Best Monitor for CAD Work!

I absolutely love this display! The opportunity to customize the function and allocation of windows with Dell Display Manager is super intuitive. I use my display for 3D modeling, and often juggle windows of varying sizes for ranging detail of work.

New Screen

Nice monitor, unfortunately the first one received was fried and had to be replaced. The repackage and trip to UPS was not simple with a 50 lb oversized package. The monitor itself is nice and worth the $

Aids productivity

This monitor works great, the screen quality is nice and I can arrange the screen into 4 quadrants to make working easier; its like having two sets of dual monitors stacked with out all the extra hardware.

Dell 43 Ultra HD 4K Multi Client Monitor - P4317Q

Monitor is large, well built and works good for CAD and digital takeoff. Crisp clear images. As another reviewer noted this monitor uses Pulse Wave Modulation, which can cause eye fatigue and headaches. I am not a sensitive person, this is the first monitor I've ever used that gives me quick eye fatigue and minor headaches. I wish that wasn't the case. I may return it if I can't get passed the eye fatigue.

Not worth it.

It is a JOKE, it does not do what DELL says it does I had to find 3rd party software to make it work like the pic DELL posted

Upset with Dell

Your representative said this monitor would work with my current Dell system. When I installed the monitor am getting on two sites not four.

Nice but flickers

The monitor is nice but for some reason it flickers at times when it shouldn’t be. Maybe it’s my refresh rate.

Stress Reducer

Works great. Have the ability to keep many windows open in a single surface. Do not have to stress my neck looking at a secondary monitor.

Input Lag is a Serous Flaw

I bought this monitor to compliment my two additional monitors (Alienware 240hz refresh rate, Dell @ 60hz). This monitor can only achieve a 30hz refresh rate due to the flawed architecture. What exactly happens? At native resolution, your mouse movement feels extremely laggy and for me, it is very annoying. Even highlighting text with this monitor feels awful. I would not recommend this to people for the high price you pay.

Super Fantastic monitor

I am only using this as a single monitor connected to a display port KVM switch. It looks fantastic. I love it.. Clear and crisp text. it is a very large monitor but that is why I bought it. I installed it on a wall mount monitor arm so it is not taking up any desk space.

Why not 4 display port inputs?!

Adaptors, cords and funky resolution between sections. All be fixed by adding 4 display port inputs... But not on this model

My favorite display for CAD and Revit...except for the stand.

I've been using this for several months in an architectural firm, mainly working in Revit. It's excellent for this. I also use it to review PDF's of drawings, and I can read the entire drawing and all the notes without zooming. It works with Photoshop, Word, etc. Because of the size, I don't use Windows scaling; just leave it at 100%. The stand has no height adjustment, which is a bummer. I often stand at my desk, so I got a monitor arm rated for this weight and that works better, but I found that the display is not evenly balanced, so it wants to rotate on the arm pivot. I hung a hammer on the top left edge to balance it. Also, it would be nice to have a few USB ports on the right/left edges where you can easily reach them, instead of just the bottom. It came with a dead spot of dark pixels, about 1mm x 1/2 mm in size. I decided not to return it and I hardly notice it. Dell, how to make this better: the stand needs height adjustment, include some USB ports where they can be useful, and balance the weight about the center of the VESA mount. And no dead spots.

My BIG monitor

I've had this about a week now and I'm very impressed with its features and the incredible size. What a wonderful difference it has made. I'm really liking this monitor so far and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a monitor larger than 30 inches. This thing is awesome!

Simply Awesome

I like my monitors to have a pitch of 100-120 PPI. This monitor is the best way for me to achieve that at 4K, and offers better features and controls than, say, running an HDMI 2.0x output into a 4K TV and hoping the TV has the picture controls to tune it. The base seems sturdy, and it was easy to assemble. I have not used the USB hub features yet, but will be doing so as time goes by. This monitor is substantial; if you are going to put it on an arm or other aftermarket mount, make sure your mounting solution can handle the weight. While I can't speak to its suitability as a gaming monitor, I can say that it provides great productivity functions for business applications.

Awesome

Have had this monitor for months now and it is fantastic. I do a lot of work in Visio and it allows me to see an entire design all at once without scaling the window to see small details. Now that I have it, there's no way I could ever go back to a smaller screen or lower resolution and do vector work. It has spoiled me.

I have purchased over 15 Dell displays and close to 10 Dell XPS machines. From their 27 inch touch to their 13 inch, most have all worked very well.

I needed to improve the ergo environment of my work space. So I searched for a larger monitor to replace the 4 Dell monitors I was using (2 24-inch, 2 27-inch). So when I saw this, it was like Bamn! That is it!!! This puts the head and neck in the proper position, and it does so in 4K, and with speakers. All of the connection options and the USB hub make it even nicer. Before I bought this I did not even know what multi-client was, nor was it available. I happened to come across it on a search of the Dell website. So I needed to know more and I needed to know if this was the solution I was searching for. So I went into Dell's chat box to get help. After 25 minutes of chat, where every question was properly handled, I bought this bad boy and I am considering a second. It is utterly amazing, and the price is about $400 too low. When they come out with a 5K touch screen I will replace this with that. It is that good.

Modern business monitor without modern features

This monitor has glorious resolution made totally useless because the backlight uses PWM Pulse Width Modulation to adjust the backlight brightness. This leads to eye fatigue and, in some cases, severe headaches. One would be hard pressed to find other monitors in Dell's lineup with this outdated technology since it has almost entirely been removed from all modern monitors. As a business monitor, it is expected to have "Comfort View" aka "low blue light" mode to reduce eye stress during a long day of use. Fix these problems and you will sell more of these than you could make.

Superb display

I had been looking to buy this monitor for a few months now. I had two Dell 24" screens on my desk, but I decided I needed even more screen real estate. I had also been looking at getting two of the 28" 4K screens because that setup would have been much cheaper than this monitor was. Alas, my vidie card couldt support that config. So I pulled the trigger on this. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Full 4K resolution at 60Hz (using DisplayPort) and enough screen real estate to simultaneously show 4 1080P windows at the same time! Dell's DisplayManager software makes this an easy thing to do. Don't let the price put you off this monitor. Once you take it out of the box and start using it, you'll forget all about that. This is a must for anyone needing multiple screens for work who doesn't want to deal with bezel breaks. Also, this thing will support 4 video inputs at the same time, so I am also going to hook up my Satellite receiver and watch TV while I work.
