Perfect Solution for 2 computers

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022

I really wanted a simple solution to having both a work laptop and home Mac Mini attached to the same peripherals. I was struggling with my older Dell 27" monitor, which was great for a laptop with USB-C connectivity, which then automatically connected to my microphone, speakers, and webcam. But I had to switch it manually each time to use the other computer.

This monitor has KVM functionality, basically. I have my laptop connected via the main powered USB-C connector, and my Mac Mini connected with two cables, HDMI and the secondary USB-C connection. I aligned the Mini via the menu options to that secondary USB-C so now my monitor switches the peripherals to that machine automatically when it's connected to the display. And since the display automatically detects which input is active, it's seamless.

And with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse (Logitech MX), those switch with a press of a button. I can move between the two computers easily now, without taking up enormous amounts of space on my desk.

Fantastic color, resolution, KVM functionality, ports, and physical flexibility for height and angle.

All around great monitor, and Dell customer service is fantastic even with purchases through Amazon.

Defective equipment

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024

This equipment was simply going to be used as a monitor for a child's laptop. We bought one last year and it was defective. We tried to get our money back but Dell and their vendor on Amazon refused. Because like most families we don't have the time or energy to make a fuss about one monitor we decided to let it go. We bought the same model thinking we just were unlucky. We weren't. Both models stopped working literally right after the return window passed. Shame on us for trusting Dell and for trusting Amazon. Don't buy these monitors. Don't buy from Dell. They do not stand behind their equipment and they are more concerned about profit than about, for example, ensuring your child has a monitor on which to complete their homework.

Best Price in Town - While It Lasted

I bought two of these monitors for photo editing. I did a lot of research about photo monitors and learned a lot about the technical specification of monitors. Set up was easy and the picture quality is amazing. The other amazing thing about these monitors is that they cost me just $409 each and were shipped PRIME. By the time I received the monitors (6 days later) , the seller had increased their price to $490 each and no Prime shipping.

Perfect for my dual monitor setup

Rhea

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023

I have a dual monitor setup in my home office that I use for both work and personal use. For personal use, I often have a browser open on one screen and video playing on the other. For work, it's Office 365 apps as well as some light photo and video editing. I need monitors that can perform well in both functions and this Dell has been nothing but perfect for me.

I wanted to cut down on all of the wires on my desk due to the Thunderbolt dock that I needed with my old monitors. I chose this monitor because it has the dock/hub built right in! I keep my Logitech Bolt adapter plugged in, ethernet, and a speaker plugged in, with one USB-C cable going to the computer and a single display port cable going to the second display (gotta love daisy chaining!).

Both of my laptops are Dell's and they work seamlessly with these monitors, they wake and sleep as they should and I never have to change inputs on the displays.

If you're looking for a clean, professional setup, this is the monitor for you.

Great Color, Connection and Price, but not the Resolution

Rob

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022

I really love this monitor, except for one issue for me at least. First some history, I have been running a two monitor setup for several years now. Both DELL monitors, one 27" 4K and one 24" QHD. For the most part I really enjoyed this setup, except I thought photographs on the QHD monitor appeared a little soft, which I should have expected compared to a 4K. However, upon recently upgrading my computer, I thought I would upgrade the 24" monitor to a 27" monitor, the same as my 4K monitor.

After scouring the internet reading various opinions and reviews about screen size and resolution, it appeared a majority of opinions thought a 27" QHD (2560x1440) resolution monitor was good for reviewing photographs and that a 27" 4K monitor was overkill at this size. Therefore, I went with the DELL U2722DE monitor because of the 100% sRGB color space, as well as the superb ability to be used as a USB-C Hub and the price.

Now that I have been using the monitor for several weeks, I can offer my opinion. First off I really like this monitor, for the most part. However, photographs on the monitor still appear soft at my typical viewing distance, and that is where a little more investigation on my part may have swayed my decision. It makes sense that a lower QHD resolution monitor would appear softer than a 4K monitor at the same distance. Upon further investigation, the appropriate viewing distance for a QHD monitor is a little over 30" where as the appropriate viewing distance for a 4K monitor is a little over 20". As it turns out I set about 20" away from both of my monitors, split between the two, so the QHD monitor will appear softer. If I move more in front of the 4K monitor and away from the QHD monitor, they both appear to have about the same sharpness.

For me, now I am displaying Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop on the 4K monitor to make all my adjustments and then using the QHD monitor to display a full size photograph to get the color correct.

What I Like:
- Great color reproduction
- Great connectivity
- Almost borderless bezel
- Easy setup
- Price

What I don't like:
- Resolution at a closer viewing distance

Inconsistent flickering and ringing noise

Amazon Customer

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024

I purchased this as a used product. I didn't realize that heavily damaged products could be sold. Using the product over the last 5 months I have two serious complains. Pretty disappointed to have missed the return window and have my request to the seller go ignored.

1. A high pitched noise that persists anytime the monitor is on.

2. Flickering at the top and bottom of the screen after multiple hours of usage.

The best choice to go with USB-C compatible laptops

Reviewed in India on October 30, 2022

If you are using a Macbook Pro, get this QHD version of the monitor over the 4K version. The 4K version involves scaling to a non native resolution that is unnecessary processing .

I love this monitor because it connects to my Macbook pro with a single USB cable and charges it at the same time.

Apart from that, it also charges my bluetooth speaker, connects to an external mic, apple watch charger, phone/airpods wireless charger through various ports in the USB-C hub. Hence reducing the number of wall adapters to almost zero!

Coming to the quality, It's not as good as macbook pro's retina display. But it's good enough as an external monitor.
Display is crisp enough for watching videos, working (coding)
Color reproduction is excellent and would be a great monitor for design work, too.
Monitor arm isn't as good as the one that comes with LG Ergo series, but gets the job done ie. tilt and height along with being able to rotate display to make it vertical.

Build quality is solid, looks premium however I felt the display with provided stand is a bit wobbley whenever I type on a keyboard placed on the same desk.

No complaints with this monitor, looks good, works, has a good warranty unlike other brands.

Experience shopping this on Amazon: I think I got a used/refurbished piece, when I keyed in the serial number and checked for warranty I see the warranty period started three months ago.
Not an issue for me, but if it's something that bothers you, keep this in mind. Buy from a proper seller with good ratings, I don't see Cloudtail or Appario retail selling this model.
