Hello! Thanks for the awesome review! You didn't mention anything about the 75Hz, does it works with the USB-C cable included in the box. Is some difference with 60Hz?
Hi Roman, By default the monitor runs 60Hz refresh rate when I plug in the monitor using USB-C cable to my Asus Zenbook Laptop. I went into Windows 11, System, Display, Advance Display settings and I manage to change this monitor refresh rate to run at 75Hz, and yes it can run 75Hz with the USB-C cable included in the box. I don't really do gaming so 60 and 75 Hz does not make a huge difference to me, can't really see the difference. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for letting me know. It means a lot to me receiving such feedback. Makes all my effort making this video worthwhile. Yes this monitor is so good, I bought a second one for my dual monitor setup.
I like the part you talk about the stand in details, I once try to save a few dollars and bought this monitor without the full functional stand (only with a tiny stand which has almost no movement at all ) , that was silly. Very good details of this monitor from your video, also great tip on purchasing Dell's product when there is a sale 😄
Hi oscarchong, yes Dell's monitor stand is pretty good. I have been using Dell monitors for more than 20 years, so can see how they keep on enhancing their design. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Glad you find the video useful.
Hi Nitish HP, it's messages like yours that motivates me to keep making videos for all of you. So glad my video is useful to you. Thanks so much for letting me know.

Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв. Теперь я знаю, что важно для моих зрителей. Thank you very much for your feedback. Now I know what's important to my viewers.
I live in the UK and just bought the Dell S2722DC QHD monitor today, i like it ,the only difference from yours is no blinking light in Standby , just light on for on and light off for Standby, I like the way Samsung monitors operate in this regard, the have the light on in Standby and light off while in operation.
Hi Aleksey, Thanks for the compliment, glad you like the video. Do you think US$350 is a good price? If you follow my affiliate link to amazon ( amzn.to/3BOPqTT ) , it's selling for US$426 at the moment, so maybe $350 is a good price?
Great review, thanks a lot! One question about daisy chaining 2 of these monitors: If I would use the USB -C cable on the first monitor, this means I wouldn't need an extra power cable right? Could I then daisy chain to the second monitor via Display Port?
That's a good idea. To be honest, I haven't tried that before so I am not sure if that will work. Hopefully someone else who has tried this can comment on this thread?
Hi, great video review, nice voice. I plan to use it with a PC, I have a USB Type-C connector and also have hdmi, in your opinion which connector is better to connect to the PC? Thank you
Hey, nice video ! For the display scaling presented at 6:20, it is just a question of scaling, isn´t? That is something what you can change in display setting. I guess on left monitor scaling is 150% and on right is 125%. Thanks
Hi, not exactly. I am showing both monitors at 100% scale in the video. We can use the QHD (right monitor) to scale down to FHD (1980x1080) but we cannot use the FHD (left monitor) to scale up to QHD resolution (2560 x 1440). Hope this make sense.
@@SkyPerspective I think it should be possible to get both monitors to display things at the same size. The difference would be that the QHD monitor would display more detail.
@@SkyPerspective My point is that in the present modern era both Windows and MacOS have integrated scaling technologies and so users can scale the image as they please. Fixed hardware resolution of displays is another matter entirely...
Thanks for this great review. I have two questions : 1/ can we connect two PCs (or one pc via hdmi and one laptop vua usb-c) and have them both displayed in split screen at the same time ? 2/ if a laptop is connected via usb-c for charging only , and we use the master PC via hdmi at full screen then the additional USB ports are they available to the master PC or are they automatically allocated to the device connected to the usb c ?
Hi LS, I missed your comment. Sorry about the late reply. 1) No, not that I know of. I tried to look for ways to do that, but I can't do it. I am also using two laptop with one monitor, one connected via USB-C the other via HDMI. 2) The USB ports are always connected to the computer that is connected to the USB-C port. HDMI only carries display and audio signals, it cannot transfer USB data.
@@SkyPerspective Is that mean when you switch between 2 laptops, you have to change the plugin of the mouse to another laptop? :( If this is correct, it's alittle inconvinient :/
I tried same like you, but when I switch the laptop, the mouse is alway connected to the laptop with USB-C connection. I try another way by plugin the USB mouse to the monitor, but it's not work for the HDMI laptop.
In second video of this monitor we will see some image/video and display details? Blooming, bleeding, colours, etc. ? I can't decide between Dell and this Lenovo: LED IPS LENOVO Q27H-10, 27", QHD, 75Hz Thanks!
I am not an expert, but I don't see any bleeding and the colours are accurate for this S2722DC compared to my laptop monitors. Both Lenovo and Dell are very close in terms of specs. I would suggest think about the warranty and after sales support you get between Lenovo and Dell in your country. One of my dell monitor has issues within it's three years warranty and they replaced it with a brand new one. I like the stand design of Lenovo. Hope I am not making it more confusing. 🙂
I had S2725DC as the new latest option..but that one didnt have USB type C and not even USB type A, or AMD freesync..so without that I cannot connect firestick..so I ordered this one even though its 2 year old was a better option than that on the same price..
Hi Jefurï , I am not very sure as I don't have the latest macbook to try it out. My guess would be it should work with Macbook at least for the display and the extra USB ports on the monitor. In terms of charging the Macbook via USB-C, it will charge if 65W is enough to charge the Macbook. Maybe someone with a Macbook can confirm this better than me.
@@james2008957 For display, I am not very sure. Unfortunately I don't have a MacBook to test this out for you. Hopefully someone can confirm this after they see this comment thread.
I don't have that problem. If you watch my recent desk setup videos where I have this monitor as my main monitor in the background, I am using the original monitor stand. Whenever I adjust my standing desk, it doesn't wobble much. Having said that my standing desk is pretty stable and the monitor is not set to its maximum height. It shouldn't wobble too much even when it's at highest position.
If compared with Acer BL270U Graphic Monitor (27Inch/ 2K (2560x1440)/ 4ms/ 75HZ/ 350cd/m2/ IPS/ Speaker) which monitor should I buy? The price of the Acer BL270U monitor at my place is about 41 USD cheaper than this Dell monitor. I am using an asus fx 506L i7 laptop @@SkyPerspective
@@8790channel Both monitors are good, but if I were to choose, I would easily choose Dell over Acer. The main reason is product support. Dell product support is much easier in Australia. Check in your country. Second reason is there isn't much info about this Acer monitor so difficult to find solutions if we hit any issues. And lastly, I don't think the Acer BL270U has USB-C charging does it?
Great review! I have a question: Can we connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports on the monitor? I want to use two laptops with this monitor and have a wired mouse and keyboard. I’m wondering if I can plug the keyboard and mouse into the USB ports on the monitor and then switch between the laptops by changing the USB-C cable, without needing to reconnect the keyboard and mouse each time.
The usb c cable should come in the box, so ask Dell support why it is not in the box. If you bought 2nd hand then you will need to make sure you get a usb c cable that is capable of power delivery (PD) of up to 65W, and can do data transfer and monitor display. Check out Amazon.
I have the S2721H and on youtube videos looks like on 1080p video is gettin very poor quality mostly like 360p fog aspect same on movies and videogames looks prty bad too I wonder if I get a QHD is going to look a lot better both of them are 27inch
Most likely not and might be worse. The quality of both these Dell monitor panels are about the same. And with S2722DC QHD, the 1080p videos need to scale up to 2560x1440 pixels when full screen. Better to stay with S2721 1080p. If you want better resolution, go for a higher class series like Dell P or U series and avoid the S series. Or go for gaming monitors.
The monitors that have qhd resolution i would rather scale it to 150% in windows settings, but if i connect a laptop to this monitor i want my laptop to keep theirs 100% scale. Is that possible?
Two years ago, Dell has P2723DE also 27" and QHD but priced at RM1500++ vs the S2722DC around RM1000. Any idea of the difference? P2723DE has a USB hub but doesn't S2722DC has a hub of sorts too?
There are two ways we can run Dex: (1) plugging the monitor directly to the phone and let the phone display Dex on the monitor; and (2) connect the phone to a desktop PC or laptop and run Dex as a window within the desktop PC or laptop. The monitor is connected to the desktop PC or laptop in this case. With (1), we would connect and pair the keyboard and mouse to the phone using Bluetooth. With (2), we would connect the keyboard and mouse to the desktop PC or laptop. Hope this make sense.
Hi thanks for your review. Do you know if it’s possible to turn off charging via USB-C in usage mode? Also comparing to my other Dell Monitor s2721ds the S2722DC screen looks really dull out of the box and the white is not really white. Did you notice that with your device?
I think it may have to do with this model lacking HDR support. I am investigating. Edit: Probably not because the 2721DS seems to lack HDR also. But I heard this sort of compaint before. Keep us updated on your experience will you?
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just wondering if I can buy two of these monitors and connect to XPS laptop (via thunderbolt 4 and thunderbolt 4 to HDMI). Cheers
Hi Son Ngoc Pham Tu, yes I am pretty sure you can do that. In fact this is how I have set it up for my new work from home set up. I have got two of these Dell S2722DC monitor connected to my Asus Zenbook laptop (1 via USB-C and 1 via HDMI-USB-C). Have a look at this ruclips.net/video/qud7tbGAOsM/видео.html I plan to make an extended video of this desk set up some time in future.
@@SkyPerspective I love your desk setup. The idea of connecting 2 laptops (from work and home) to the two Dell S2722 DC monitors is amazing. Please make a video and share as I am planning yo upgrade my workstation. Dell 2722DC vs 2721DS, i reckon you would go for the 2722DC for this setup because it would save you the dock and less wires?
@@sonngocphamtu1560 Exactly right. the S2722DC with it's USB-C connection is like a dock, and the monitors charges both my laptops means I don't need power cords to my laptops. Yes ok, I will try to make the video soon.
Hello! Is it possible to switch signal sources sequentially using one shortcut key? In my case between HDMI1(win PC), HDMI2 (XBOX) and USB-C (MacBook Air M1). Thank you in advance!
Yes, we can program the shortcut key to be switching the input source. Go to the monitor's menu look for Personalize then choose either Shortcut Key 1 or 2 and choose "Input : Auto". In that settings you can make it Auto or choose that specific shortcut to be the source for HDMI1 or HDMI2 or USB-C.
May i know is the color between S2722DC and S2721H look similar ? I am thinking to get S2722DC as main and S2721H as my 2nd portrait monitor, but worry if both colors look very different
I am not a 100% sure but they are both IPS panel and has the same 16 million colours, so you should be alright? Oh and their backlight are W-LED, so they should be quite similar. This is only my guess.
Hi Praveenram, I haven't tried that before so not 100% sure, but I think you should be able to do that. The USB-C will make the monitor act like a USB hub and let you connect keyboards and thumb drives to the monitor. Hopefully someone who has used this monitor with a Mac can confirm this.
Hello! Thanks for doing the great review ! Can I ask what if I don’t have the USB-c port in my laptop. How would I connect it to the monitor ? Would you suggest getting a monitor without the USB-c function instead ? E.g. S2721DS And one last question if you don’t mind, did you purchase this from dell Australia or other electronic shops like Harvey Norman , jb hifi Thanks
Hi Kenny, If you don't have a USB-C port on your laptop, you can connect using HDMI assuming you have HDMI port on your laptop? What's the port available on your laptop? If VGA port, then you may want to consider getting the SE series like the SE2422H ( ruclips.net/video/GONBftEJTTo/видео.html ) Yes, if you don't really make use of the USB-C port to expand your peripherals, then no point getting this S2722DC if you can get the S2721DS at a cheaper price. However, you may also want to consider if your will be upgrading your laptop during the lifespan of you using your new monitor. Your next laptop most likely will have a USB-C (charging) port, then the USB-C port on S2722DC will come in handy. I purchased all my monitors from Dell Australia website (when they are on discount) and they post the monitors to me. Really convenient, and they have a record for my warranty.
@@SkyPerspective I see! Thank you so much for your reply and suggestion! I guess it make sense, maybe I should spend alittle bit more and gonna wait for the sales promotion too! Thank you so much for your reply! :)
This monitor is going great, no issues at all. It's so good to the extend that I bought a second one. I am using two of these S2722DC on my main desk currently.
@@emmanuelsibal7248 you can connect one monitor with usb-c and the other monitor with hdmi cable. Or you could connect it with 2 hdmi cables but then they won't be able to charge a laptop and to charge it you would need to use laptop's power cable
Hi Jackson, I am not very sure, but I think Dell monitor daisy chain only works with Display ports. Have a read on this article: www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000128707/how-to-daisy-chain-multiple-monitors-using-displayport-multi-stream-transport-mst
Hi Wilson, I don't have a hub to test that out for you, but I would assume it will work. Most hub these days should work with our laptop and plugging in the monitor to the hub is a typical way of connecting. Using a hub defeats the purpose of this USB-C monitor though. The good thing about this monitor is we don't need a hub. Hope this helps.
Honestly I am partial colour blind so take my comment with a grain of salt. According to Dell specs, it can do 16.7 million colours and covers 99% of sRGB colours. I have used it to create thumbnails for my RUclips video and the colours are quite accurate when I see the same picture on my other devices such as my beautiful Samsung s21 screen and galaxy tab s6 tablet. I use GIMP and canva to edit my photos. It's good.
If you plug in the webcam into the monitor using the monitor's USB A port, you need to make sure you connect the monitor's USB-C port to your computer's USB-C port. Hope this helps.
I have already bought one, but it doesnt’t have all the options you show, there’s no Comfort View nor the choice of not charging with the usb-c, is it a matter of the firmware?? Mine is M3B201. Thanks and Congrats for the review!
@@SkyPerspective I spoke with them and they told me that I couldn’t do anything, that probably the model is not exactly the same as yours… So strange, maybe a matter of different versions depending on the country… I don’t know. Thanks anyway.
Hi! Thank you very much for your video, it really helped me a lot and pushed me to buy this monitor! I'd like to ask you how did you manage to have on the same display the computer and the tablet (tabs9ultra)...thank you in advance!
Hi Tori, yes it should. I checked the spec of your Asus Vivobook and it has Thunderbolt™ 4 supports display / power delivery and the laptop charges using 65W input, so it's exactly what this Dell monitor can do. I am about to launch another desk set up video which I talk about this monitor, and how my Asus Zenbook Duo can run 2 of these. Yes I bought another one of this monitor. 🙂
Is it true that this monitor is the same as s2722dz except for the camera? I really need a monitor and only the dz is available in my country (I can't find any reviews on it)
I think the ports are different. The DZ has a HDMI and a Display port where as the DC has 2 HDMI ports instead. Apart from that they are pretty much the same, of course with the difference of the camera like you mentioned. You can compare them on these following link. S2722DZ www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-27-video-conferencing-monitor-s2722dz/apd/210-bccx/monitors-monitor-accessories S2722DC www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-27-usb-c-monitor-s2722dc/apd/210-bcct/monitors-monitor-accessories
Depends on what you mean by docking station. With the single USB C cable connected to monitor, we can connect USB A devices like mouse to the monitor. And the monitor charges the laptop. The monitor is acting like a "dock" however you cannot connect a second monitor to this monitor. Hope this helps.
Depends on what you need from a "docking station". If you plug in the monitor USB-C cable to your laptop, like a docking station, it charges your laptop and provide you a couple of extra USB ports on the monitor. However, you cannot plug in other monitors to this monitor like a docking station. And it doesn't have a RJ45 ethernet port like some docking station has. Hope this helps.
Hi there, I wanted to ask which monitor to pair up with my 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch? I have 2 options: Dell S2722DC or S2721DS. I have the budget to go for either, but want to get my money's worth. Why is there a £100 difference if there is no spec difference and is it really worth my money getting the £100 more expensive monitor? this is urgent, so if anyone knows, it would be a big help thank you
Hi Sameer, the main difference is the interface. The S2722DC has USB C connection which allows you to connect and charge your laptop easily and the S2721DS has a display port instead. If you don't use laptop and will be connecting this monitor to a desktop, then you don't need the USB C charging feature on the S2722DC. Hope this helps.
whats the PPI for this monitor, also is it a 8 bit or 10 bit display? If possible please do share experience with macbook air, i have changed 2 displays still finding a right one...
@@SkyPerspective Thanks for answering me, the S2721DS is older, it's from 2020, as for video quality I think it's lower than the S2722DC, I'm not interested in USB-C charging, the P2722HE is a FULL-HD
For newer laptops, you can either use HDMI port or USB C port. So if your laptop has one of each or two USB C ports, you can connect to two monitors directly.
If compared with Acer BL270U Graphic Monitor (27Inch/ 2K (2560x1440)/ 4ms/ 75HZ/ 350cd/m2/ IPS/ Speaker) which monitor should I buy? The price of the Acer BL270U monitor at my place is about 41 USD cheaper than this Dell monitor. I am using an asus fx 506L i7 laptop @SkyPerspective
I am using S2722DZ in my office and I can say it's pretty much the same with S2722DC. Same resolution, same panel, same casing and everything. The only differences are DZ has HDMI and display port where as DC has two HDMI slots. And obviously the DZ has a web cam and the DC doesn't. The web cam has a pretty wide angle and it's pretty decent, but I am using a another dedicated web cam so I can adjust the angle the web cam is point at me as well as how far away from me. Hope this helps.
@@SkyPerspective many thanks for the reply. Just two questions more questions. As i confused about my purchase. 1) should i buy monitor with out camera? 2) or is S2722DZ worth it?
Hi there, yes based on the 16.7 million colours listed on the spec, I suspect its only 8 bits panel. Maybe others who knows more than me can correct me if I am wrong.
Such a good question, and yes I forgot to cover that. For my Samsung Galaxy S21 at 2:14, it is only 1080p (1980 x 1080 ). Thanks for asking this question.
Hi Esteban, I am not really a gamer so take my word with a grain of salt. It's a good monitor for casual gaming like Minecraft because it can do 75Hz refresh rate and has AMD FreeSync. To be honest, I would not recommend this for serious gamer as it is not made for that. It's for laptop and home office users.
It's been a while since I bought this monitor so I am not sure. If I remember correctly, I believe it comes with one USB-C to USB-C cable only, no HDMI cable.
Haha I forgot, didn't I? I showed a bit when I talked about the ball bearings. What is it about the height adjustments that you would like to know about?
The P2723DE has 90W power delivery. Also I notice it uses WLED edgelight backlight, whatever that means. P series monitors are better than S series in general. P stands for Professional apparently.
@@SkyPerspective I went for S2722DC. It has 65W power delivery which is enough for me and comparing them online, both monitors have WLED backlight source, same sRGB percentage and same max number of colors. Also, I don't need the additional ports of P2723DE and I saved 100 euros.
@@ben-ric Oh that Dex set up. Yes, the keyboard and mouse are connected to the phone directly via bluetooth. No other computer involved. Keyboard and mouse connect to phone, phone drives monitor.
They are pretty much the same except the qc is ultra high definition UHD. It depends on whether you want a UHD high resolution monitor where you can see more but everything looks a lot smaller, or you want a QHD resolution monitor. Personally UHD is too high resolution for me, and my laptop or computer that runs it will need to work harder and might slow down and become laggy. This is why I go for QHD which is good enough for my usage. Hope this helps.
Hi Rogan25, yes, you can plug the USB keyboard and mouse to the monitor, and connect the monitor to your computer using the USB C cable. The keyboard and mouse should then work.
The shitty speakers are ruining this monitor. I can't believe how they couldn't put a pair of cheap speakers with some actual BASS in a 300 $ monitor. Anybody considered DIY replacement of the speakers?
Hello! Thanks for the awesome review! You didn't mention anything about the 75Hz, does it works with the USB-C cable included in the box. Is some difference with 60Hz?
Hi Roman, By default the monitor runs 60Hz refresh rate when I plug in the monitor using USB-C cable to my Asus Zenbook Laptop. I went into Windows 11, System, Display, Advance Display settings and I manage to change this monitor refresh rate to run at 75Hz, and yes it can run 75Hz with the USB-C cable included in the box.
I don't really do gaming so 60 and 75 Hz does not make a huge difference to me, can't really see the difference. Hope this helps.

Hi, not exactly. I am showing both monitors at 100% scale in the video. We can use the QHD (right monitor) to scale down to FHD (1980x1080) but we cannot use the FHD (left monitor) to scale up to QHD resolution (2560 x 1440). Hope this make sense.
@@SkyPerspective I think it should be possible to get both monitors to display things at the same size. The difference would be that the QHD monitor would display more detail.
@@PeterKoperdan Yes you are right. If you scale QHD down to FHD they would both display the same content size.
@@SkyPerspective My point is that in the present modern era both Windows and MacOS have integrated scaling technologies and so users can scale the image as they please. Fixed hardware resolution of displays is another matter entirely...
@@PeterKoperdan oh I see what you mean now.
Thanks for this great review. I have two questions : 1/ can we connect two PCs (or one pc via hdmi and one laptop vua usb-c) and have them both displayed in split screen at the same time ? 2/ if a laptop is connected via usb-c for charging only , and we use the master PC via hdmi at full screen then the additional USB ports are they available to the master PC or are they automatically allocated to the device connected to the usb c ?
Hi LS, I missed your comment. Sorry about the late reply.
1) No, not that I know of. I tried to look for ways to do that, but I can't do it. I am also using two laptop with one monitor, one connected via USB-C the other via HDMI.
2) The USB ports are always connected to the computer that is connected to the USB-C port. HDMI only carries display and audio signals, it cannot transfer USB data.
@@SkyPerspective Is that mean when you switch between 2 laptops, you have to change the plugin of the mouse to another laptop? :( If this is correct, it's alittle inconvinient :/
I tried same like you, but when I switch the laptop, the mouse is alway connected to the laptop with USB-C connection.
I try another way by plugin the USB mouse to the monitor, but it's not work for the HDMI laptop.
@@leminhtam6132i've read somewhere that you can achieve this with some app/program as long both of your devices are connected to the same network
In second video of this monitor we will see some image/video and display details? Blooming, bleeding, colours, etc. ?
I can't decide between Dell and this Lenovo: LED IPS LENOVO Q27H-10, 27", QHD, 75Hz
Thanks!
I am not an expert, but I don't see any bleeding and the colours are accurate for this S2722DC compared to my laptop monitors. Both Lenovo and Dell are very close in terms of specs. I would suggest think about the warranty and after sales support you get between Lenovo and Dell in your country. One of my dell monitor has issues within it's three years warranty and they replaced it with a brand new one. I like the stand design of Lenovo. Hope I am not making it more confusing. 🙂
I had S2725DC as the new latest option..but that one didnt have USB type C and not even USB type A, or AMD freesync..so without that I cannot connect firestick..so I ordered this one even though its 2 year old was a better option than that on the same price..
It will at least last a few years for you even though this is an old model. Mine is still working very well. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hey ! Thanks for your video. Do you think it works with Macbook as well ?
Hi Jefurï , I am not very sure as I don't have the latest macbook to try it out. My guess would be it should work with Macbook at least for the display and the extra USB ports on the monitor. In terms of charging the Macbook via USB-C, it will charge if 65W is enough to charge the Macbook. Maybe someone with a Macbook can confirm this better than me.
@@SkyPerspective I also am wondering this. Does the c port work with a MacBook for display ㅠㅠ
@@james2008957 For display, I am not very sure. Unfortunately I don't have a MacBook to test this out for you. Hopefully someone can confirm this after they see this comment thread.
I heard that the stand of this monitor is a bit weak and it causes the screen to vibrate (it would be better to use an arm), is that true?
I don't have that problem. If you watch my recent desk setup videos where I have this monitor as my main monitor in the background, I am using the original monitor stand. Whenever I adjust my standing desk, it doesn't wobble much. Having said that my standing desk is pretty stable and the monitor is not set to its maximum height. It shouldn't wobble too much even when it's at highest position.
If compared with Acer BL270U Graphic Monitor (27Inch/ 2K (2560x1440)/ 4ms/ 75HZ/ 350cd/m2/ IPS/ Speaker) which monitor should I buy? The price of the Acer BL270U monitor at my place is about 41 USD cheaper than this Dell monitor. I am using an asus fx 506L i7 laptop @@SkyPerspective
@@8790channel Both monitors are good, but if I were to choose, I would easily choose Dell over Acer. The main reason is product support. Dell product support is much easier in Australia. Check in your country. Second reason is there isn't much info about this Acer monitor so difficult to find solutions if we hit any issues. And lastly, I don't think the Acer BL270U has USB-C charging does it?
Great review! I have a question: Can we connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports on the monitor? I want to use two laptops with this monitor and have a wired mouse and keyboard. I’m wondering if I can plug the keyboard and mouse into the USB ports on the monitor and then switch between the laptops by changing the USB-C cable, without needing to reconnect the keyboard and mouse each time.
Thanks for nice review! Can we connect it with old pc having vga port by using vga to hdmi converter cable?
I haven't tried this before so I am not sure. In theory it should work. Hopefully someone who has tried this can confirm.
Where can I get one of those type c cables? Great review. Just got one albeit without the cable
The usb c cable should come in the box, so ask Dell support why it is not in the box. If you bought 2nd hand then you will need to make sure you get a usb c cable that is capable of power delivery (PD) of up to 65W, and can do data transfer and monitor display. Check out Amazon.
I have the S2721H and on youtube videos looks like on 1080p video is gettin very poor quality mostly like 360p fog aspect same on movies and videogames looks prty bad too I wonder if I get a QHD is going to look a lot better both of them are 27inch
Most likely not and might be worse. The quality of both these Dell monitor panels are about the same. And with S2722DC QHD, the 1080p videos need to scale up to 2560x1440 pixels when full screen. Better to stay with S2721 1080p. If you want better resolution, go for a higher class series like Dell P or U series and avoid the S series. Or go for gaming monitors.
I'm looking at a 27 inch 1440p monitor and can't decide between Phillips 27e1n5600ae or this Dell monitor. Both are going for the same price
The monitors that have qhd resolution i would rather scale it to 150% in windows settings, but if i connect a laptop to this monitor i want my laptop to keep theirs 100% scale. Is that possible?
Two years ago, Dell has P2723DE also 27" and QHD but priced at RM1500++ vs the S2722DC around RM1000. Any idea of the difference? P2723DE has a USB hub but doesn't S2722DC has a hub of sorts too?
Amazing review 👏
Thank you so much. Glad you find it useful.
Could you explain to me how you can use samung dex with keyboard and mouse? How do you connect them to samsung dex?
There are two ways we can run Dex: (1) plugging the monitor directly to the phone and let the phone display Dex on the monitor; and (2) connect the phone to a desktop PC or laptop and run Dex as a window within the desktop PC or laptop. The monitor is connected to the desktop PC or laptop in this case.
With (1), we would connect and pair the keyboard and mouse to the phone using Bluetooth.
With (2), we would connect the keyboard and mouse to the desktop PC or laptop.
Hope this make sense.
Hi thanks for your review. Do you know if it’s possible to turn off charging via USB-C in usage mode?
Also comparing to my other Dell Monitor s2721ds the S2722DC screen looks really dull out of the box and the white is not really white. Did you notice that with your device?
I think it may have to do with this model lacking HDR support. I am investigating. Edit: Probably not because the 2721DS seems to lack HDR also. But I heard this sort of compaint before. Keep us updated on your experience will you?
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just wondering if I can buy two of these monitors and connect to XPS laptop (via thunderbolt 4 and thunderbolt 4 to HDMI). Cheers
Hi Son Ngoc Pham Tu, yes I am pretty sure you can do that. In fact this is how I have set it up for my new work from home set up. I have got two of these Dell S2722DC monitor connected to my Asus Zenbook laptop (1 via USB-C and 1 via HDMI-USB-C). Have a look at this ruclips.net/video/qud7tbGAOsM/видео.html I plan to make an extended video of this desk set up some time in future.
@@SkyPerspective I love your desk setup. The idea of connecting 2 laptops (from work and home) to the two Dell S2722 DC monitors is amazing. Please make a video and share as I am planning yo upgrade my workstation. Dell 2722DC vs 2721DS, i reckon you would go for the 2722DC for this setup because it would save you the dock and less wires?
@@sonngocphamtu1560 Exactly right. the S2722DC with it's USB-C connection is like a dock, and the monitors charges both my laptops means I don't need power cords to my laptops. Yes ok, I will try to make the video soon.
Hello! Is it possible to switch signal sources sequentially using one shortcut key? In my case between HDMI1(win PC), HDMI2 (XBOX) and USB-C (MacBook Air M1). Thank you in advance!
Yes, we can program the shortcut key to be switching the input source. Go to the monitor's menu look for Personalize then choose either Shortcut Key 1 or 2 and choose "Input : Auto". In that settings you can make it Auto or choose that specific shortcut to be the source for HDMI1 or HDMI2 or USB-C.
I cannot figure out how to adjust the height the way you show it.
May i know is the color between S2722DC and S2721H look similar ? I am thinking to get S2722DC as main and S2721H as my 2nd portrait monitor, but worry if both colors look very different
I am not a 100% sure but they are both IPS panel and has the same 16 million colours, so you should be alright? Oh and their backlight are W-LED, so they should be quite similar. This is only my guess.
Can i use this to my macbook pro and attach the keyboards from the montior itselff ?
Hi Praveenram, I haven't tried that before so not 100% sure, but I think you should be able to do that. The USB-C will make the monitor act like a USB hub and let you connect keyboards and thumb drives to the monitor. Hopefully someone who has used this monitor with a Mac can confirm this.
Hello! Thanks for doing the great review ! Can I ask what if I don’t have the USB-c port in my laptop. How would I connect it to the monitor ?
Would you suggest getting a monitor without the USB-c function instead ? E.g. S2721DS
And one last question if you don’t mind, did you purchase this from dell Australia or other electronic shops like Harvey Norman , jb hifi
Thanks
Hi Kenny, If you don't have a USB-C port on your laptop, you can connect using HDMI assuming you have HDMI port on your laptop? What's the port available on your laptop? If VGA port, then you may want to consider getting the SE series like the SE2422H ( ruclips.net/video/GONBftEJTTo/видео.html )
Yes, if you don't really make use of the USB-C port to expand your peripherals, then no point getting this S2722DC if you can get the S2721DS at a cheaper price. However, you may also want to consider if your will be upgrading your laptop during the lifespan of you using your new monitor. Your next laptop most likely will have a USB-C (charging) port, then the USB-C port on S2722DC will come in handy.
I purchased all my monitors from Dell Australia website (when they are on discount) and they post the monitors to me. Really convenient, and they have a record for my warranty.
@@SkyPerspective I see! Thank you so much for your reply and suggestion! I guess it make sense, maybe I should spend alittle bit more and gonna wait for the sales promotion too!
Thank you so much for your reply! :)
@@kennywan9933 You are very welcome. Glad I can help.
Hi, it has been 10 months since you posted this video. How are you finding the monitor nowadays? Cheers.
This monitor is going great, no issues at all. It's so good to the extend that I bought a second one. I am using two of these S2722DC on my main desk currently.
Hi! I am looking to get 2 monitors for my laptop. How did you connect the 2 monitors to your laptop?
@@emmanuelsibal7248 you can connect one monitor with usb-c and the other monitor with hdmi cable. Or you could connect it with 2 hdmi cables but then they won't be able to charge a laptop and to charge it you would need to use laptop's power cable
May I please ask how do you run daisy chain with your older monitor? do you need a HDMI splitter in this case? Thank you in advance :)
Hi Jackson, I am not very sure, but I think Dell monitor daisy chain only works with Display ports. Have a read on this article: www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000128707/how-to-daisy-chain-multiple-monitors-using-displayport-multi-stream-transport-mst
Hi! Can you use one keyboard and mouse by plugging the adapter directly to the usb a screen port and not to the laptop?😊
I believe it won't work as it is a display unit
Have you tried connecting from a usb c hub instead of directly from phone/laptop usb c? Will it work?
Hi Wilson, I don't have a hub to test that out for you, but I would assume it will work. Most hub these days should work with our laptop and plugging in the monitor to the hub is a typical way of connecting. Using a hub defeats the purpose of this USB-C monitor though. The good thing about this monitor is we don't need a hub. Hope this helps.
Hello Friend! thanks for the review, can you please tell me if this monitor is suitable for photo editing work?
Honestly I am partial colour blind so take my comment with a grain of salt. According to Dell specs, it can do 16.7 million colours and covers 99% of sRGB colours. I have used it to create thumbnails for my RUclips video and the colours are quite accurate when I see the same picture on my other devices such as my beautiful Samsung s21 screen and galaxy tab s6 tablet. I use GIMP and canva to edit my photos. It's good.
Thanks for review! I've got this monitor but I'm not able to connect a webcam because monitor doesn't recognize it? have U any ideas? thx
If you plug in the webcam into the monitor using the monitor's USB A port, you need to make sure you connect the monitor's USB-C port to your computer's USB-C port. Hope this helps.
I have already bought one, but it doesnt’t have all the options you show, there’s no Comfort View nor the choice of not charging with the usb-c, is it a matter of the firmware?? Mine is M3B201. Thanks and Congrats for the review!
My firmware is M3B102. It's time you contact Dell support.
@@SkyPerspective I spoke with them and they told me that I couldn’t do anything, that probably the model is not exactly the same as yours… So strange, maybe a matter of different versions depending on the country… I don’t know. Thanks anyway.
Oh I see. That's very interesting to know. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! Thank you very much for your video, it really helped me a lot and pushed me to buy this monitor! I'd like to ask you how did you manage to have on the same display the computer and the tablet (tabs9ultra)...thank you in advance!
how work monitor macbook ? and I want to buy with delivery, what size is the box and how much does it weigh?
Hi do you know if this monitor will work with an ASUS Vivobook flip 14 TP470E via the USB C cable by any chance?
Hi Tori, yes it should. I checked the spec of your Asus Vivobook and it has Thunderbolt™ 4 supports display / power delivery and the laptop charges using 65W input, so it's exactly what this Dell monitor can do. I am about to launch another desk set up video which I talk about this monitor, and how my Asus Zenbook Duo can run 2 of these. Yes I bought another one of this monitor. 🙂
@@SkyPerspective That is brilliant thank you!
I am using this monitor via hdmi connection, but it's usb a ports are not working, please provide a solution.
Is it true that this monitor is the same as s2722dz except for the camera? I really need a monitor and only the dz is available in my country (I can't find any reviews on it)
I think the ports are different. The DZ has a HDMI and a Display port where as the DC has 2 HDMI ports instead. Apart from that they are pretty much the same, of course with the difference of the camera like you mentioned. You can compare them on these following link.

Hi. Does it have a docking station built into it? Thanks
Depends on what you mean by docking station. With the single USB C cable connected to monitor, we can connect USB A devices like mouse to the monitor. And the monitor charges the laptop. The monitor is acting like a "dock" however you cannot connect a second monitor to this monitor. Hope this helps.
Hello, can i ask, if this monitor can be used as docking station for my laptop? thanks a lot
Depends on what you need from a "docking station". If you plug in the monitor USB-C cable to your laptop, like a docking station, it charges your laptop and provide you a couple of extra USB ports on the monitor. However, you cannot plug in other monitors to this monitor like a docking station. And it doesn't have a RJ45 ethernet port like some docking station has. Hope this helps.
Hi there, I wanted to ask which monitor to pair up with my 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch? I have 2 options: Dell S2722DC or S2721DS. I have the budget to go for either, but want to get my money's worth. Why is there a £100 difference if there is no spec difference and is it really worth my money getting the £100 more expensive monitor? this is urgent, so if anyone knows, it would be a big help thank you
Hi Sameer, the main difference is the interface. The S2722DC has USB C connection which allows you to connect and charge your laptop easily and the S2721DS has a display port instead. If you don't use laptop and will be connecting this monitor to a desktop, then you don't need the USB C charging feature on the S2722DC. Hope this helps.
whats the PPI for this monitor, also is it a 8 bit or 10 bit display? If possible please do share experience with macbook air, i have changed 2 displays still finding a right one...

Hi, is there a version of the S2722DC with the DisplayPort port ?
Have a look at S2721DS or P2722HE. The S2721DS doesn't have USB-C Charging.
@@SkyPerspective Thanks for answering me, the S2721DS is older, it's from 2020, as for video quality I think it's lower than the S2722DC, I'm not interested in USB-C charging, the P2722HE is a FULL-HD
I’m about to buy one.
How are yours holding up?
Great, still using it till today.
Hello, what port my laptop should have to be able to connect to two this monitors ?
For newer laptops, you can either use HDMI port or USB C port. So if your laptop has one of each or two USB C ports, you can connect to two monitors directly.

Do you have a review of S2722DZ ?
Hi Snehal, Sorry no. The DC and DZ are pretty much identical. Please see my response to your other comment.
What is the laptop riser you are using?
This one ruclips.net/video/f148dxpzjC4/видео.html
What is your opinion on S2722DZ ?
I am using S2722DZ in my office and I can say it's pretty much the same with S2722DC. Same resolution, same panel, same casing and everything. The only differences are DZ has HDMI and display port where as DC has two HDMI slots. And obviously the DZ has a web cam and the DC doesn't. The web cam has a pretty wide angle and it's pretty decent, but I am using a another dedicated web cam so I can adjust the angle the web cam is point at me as well as how far away from me. Hope this helps.

Hello. Which cable do you use to connect your smartphone for Samsung DEX
The same usb c cable that comes with the monitor. Is that what you are asking?
this ONLY 8 Bits Panel color correct?
Hi there, yes based on the 16.7 million colours listed on the spec, I suspect its only 8 bits panel. Maybe others who knows more than me can correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Esteban, I am not really a gamer so take my word with a grain of salt. It's a good monitor for casual gaming like Minecraft because it can do 75Hz refresh rate and has AMD FreeSync. To be honest, I would not recommend this for serious gamer as it is not made for that. It's for laptop and home office users.
Does it come with a hdmi cable ? Could you please reply
It's been a while since I bought this monitor so I am not sure. If I remember correctly, I believe it comes with one USB-C to USB-C cable only, no HDMI cable.
according to Dell website, no hdmi cablem only usb-c to usb-c

@@SkyPerspective Please make a review about S2722QC . . Its PPI matches the 14-in 1080P laptop's.
I'm thinking about this one or P2723DE. Besides the difference in the ports, do you know if the display of P2723DE is better than S2722DC?
The P2723DE has 90W power delivery. Also I notice it uses WLED edgelight backlight, whatever that means. P series monitors are better than S series in general. P stands for Professional apparently.
@@SkyPerspective I went for S2722DC. It has 65W power delivery which is enough for me and comparing them online, both monitors have WLED backlight source, same sRGB percentage and same max number of colors. Also, I don't need the additional ports of P2723DE and I saved 100 euros.
That's wonderful. Yes it's no point paying more for those features you don't need. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Would u recommend this over s2722qc?
They are pretty much the same except the qc is ultra high definition UHD. It depends on whether you want a UHD high resolution monitor where you can see more but everything looks a lot smaller, or you want a QHD resolution monitor. Personally UHD is too high resolution for me, and my laptop or computer that runs it will need to work harder and might slow down and become laggy. This is why I go for QHD which is good enough for my usage. Hope this helps.
