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?

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?

Thanks for the video - very useful. Can I ask, is your audio slightly out of sync with the video?

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.

Hi! It will possible turn off standby LED light blinking in the future?

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.

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.

What is a thunderbolt hub? Can I use the usb c in the D version to connect my display?

In case you have macbook air m2, is it possible to connect to USB C without charging ?

Very nice video, thanks

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.

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 ?

Does the KVM support wake from sleep by keyboard (i.e. without actually turning the laptop/computer directly on)?

Can you use a U2723QE and a U2724D as a dual set up with a Mac Studio M2 Max?

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.

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?

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?

Will 120hz affect performance on my dell xps 15 2023? I Have the simplest graphic

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.

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 😊

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.

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?

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.

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)

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.

@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.

I don't know about the '24 model, but with the U2722DE I have hooked up to a desktop and a laptop, I can't use the desktop if the laptop is still plugged in and turned off. Hope they address problems like this...

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?

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

@MichaelOHanian

5 ай бұрын

@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.

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... 🔥

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).

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?

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?????

@mrxcs

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.

@MichaelOHanian

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.
