Key strengths
The stand offers 110 mm of height travel, −5° to +21° tilt, ±30° swivel and ±90° pivot.
Dual 3 W speakers are built in, and the 144 Hz QHD panel supports AMD FreeSync and HDMI VRR with a 1 ms MPRT claim.
Dell lists 21.4 W operating power, ENERGY STAR 8.0 and a 4-star TÜV eye-comfort certification. The UK listing carries a three-year warranty with Advanced Exchange; the US listing carries one year.
Before you buy
There is no USB hub, USB-C or headphone/audio output, so laptop single-cable docking and wired headphones are not supported.
The IPS panel is rated at 99% sRGB (CIE 1931), with 8-bit colour on the US listing, and neither Dell page lists HDR support.
Only one HDMI and one DisplayPort input are provided, and HDCP is listed at version 1.4.
