Dell S2817Q LCD Monitor

The monitor has great picture. 4K resolution and 28" size is just great.
I like the size of the monitor - it doesn't take up too much space but maintains that 4K resolution.
Great 4k monitor at 60Hz refresh rate. The picture is outstanding.
It's a great 4k monitor with all the gaming features that you need.
The only bad thing, is the refresh rate. Not the best for games.

Dell S2817Qr LCD Monitor

This monitor is excellent for my needs. Great resolution.
This resolution will definitely be a big improvement over 1080p.
It's refresh rate is super fast so gamers might love that.
The monitor provides a sharp picture at 3840 x 2160 resolution.
The only downside is that the benefit of 4k at the 28" monitor size is modest.

What customers say about "Display"

Dell S2817Q LCD Monitor

Watching video and playing video games on these is smooth, the display is also nice and bright.
The picture is fairly bright and everything looks brilliant on this monitor.
This is a great monitor, don't shy away over the fact that it's a TN panel. It is just as bright as IPS, but more convenient to eyes.
Color is excellent out of the box. Wash at extreme angles is expected and not an issue at all.
Looking from top to bottom drastically changes image color and contrast. Just a bad viewing angles.

Dell S2817Qr LCD Monitor

The picture is fine when viewing straight on. Good TN panel.
This is TN panel, means, the colors are great, but viewing angles are little distracted.
Brilliant image quality from straight on. Highly recommend.
I was blown away by the picture quality. The colors are super bright and vivid.
At about 10° off axis, the hue begins to change and you lose the picture sharpness.

The speakers are about as good as I would expect them to be. Pretty convenient to watch some films.
Like the programable buttons. I can easily to switch between my computer and work quickly.
I was not disappointed! The build-in speakers provide great sound & the display is beautiful.
Buttons on bottom left hand of screen are extremely small and actually hurt your fingers when pressed.

Dell S2817Qr LCD Monitor

Built in speakers are ok and it is pretty possible to watch films or listen to music with this speakers.
The monitor is simple to setup. Stand is solid and very convenient.
For a remote observatory where I have installed this monitor, the speakers come in handy.
There is no tilt in the stand, it sits exactly parallel to the desk & that's your only option.
The controls are not at all intuitive, menus difficult to navigate through and buttons are so stiff.
