We need to get the 4k to 120hz ...
Really not sure why this didn’t come out this year but they released ultrawides instead. Guessing next year. I was ready to upgrade this year. Would’ve been a perfect option for me for photos and gaming
Hi Michael and thanks for the great in-depth explanation. I am considering buying Dell U2723QE as I would like a quality 4K monitor for the long run. As I am 10h+ by the PC, office work+multimedia the only thing I kind of missed on the U2723QE was a higher refresh rate. I am currently using some old Dell P series 24' and I am sure the switch to a new 4k would be great and probably resting for my eyes (although it's 60hz) but I wanted your opinion if possible regarding how much the difference is between this 120hz and the U2723QE 60hz and should I maybe wait for Dell's 4k 120hz versions if the eye-strain affection is quite noticeable with a higher refresh rate. Thanks.
Hi Mike, thanks for the in-depth review! Looks like a great monitor, but why no HDR? 😢
I do have an older Dell monitor that has HDR - the Dell U2520D UltraSharp, mainly for home office, and occasional casual gaming.
1) Does this mean the U2520D has better color display than the U2724DE?
2) Could I daisychain the 2520D to the 2724DE?
Thanks for the video - very useful. Can I ask, is your audio slightly out of sync with the video?
Thanks for video! I initially thought the $160 price increase for the DE over the D was a bit steep, but then I realized an external Thunderbolt Hub is gonna set you back just as much and more(!) while clutter up your desk and needing an extra power outlet/brick, so it's actually a pretty good deal.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Really useful information, thanks. Quick question. If I had two U2724DE monitors, could I connect each to different laptops via thunderbolt. And still daisychain and use KVM features. I.e. to save on having to connect multiple cables into second laptop?
Hi Mike based on what i read online if the first monitor is a thunderbolt display the last monitor in the daisy chain can use display mst on a mac.
Tks Help me a lot! This is a best review!!! I was in doubt between U2724D and Sansung UR550 4K. For coding and eye confort I liked more Dell U2724D, I'm switching from my old LG 23MP55HQ monitor (1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz) and I'm very excited to buy this monitor. When it arrives I will comment on my experience after a few days of use.
Huge thanks for your fantastic review, I'm totally sold and planning to grab either the D or DE, but there are few things holding me back .
For DE Version:
1. Can you turn off charging over the Thunderbolt cable, or is it always on?
2. My laptop's a Lenovo P15 with a 150W charger. Will it charge slower through the monitor's 90W Thunderbolt, or just not at all?
Now, for the D version:
If I use HDMI or DP for video, can I connect a mouse, keyboard, and headphones to the monitor's USB ports, then use one USB cable to connect them all to my laptop? (Asking because my current monitor has this cool setup).
For context, my current ThinkVision has 4 USB ports and an audio jack. I've got keyboard, mouse, speakers, and phone charging/data plugged in, with one HDMI and one USB cable going to my laptop. When my wife uses it, she just swaps in her DP cable and uses the same USB cable.
Really appreciate your time and help! Your answers will make all the difference in my decision.
I got this monitor, and it works perfectly with my work laptop! Thx!
Could I have a question, please? One laptop I have is a Lenovo Ideapad 5. When connecting it through Thunderbolt to the monitor, sometimes it works, yet sometimes the monitor can't detect any signal. Is there a setting I can tweak for the monitor to always work with a device like this? Many thanks for your kind attention.
Thanks for this video!! Awesome review. This has comfort view plus, does this affect the colour in any way. If I wanted to edit photo etc will this comfort view affect the photos colour and editing, if it does affect it can it be turned off.
@joythomson6436 Thank you! Great question. Comfort view plus has no affect on the color quality. It is one of the TUV requirements.
Very nice video, thanks
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I own a pair of U2722DE and U2722D for 2 years. They serve me well. With USB-C i can connect first monitor to the laptop and chain second monitor to the first using MTP. These ones should be even better 😊
Thank you very much. I learned a lot from the video. Could you please also explain the difference between the QE and DE models?
Q = 4K D = QHD E = Hub display. The U2724DE came out after the U2723QE, so U2723QE does not have Thunderbolt, does not have 120Hz refresh rate (it has 60Hz) and does not have Ambient Light sensor. U2723QE is still a great display. I used it for over a month and loved it (I switch displays every month to better understand what it is like to work with them).
Thanks for the clarification. However it's quite confusing that Q = UHD instead of QHD. The latter would make more sense, I suppose 🤔
Hi Mike, hope you’re still reading comments… if I daisy chain two of these together, will the regular USB Ports be usable for both, effectively doubling the ports? I’ll use them to hook up my wireless dongles for the keyboard and mouse, as well as a wired webcam.
Hello Michael! Thank you for the great video!
I do not understand how this display will work with MacBook Pro 14 m3 max which has 254 ppi . Will we see some blurry fonts in pdf files for example ?
Thank you for answering my questions below. I really love soooo much about this monitor (and I'm considering getting it soon), especially the care for eyes (I've had some issues with my eyes due to staring at the screen for my job). I love that the colour rating are high 98%DCI-P3 and 100%sRGB for editing. Curious to know what the Adobe RGB rating is on this monitor please? TIA 🌸😊
Around 96% of Adobe RGB covered
Great review, thanks! Could you also go into how this model performs against the ASUS ProArt PA278CGV, please? The Asus model imho has similar specs as this Dell model but additionally HDR, 144 Hz and a higher brightness of 400cd. On the downside, its hub capabilities are not as good, it doesn't habe ambient light sensor and also no ComfortView plus. I'm pretty sure that many potential customers are considering the Asus as an alternative to the Dell.
Excited for these new monitors, as well as your U3425WE .
Any chance you guys are working on a something like your U3821DW ? Which is a 24:10 ultrawide. love the added vertical space. looking for that 120Hz and ips black though.
Also kinda expensive for commercial use, they are competing with OLEDs in price. but the OLED beats it in color accuracy, black levels, blooming, viewing angles
@DDHDTV Right now we have 32:9 21:9, 16:9 and 16:10 in the commercial monitors. As far as the OLED, you are not likely to see OLED's in commercial monitors because of temporal luminance stability. Commercial monitors are designed for being on longer and lasting longer than consumer displays. That may change over the next few years. QD (Quantum Dot)-OLED is showing some encouraging stability and color improvements. We will see.
Hi Mike, do you still have those matching Dell soundbars you could clip on the bottom side of the monitor?
@dominikt.7167 we do. Dell Slim Conferencing Soundbar - SB522A . I should have added that to my video review.
A little correction about the daisy chaining for Mac users: the first monitor has to be thunderbolt, the second monitor can be any monitor basically.
I tested it myself today with this monitor and another generic hdmi monitor on my MBP with M1 Pro chip.
So I can connect my macbook air m2 to the monitor hub and connect another monitor and use both monitors, without the need for displaylink ?
So I guess the second monitor can be just U2724D right? Connected from U2724DE Thunderbolt 4 OUT to U2724D DisplayPort?
Hi!
It will possible turn off standby LED light blinking in the future?
Hello ! Thank you for good content. What is the diffrency between U2724DE and the U2723QE.
@muradhabib4440 The DE is is QHD, the QE is 4K. DE is TBT4 vs QE is USB-C, DE had 120Hz refresh rate the QE is 60Hz. The DE has a ambient light sensor the QE doesn't. The U2723QE came out last year, the U2724DE just launched. Hope this helps.
So I can connect my macbook air m2 to the monitor hub and connect another monitor and use both monitors, without the need for displaylink ?
Michael, I really don't post comments often under videos, but I happily make an exception for yours. Thanks a million for your amazing video! It was absolutely clear, straight to the point, while still maintaining an excellent level of detail... Just awesome. I am on the search for a pair of new monitors for quite some time now (still rocking the Dell P2719H) and am a macOS user - that's why, you always keeping an eye on your "Mac friends" was extremely appreciated. So, thanks for this great review - absolutely awesome devices. Keep up making such great content... 🔥
@wigwurm You made my week! Thank you!
What is a thunderbolt hub? Can I use the usb c in the D version to connect my display?
Does the KVM support wake from sleep by keyboard (i.e. without actually turning the laptop/computer directly on)?
In case you have macbook air m2, is it possible to connect to USB C without charging ?
Can you use a U2723QE and a U2724D as a dual set up with a Mac Studio M2 Max?
possible to get 2K 120Hz with HidPi text crispy (without the need to use apps like SwitchEasyX or BetterDisplay) using a USBC to DP1.4 cable on a Macbook Air M1?
Also, prolonged use of external monitor will cause mba m1 to feel too warm?
wait, so can I daisy chain U3425WE and U2724D? I figured I could since U3425WE is a thunderbolt hub monitor... but now I'm wondering if it's possible since they have different resolutions.
I’m on the fence between this one and the U2723QE. Both are same price nowadays here, I am a Mac user who currently use an Apple Thunderbolt Display that is 2K like this one. Giving the scale issues on Macs with 4K, I think I’ll go with this model. I do mostly office work and light gaming. Also I don’t really need 4K. Thunderbolt dock is a plus. Thanks for the video!
Yes, they say 27" 2k is better for scaling of Mac
Did you buy this?
Not yet, still thinking ;) but probably soon I’ll buy this one, I am almost convinced even with the U2723QE at same price.
@@emrearslan1why? Apple advertising 4k, 5k, 6k displays everywhere...
Just write "Mac Scaling Chart" and see the chart.
If one were to daisy chain two U2724DE monitors using Thunderbolt, does that mean the computer would also see two ethernet and audio ports from the hub? Or do only the ones on the first monitor work and the second monitor is strictly video?
Great Video! It was clear that the Macbook Air M1 requires two U2724DE monitors to do the daisy channel, but if a Thunderbolt to Displayport adapter is used to connect a second external monitor (daisy channel) through a first U2724DE monitor, would it work? Or does the communication to the second monitor need to be strictly Thunderbolt 4?
+ 1
Really want to know the answer for this but couldn’t find anything online.
Came back with an answer- the first monitor has to be thunderbolt, the second monitor can be any monitor basically. I tested it myself today with this monitor and another generic hdmi monitor on my MBP with M1 Pro chip.
Why have Dell chosen to have the monitor controls behind the screen and not below?
I find it very annoying that i should grab behind the screen to turn it on as i need to reach further and then locate the button.
My screen is longer than a arm reach away from my eyes, which makes this process even worse.
Other than that, this monitor could potentially be my next upgrade.
Could you please tab into this compared to the 4K version (U2724QE) and its performance on a Mac (thinking about the scaling issues that roars around the internet with the 4K 27" inches)
Hello Michael, hello community.
I have a question about the monitor daisychain with Windows. Is it true that I does only support 8-bit colour depth if using the 120Hz and not 10-bit?
Will 120hz affect performance on my dell xps 15 2023?
I Have the simplest graphic
Nice Video, Can you tell me, can the Auto brightness setting be disabled?
You can disable it. If you are like me I always have it on 100%. It is how I keep my tan in the winter. :🙂
@@MichaelOHanian I ended up getting this display, what an awesome monitor! 90% brightness seems to work well for me :)
Where can i get that wallpaper with the splash/explosion in the start of your video? 😍
Try to use circle to search. Thats how i found it on my android device. Links nornaly dont work on youtube.
Can you please provide more information about the high IPS Glow/Bleed some users reported on Reddit?
@xiPl4Yx I have seen comments on this in some blogs. I have tested multiple Dell IPS Black displays and have not seen this. I uses the Dell IPS Black displays for work (on one right now).
Hey @@MichaelOHanian, two days ago my U2724D has arrived, and the first impression is very positive. Great colors, blacks and gray uniformity. It's great to see a 120Hz panel with VRR support in a productivity series.
@@xiPL4Yx Thank you for choosing Dell!
Can you test gsync or freesync in this monitor?
Synchronization works fine, but at 75 and 59.9 in games, I noticed that the color "floats" a little (if I find the strength, I'll take a video and show it).
Since you work for dell, can you please tell me if ultrasharp 4k 120hz is coming anytime soon. Pretty please
We have a 5K 120Hz U4025QW that is lunching now. Other than that, nothing that I am aware of (in the commercial line) this year.
@@MichaelOHanian thanks for the reply. so there aren't gonna be any more monitors this year apart from the ones already announced?
@@MichaelOHanianto me 2160 is 4K , not 5k?
Is it possible to hook up two laptops (pc) with two U2724de daisy chained and then KVM between the two laptops and keep the daisy chain active for both screens?
@lockednLoaded31 you can but it can get tricky to get it set up. A bit of an Art & Science. 😀 I would recommend you use Dell Display Manager to assist you with the configuration.
This is great news! I would love to hear more details on this if possible. I have Dell Display Manager installed on both machines.
Did you have any luck doing this?
@@matthewgrimwade7921nothing yet, hoping to hear a follow-up from Mr.OHanian
Is it possible to daisy chain 3 of these monitors in total (2 extra)? I want to connect first monitor using thunderbolt to laptop and using display port (DP) to PC and use this as KVM, second monitor using DP to first, and third using DP to second?
U2724DE + U2724D + U2724D
The 120 fps is only with the usb C or is also possible with display port?
My desktop has a Thunderbolt port on the motherboard. Can I drive the monitor with the display port on my gpu while using thunderbolt to connect to all my accessories?
That will work, as long as you connect both your TBT and DisplayPort into the display. Your TBT will act as your USB upstream. Note: Ethernet will not pass through to your desktop with your setup.
Can you daisy chain two U2724D (non hub) monitors or does one have to have a thunderbolt port
Just to clarify - I have an Asus Vivobook it doesn't have a thunderbolt port or display port. It has HDMI, 2 x USB A-3.2 gen 1 and 1 x USB-C 3.2 gen 1 ports, can two U2724D monitors (with no thunderbolt ports) be daisy chained and work on that laptop ? (I currently have one Dell 27inch U2724D monitor that runs off the HDMI port (Asus Vivobook) to the Dell monitor HDMI port).
@joythomson6436 in your situation you will need to get some kind of docking (like the Dell UD22 universal dock). The U2724D is a standard display, the U2724DE had the Hub (docking) built into it.
so for a macbook daisy-chaining 2x DE is possible, can you do the same with 2x U2723QE ??
Yep
& use it as a KVM switch as well
Great monitor and video, but pretty upmarket. The U2720Q needs a refresh to 120hz, but with no hub or superfluous ports.
@jordanLong20 Perhaps we'll see that in a year or so. However, we just launched a 40" 5K with 120Hz U4025QW.
@@MichaelOHanian Eager to see it!
Hi Michael, Do you have a recommendation of LG monitor with a similar quality.
I don't. LG makes good panels and we here at Dell do have a close partnership with LG. Because I work for Dell I only review Dell systems.
Is it possible to turn off the auto adjust with the brightness and colour temperature
@joythomson6436 You can.
@@MichaelOHanianthank you!
Will there also be a 24 inch model, like a U2424DE?
@dominikt.7167 there is: U2424H/ U2424HE 23.8” FHD, 120Hz, HW LBL, ALS (HE: USB-C PD 90W, RJ45 2.5G)
@@MichaelOHanian Thanks for the answer! Looks good, but with only FHD and only a contrast ratio of 1:1000, it's not an alternative for me. I don't get why Dell doesn't keep the same specs in the smaller models (eg 24 inches) but always goes down with the specs as model sizes decrease.
Can you help me. I'm looking for a monitor to process images and also play games. I was looking at the Dell U2724D model, the response time is 8 ms (normal), 5 ms (fast), and 120 Hz. Would it be able to handle games?????
If the information is true, yes. For example, my 27GN750 claims 1 ms, but that is on Fastest mode, that is unusable because adds a lot of invert ghosting, this mode is there just so they can market 1ms, the Fast mode accordantly with RTINGS is about 5 ms. So if this information is true, it would be on par with the fast IPS standard. You need to find out if this fast mode is usable, or it's just there for marketing.
For most recreational gamer's a 120Hz is good. There is usually a tradeoff between resolution/color and refresh rate. In my opinion refresh rate is more important than the response rate. Think of response rate as each pixel being a soldier and the refresh rate being the Drill Sergeant. The Drill Sergeant gives out a command to the soldiers to do a pushup. Refresh rate is how many commands a Sergeant can give in a second. The Response rate is how fast the soldiers can do the pushup. There is little use in having a fast response rate if the refresh rate is slow. Hope that makes sense.
@@MichaelOHanian I have the opposite opinion, fast response time gives you de illusion of high refresh rate. My 60 hz oled looks as smooth as 120hz IPS if the fast movement is not huge. And my VA 144hz still looks like crap, so I rather play on 60 hz Fast IPS than this.
I want to buy the Dell U2724D 27 (With no Thunderbolt) to use with my macbook pro 2018. Will I get 120Hz refresh rate with the macbook pro (2018) via USBC to Display port?
Thanks in advance
@will_day I am not a MacBook user but this is what I found on an Apple blog. The 2018 MacBook Pro only supports a 60 Hz refresh rate with external displays. However, the MacBook Pro can be adjusted to 120 Hz for smoother video playback and improved video editing. support.apple.com/en-euro/102297#:~:text=On%2014%2Dinch%20and%2016,refresh%20rate%20up%20to%20120Hz.
@@MichaelOHanian thank you very much
Well I purchased Dell’s 34” oled ultra wide for gaming , and will order this today for photo editing. Unless you feel there’s a better 27” option for Lightroom photoshop etc . Thanks for the review
Is it a good screen for image processing? I’m a photographer
@millenasateles6021 From a color prospective it is. However photographers tend to look at pixel density. A pixel density between 110-140 is usually recommended. The U2723DE comes in at 108.97PPI. So, really close and for the price it is a good deal. Here are some other Dell Displays that photographers like:
U2724DE = 108.97PPI QHD 27" IPS Black
U2723QE =163.18PPI 4K 27" IPS Black
U3223QE = 137.68PPI 4K 32" IPS Black
U3224KB = 223PPI 6K 32" IPS Black.
Any issue using this with a Mac Air M2 - want to use 2 of these with the Air
@mazz777 I don't see any issues. The Mac Air M2 has Thunderbolt ports.
@@MichaelOHanianyou're wrong, Mac air allows only 1 external display. He can connect 2 displays to his MacBook air m2 only if he has a dock with the Display Link chip.
@@hvasya I should have stated that more clearly. When I say natively, that is what I mean. No drivers. We have docking stations at Dell, such as the UD22 that uses Display Link and can support up to 3 displays with MacBook.
What's the difference between the D and DE model?
The DE has an build in Thunderbolt 4 Hub
@benseyesvisuals the D is lacking the hub (docking) and the Thunderbolt. The U2724DE is good to pair with the U2724D because they look identical and by not having Thunderbolt and hub you can save a little money. If you are a MacBook user you have to get both DE versions to get dual display.
thanks for the reply! is the thunderbolt dock necessary for other purposes besides using it as a chain hub? @@MichaelOHanian
@@MichaelOHanian is there an explenation why the mac doesnt support daisy chaining from DE to D ?
@@DavideMaiolo Quick answer is that macOS does not support Multi-Stream Transport (MST). However, some Mac users on Reddit are claiming they are able to daisy chain by using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to the second display...so I'm not entirely sure if Michael is correct saying that both need to be the DE model.
İs this monitor flicker free? I couldn't find it anywhere
@ozkandursun4599 It has the TUV flicker free label. It has achieved a 5-Star-certified monitor will have a high refresh rate (≥ 120 Hz) and high color accuracy and feature hardware to reduce blue light and flicker, as well as brightness and color temperature control for ambient lighting. Hope this helps.
@@MichaelOHanian Thank you
So, u2724d cannot connect to mac?
You can. You just cannot daisy chain to it with a Mac.
@@MichaelOHanian even an M3 MacBook ? I wanted to have my P2719C as my second display with the U2724DE
