> 3 dayThis monitor is a total fail due to the DPBS (Dell Power Button Sync) feature that cant be disabled. I was very excited when I found this monitor that would allow me to remove from clutter and cables from my desk. The goal was to eliminate a docking station and KVM switch...both of which are built into this monitor. My plan was to plug my personal desktop into the Display port and my work laptop into the USB-C port with the 90w of power. On paper this monitor can do that...but in execution there is a major flaw. This monitor also has a feature called DPBS (Dell Power Button Sync) which links the monitors power button to the Dell power button on my work laptop. With both machines plugged in I cant turn just the monitor off or else it will turn my work laptop off. I have to unplug my laptop and then I need another power source. There is not way to disable this absolutely stupid feature which is counter productive to the built in docking station and KVM. If you plan to actually use this feature look elsewhere. If you dont need this feature then look elsewhere. You can find better monitors for less. If Dell would give us the option to remove this feature it would be a totally different review.

> 3 dayI was so excited to get two of these monitors as they came with high ratings. I also had two of their older monitors and was using them with a docking station. Having the docking station and kvm switch built in had me pretty excited for the reduced desk clutter and cables. Unfortunately, their monitors cannot be daisy chained (laptop USB-C to monitor 1, from DisplayPort out on monitor 1 to DisplayPort in on monitor 2). What ended up happening is my mac would only see one Dell monitor resulting in the display for both being mirrored. In order to use these I would also need to use my existing docking station and then wouldnt be able to utilize the KVM switch. Why waste all that money and not be able to utilize these monitors with their features? I may as well by two dumb monitors and use the docking station I have. I am returning these. I wish Dell would have built this capability into their docks.

> 3 dayI also purchased the 27 version because it was much less money, however, was to much resolution for such a small size. This 31 has the same resolution but is better suited for this size and a 40-hour work week of coding and CAD. I dont game so cant comment on that aspect of use.
