This monitor did exactly what I needed. I needed a second monitor to view certain documents and applications in portrait mode and this monitor does exactly that. Pretty much every monitor does that actually but you have to find one that has a rotating stand, or, a monitor with VESA mount and you buy a separate stand. So, this is basically a $199 monitor with a rotating stand.
Now, the issue I ran into and it took me a while to figure out my solution was getting my Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti to allow me to have 1 monitor running on the single HDMI port and 1 monitor running off the displayport port. You would think this was a no-brainer (and usually is) - just plug them in and off you go. However, mine wasn't working right off the bat. I was getting 'no signal' on the monitor from the displayport on the Nvidia card. Long story short, it turned out certain Nvidia cards (mine is one) needed a firmware update for the displayport to work properly. Once I installed the firmware update (the firmware update is completely separate from the Nvidia drivers package) everything worked like a champ.
So, in summary, I give 4 stars to the monitor (nice picture, not totally washed out, sparce on features.) I give 5 stars for the value/cost of the monitor. I purchased at $199 which (from looking around) seemed a good $50-80 cheaper than most vendors who are selling the same Dell Professional line ("P" monitor) of monitors.
I don't know if this is a good gaming monitor by today's standards so if you're looking for that then I suggest moving your monitor budget up around $400. If you need a solid productivity monitor for work/office/etc - this monitor is perfect.
Having suffered long enough using a small 12" EGA LCD monitor on my old IBM homebuilt compatible, we said enough was enough and after studying the field, chose this unit.
The CONS:
1. No Audio
2. No Remote: fight the lower right hand buttons for everything.
3. No AUTO Detect mode despite having an AUTO selection under inputs. More of a DUMB Monitor than not.
Navigation is clutsy; changing from VGA input to HDMI input is a hoop stepper which we will have to learn to memorize.
4. Amazon's "Incognito" packaging step did not work. Our monitor arrived with DELL Flags flowing.
5. Not sure if this is a DELL issue or a Windows 10 issue: power saving modes thwart timed UPDATES.
Since DELL is the businessman's favorite (offices full of DELL's) you would think the individual machines could update during the night without personal attention. Maybe a GATES Hole or blunder. DUNNO.
The Pros
1. 27 inch screen is very helpful and fits the room well. Bright, crisp, enjoyable.
2. Has a 1920 X 1080 display which WIndows sets up nicely. Clear & readable.
3. Responsive for the most part.
As a theoretical statistician I read many articles, conduct many analyses, and write many articles. This monitor is light weight, simple to assemble, and has an easily manipulated orientation. Wonderful clarity, even though I have challenged vision in one eye. Simply put, a great flat screen monitor for my purposes.
This monitor is very clear and easy on the eyes to work at all day long. The colors seem to be very accurate and the edges are clean on text and images, bright enough to work in the office lighting. Great monitor for every day use, I would recommend it.
Nice monitor for the price. A bit low on resolution for 27 inch, but doesn't matter since I only need 1080p. Bigger screen means I can sit farther back from the screen. Highly adjustable, nice color and contrast.

This was purchased to use in business. It works great and the screen size if perfect. Plenty of ports including downstream USB connections. Dell has a great product here!
This monitor has very thin edge/frame. Easy setup and connection with our MacBook and pc. Color is soft and stable. I like it so far.
Son loves his new monitor. He says the picture is sharp and works great for games.
Nice for the work, great quality.
Took me a while to get used to it and adjust it, but it works very well.
Just hoping it last as long as my last Samsung.
