Dell U2722DE Ethernet Monitor: Review with Q&A

[@MohammadIshfaqueJahanRafee]

Before anyone else makes the same mistake as mine, don't make the mistake of buying U2722D, thinking you'll just not have the Ethernet port. It can't be further from the truth. U2722D, isn't even an USB-C monitor. It's a monitor that has USB hub built in. You run a USB cable to it to distribute the output to multiple ports and run a DP or HDMI cable, for display. The USB port can't charge the connected device by more than 15w and can't carry any display data. I have no idea who feel tried to target with this, but this is the fact.

[@sunil564]

Is Daisy chain possible with these U2722D monitors from macbook air?

[@MohammadIshfaqueJahanRafee]

@@sunil564 U2722D is not an USB-C monitor. So if you're asking for USB-C Daisy chaining, that's not even an option. If you're asking about DP Daisy chaining, I actually don't know.

[@salveaguirre2340]

what is display data? is us722d good enough for everyday monitor for business and school?

[@masssssy]

@@MohammadIshfaqueJahanRafee Daisy chaining regular DP works perfectly. They target non laptop users obviously. I run PC -> Screen1 -> Screen2 -> Screen3. Obviously there is a market for this. Not everyone run a laptop.

[@atexnik]

Yeah, not a bad monitor, but you can get the Benq PD2705Q with almost similar functionality, but much more color adjustment options for less that 400 USD. Dell is just way overpriced. And without serious measurements it's not possible to judge about the color reproduction accuracy, the mere factory paper is not a source of truth.

[@keesswier212]

Thanks for the extensive and detailed review of the Dell U2722DE! Also nice that the monitor has a true color depth of 10 bit. And that the percentages of the color space(s) after calibration still almost match the specifications of Dell. Also nice that you discussed the questions of the viewers.

[@PlayGameToday]

What exactly do you mean "after calibration"? This monitor comes calibrated from the factory.

[@keesswier212]

@@PlayGameToday You're right, the monitor comes pre-calibrated from the factory. But in the Tech on Tech review, the monitor is recalibrated with the Spider 5 Pro calibration device. This results in almost the same calibration figures as the figures pre-calibrated from the factory. That's what I meant.

[@MissSuperNerd]

Would have appreciated actually seeing the cable input when referencing video & and peripheral inputs when showing the ports when walking through in segment 6. There was also the opportunity to physically show how the changes in different devices inputs work. Also when showing KVM function there was no details on KVM switching on keyboard. This was not really a functional walk-through. More like a technical overview. Beyond that I will say you have the best wall through on this monitor. Even better than the official Dell Technical guides. Great work.

Glad to know it works with Windows though. And thanks for sharing the less known features like multi-monitor sync. That sounds very useful for me.

[@otata]

Best Review i have seen. The part with your painting show, how good the DELL is. I think about to take the DELL or the ASUS PA278CV, but i think it will be the DELL.

[@nestserau]

Really great display. The number of ports it comes with is the bare minimum for any professional computer. Glad Dell understands it, while Apple have dropped the ball on their devices recently. If it had a card reader, that would be a 6-star display for this money. Working with text is pleasant and it keeps my Macbook Pro 16" charged. I can work with lid closed and open, which is super nice. The anti-glare coating is also a welcome addition after years of struggling on an iMac. I'm not a designer, so I don't have to calibrate it, but the colors it has out of the box are to the point. I've seen 4K displays which were unworkable due to contrast issues. Exactly the case when the quality of the panel is more important than the resolution in the spec.

[@sameerdivate]

Hey, I plan to use this with a Mac as well. I also plan to use the USB ports to charge devices like my phone, watch, etc. Can you please confirm that I'll be able to charge my devices even when the laptop is disconnected?

[@nestserau]

@@sameerdivate It has one USB and one USB-C port which can be used for charging even when there is no laptop around.

[@tspmcfarlane]

Extremely thorough review, thank you

[@nadtz]

Wow, was wondering why a 1440p was so relatively expensive for a non gaming monitor, if the KVM works well that alone makes that monitor well worth the price. Add in the ethernet (which while I probably wouldn't use it I can see it being very useful for laptop users) and that's almost a bargain if it's actually 10bit. And again I wouldn't use it much but all it's missing is a card reader which is still important to a lot of creative professionals since it would be easy to fill all the USB ports. even with 4k monitors starting to drop in price my personal sweet spot is still 1440p, my eyes are much happier with it so I keep an eye on what's new out there. If I didn't already have an Asus pro art monitor I'd save my pennies for this.

From what I can tell, the difference between the U2722DE and U2722D is more than just the Ethernet port. It looks like only the U2722DE has the USB-C port for video input and laptop charging.

[@keesswier212]

You're right. And there are many more differences compared to the U2722D. That's why I ordered the U2722DE. Better a function too much than too little. And you may use certain functions again later. The U2722DE also comes with a 1m USB-C - C cable. and not on the U2722D.

Hi to all, I am interested in the U2722D model to replace my excellent U2515H from 2015 with intensive use. I am using a desktop computer with an GFX RTX 2080 card, connected via DP. I do intensive work all day but also I do casual gaming on weekends (mostly racing games) without complaints. Checking the specs, both U2515H and U2722D have 8 ms max time response, and, I just discovered that my monitor has a "fast mode" with 6 ms that I haven't tried yet in years hahah!. So, I think it will be okay for me the U2722D for casual gaming. But, I want to be sure that the only difference between the U2722D and U2722DE is in the ports. I don't need USB-C charging, LAN port, etc. since I connect all peripherals directly to the computer. Both U2722D and U2722DE have the same exact panel, right? Thank you and regards.

A very comprehensive review, Teoh. Great work. I am currently using a 16" mid-2014 Macbook Pro and plan to upgrade to a Mac Mini. I do mostly photo edits on Capture One and occasional video editing. Would this monitor be equal to the Retina display on my current Macbook pro? From your review, I guess this monitor would be sufficient for my kind of work. Any suggestions otherwise?

[@teohyc]

This monitor is good. However, the 1440P resolution on the 27-inch display will appear more pixelated compared to your Macbook Pro. If you don't need the built-in Ethernet port, you can consider the 1440P 25-inch Dell U2520D (100% sRGB) which will have sharper images due to squeezing the same number of pixels onto a smaller display.

[@realjoecast]

2day usage review. Dell Monitor management on windows is junk don't bother (as of this date). OSD menu can do all the functions that I have wanted. Daisy chaining monitors when trying to use KVM/PIP breaks the second monitor. I'm not sure what would happen if you do not daisy chain. USB Switch is also annoying. When using a usb drive it also moves the drive (which makes sense) Plug in your usb into one of the pc ports not the monitor when using KVM. When using the KVM switch, it also moves the network to the other device even if the device already has a network connection. this can be a pain because it could pull away a needed network connection on a device if it doesn't already have its own connection. Makes sense but is annoying, if you can disable usb switch, but note it won't function as a stand alone kvm any longer. Display is rather awesome. but glare/reflection is an issue even if it isn't glossy. I notice this on a lot of Dell monitors, less so on other brands. Not sure why. the PD USB charge is also great if you are using it for a laptop that can do USB-C charging like newer Surface Laptops and Macs. the same usb-c cable also is the device that connects to the built in usb hub. drop in a wireless keyboard and mouse and you can have only one cable coming out from behind your monitor. Can really clean up the desk space in front of your monitor. So far i give it an 8/10 due to the KVM not working as I would like and the glare. no monitor is prefect but this is pretty good for office use as a docking station. If they had a 120+hz I would really look close at getting one for my home setup

[@diego_estudioteca]

Hi, great review! I am looking for this monitor for use with Macbook Pro M1 and have seen some reports of image retention on the Dell monitor (on the U2722DE and other models as well). This occurs when connecting to Mac running Big Sur. There is even a reddit about it. Did you notice any problems like that?

[@teohontech7141]

I did not notice image retention issues. But then I'm using Intel Mac Mini 2018. There are many reported issues with external monitors with M1 Macs. If you are unsure, it's best to get the monitors that have been reported to work fine with M1. Right now unfortunately it's still risky to buy external monitors for M1.

@@teohontech7141 Thanks for you reply, I figured it out. Tilt, height, and rotate are easy, but swivel requires so much force it feels like the monitor stand will break off. Hold the base of the stand with one hand, and use the other hand to grip the vertical pole part of the stand and twist as hard as you can. I do not recommend grabbing the monitor itself and trying to twist as suggested by Dell technical support as it would most likely result in breaking the stand off from the monitor back. The construction of the stand is quite flimsy on the current model October 25, 2023.

@@malcolm341 There shouldn't be any swivel when there's already rotation.

@@teohyc rotation refers to when you want the monitor rotated vertically tall for coding a.k.a. portrait mode. Swivel refers to when the base of the monitor stand rotates so you can have the screen at an angle with the base of the stand facing forward. Both are supported on this model of Dell monitor, but getting the monitor to swivel feels like you will break the stand off from the back off the monitor, so I was worried it did not swivel, but it does.

[@teohyc]

Not sure about ComfortView Plus as I no longer have this monitor to test. Anyway, I always colour calibrate my displays so the calibrator will actually just remove any colour tint. 27 inch 1440P will have noticeable pixelation even when working from one arms distance away. So the 25-inch will appear sharper by comparing. But 1440P is not good for MacOS so you'll need another app called BetterDisplay to scale the UI to the best sharpness. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6uZhIhjmt6Mh6c

I find anything above 27" uncomfortable, as you have to rotate your head too much. I basically leave a part of my screen unused if I have to work on a 32-34" display. That's why they started making curved displays, guess that's what makes sense if you absolutely must watch a lot of information side by side, but for a flat panel I'd say 27" is tops of what's reasonable.

Monitor for coding , work, watching movies U2723QE or U2722DE Which one is best? Or what monitor you suggest for these purposes?

[@teohontech7141]

Both are good. Main difference is just 4K vs 1440P. 4K is good for this size as pixelation will not be noticeable. If you use Mac, you need BetterDisplay app to scale the UI properly. For coding, I recommend looking for 16:10 display. Coding benefits with more height, eg more lines of code shown. The Huawei Mateview 28 is good for coding because aspect ratio is 3:2.

Why is the P2723QE with 4k resolution cheaper?

Does the daisy chain extended (not p2p) work this way: • laptop --> usb-c --> Dell --> DP --> Monitor 2 or does both chains need to be DP?

I'm new to this kind of thing, so my office has been ordering some of these monitors. I wonder if the ethernet port can't be used to output display? I mean, if it isn't, can it even be used to open websites directly without the help of a pc via hdmi port?

Ethernet port is to get internet to your computer through USB. Does not output video

[@peterj9906]

Is it possible to switch off / on charging via USB-C port? So that I can decide if my laptop is to be charged or not when USB-C connected.

[@teohontech7141]

There's no way to switch off. Anyway don't worry about charging. Laptops nowadays are smart enough and has many battery protection features. You should check out those features within your OS settings instead.

[@carvalho_jg]

Maybe this a stupid question, but... If I have a couple of hard drives constantly connected to the monitor, and then I switch the monitor off, and the drives are also switched off, could that cause any problems to them? And what would be a good way to have the monitor off, but still have the drives powered by it?

[@teohontech7141]

Either eject the drive from OS or shut down the computer which will shut down the hard drive. Shutting down the computer will also make the monitor go to sleep so there is no need to power off the monitor

[@carvalho_jg]

​@@teohontech7141 Thanks a million for replying! So, should I always keep my Macbook on (and even prevent it from sleep) if I have my drives connected? It's a bit annoying if you're using the drives for video editing for example, and want to put your mac to sleep or have your screens off, to always have to close everything, and eject the drives. I wonder if there's a smarter way to do this.

[@teohontech7141]

​@@carvalho_jgIf your Mac goes to sleep, the drives will also go to sleep. The only issue is whether the drives can wake up when the Mac wakes up because that's problem I've seen posted by other people, but I've not experience that personally). You don't really have to think too much about how the drives are powered on or off or sleep. The OS will handle all that. There are billions of people who use external drives so there are proper processes to prevent damage through various forms of usage. The most important thing is never to plug out the drive physically while it's still in use, and or not ejected.

hi, is there any reason why you didn't go with 4k Dell monitor? or maybe based on your experience the 1440 is more than enough to represent the retina display? i'm stuck between U2722DE and P2721Q because both of them are in the same price range. my main usage will be for daily Office work, entertainment (netflix youtube etc), amateur Lightroom editing. currently i'm using 2017 macbook pro, should i go with 4k or 1440? i hope you could share some of your expertise. thank you in advance :)

[@teohontech7141]

Two reasons. With 4K display and UI scaling, some graphic design software will not show you 1:1 pixel representation at 100% zoom. And my M1 Mac Mini (2020) can drive 4K but I'm not sure if it can drive 4K smoothly.

[@fabregons]

@@teohontech7141 things are getting trickier for me since you mentioned the ability to run 4k smoothly lol in your video you also mentioned that 1440 is some kind of "sweet spot" for 27" monitor. i think i will consider 1440 more from now, its just Dell sell both at almost the same price that make it hard for me to make a decision anyway i really appreciate your time for replying my question. thank you and have a good day, sir

My U2722DE unfortunately has two lines of bright (sub) pixels on the lower bezel in the middle that permanently emit light upwards at the same strength, diagonally to the left and right. Are there people who also have this with this model? I don't know whether to return it or not. This shouldn't happen, would it? Or am I too critical?

Having dead pixels is a possibility with any monitor. But having lines of dead/bright pixels is not normal. Definitely get it changed because the problem may get worse in the future.

Hi, I am newbie for video editing. I have smaller budget here, and was thinking to get U2421HE. It has the same color profile as U2721DE, just the size and resolution different. May I ask for your advice on this? Thank you~

[@teohontech7141]

If you have limited budget, go with 100% sRGB displays instead of 100% AdobeRGB displays (anything above 80% is good) because sRGB displays are significantly more affordable than AdobeRGB displays. Then use the savings to get a 27-inch with 1440P resolution. The 1440P resolution is HUGE upgrade over 1080P resolution. Video editing apps work better on larger and and higher resolution displays. You can go with older models if they are cheaper. Display technology has matured years ago so displays years ago can look as good as new displays released today.

Make sure you set the resolution and scaling to 2560 x 1440. Note that there will be pixelation with this monitor due to the combination of lower res and large display, compared to M1 display.
