Dell Ultrasharp U2719DX

Picking out a new monitor is a tricky process and an important one.

Dell calls this an infinity edge display and it makes this monitor ideal for use in dual-monitor setups.

We placed it between a 1080p and a 4K 2160p display, it worked well with either.

The stand and base have a minimalist design that lends this display a unique and professional appearance.

Every part, from the display itself to the stand and base, feels durable and made to last.

Height adjustment is also a breeze, as you merely need to apply gentle pressure in the desired direction.

Colors are both vibrant and accurate.

Despite this wide range of smooth movement, the monitor does not wobble or feel insecure.

The base connects solidly to the stand and screws down tight.

Ports are easily accessible due to good design and the impressive articulation of the display.

Setup is a breeze thanks to Dells clever engineering.

At initial startup, the monitor allowed us to select from a number of languages for its menu system.

The menu system itself is intuitive and slickly displayed.

Image Quality: Sharp and accurate

The Dell Ultrasharp U3719DX is, in a word, beautiful.

Colors are both vibrant and accurate.

Only high-end pro monitors that cost upwards of a thousand dollars can do better.

The panel is a high-quality IPS display that is very bright and evenly lit.

Where it stumbles a bit is in its unimpressive 60Hz refresh rate.

For all uses other than gaming, this monitor excels.

Furthermore, the display does not support either G-Sync or Freesync, technology that reduces screen tearing.

This lack of gaming focus makes sense considering that this monitor is not aimed or marketed for that use.

Basic brightness, contrast, and resolution adjustment tools are also included.

It also includes easy access to color temperature and RGB adjustments.

you might change the language, rotation, transparency, and the sleep timer for the OSD.

There are also shortcut key customization options, power light customization, and USB passthrough options.

This puts it well beyond the budget monitor range while managing to avoid competition with serious high-end professional monitors.

With the U2719DX you get real valuea quality screen without any major caveats to speak of.

This is a clear case of a product aiming for and hitting that price-to-performance sweet spot.

Those able and willing to invest a little extra in their screen will be rewarded with excellent value.

On the low end of the spectrum, Acers R271 gives the Ultrasharp U2719DX a run for its money.

Final Verdict

Easy to recommend for just about everyone.
