The Dell Ultrasharp InfinityEdge U2417H means business, and that's both literally and metaphorically. This is clearly more of a TFT for professional users than entertainment users – unless you have the job of creating entertainment.
So if you're looking for your next gaming monitor this probably isn't the best option. However, there is plenty to commend it. The image quality is great out of the box, without the need to adjust anything, although there are plenty of options for adjustment and colour matching for professional work.
The screen doesn't have a huge number of inputs – just one each of the main contemporary digital options of DisplayPort, mini-DisplayPort and HDMI. The most unique option here is the MST-compatible DisplayPort output, allowing multiple TFTs to be daisy-chained off a single DisplayPort output.
Again, this probably won't be particularly significant for the gamer, but if you're building a multi-display array then the reduction in cable mess is a boon. It's also always good to see a USB hub built into a screen, particularly a USB 3.0 one, even if its inclusion is nothing unusual.
Overall, the Dell Ultrasharp InfinityEdge U2417H is a solid piece of TFT engineering. It's more work than play, but it's quietly good at its intended role.

Kitguru Says: The Dell Ultrasharp InfinityEdge U2417H looks cool with its skinny bezel, and image quality is great. It's not the perfect gaming companion, but if you're after colour accuracy out of the box this monitor delivers.
Hello! Thank you for the review of Dell u2417h. I’m thinking to buy a Dell u2415 or u2417h for photo editing. Which you recommend for this? I like u2415 resolution, and for the u2417h I like it’s design and the power consumption. Or maybe other models on max 250-300 dolars?

Just so I have this right….. you review a monitor that has the biggest selling point of a small bezel and there is not a single image of it turned on and showing the bezel?
