • A bit hassle, but not too bad
    • This is just a great bit of hardware for any use
    • A bit pricey but the quality blew me away
    • $330 for 7 months a bit pricey.
    • A bit hassle, but not too bad
    • The tilt is a bit more stiff but not too bad.
    • The response time in Dell monitors generally are always higher (8ms +) and input lag is probably a bit higher than normal anyway.
    • It does shake a bit if the table is bumped, and the build feels a little bit plasticky compared to Apple's rock solid, super heavy external Thunderbolt displays and 27" iMac 5K, but it doesn't feel too cheap
    • The text is also big enough that I can actually lean back now to view my monitor, where before I had to lean forward to use my old monitor, (which defaulted to a smaller 2560 x 1440 resolution).I also noticed scaled to full resolution (3840 x 2160 at 60hz refresh rate using DisplayPort), the MacBook starts to struggle a bit, so even though it technically supports that size, you will likely need a MacBook released in 2016/2017 to ensure it has enough power to smoothly drive 4K at its full resolution (though I doubt most people do so since the text and other elements are really small then).There also appears to be a slight shadow along the bottom edges (it may be more pronounced if you look at the monitor at a downward angle), which I read is normal for IPS monitors (it's even worse for monitors larger than 40 inches evidently), so I don't consider this a defect
    • Video connections: The important bit
    • But the plus side of that is I am super happy with this new monitor that sold me on its advertised image quality and did not disappoint me one bit
    • If it's at 30 the mouse can look like it's kind of glitchy or lagging behind a little bit
    • A little bit of time with an i1 made it much better, though it would barely be noticeable to the trained eye
    • Even at 100 brightness it doesn't wash out the brightest parts of the image being displayed on the screen, it simply turns the backlight up.$500 is a lot of money for a monitor, but I can say that I don't regret it one bit.
    • I was a bit wary about buying a 24-inch screen after using Retina display devices, however
    • Sometimes audio will skip or glitch a bit
    • The input selection, while effective, is a bit fiddly.
    • and I'm not bothered by it one bit
    • Excuse me, I bought this from B&H (sorry amazon), from NYC, Dell, USA
    • Text looks almost as good as e-ink on a Kindle
