## Questions & Answers

**Q: What cable adapters do i need to connect this display to a mid-2015 macbook pro 15" retina to get 2560 x 1440 high quality resolution?**
A: I believe MacBook have minidisplay ports. The same as my Surface. The monitor comes with mini display port cable so no need for a converter

**Q: It says led in the title but when comparing to others, it says lcd as opposed to led-lit. so is it lcd or led?**
A: All LED monitors are LCD. LCD is the type of panel that creates the image. LED is the type of backlight that shines through the panel so you can see the image. LCDs used to be made with fluorescent backlights but the industry transitioned to LED backlights a few years ago. Pretty much all LCD monitors and TVs are made with LED backlights now.

**Q: Do these monitors have a speaker?**
A: no speaker

**Q: How do I connect a macbook pro 2019? What cable / adaptor is needed?**
A: That laptop only has Thunderbolt 3 connectors, which also work with USB-C. So you just need a USB-C adapter cable that connects to either HDMI, DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality monitor with rare specifications for a good price
*by D***E on March 31, 2019*

After trying a couple of other monitors with similar specs and having to return them, this monitor turned out to be really great.I was looking for a monitor with 2560x1440 resolution and a smaller screen, for under $300 or so, but there are very few options available. I find having two monitors at 27" just takes up too much desk space, and 23.6" - 24" screens at 1440p leaves on screen elements looking just a bit too small without scaling, which is not preferable. This monitor, at 25", was the perfect screen size and pixel density - surprisingly hard to find.The clarity of everything on screen is great. Everything is sharp and clear without appearing artificially sharpened. The couple of monitors I had tried prior to this had terrible issues with the "rainbow sparkling" of their matte/anti-glare finish, making it extremely difficult to focus on. This monitor does not have that issue at all.Colors appear very deep and rich. The monitor is capable of being very bright. I bought two of these, and they were very slightly different in their color - one naturally more warm, and the other more cool - which was apparent in the gray tone of the OSD menus. It doesn't bother me too much, and I was able to offset the colors so that it is unnoticeable, but it is worth considering if you're particularly set on having multiple monitors be calibrated exactly the same.On both monitors I've bought, the greens needed to be toned down from default settings, but otherwise the colors seem very true. More so than any other monitor I've owned, I feel like I am seeing closer to the full range of values, maintaining an ability to differentiate values in both bright whites and dark blacks.Across both of the monitors that I bought, it does seem consistent that the left side is slightly warmer toned and the right side is slightly bluer toned at the bottom of the screen. I don't find this color shift to be prominent enough to be noticeable in practical usage.I haven't used any features like the Smart HDR, because I generally find that kind of stuff to be gimmicky.No issues with backlight bleeding or anything. There is what feels like a very minimal/acceptable amount, only at the bottom of the screen. Not sure if I got lucky, but it seems that both of the ones I bought have far less than what I've seen pictured in some reviews.On the tearing issue - I have read a lot about this, and it did almost deter me from buying this monitor altogether, but I am glad it didn't. I have a GTX 1070, and have not encountered this issue at all so far. I am not sure if Dell has made any fixes to this in their firmware, but both monitors I bought came with the M2T104 firmware installed. I have only tried these monitors on PC and not on any consoles yet, but I will edit my review if this changes. However, playing a variety of games on PC hasn't made this issue appear yet.This isn't something I was looking for when I bought these monitors, but the adjustable stands are awesome and I generally like the build of the monitor. I always prefer monitors with a flat and rectangular base. The swiveling is convenient and the height adjustability works really well while maintaining sturdiness. I will probably never really use the full ability to rotate the screen, but it's nice to be able to. The monitor has a good amount of options for ports, and the additional USB ports are helpful as well.All around, I feel like these monitors were great quality for the price (I bought for about $300 USD each), and from a couple trials of other monitors in the screen size range of 24-25" and at 1440p in a similar price range, that you wouldn't be able to find much better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the greatest in the world, but easily greatest for price.
*by C***S on August 17, 2019*

These are really solid monitors. I don't really know what else I can say about them. I know other people complain about color bleed and loss of image clarity, but I've had one of these monitors for over a year now and it looks the same as the day it arrived. I know this, because I purchased a second one only a few weeks ago, and they're identical to my eye. Same brightness, same colors, same sharpness. Very well balanced, very robust, does not wear out.Does not have ultra-fast refresh times. Does not have absolute perfect designer-grade color reproduction. Isn't 4k. But unless you're an absolute super-user, these monitors are amazing. Larger than full-HD, very good color, very bright, very consistent, 60hz refresh. You can get two of these in a double-monitor setup for the same price as a single 4k monitor with the same level of color and robustness. No brainier for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Display!
*by G***2 on December 28, 2019*

This is one of the best displays I've bought, in this form factor.What I like:*It is sufficiently bright.*The colors look true.*The bezel is thin.*It's super sharp*I love the pan, tilt and height adjust-ability.*It can be rotated 90 degrees.*The stand is very stable and well made.*It works great with a height adjustable table.*It has enough connectivity ports. It has daisy chain (connect multiple displays) capability via the Display Port.*The 1440p resolution is perfect for a monitor of this size. It provides enough real-estate for productivity. Playing games also works great at this resolution. It's a good compromise between 1080p and 4k.What I don't like:-The power and navigation buttons are on the bottom side of the bezel. It's a bit awkward, but I've gotten used to it. Fortunately, I rarely have to use the monitor's menu system, and I normally keep the display on, so I don't have to turn it on and off (on a frequent basis).For my purposes, it works great for productivity and light gaming.All things told, for the price, I would definitely recommend this display to anyone.
