Our Verdict
The Dell U2719D is a decent monitor for most uses. The great stand and wide viewing angles are great for office work, and the 1440p, 27" screen is great for gaming or multitasking. Unfortunately, it doesn't look as good in a dark room and has few additional features.
- Great ergonomics.
- Outstanding accuracy out of the box.
- Can't produce deep, uniform blacks.
- Limited gaming features.
This is a good monitor for office use. It has decent viewing angles, and the 27" 1440p screen delivers a good amount of screen real estate. The stand has great ergonomics, and can easily be adjusted to an ideal viewing position.
This is a good, but basic, monitor for gaming. It has an excellent response time and low input lag, but lacks any advanced gaming features, like FreeSync or G-SYNC. The 1440p, 27" screen allows you to see more fine details in your favorite games, which is great.
This is a decent monitor for multimedia. The screen has a great resolution and size, which is great for watching videos, and it has wide viewing angles, great for watching the latest trending videos with some friends. Unfortunately, like most IPS monitors, it doesn't look as good in a dark room.
This is a decent monitor for media creation. The high-resolution screen allows you to see more of you work at once, and the wide viewing angles and swivel feature make it easy to share your work with coworkers or your clients. It also has an excellent SDR color gamut, but only decent coverage of the wider Adobe RGB color space, which isn't ideal for professional photo editing.
The Dell Ultrasharp U2719D doesn't support HDR. For a good HDR gaming monitor, check out the Samsung CHG70.

The U2719DX is identical but includes an HDMI cable instead of a DisplayPort cable. The U2719DC is also identical but has a single USB-C port, which supports power delivery up to 60W.

We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
