Best, Most Reliable Monitor... You Won't be Disappointed!
By Aitawi on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2025
I don't think I have ever written a review on amazon, but this deserves one. I bought this in 2018, and I am working on it right now (2025). 7 years of moving to different houses and apartments, of lugging it back and forth in my car stuffed with other crap. This thing is invincible, and infinitely customizable. no dead pixels, no problems, ever. best money I have ever spent. 10/10 would buy again (and will if somehow I ever manage to make this thing fail). Could it be brighter? yes. Could it have better off axis viewing? yes. Could it have a higher pixel density? yes. But for what it is and for what it claims, this is the best monitor (and hence pretty much only although I have used others) monitor for both games and productivity that I have owned. Buy one, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Enter "Power Save Mode" issue is NOT the Deep Sleep issue *** Do Not Buy!!! Stay away!!***
By Quantum Pig on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016
Do not mistake the issue of the Deep Sleep Mode with this monitor having a very serious problem with the DisplayPort connection. I've had this thing since April 2016, and the DisplayPort issue was frequent, but not to the point where I wanted to bother returning the monitor. I was hoping, naively, for an update or patch or fix. It never came. And recently, the issue has just gotten worse. EVERY SINGLE TIME I turned on my computer, the monitor would enter its "Power Save Mode" and remain blank. The only fix --> cold resets of my computer, several times, until the monitor finally decided it had a signal and would turn on along with the computer at boot. Again, this is not the "Deep Sleep Mode" issue. I've disabled deep sleep mode, and made sure to power off the monitor, unplug all cables, wait 30 seconds for good measure, plug it all back in, turn computer on and verified that Deep Sleep Mode was turned off. Again, Deep Sleep Mode, is not the same thing as the monitoring entering "Power Save Mode" at boot up and not coming on at all. Now, what is the fix? Apparently Dell thinks the fix (per their troubleshooting guide specifically on the "Power Save Mode" issue) is to reset your computer and power cycle it until the monitor comes back on. THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION! And cold resets on your computer will eventually damage it. Is Dell going to foot the bill when you ruin a hard drive? Ruin other sensitive electronics from a cold reset? When your motherboard gets fried? Dell's troubleshooting guide also attempts to say that the blame is likely your video card. I'm using an Nvidia 970 from EVGA, that has worked just fine with the prior monitor I had (BenQ, 1080P gaming monitor, using DisplayPort - This Dell was supposed to be the upgrade to 1440p). But just to test this out, I asked my neighbor (that told me to buy the Asus Rog 1440p) to let me plug his monitor in to my rig. Worked like a charm. Dear Dell, the issue is your monitor, and you know it. And you don't care. Please, please stay away from this monitor and purchase one that gives you the same gaming specs but actually works. Not worth the headache. Not worth the risk to your computer. Spend an extra $100 and get yourself an Asus ROG or the Acer when it goes on sale.
