"it's false advertising and rather discusting to state such things and it is the description for 27f model with no mistake"

"only disadvantage i've found is that the buttons are a bit awkward to use as you can't see them behind the monitor when looking straight at it and so may not know which one you're pressing but it's a very minor issue and doesn't affect it much as most people like me will just use the bottom button to turn it on and off"

"secondly the light bleed along the top edge of the screen is horrendous especially when the you are working in windows dark mode games movies thirdly the box was delivered repackaged with messy sticky tapee around the openings to keep it secure somebody didnt even attempt to carry out this task with care' purchased a few months ago and i wasn't going to write this but the more i use it the more it annoys me"

"1080p in 27 inch screen looks a little bit blurry"

"but if money is not a concern just go on something more expensive and more qualitative because this screen is far from perfect"

"mine had two dead pixels in the lower left of the screen but most of the time i can't even find them when i look for them never mind in normal use"

"great viewing angles for landscape and portrait viewing not one dead pixel across all my 3 screens additional two bought from amazon sept 2015 "

"not worth the hassle of sending it back but a slight disappointment"

"particularly like the anti glare screen compared to my laptop the reduced strain on the eyes is huge"

"not worth the hassle of sending it back but a slight disappointment"

"wanderful colors and most notably is 16:10 which is a black swan in those days where the monitor market is plagued by those terrible cinema screens"

"purchased it on sale colour is good not great but at £220 what can you really gripe against"

"it's also usable in a vertical configuration if that works better for you"

"also because frequently this results in obtaining an even worse screen"

"i have to say i'm astounded by the visual quality of this monitor i can stare at it for hours without getting a headache as it does not produce any noticeable glare and there is no presence of ghosting"

"there is quite a few people report the same fault in many forums i have read but dell don't seem to have recognised or supplied a compatibility fix"

"i was extremely skeptical when i was recommended this monitor due to them being refurbs"

"apart from the insane amount of cardboard packaging that came with this monitor and the delivery guy kicking it through the doorway it is a pretty great monitor and arrived overnight"

"i also found the screen was very bright and had to turn the brightness down so i sold it at a small loss"

"the only slight drawbacks are the lack of an hdmi port and that it's so nice it makes the screen on my imac look old and tired"

"however: photo editors please take note: i used these for some time then got some complaints that all my pictures were coming out too blue"

"it might ok for simple graphics work videogames and movies but if your workflow is text heavy avoid"

"16:10 monitors are all too rare only negative about this beautiful display is the lack of 120hz"

"well worth the money if you insist on a proper resolution for a 24 inch monitor 1920x1024 just isn't suitable excellent build with some great features recommended if you don't mind paying a little more for the higher resolution instead of this hd standard nonsense"

"seems like this model has been a constant lottery for many of us some panels perfectly calibrated some with massive green shifts some like mine rev a01 have pwm flicker some don't flicker at all"

"single display but with the two monitors next to each other the colour difference is just too high to cope with"

"to control the brightness of this monitor dell uses a technology called pwm which is a cheap method to control the visible brightness or average light output in effect this means the backlight is working like a strobe light at full power levels directly into your eyes but you dont percieve that brightness because its only flashing briefly above 120hz usually so too fast for you to notice but some people can still feel the difference and it makes them temporarily ill"

"here is how: first things first: i don't take any responsibility if you void your warranty or damaged your device due to use misusing this info"

"the only slight quibble is it comes with vga and dvi leads but not displayport"

"it comes with two cables vga and dvi and while the lack of inbuilt sound may be a problem for some just get the dell ax510 and mount it at the bottom and plug it into the dc out on the back of the screen the bass isn't as good as my actual sound system but it's perfect for streaming videos or tv gaming or light music where you aren't really going to notice that low cut off "

"the poor thing has been dragged all around the house but it's still as good as new"

"you need to reset the screen resolution from the desktop for best results the generic drivers in xp sp3 are quite adequate and include the 1920 x 1200 that this monitor needs for 16:10 "

"i plan to return it and purchase another flexscan as they are far and away superior to this cheap dell monitor"

"i have 3 bought at different times and 1 of them is a bit different from the others: slightly grainy anti glare coating and very slightly different colours"

"i have no requirement for gaming and only occasional video tv also in a way i was reluctant to buy another dell screen as this was to replace an earlier different model just out of guarantee that still works but takes about 10minutes to stop flickering on start up"

"very low reflection no visible ghosting that i can make out and the colours and contrast are perfect"

"last week it died completely and wouldn't show any graphics"

"decent size good resolution small bezel takes standard kettle plug no need for a power brick has 4 powered usb 2"

"very minimal backlight bleed not noticeable unless viewing a pure black background and to be expected within this price range"

"is a cold white mine run on a lower brightness and are barely warm although at factory setting and higher did get much warmer"

"very minimal backlight bleed not noticeable unless viewing a pure black background and to be expected within this price range"

"*edit* shame it's a decent looking monitor it has put me off buying dell again i didn't want to take the chance of getting another dud so i bought two benq bl2411pt to go along with my eizo photo editing monitor which seem far superior to the dell i had bought both suffer from a little ips glow but nothing i can't deal with it's also worth noting the benq colour calibration was much better than the dell "

"only slight negative is a dead pixel towards the bottom left"

"nothing wrong with the monitor the amazon description is incorrect however as this does not have hdmi sockets"

"waste of time"

"chris m liaison desktops alienware monitors "

"the true measure is input lag for example:from the time you move your mouse to it moves on the screen is less than 16ms which according to some reviews you can find online are faster than a lot of 5ms tn screens"

"seems like this model has been a constant lottery for many of us some panels perfectly calibrated some with massive green shifts some like mine rev a01 have pwm flicker some don't flicker at all"

"acting as a usb port is a real bonus for clearing cable clutter though i haven't tried to see whether you can run audio from one of the 4 usb outs to remove another cable that need to run back to the pc"

"maybe if dell had better qc i'd be using two dell u2412's along with my eizo even my dog could have seen that this monitor had crazy light bleed i'm not just being a picky customer"

"plus it's 1920×1200 which in this age of the wide screen boom is very refreshing not just for games but also when i have to switch h to programming mode"

"so far after a months use the monitor is working okay apart from the display port issue though that could be the cable"

"never again!"

"is a cold white mine run on a lower brightness and are barely warm although at factory setting and higher did get much warmer"

"display was easy to set up and presets out of the box just needed minor tweaking"

"i really want a second one of these to replace the old monitor i'm using as a second monitor at the moment but the price hasn't come down mush since i bought mine 2 years ago"

"poor show dell"

"only down the bloody box"

"this only arrived today and it is sitting side by side to a 24" imac with the same resolution"

"as a gamer multimedia user with no interest in 3d at all i chose image and colour quality of the dell ultrasharp and do not regret it as you're only going to be getting much over 60fps with an expensive dual card setup if you like to crank settings to max and the colours quality of a tn is going to be *nowhere near* this"

"i really want a second one of these to replace the old monitor i'm using as a second monitor at the moment but the price hasn't come down mush since i bought mine 2 years ago"

"i spend way too much time on the computer ok i rely on it for income "

"the build quality of this dell monitor is fantastic but the screen suffers from insane light bleed the bottom right corner looks like someone is shining at torch at it!"

"hint: when unpacking make sure the side handles of the outer box are pulled out otherwise the top insert of inner packing is difficult to lift out"

"yes i could send it back but getting upset over such a tiny thing just isn't cricket"

"it's one less thing that can go wrong"

"i plan to return it and purchase another flexscan as they are far and away superior to this cheap dell monitor"

"replaced a 23in apple cinema display and the bleed glow are comparable"

"as a gamer multimedia user with no interest in 3d at all i chose image and colour quality of the dell ultrasharp and do not regret it as you're only going to be getting much over 60fps with an expensive dual card setup if you like to crank settings to max and the colours quality of a tn is going to be *nowhere near* this"

"this monitor might have been ok 4 years ago nowadays it's just sub par"

"so far after a months use the monitor is working okay apart from the display port issue though that could be the cable"

"i have no hesitations in recommending it"

"i have to say i'm astounded by the visual quality of this monitor i can stare at it for hours without getting a headache as it does not produce any noticeable glare and there is no presence of ghosting"

"i'm not really sure that there is any way of avoiding this issue apart from buying two of these monitors at the same time and crossing your fingers"

"only slight negative is a dead pixel towards the bottom left"

"the colours can vary from being quite red and cold through to quite white and warm"

"be warned that there are eveident backlight bleedings in almost each one of those guys just google it "

"the only slight quibble is it comes with vga and dvi leads but not displayport"

"there seems to be no permanent solution"

"downsides are that there are no speakers and there's no hdmi though for a pc monitor i don't see either as a big problem"

"can't really add more"

"despite my having a 20 minute documented on line chat precisely regarding this what do i get a great monitor at first look but with no support from dell"

"i had to turn down the brightness on them both but besides that they're brilliant for graphics programming photography post processing and gaming"

"well worth the money if you insist on a proper resolution for a 24 inch monitor 1920x1024 just isn't suitable excellent build with some great features recommended if you don't mind paying a little more for the higher resolution instead of this hd standard nonsense"

"downsides are that there are no speakers and there's no hdmi though for a pc monitor i don't see either as a big problem"

"this would probably not be a problem in most circumstances i"

"i don't do games so can't comment on that"

"my lenovo thinkcentre only has displayport and vga so i had to use vga for a while till i got a displayport lead"

"will be looking at something better for photo critical work may even be the dell 2413"

"i have always used apple monitors at home as i'm a total mac geek"

"*edit* shame it's a decent looking monitor it has put me off buying dell again i didn't want to take the chance of getting another dud so i bought two benq bl2411pt to go along with my eizo photo editing monitor which seem far superior to the dell i had bought both suffer from a little ips glow but nothing i can't deal with it's also worth noting the benq colour calibration was much better than the dell "

"ips panels are far better to use through the day and it is noticeably easier to spend long periods of time on the computer than with my previous one"

"i would thoroughly recommend this monitor even over the 'newer' dell u2414h since they dropped the resolution to 1080p but there's the dell u2415 now it costs only a little bit more and i expect that is just as good but comes in a slimmer design and fixes one of my main problems with the u2412m lack of hdmi"

"i bought this monitor to compliment my 1 year old u2412m but unfortunately it came with a warm tint to the panel which made it impossible to calibrate with my existing model"

"i can't notice anything but then i'm really not a fan of glossy screens"

"ridiculous levels of not just ips glow but also very severe backlight bleeding from three of four corners"

"it seems a great size one of the reasons i chose it was for the extra length compared to most ratios "

"very disappointed by the inconsistency here dell will be opting for an asus pro art next time"

"red a plethora of forums and it seemed like the problem basically existed and affected primarily laptop lcd screens for some time already"

"this isn't a problem with all dell monitors i suggest you buy the u2413 instead and keep the brightness above 20% unfortunately that monitor costs over £100 more"

"the usb hub is super convenient and i also got the dell ax510 soundbar since i wanted something compact i've reviewed that too so there's lots of opportunity for accessories"

"the format is entirely functional not just for widescreen movies "
