Dell UP2720Q Reviews

Problem

By Sovanna
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-01-10

I bought this monitor as open box from B & H Photos and Videos. After connecting and power on, the screen went to black for seconds many times all long my work. Can not work with this monitor. After contacting Dell technician, they will replace this monitor with a refurbished one.

Great for photographers, not for retouchers

By Bruce

This monitor does a lot of things very well. It has that built-in colorimeter for calibration and does not need to be connected to a computer for it to automatically calibrate itself. The software that runs it is okay, I have some minor quibbles with it that can make it frustrating or confusing, I hope that can be ironed out over time. I would think this monitor would be ideal for photographers with laptops, since it can charge the laptop and be used as a second screen. But, I'm a retoucher, and from my viewpoint, this monitor doesn't cut it. If I have two identical images up in two areas of the screen, they can appear different, so doing visual matches are tricky. I can see one side of the screen lighter and more cyan, and the other darker and reddish. It is consistent with other screens that have problems with off-angle color reproduction. For the price, I would have thought this would have been more under control. I have several retouchers working on these and they all have the same complaint. For some, the features this screen offers will make it just the right tool. For serious retouching, get the Eizo (if you can find one!)

what is the warranty period on these used Dell monitors?,
Asked by: lewis
The used Dell UltraSharp 27" 16:9 UHD IPS Monitor's come with a 30 day return period and a 90 day B&H warranty for manufacturing defects only. If you are concerned about the longevity of the monitor, you can also purchase an Allstate Protection Plan for the monitor, which would be like an extended warranty for the monitor.
