Pro Fully adjustable
It has tilt, swivel, height adjust and can be pivoted 90 degrees in both directions.
Pro Great for multi-monitor setups
The thin plastic bezel (1mm) and small 6mm screen boarder makes this a great screen to put side by side with another to minimise the deadspace between dual monitor setups. Also, an extra DisplayPort out means daisy chaining is possible.
Pro Fantastic screen quality
Dell calibrates the U2715H's screen in the factory to very precise measurements, and each monitor will have their own unique calibration report.
Cons
Con Requires a pin to adjust height
There are more elegant solutions on the market that don't require a piece that can easily be lost.
Con Buttons can be unresponsive
The captive buttons on the right side of the bottom bezel don't light up at all, and can be unresponsive when you first try to activate them.
Con Poor panel uniformity
While this will vary unit to unit, TFT Central found that the luminance uniformity on their unit was poor. The right side of the screen was up to 30% brighter than the left corners of the screen. It wasn't obvious at first glance, however for color-accurate work it could become an issue.
