About this deal

As we mentioned the OSD menu gives you a choice from “Standard”, “Multimedia”, “Movie”, “Game”, “Paper”, “Color Temperature”, “sRGB” and “Custom Color”. Additionally, it features a good amount of I/O for its class, comfortable viewing angles, good maximum brightness, and decent contrast ratio. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin and your whole body.

It feels like one wrong move and the panel is going to pop out of the thin InfinityEdge bezel; I doubt it will, but it feels that way. And it is not just marketing – the U2717D features a 60Hz 1440p panel with extremely thin bezels all around the display.It's not the most feature-packed monitor you can get for the money, but the Dell UltraSharp 27 (U2717D) is a fine general-purpose display. Well, it supplies higher voltage to the crystals (in LCD monitors), which makes them switch their position faster. I’ve been working with computers for ages, starting with a multi-year stint in purchasing for a major IBM reseller in New York City before eventually landing at PCMag (back when it was still in print as PC Magazine). The Dell UltraSharp U2717D is essentially a bigger version of the UltraSharp 24 U2417D, but it offers a higher Quad HD resolution with slightly better pixel density, and I find that both make a noticeable improvement.

Depending on the version of the operating system you're running, you might need to download a driver to enable the hub as well. Now, let’s take the UltraSharp U2717D out of the box, assemble it and check how accurate are those colors, shall we? While not designed for gaming, the U2717D's 5-millisecond pixel response did an admirable job of handing fast action in my Crysis 3 (PC) and Grand Theft Auto V ( Sony PlayStation 4 ) tests, but there was minimal screen tearing in the Crysis 3 tests.

The list of pros continues with adequate default settings and comfortable backlight in terms of PWM. I am needing to know what mounting adapter or bracket I need to use an old dual monitor stand that has a bracket with holes centered at 2-31/32", up down and side to side to mount my U2717D monitors to? The U2717D comes with a three-year warranty on parts, labor, and backlight and is eligible for Dell's Advanced Exchange program, which guarantees that a replacement unit will be sent out (if necessary) within one business day. As shown on the chromaticity chart below, red, green, and blue colors (represented by the colored dots) are all very closely aligned with their ideal CIE coordinates (represented by the boxes). That said, our Editors' Choice for big-screen, midrange monitors, BenQ's SW2700PT SEE IT, delivers equally impressive performance and is packed with more features, including advanced color controls, hardware-calibration capabilities, and an SD card reader.

So if you have Dell P2719H and Dell U2717D side by side in your Web page listing, you can’t really tell why the latter is 50-100 bucks more expensive than the former. We measured a maximum brightness of 355 nits in the middle of the screen and 332 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 8%. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

On the horizontal axis, you will find the grayscale and on the vertical axis – the luminance of the display. If you can afford it, I do recommend choosing the 27-inch over the 24-inch UltraSharp, especially if it's going to be your only monitor. A 37-millisecond input lag (the time it takes for the monitor to react to a controller command), which I measured using a Leo Bodnar Video Signal Lag Tester , is at the high end of acceptable lag; our fastest monitors, the BenQ XL2430T and the SW2700PT, measured 9. Then with just handling the stand, force the mount DOWN into the stand and listen for the spring compressing.

At the rear of the U2717D's cabinet, facing downward, are two DisplayPort inputs (one full size and one mini), a DisplayPort output for daisy-chaining multiple monitors, an HDMI input, an upstream USB 3. Whether you're looking for a 27-inch monitor to use in a side-by-side, multi-display configuration or simply prefer the bezel-free look, the Dell UltraSharp 27 InfinityEdge Monitor U2717D will not disappoint. Ultimately, the color accuracy is fine (as advertised by Dell), but when you apply our Gaming and Web design profile, you are getting into a very accurate habitat, matching the colors found on the Internet almost perfectly. Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for the Dell UltraSharp U2717D.Below you can compare the scores of Dell UltraSharp U2717D with the default settings (left), and with the “Gaming and Web design” profile (right). You don't get the advanced 6-Axis-Hue and -Saturation color controls that you get with the BenQ SW2700PT and the Acer Predator XB271HU , and there are no Blue Light settings on this model.
