Does this monitor have overheating problem, I heard some dell 30inch runs very hot?

i purchased my first 30" ultrasharp bout 5years ago and have never had issues; they run warm but i yet to have a problem with it

I've never noticed any heating at all even after several hours of use. I've left it on and the auto shut down comes on and the monitor is left cool.

It generates a bit of heat yes, but I've never had it overheat. Max ambient temp I used it in was I think 32C.

I imagine it could but mine has not had that problem. I have two of them. I can play Skyrim on for 4 or 5 hours with no problem. The other has problems that half of the screen will turn another color when it goes into hybernation at times. My best advice is to cut off the monitors when you cut your computers off. I have found Dell since there are few people on US soil has few people to help you now that you can truly understand.

My monitor does get noticeably warm to the touch if left on for extended periods (We're talking 8+ hours), but I haven't found it to cause any problems. And it seems to cool down very quickly from being warm. None of the heat emanates from the screen itself, but from the back. I'm only an average to slightly advanced tech user, but I don't think this monitor is overly warm as compared to anything else that is left running for long periods of time.

I have had my monitor for 6 months and have not had any trouble with overheating. In fact, I just touched the back of it to make sure I wasn't oblivious, and it's not even warm to the touch. I love this monitor!

good question ray. all 30" monitors run hot. Apple, Hewlett Packard and Dell all are hot. i have window fans to bring in cool air outside because i have six 30" monitors

I haven't had trouble with the screen, it is bright enough and the dimmer has a variety of options to adjust the brightness. Regarding the temperature I use my Alienware daily for school (including CPU intensive programs like ArcGis) and leisure and it doesn't get extremely hot. If you use it for a long time and with CPU intensive programs it will get hot, but the cooling system works just fine.

I game with it and it does get hot, not hot enough to shut down as some speculate but enough to lag your game. This problem is easily solved with an external cooling solution.

I have had monitor for about 4-5 months I think now and no burn-in. This typically does nto happen with LCD's too much anyway. The only lighting issue is if the screen background is white it is BRIGHT in dark room. Calbrate the colors and it is wonderful monitor. Although the response rate is not as good as some monitors I play FPS's on it with no noticible blurring or other issues. I love the monitor and would buy two more to do an array if I had the money and deskspace.

Mine is warm to the touch but not excessive. The power supply is very warm though. I am going to look for a new one to replace it. Hope this helps.

I've never experienced any heat issues. It's a solid laptop; I use for both work and personal.

I have had my two for over a year with no issues. Gaming, Video Editing and photography are my main uses and it hold up pretty well. AOC did a good job on this monitor.

Yes, it does run hot and there we're times I felt like my hand was going to burn on certain places of the laptop. It only runs hot when I'm gaming for hours tho. I have not reached 100C as of yet. I put a fan underneath the laptop and can get around 85C, has spiked to 95C here and there then goes back down. I'm extremely happy with my purchase tho. :)

I'm not sure I understand the question about the warranty. However, if you purchase a new monitor it will come with the Dell Manufacturer's Warranty and Dell Support. I've had my monitor constantly running since I purchased 4 or 5 years ago and had no issues. Note that this was also a replacement monitor for another large LCD that died well after 5 years or service. I expect this monitor to continue for another couple of years or longer

Sorry you are experiencing issues. We had none. We hooked it up and both monitors are displaying just fine.

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

Yea, I have a very similar pc as yours. It runs very well. It can run almost all the major games. I often play LOL and it runs very smoothly at the highest settings. But make sure you have a &gt;= 400 watts power supply. My dell came with a 320 watts without an extra plug for graphic card. So I also changed my power supply.

It can run pretty hot, but I've never had any performance issues from overheating. If you're really that worried about it, buy a cheap cooling pad. Mine cools it down easily even while gaming.

I have had no problem HOWEVER, it depends on the specific laptop also. I have had no problems at all up to 1-2 hours of use with my dell. My daughter, however, has an HP which it seems has a overheating problem anyway and she needed a base with a USB supported dual fan system.

The laptop does not get hot and the fan is not at all loud. I have trouble concentrating if there are loud noises in the room when I am writing my book. I don't even notice the fan, so, it is very quiet. If you got the cash and are on the fence for getting this laptop, let me tell you, get it! I searched Bestbuy and Fry's electronics and even online sales. This configuration is your best bang for your buck from Amazon, in features and looks. I mean, it just looks so much better than everything else out there. This laptop is LOADED with features. I am a cheap, picky tech guy, so...............trust me, I did our homework to find the ultimate machine. Don't forget, this is the I7 chip with 8 gig on the board, backlite keys, high def webcam, TOUCHSCREEN, dvd writer, double 3.0 usb ports and one 2.0 port, HDMI out, VGA out! I got the laptop almost 2 months ago and it was the best deal then. I haven't re-researched to see what is out there being that I spent over 800$. So, you would have to let me know about that end of it. Windows 8.1 is fine. I use the desktop option and it looks and feels like I am running in XP. That is the operating system I am transitioning off from. I hope this helps. Also, I am SUPER HAPPY with it! If there are any iffy reviews, those people are just hating on it! Also, the chip has the integrated HD 4600 graphics card! I am in the process of hooking up "3" EXTRA monitors up to my laptop. 2 external monitors and one HD LCD monitor. I am confident the laptop can handle it! This thing is a BEAST!
