Dell 27-inch USB-C Monitor S2722DC - Perfect match for laptop and Samsung DEX

Close up Physical looks and review of the Dell S2722DC QHD monitor. This laptop monitor is designed to charge your laptop while it's connected. It uses a USB-C to USB-C Power Delivery (PD) 65W charging connection. It's also a convenient mobile phone monitor. I run Samsung Dex on this monitor from my Galaxy S21 directly without a computer.

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?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

Great vid. Just received mine today and works well! Speaker is bad but display is very good. I’m keeping it and retuning the HP monitor I already bought.

[@SkyPerspective]

That's interesting. Why did you return the HP monitor? Which model is that? Not as good as this Dell?

[@GEE-SHOCK]

@@SkyPerspective the HP model was E27u with USB-C. Main reason for returning is I have had a few replacements, but seems there is light bleeding and “one side warmer than the other side” issue. I know it’s common in IPS but I just don’t like it. - In HP there is no audio jack - very inconvenient. It’s also 6 bit FRC not real 8 bit. - Dell’s maximum brightness is 350 nit while only 250 nit for HP - Price wise HP cost me $470 (corporate discount) and Dell cost me $331 (after eBay voucher) so Dell is definitely of much better value. - I especially like Dell’s display manager which lets you easily adjust brightness and contrast using your mouse. Never a Dell fan but now changing my mind!!!

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.

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 ?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

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!

[@SkyPerspective]

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. 🙂

[@8790channel]

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?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@8790channel]

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

[@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?

[@tu4n59]

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?

[@emreemre369]

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?

[@kennywan9933]

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

[@SkyPerspective]

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 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYCxc5mqeq-HitE ) 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.

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.

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

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

Would u recommend this over s2722qc?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

Have you tried connecting from a usb c hub instead of directly from phone/laptop usb c? Will it work?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

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.

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

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

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 KZbin 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.

[@DharmS]

I have bought the same monitor but not able to connect with my phone.Please Dell help me with this.

[@annav49]

Hi, it has been 10 months since you posted this video. How are you finding the monitor nowadays? Cheers.

[@SkyPerspective]

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]

Hi! I am looking to get 2 monitors for my laptop. How did you connect the 2 monitors to your laptop?

[@sameersh4h]

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

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

Is the keyboard and mouse connected to phone via Bluetooth?

[@SkyPerspective]

I made this video so long ago, I forget what's in it already. Which part of the video did you see my keyboard and mouse connected to my phone?

[@ToRiHale]

Hi do you know if this monitor will work with an ASUS Vivobook flip 14 TP470E via the USB C cable by any chance?

[@SkyPerspective]

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. 🙂

[@ToRiHale]

@@SkyPerspective That is brilliant thank you!

[@ankurv03]

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]

PPI = 109, 8 bit display 16.7 million colours.

[@sikistajlanda3149]

Hi, I'm wondering the same. Did someone check this monitor with MacBook?

[@Stabawn]

Woukd this be a good gaming monitor? Or decent

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@salbe78]

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

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@nebojshaarsikj568]

Hi. Does it have a docking station built into it? Thanks

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@ChawanNaFamily]

this ONLY 8 Bits Panel color correct?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@Jimmy___]

Why did you show every adjustment except height?!

[@SkyPerspective]

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?

[@hakobghlijyan]

how work monitor macbook ? and I want to buy with delivery, what size is the box and how much does it weigh?

[@vasiakosovan6957]

Hello, what port my laptop should have to be able to connect to two this monitors ?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@fahad_ab]

where did you buy this from? You got a pretty good discount!

[@SkyPerspective]

I bought it directly from Dell Australia. They have got good discount every now and then.

[@janstanek4675]

Hello, can i ask, if this monitor can be used as docking station for my laptop? thanks a lot

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@giorgiorossi995]

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!

[@CanaleYouTubeGeneralista]

Hi, is there a version of the S2722DC with the DisplayPort port ?

[@SkyPerspective]

Have a look at S2721DS or P2722HE. The S2721DS doesn't have USB-C Charging.

[@CanaleYouTubeGeneralista]

@@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

[@elmarefendijev]

Hello. Which cable do you use to connect your smartphone for Samsung DEX

[@SkyPerspective]

The same usb c cable that comes with the monitor. Is that what you are asking?

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

What is your opinion on S2722DZ ?

[@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.

[@Slayy234]

@@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?

[@alexgjo3132]

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?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@alexgjo3132]

@@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.

[@SkyPerspective]

That's wonderful. Yes it's no point paying more for those features you don't need. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Slayy234]

Do you have a review of S2722DZ ?

[@SkyPerspective]

Hi Snehal, Sorry no. The DC and DZ are pretty much identical. Please see my response to your other comment.

[@rogan70]

Could I plug a usb keyboard and usb mouse into this monitor?

[@SkyPerspective]

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.

[@bobbylim1971]

Is the screen glossy or matte type?

Unfortunately, no. Not at this sort of price point.
