Dell U2718Q 27 Inch UltraSharp 4K LED-backlit, Anti-Glare, 3H Hard Coating IPS Monitor - (8 ms Response, 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, 1300:1 Contrast, with ComfortView, DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI and USB)

This monitor is excellent and represents good quality at it's price point.60hz 4k transforms my workday. I still use some older HD monitors and the difference between them and this is night and day. If I am away from my home monitor for a week or so and using HD monitors away from home then when I come back this blows my mind everytime. Hopefully one day soon we will have affordable 8k 240hz monitors (I can dream!) but for the time being, 4k 60hz is what everyone should be using!As an Architect I work with CAD and various DTP software which obviously benefits from 4k as I am able to fit more detail onto my screen and lineweights display closer to the way they would appear on a printed page. The reality is though that even basic tasks benefit from the additional resolution - being able to see more cells in Excel spreadsheets, having more email folders on screen in Outlook or even being able to see multiple pages of a Word document at once. This monitor really does improve productivity.The monitor has inputs for HDMI, USB-C and DisplayPort, so I am able to have 3 devices hooked up at once. The buttons for controlling the monitor settings are horrible to use, but thankfully the application 'Dell Display Manager' (which can be downloaded from Dell's website for free) allows you to programme keyboard shortcuts to toggle the monitors source input, meaning that you shouldn't need to use the monitor buttons very often.There is a USB hub (although not KVM switch which could have been useful). I have used the hub occasionally, however I found that my mouse was not running smoothly when connected through the monitor. This could be a problem with my laptop or the USB-C cable rather than the monitor.The USB-C cable which is supplied with the monitor is very short.As other reviewers have pointed out, the bezels of the monitor are not particularly well built and if you look closely (especially at the bottom bezel of my monitor) there are manufacturing discrepancies. This does not impact the monitors performance however and unless you look closely, it still looks very smart on the desk.

After reading the reviews for this monitor here on Amazon I was feeling hesitant to order this monitor but it just looked so good with regards to its "infinity display" design. And by that I'm talking about the very thin plastic bezel around the edge of the display.But my concerns were unwarranted as the display is absolutely gorgeous. I'm no stranger to display technology and I consider myself quite picky when it comes to how I like my displays to look (colour temperature, contrast, brightness, viewing angles etc). And although this isn't a professional display with a wide colour gamut it is a true 8-bit IPS panel with 175 degree viewing angles.Some other reviewers have commented about flickering when connected to certain computers. Initially I also experienced this issue but it turned out that the included Display Port to Mini-Display Port cable is not very well shielded and when draped across an AC power cord (like the one that powers the monitor) it would cause interference which manifested itself in the display and computer disconnecting from each other. Simply moving the cables apart fixed this issue and I have not once had it happen since I did that.The picture quality is really nice, inside the box you get a piece of paper indicating the display has been calibrated by Dell from the factory. This is common with their displays going back many years. I would say that they did a great job, it was setup around 50% brightness, 50% sharpness and all the colours look great to me. I have some other monitors which have also been calibrated and its colours, temperature and contrast look about the same as those which is to say, very good.The only thing I don't like about the display is when you disconnect it from a computer it doesn't go into standby straight away. Instead it brings up a timer counting down 4 minutes and then it enters standby. This doesn't occur if the computer is simply being shutdown while connected to the display which means this issue is really only confined to people using the display with a laptop. It's not a huge deal of course it's just a little quirk that I find annoying.Apart from that the display is great, the super-slim bezels coupled with what I would consider an amazing IPS 4K panel make for a great display. If you don't need or want bezels this small (I measured them with a tape measure to be 4mm thick with no extra blank space between the bezel and the LCD pixels) then you will likely be able to find an alternative 4K monitor for around £400. This display as of this review was £600. For me the slim bezels were worth taking a chance.One last thing to note, it does come with a 100x100 vesa mount and does include the four screws you would need to use that mount. The stand that comes with the monitor doesn't need any tools to fit, you just put it in place and it locks itself down. The stand is quite nice offering a wide freedom of motion and looks quite stylish, as does the entire monitor really.
