Thanks to doweyy who went on a code-hunt this morning. This seems like a good deal for a 4K panel under $800 with USB-C connectivity. If you don't have that there's still HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, plus downstream USB-C (note: cannot daisy-chain a second monitor). With 90W charging it'll provide power for most laptops, a 3.5mm audio out for headphones or speakers, and it has 4 x USB 3.0 out (2 x rear, 2 x side). The stand also has full tilt, swivel, and rotation. Being an UltraSharp it has the Dell 3 year premium panel warranty, which is great for peace-of-mind.

This will be great for office work or some general graphics and video, probably not suited for pro graphics/video and definitely not for gaming.

Note that both codes are required to get the title price. Cashback is likely not eligible, Tightarse made a comment here regarding that.

    I bought this. Build quality is not very good. Bottom right hand bezel bulges out. A bit of a hit and miss, but seems to be a common problem. Dell really needs to improve its QC for this model. Otherwise the panel is pretty good. Sharp and crisp image as you would expect. Being an IPS, does suffer from the glowing issue in the dark.

    • Shaolinking on 02/08/2020 - 13:21

      Bought this a month ago too! But no problem with the build quality. Lucky me

    • evanjd on 02/08/2020 - 13:50

      Sad to hear that. I had the previous model (U2718Q) and it too had major build quality issues. Corners of the screen turned red (first just a tint, then opaque) after about 6 months, and went through 2 warranty replacements that all developed the same issue before kicking up a stink and getting a refund.

    • underscore on 02/08/2020 - 14:37

      Same issue with mine, bought at the same time. Bezel bulges out near the control buttons, and also on the left side but to a lesser extent.

      Bit disappointed in the build quality compared to older Dell monitors. Feels a bit cheaply made, especially when using the controls.

      Also note that the USB C cable is a bit short, really have to stretch it to get to the far side of a 15" laptop sitting on a stand next to the monitor. From the research I've done a longer cable that would work with this monitor is pretty expensive, you can't just use any old USB C cable.

      Happy with the picture quality though.

      • kiitos on 02/08/2020 - 15:37

        Where is the monitor made?

    • garylau on 02/08/2020 - 16:08

      Same bezel issue 2 months ago. Raised a support ticket and they replaced one for me without any problem. A bit disappointed though. My U2713H is still strong after 7 years.

      I also wanted Daisy chain on this monitor but it doesn't work. Tech support does not help this time.

      • Munki on 02/08/2020 - 17:27

        Still rocking a U2711! Going strong.

    • RedHab on 03/08/2020 - 08:38

      I have the previous model of this. The build quality if that was also pretty bad. The panel is great but the monitor is so flimsy and won't sit straight on the stand. The screen only came with one signal cable.

      I get the feeling Dell is using the cheapest manufacturer and materials they can. This is a pity, as up to 6 years ago they made the best screens.

  • martindaknife on 02/08/2020 - 11:12

      Dell 3 year premium label warranty for refurbished products is a bit inferior. They have the right to replace it with another refurbished, not brand new.

      • 8azinga on 02/08/2020 - 12:15

        Even if you buy this and claim warranty, they give you a refurbished one.

        • Ebaygiftcards on 02/08/2020 - 12:25

          Really? I was told by Dell rep that it’s not the case (for monitors at least). Might be different story for laptops as they can use refurbished parts to repair it.

          • 8azinga on 02/08/2020 - 12:27

            @Ebaygiftcards: Yes, had to change a U2718Q twice

  • NotAnAudiophile on 02/08/2020 - 11:24

    4K is good, but hard to drive if it’s for gaming. Probably good for graphics tasks just not gaming.

    • howard22 on 02/08/2020 - 13:01

      why is it bad for gaming? could you explain. i'm in the midst of looking for a new monitor for gaming :)

      • NotAnAudiophile on 02/08/2020 - 13:17

        No video card out right now can drive 4k at good frame rates.

      • Shaolinking on 02/08/2020 - 13:39

        Usually only reason to get 4k is to get the crisp texture output for a 27”. 2k is fine but I found it not clear for its size.

        If you hook up with a Mac then best with 4k. If you going to game pretty much often then just go with eg 144mhz 1080p monitor. Really depending on your budget.

        And yes, you can hardly play anything with 4k on pc. Unless lightweight games like LOL.

    • BuyOrNot on 02/08/2020 - 13:53

      4k looks great for ps4 pro gaming.

    "plus downstream USB-C/DP-out for connecting a second monitor as well"

    Just a warning, this model doesn't have MST (display port daisy chaining) so OP's comments are inaccurate. Not an issue for me as I run the monitor into a thunderbolt dock

    • Chazzozz on 02/08/2020 - 11:34

      Ah, mea culpa, I mis-read the specs. Thanks for the correction.

  • wots on 02/08/2020 - 13:13

    Serious question, wouldn't this:
    https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-43-smart-hdr-4k-uhd-led-t…
    Be nice and cheaper to use as a monitor? Or spend a bit more for a Samsung TV? Turn of image "improvement" settings and it might be a good monitor with low latency.
    I've never tried it though, curious about the practicality of it

    • Shaolinking on 02/08/2020 - 13:35

      Tv for movies and gaming only. Reading ok but it’s hurting your eyes.

      Go for monitor for proper all rounder usage.

    • caprimulgus on 02/08/2020 - 13:36
      +2

      Two things:

      1. Probably doesn’t support chroma 4:4:4. If not, text will be blurry. Better off with at least a TCL that does 4:4:4, or the LG ones are supposed to be good for monitor use. Whatever you do, just make sure it supports 4K with chroma 4:4:4
      2. PPI will be much lower for 43” 4K. Personally, 27” 4K would be too high ppi for me, 43” would be too low. Some people would prefer the sharper text (and/or use scaling) with 27” 4K (particularly Mac users, who are accustomed to high ppi screens), some would prefer the larger screen of 43” 4K. So which is better for you is really subjective. (Neither is really ideal for me. I think 32” 4K is the closest I can get.)

    • carnyturbo on 03/08/2020 - 14:07

      A few years ago this was an issue because Windows would not let you set different DPI scaling per monitor, so if you were using 2 displays with vastly different PPI you could end up with very annoying sizes for menus etc. on one or more monitors. If one monitor was exactly half or double the PPI you could use some in-built scaling to remedy this. That is all fixed now with Windows 10 (and maybe 8.1 also?) supporting DPI scaling per monitor. Rarely you will find programs that don't listen to the per-monitor DPI scaling and will use whatever is the DPI scaling of your primary monitor, but in my experience it is happening less and less.

      Not just an Apple issue BTW but I guess they were some of the earlier laptops with higher PPI screens so they got a lot of attention.

      Your monitor developed a bulge because it was happy to see you. Not a defect.

      • 3trifecta3 on 02/08/2020 - 17:57

        Yeah I know, it's just i'm not sure if it's worth the hassle getting it shipped and waiting for a return if it's not really noticeable. I mean chances are (given the comments above) it's widespread so not sure whether it'll be fixed by now.

    • turtlesinmypants on 02/08/2020 - 20:58

      Does this affect the display at all or is it just a cosmetic issue?

    I wish I saved up and brought a 4K monitor. I got just the Dell P2419H a few weeks ago for my Mac Mini. It replaced my 2012 iMac but unfortunately the text on the Dell isn’t as sharp. I never appreciated how good the iMac display was until now.

        This was my first time buying a monitor and it can be quite confusing. I managed to find quite a few reviews saying that the dell P2419H was a good match for macOS. So many monitor guides and people say different things.

        Interesting. I'll have to read those threads. I checked the actual monitor display settings and my monitor is set to YCbCr. I just tried switching it to the RGB option and it completely inverted the monitor colours. Strange.

  • roweysvn on 02/08/2020 - 15:09

    I have 3 of these and I love them. I do have the buldging bezel, issue on one of them like others have mentioned however the image on all 3 is super crisp and what I've come to expect of Dell. I use them primarily for work as well as photo and video editing and they're fantastic.

    For gaming I've noticed a significant drop in what I can play at higher settings, going from 1080p displays to this is a lot more demanding on my GPU, but that should be expected when going to 4K. That's a good price too, I got mine for $799 and that's using our Dell discount with a distributor.

      "Bundled Services 3-Years Advanced Exchange Service and Premium Panel Guarantee" is the standard warranty. The no warranty added means any additional warranty, like 4 or 5 years total which was an option to add on.

      • 8azinga on 06/08/2020 - 10:55

        What do you expect them to do?
        Their manufacturing is scaled back due to covid, shipping takes longer, they likely cant get parts from their suppliers as fast either.

          Give me a refund cos I can't wait 2.5 months for a monitor. They should have said up front if they're gonna take that long before making the sale. When I purchased it said delivery within 7 days. I understand delays due to covid but I think 2.5 months isn't reasonable without saying so.

          • 8azinga on 06/08/2020 - 13:36

            @dsoegijono: Im sure they'll have no problems giving you a refund.

            They likely had enough parts at the time but the popularity of the other dell monitor deal meant a lot of parts are being used for that as well. They now have a shortage of some parts used in the stand which are likely used for both this and the other monitor deal.

      Depends if Dell releases another code to replace ECU5 but they may have caught on to the fact that it ends up on here after the recent deals.
      You can still get it for $832 using the auaffiliates15%off code.

      Price isnt that good though. I got the U2718Q back in 2018 for $623. It was on sale on Dell ebay and then there was an extra 20% off. Dell are yet to put this monitor on ebay though.
