Dell's 27-Inch U2715H Monitor: Updated I/O, Thinner Bezel

[Heisenbleurgh]

Keeping the 2560 x 1440 resolution and AH-IPS panel, the new, sexier Dell Ultrasharp U2715H has showed up in their Hong Kong site with thinner bezels and updated I/O.

 

 

It is also an 8-bit panel, making it good for 16.78 million colors, and Dell has it factory-calibrated to cover 99 percent of the sRGB color space with a DeltaE < 3. Some older 27" WQHD UltraSharps had 10-bit panels for a much larger color range, although it wouldn't surprise us if a 10-bit variant were to pop up later on. 

 

The U2715H's updated I/O interfaces include a four-port USB 3.0 hub, two HDMI inputs with MHL support, a single Mini-DisplayPort in, a single DisplayPort in, an MST DisplayPort out with support for daisy-chaining, and an audio line-out. The monitor also has support for the optional AC511 Dell Speaker Bar.

Same panel, same horrendous backlight bleed

Pretty quick to judge, eh?

 

Looks nice. Like all dell products though, it's going to be overpriced.

How am I quick to judge? It's the same panel.... People, my self included went through 4+ monitors to get a decent one

So they have QC issues, who doesn't? They still have the best CS in comparison to the competition.

Quality control issues where 80% of their panels are out right flawed? Thats not exactly a small deal. If it wasnt for the customer support theyd be fucked

I never had and issues with them, neither have my friends.

 

Keep on preaching though!

I'm not saying Dell overall is bad. I work IT in a school board. I deal with them daily and handle probably $10k worth of their product a month. It's just that one product is  beyond flawed

Well with that sample size then I guess I should take your word for it. I guess I've been pretty fortunate.

Your experiences do not apply to everyone else's

 

It's clear that this panel had horrendous back light bleed issues. It's discouraging to see that they're using the same panel but hopefully they fixed the issues.

[TroubleKlef]

I like where the monitor industry is going with smaller bezels, higher resolutions, and color reproduction.

 

This monitor seems interesting along with the Asus PA328Q.

I find with glossy panels panels its extremely easy to spots bleeds but with matte you have to try, ill agree with you, the previous generation of this monitor which i recommended to my friend(by accident) wasnt very good, he didnt notice because hes still a nooblet in the pc world.

Pretty much this, I'm a proud owner of a U2713HM but I did have to go through an absolutely terrible one beforehand, this one isn't perfect by any means, but backlight bleed is minimal so I'm sticking with it. LG were far too lazy with QC on the panel that the U2713HM used since it was a lower tier product compared to the U2713H which was the professional monitor per say. Dell never stepped up and dealt with LG over it, they're happy enough returning shitloads of them daily since it's too much hassle to get LG to sort it.

youve never heard of people playing the panel lottery with the U2412M? im pretty sure thats the one where it had green spots, dead pixels and back light bleed so many people would return them just to get a monitor that is the same.

 

[Ethnod]

too many monitors and too many choices

[DaRk0]

Sweet. Thin bezel 27' Ultrasharp monitor. Do want.

I deal with alot of U2311's and U2414's. Not many issues

[RobSenner]

Fingers crossed for no Overdrive issues like the U2713H or the visual static issues like the U2713HM!

[hmminteresting]

Dells not really a choice imo I mean theres a lot better for a lot cheaper (AOC)

[Real_PhillBert]

I really love that stand, I have it on my P2314H's. I wouldn't mind picking up one of these as well.

[Toddwjp]

it would be awesome if a company sold monitors with removable bezels.
