Covering 100% of the Adobe RGB, 100% of the sRGB, 100% of the REC 709, and 98% of the DCI-P3 color spaces, the UltraSharp 27 UP2716D 27″ 16:9 IPS Monitor from Dell gives you the color accuracy you need to ensure your photos and videos are true to life. In addition to enhanced color accuracy, this Dell Ultra-Sharp monitor comes factory calibrated to Delta-E < 2 so you do not have to calibrate the display when it arrives.
With a 2560 x 1440 resolution the 27 UP2716D provides a crisp clear picture, and with support for up to 1.07 billion colors you have an expanded color palette to choose from. Along with enhanced resolution, this ultra-sharp monitor supports a 6 ms response time for reduced ghosting when viewing video, and 1,000:1 contrast ratio for deeper dark and brighter bright colors resulting in a more dynamic picture.
Configuration is simple with a variety of connectors including DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB port. This Dell monitor can even support content from two PCs simultaneously thanks to the dual USB 3.0 upstream ports and embedded KVM switch. Once configured, this IPS (In-Plane Switching) display can be viewed from nearly any angle with support for 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles.

this is a nice monitor, however the color is so brilliant that it almost hurts the eyes. i have not been able to find within the monitor controls how to tone down the intensity of the color.

Outstanding monitor. Build quality is first rate. Screen quality, image quality, and resolution is great. I am using the monitor on a PC dedicated to photography. This monitor is great for use with Lightroom and Photoshop.

Arrived sooner than estimated. Super easy setup. Works as expected. I’m a graphic designer and use the same model at ny job so bought this one for my home use. Good color handling for a more affordable price.

The UP2716D monitor is an excellent monitor for just about any purpose. I use it for photographic editing with Adobe Lightroom. I bought a second one for my wife who has more mundane needs. The monitor is excellent, calibrates well with the ColorMunki calibrator. I have no complaints.

I had been looking for good quality 4k monitors with 100% AdobeRGB color and these are perfection! I can’t believe how bad my old monitors were until I turned these on. B&H shipped them to the house right on time. I’ll definitely shop B&H again in the future!

Only Uniformity Compensation (UC) = ON, makes this screen useful. UC=ON is only possible when in the Custom mode setting. Without UC this screen has cooler (blue) hue shifts on the left, and warmer (red) shifts on the right, making all the other settings in the bios useless. When UC=on, this is a very good uniform screen, but the only detail setting you can adjust in that mode is the brightness. The only preset mode setting that will allow UC to be on is the Custom setting. Any other mode (sRGB, aRGV, Cal1/2 (hardware), etc.) will turn off UC. With UC ON, all the settings you can set in Custom (gun levels, contrast, etc.) will be ignored, except for brightness. Link to some discuss about it: https://www.dell.com/community/Monitors/UP2716D-Hardware-Calibration-Deactivates-Uniformity-Compensation/td-p/4759565 UC + DisplayCal can make it good. Even just UC + lower Brightness 40 will get you close (but not accurate (too blue)). I’m using a ColorMunki (ie. Studio) sensor (earlier non-pro version). For software cal the current pro versions offer no advantage other than speed (might pick one up on sale someday). This is a good link for DisplayCal reference: https://phototacopodcast.com/photographers-guide-to-screen-calibration-with-displaycal/ DisplayCal is needed to adjust the brightness down to a cd/m of 120 or a lower known value, color temp to 6500k or lower, and adjust the curves to compensate for lack of individual color gun control. Without using DisplayCal to adjust the Whitepoint color temp, the UC screen defaults to over 7000k (the ‘!’ next to the settings will get a report that shows lots of result detail after a run with defaults or your settings, etc.). My settings: (Custom, UC and Brightness = 38) (settings are defaults unless specified) First 3 Tab settings: (Display = this screen if more than 1) Correction: Spectral: LCD PFS Phosphor WLED family, mode: LCD (generic) Whitepoint: 6500k, Daylight (slightly warmer than Bright/White) White Level: Left this As Measured. Will be set via Brightness control on first measurement. My eye comfort Brightness of 38 gave me an initial cd/m = 114 (will go down a bit after). Good for this run. Tone Curve: Gamma 2.2, Relative Calibration Speed: Medium (faster left some odd color hues (green/blue)) Testchart: Auto-optimized (I do this every time, just to be safe) On the first measurement screen, note or adjust the cd/m brightness at the bottom. Because the software will adjust the curves to hit the color temp setting, this will float a little (i.e. blue gun reduction). My initial 114 ended up at around 110 according to the report. Color Temp at 6491k, aRGB at 98.2%. Good enough for my eyes. I had noticed on that first measurement screen that adjusting the Brightness control little bits didn’t move the the individual gun mix that much, but larger moves did. Seemed to have places around every 5+ clicks that the color guns would jump and change the mix more dramatically. I concluded adjusting the brightness a little for eye comfort wouldn’t screw up the calibration too much, but bigger 7-10 click moves would. Without the UC this screen rates about a zero. With it and the ability to software cal it, overall about a 3.5 since many (all but 1) bios settings are color distorted on the sides (including hardware cal) makes them of little/no use. Because of the price advantage over others and decent Dell Warranty/Support, I’ll round it up to a 4. With UC + DisplayCal it’s a good screen value.

Very sharp monitor, and pretty good color for the price.

Can only run 2 computers, not 4. The switching between computers is too cumbersome. You have to hit contrl alt and an f key. It also does not allow enough time to switch to the other computer before W10 shuts off, so I have to use the manual buttons on the front, which are also a pain. It is not set up to run on w7, as advertised. My old Viewsonic is much easier to set up and switch to the second computer via one hard button on the front. Picture is very good, and it is much cooler than my old monitors.
