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

    • Text is crisp and websites are fantastic to browse
    • With this monitor, the text is SO sharp
    • However, the text is beautiful, just crisp and complete absence of fading or dithered or jigs/jags ... just awesome.
    • Text is crisp and pleasant to read
    • Text is super clean and sharp, and the number of custom settings and physical adjustments makes this one of the most flexible/customizable displays I've ever owned
    • The text appears very smooth
    • 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
    • and so I was worried that at such a high resolution I would have trouble reading text that was too small
    • I was able to use 3840x2160 at 52Hz, but then this is unstable, not too mention text too small
    • It has beautiful colors and crisp text.
    • Text is smooth even at very small sizes
    • Text is crisp and highly legible at all font sizes.
    • I run it in 2k mode (as I planned) because in 4k mode everything is too tiny of course, but in 2k mode I get extremely sharp text, almost as sharp as on an Apple retina display
    • Bioshock, for example, when run in 4K, would not upscale the text, so everything was very tiny
    • Text is crisp, and colors are deep
    • The lower screen real estate makes for a very nice DPI for butter smooth text.
    • Text looks beautiful and crisp
    • But on this P2415Q, text is razor sharp and the anti-glare coating looks very light to me compared to the U2713HM
    • Large color images, and videos look great but honestly text is a disappointment
    • Text is crisp with a caveat (discussed in next paragraph)
    • Matte screen, crisp text, easy plug-and-play usage
    • The text is extremely crisp, clear and readable, even at 3840x2160
    • And none of them had a perfect crisp text like this monitor has
    • Amazing text clarity and colors.
    • Amazing text clarity and colors.
    • I guess there's a part of me thinking that I'll probably own the monitor for far longer than the laptop, so I might as well get the best display I can, knowing that my next computer would be able to fully utilize the 4K.Anyway, the problem was that immediately after I plugged it it, the text looked blurry
    • Text is quite clear at 1080p up-scaling and (retina mode)
    • Matte screen, crisp text, easy plug-and-play usage
    • The text on the monitor looks soft in programs
    • Text looks bad, I tried many things
    • Text is like, maybe even better than, print on paper
    • Text is a little fuzzy
    • It's better in some ways (crisper text) and almost unusable in others (tiny ui elements).The uniformity cooler/warmer areas bugs me
    • Oh, while I think about it, one of the things that people should know about 4K monitors, everything's really small, text is very hard to read and I find that I have to set the monitor to a setting lower than
    • Better text for reading volumes of documentation for work2
    • This extra sharpness relieves eyestrain when working with a lot of fine text
    • Text and images are crisp
    • Setting my display preferences to use the one the system sees as the best fit, I'm getting stunningly clear text and graphics, it's just beautiful, and the size is perfect.
    • Great color and text is very sharp, highly recommended.
    • Especially when browsing the web, where everything is on white background; quite often the small text in gray color is difficult to read, so you have to increase scaling in Windows 10 or in browser, which makes high resolution less useful
    • I have an older U2713HM running at 1440p with 125% scaling and even then text looks fuzzy
    • Text on the monitor looks crystal clear.
    • Text is very clear, contrasty, and bright
    • The text on my MBP is so crisp, it's hard to view anything else in non-retina resolution.
    • Graphics look stunning, high-res pics from my DSLR seem eye-popping, text is crisp (but there's a small catch; discussed later).Connectivity - 5 stars
    • However, the text is beautiful, just crisp and complete absence of fading or dithered or jigs/jags ... just awesome.
    • Text looks crisp and legible, the colors looks fantastic, and watching 4k content is breathtaking
    • I just took one away and replaced it with the P2715Q. And came away scratching my head because the monitor didnt look that big (compared to the other 24" sitting next to it) and the text didn't seem that much sharper
    • I don't think I'm done playing with all the menu and font sizes, but it works well without super tiny text or icons.
    • Great for work, bright, clear text, nice looking, I'd surely buy it again.
    • You'll notice many things are a little crisper (text especially) but it's not up to the full potential yet
    • The text is super sharp at 100% but of course is very
    • At 1080 resolution, text is crisp but iconography is too big; at 2160 resolution, text is also crisp but iconography is too small
    • Great crisp text, perfect letter sizing, vibrant colors
    • Normally I prefer the glossy (type you find on apple displays) look, just because old dell monitors looked like they were sandblasted (super grainy text!)
    • Most apps look quite good on this monitor, and text is really sharp.
    • According to me the text isn't quite as crisp as the actual
    • Any higher scaled resolution and my MacBook starts to breathe a little heavy and the text/UI is unreadable or too small
    • The text is crisp and quite readable
    • Normally I prefer the glossy (type you find on apple displays) look, just because old dell monitors looked like they were sandblasted (super grainy text!)
    • The text is crisp, photos are gorgeous and most apps scale perfectly
    • Those who use Windows 8.1 or less and prefer larger/scaled text and interface elements things may be painful as Windows (at least currently) does terrible job with scaling.
    • At this setting the text is so incredibly crisp and sharp that it rival that of MacBook’s retina display
    • and I just want robust build quality, sharp text, and nice colors
    • Very sharp text, Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable included
    • Text looks almost as good as e-ink on a Kindle
    • and it works flawlessly with both at 3840 x
