For around $800 you get a massive 27-inch display that delivers rich IPS color, wide viewing angles, and great highlight detail. With four video inputs and four USB 3.0 ports you'll have no trouble connecting to PCs.CNET90The best overall monitorThe Dell UltraSharp U2713HM is an excellent monitor that will satisfy both the performance snob and the features diva alike.Macworld80Review: Dell UltraSharp U2713HM a nonglossy alternIf you’re looking for a reasonably priced, high-resolution 27-inch display, and if you prefer antiglare screens, the Dell U2713HM is a great choice. It excelled in our on-screen performance tests, and it offers a wide variety of connection options and a flexible design.AnandTech80Dell U2713HM - Unbeatable performance out of the bIn the end, I think the U2713HM is a very well designed display and one that I do recommend, especially if it is available on sale from Dell. It is one of the few displays that after spending time with it I don’t have any annoyances or problems that I feel need to be fixed.Expert Reviews100Dell U2713H reviewSuperior image quality and an impressive range of inputs make this one of the best monitors of 2013.IT Pro Portal80Dell UltraSharp U2713HM reviewAlso, the monitor’s dark greyscale performance could be better, but those niggles aside, the U2713HM's overall performance and robust features mean that it deserves one of our coveted Best Buy awards.FlatPanelsHD80Dell U2713HM reviewIt is no breakthrough but it offers some improvements and the lower price compared to Dell’s last U2711 makes it a very attractive monitor.TFT Central90Dell U2713HMIt made a lot of positive improvements and offered the kind of all round performance you'd want from any screen. Certainly a very good new addition to the Dell range.

This was the one purchase that had more impact on my computer enjoyment than any other. Movies look amazing on it, video games look far better than I ever remember. It has a quick menu for swapping between presets for movies or games. It's nice to have your gamma up a bit for games where you want to see everything, but lower for movies where you want the authentic mood. The only downside is the price, It's a lot more than I ever paid for a monitor. Overall I'm super happy with my purchase, I spend far too much time looking at my computer, at least now it looks a lot nicer.rydad100March 17, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I picked up two of these from the Dell Outlet after eyeing them for a couple of years. The picture quality is fantastic and the industrial design is superb. I am driving each with a DP input from an AMD card in my Dell desktop that has dual DP outputs driving each display at the full 2560x1440 resolution.I mostly use these for being able to have big spreadsheets or multiple programs pen on each screen without having to scroll. For this purpose, they work great. When I f\do watch videos, I also get superb performance. I have not pushed the limits of HD video yet, but I have no doubt they will perform well.Engadget Reader90February 19, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I chose this display over the Asus PB278Q. Dell's warrantee what swayed me over to the U2713HM. The ASUS is available at NCIX for $670. On sale, I purchased from Dell.ca for $585CDN (regularly $799 each). If you purchase from Amazon or another vendor, you will not get the 3 year exchange warrantee. There are so few 2650 x 1440 displays available, I took a lot of time to make my final purchasing decision.Packaged well and arrived from Dell.ca quickly.I purchased two of these displays for the new MacPro. The pre-calibration is fantastic and handles the Apple gamut + Adobe RGB + sRGB very well, closely matching my test machine (iMac). The U2713HM panels are the exact same LG panels used in the current Apple Thunderbolt Display, without the glass, gloss finish - which I would have preferred, but given it was $414 cheaper than the Apple Display, I'll manage. ;-)I ran all the dead-pixel tests I could find, none were found. I will run again at full resolution, but I don't expect anything new will pop up. So far so good. Waiting for DisplayPort > Thunderbolt cable to maximize the resolution of my MacPro. HDMI will only show at 1080p.An excellent 2650 x 1440 screen for a great price.Engadget Reader100February 4, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Best screen owned so far, but it might not suite everyone. For that many you can get 2 screens of same size, but if you in to photography or have anything to do with graphic it's must have screen.Engadget Reader90January 11, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.
