Great 4K monitor for dual computer setups.

Great monitor, great quality. I had to buy a separate cable but now I use this between my work pc laptop with hdmi and my personal Mac laptop with a thunderbolt (mini DisplayPort) to DisplayPort cable. Love being able to just tap a button to swap from work to play on the same monitor and two computers (Mac and pc) without having to swap cables around.

Great color and resolution.

Great value for the $$. Fantastic Picture quality. I bought for use in Photoshop/Lightroom Photo editing and it lives up to its description. Paired with a Dell XPS 8930 Desktop Gaming Computer this duo gives me what I need in terms of computer power and monitor color/resolution for my photo editing endeavors.

Worth It

Very pleased so far with the resolution, color reproduction, and thin bezels. If you have a USB-C powered laptop, don’t hesitate on a USB-C monitor. It’s a luxury to have only one cable to deal with.

Perfect monitor for WFO

Phenomenal monitor for a home office set-up. Works perfectly as a one cable solution with power for the MacBook Pro 16. Price is right here on Adorama too.

Great monitor for half the price of the more robust UP versions.

Excellent monitor. I also purchased one of the UP2718Q monitors, which was about double the price. The UP version is clearly a more robust monitor better suited for graphics professionals. With a colorimeter like i1 Display Pro, you can get very, very good calibration on this U2720Q which serves my needs for occasional photoshop work on advertising and web graphics, as well as light duty video editing for youtube videos, etc. I take one star off of total rating because there is some light uniformity inconsistency on the right edge, not enough to be worth returning for another monitor (I do mean 'slight', only when really trying to pick nits is it obvious.

Pretty good 4K monitor

A pretty good 4K monitor. Colors and sharpness are noticeably good. The only negative about the monitor are the buttons at the bottom right end for changing monitor settings. They are hard to use, I have to hold the monitor to be able to push them so that input is registered by the monitor.

Love my new monitor

Love this monitor! I'm a professional interior designer so I like the fact that the screen has an anti glare built in. The color is very crisp and the arm base seems very sturdy and swivels up/down and to portrait mode with ease. Very pleased with my purchase!
