saturnotakuI have the Dell S2716DG. I thought I could live with it, but I hate this TN panel. I can move my head up and down slightly (in a "nod yes" motion) and there is a dramatic difference in color shift and viewability from any spot to another spot a couple inches down. Heavens forbid any part of the background is dark. The viewing angles are atrociously horrible. This is the first monitor of any size or panel type I have ever bought that I completely dislike. If it had a curved screen, it might be better in bringing the viewing angle into a better perspective by bringing it more toward the user across the entire panel side to side. It wouldn't help the issue viewing top to bottom. This is also the first and only monitor I have ever purchased to have dead pixels happen at all, let alone show up within a few months of purchase. Unfortunately, it's not enough for warranty repair or replacement.

QuestorsWhat hardware revision is your panel? If it's A03 or A04, those are known to have issues of various kinds. A02 is the best, though they're getting very thin on the ground. The latest I know of is A07, but I haven't had a chance to look at one.

QuestorsThat's another bad one. If you still have the monitor, I would contact Dell and ask for a replacement.

The only reason to consider this Lenovo is if you want the curved screen, though I fail to see the point of such a feature on a non-ultrawide.
