still set to retina-searing brightness
buttons for menu controls are very small LED rectangles
Only the power button is permanently emitting a blue or orange light
little too bright for darkened rooms
The material itself does not feel or look cheap
traffic and performance
a 24-inch screen are exaggerated in a 27-inch display
measurement only dropped to 340
the image quality degrades around those lights
2709W was not as impressive
Zoom function only magnifies the centre
reds still seemed a little too neon for our tastes
Can be easy to accidentally turn off due to touch sensitive buttons
phase-locked-loop crystal oscillators
Changing inputs It takes too many steps to switch inputs
Touch sensitive buttons while they look slick
not let me save my worked on photo
It feels strange to run a browser session in full-screen mode
the user controls were a nightmare initially
were no pixel issues at 1920x1200 32-bit resolution
highly-reflective Dell logo that can be distracting
touch-sensitive buttons
