27" is small?

I personally am not crazy about the silver case. I would rather it be black. But that's just me and means nothing in terms of image quality, or your preference.

Before buying from Amazon, verify what you are getting. I note the specs published on Amazon say "240 volts". They also say, "1 A batteries required"! ??? Assuming seems to be getting me into trouble more often these days, but I assume Amazon is wrong - again.

I see the
  • Sceptre U275W-UPT is 4K ($180 on Amazon)
  • KOORUI 4K/N07 is 4K ($161 after the Amazon coupon)
but I trust Dell more when it comes to monitors.

It's alright, just don't watch movies on it. But while on every count it's not great, it's still better than the cheap AOC 4K panel I also had in contrast and colors. Also there's a weird "temporary burn-in" effect: pictures that have been static on the screen for a while remain as slowly fading silhouettes for around 10-15 seconds, depending on the color and time they've been on screen. Response time is okay but it's still a cheap 60hz IPS.
