What customers say about "Key Specs"

Dell UP2516D Monitor

The stand is as good as it gets and the AR coating is the perfect texture.
This is the best monitor I've ever had. It provides accurate color rendition for photography, which well-justifies the added cost. I'd buy it again.
The size is perfect and color representation is accurate.
Colors were very vibrant and the picture was crisp.
The picture quality on this screen was so bad i thought i received a damaged unit.

What customers say about "Display"

Dell UP2516D Monitor

It was very sturdy, the brightness was very good and the clarity was awesome.
Very crisp and clear monitor which was a welcome upgrade from my old dell.
The monitor display is very crisp and the extra screen real estate is fantastic.
Terrible color uniformity which needs extra equipment to partially correct.
Very imbalanced colour temperature distribution. Half warm half cold.

Brilliant screen. Calibrated from factory, and (with the addition of an Xrite i1 display pro) able to be recalibrated at home.
I use it for photo editing and the results are fantastic, and consistent.
Quality is hands down top class. Looks good in games and design work.
Quick and easy to setup, easy controls to change settings. Standard settings were perfect for me.
The design is very, very nice - both stylish and discrete.
