Review Dell UltraSharp U2724D, First Impression about True 120Hz Graphic Monitor

13-03-2024, 5:33 pm

Preliminary Explanation

True Graphic Computer Monitor Has True 120Hz Frequency, Believe It Or Not? In fact, a screen for filming, photography, design or a beautiful color screen with a high scanning frequency is still commonly produced as a Gaming Monitor system.

Because they are not only equipped with an extremely high Refresh Rate of up to 240Hz along with an ultra-short Response Time of up to 0.5ms. They are also measured and color-aligned to the best level based on a series of impressive parameters (such as sRGB 100%, NTSC 72% and DCI-P3 greater than 85% with Delta E always smaller than <2).

Because of this type of production, the vast majority of users have decided to "choose instant, one-time only" gaming monitor products with smooth colors. Depending on usage features, design materials as well as panel size (24 inches/27 inches/32 inches), a screen like the above will cost from 200$ to 600$.

120Hz True Graphics Display

In terms of convenience, users can still use a gaming and graphics monitor to process software effects (like Adobe Creative Cloud) and, if necessary, PLAY GAMES (frame rate lower than 144 FPS).

However, a true graphics monitor equipped with a TRUE 120Hz frequency still possesses the ability to display extremely comprehensive colors with pre-Tuned customization from the manufacturer (sRGB, BT.709, DCI-P3 and Display P3) WHERE TO FIND IT?

 

THE ANSWER IS NOT HARD with the FOUR newly launched products from Dell UltraSharp in 2024 including: Dell UltraSharp U2424H, Dell UltraSharp U2424HE, Dell UltraSharp U2724D and Dell UltraSharp U2724DE.

These are the 4 versions of the newest, best and most outstanding screen generation (SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTING IN OWN DIRECTIONS), evolving from 60Hz and 75Hz to TRUE 120Hz.

Because the number of products in the first batch is not much, An Phat Computer decided to choose the detailed review content in this article: The Dell UltraSharp U2724D Monitor. OK, BEGIN!

 

Overview Unboxing 

The box of the Dell UltraSharp U2724D has not changed in appearance until you look closely at its 5 surface corners (yes, you don't know if you haven't touched it yet).

 


That's right, except for the exterior color design and Dolphin Logo handle (couple of dolphins) identical to the Dell U2722D and Dell U2723QE models, the U2724D only has one most different highlight in the information introduction stream called " Boost capability. Vivid color, fast connectivity, high refresh rate.

 

 


(Illustrative image of Dell UltraSharp U2410F monitor product)

I also have to admit: This is the first Black True 120Hz IPS screen after 14 years of the Dell UltraSharp generation since the Dell U2410F screen was first launched in 2010. A BREAKTHROUGH IN GRAPHIC SCREEN HIGH SCAN FREQUENCY.

 

What's in the Box?

As always, we will have full equipment, accessories and instructions including:

1x Dell UltraSharp U2724D Monitor with active matrix, Thin Film Transistor (TFT), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and LED backlight with standard size 68.47 cm (27.0 in.)
1x Stand riser
1x Stand base
1x Power Cord (varies by country, however I have actual pictures below)
1x 1.8M DisplayPort Cable (DisplayPort to DisplayPort)
1x USB-C 1.0M Cable (Type-A to Type-C)
1x Quick Setup Guide
1x Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Guide
1x Factory Calibration Report

**

 

 

Setup Guide

To attach the bracket to the screen joint in detail, you need to follow each step:

Step 1: Open the front cover to get the stand lift bar and stand.

Step 2: Align and install the stand lifting frame onto the stand base (with the letter H) (1).

Step 3: Open the screw handle at the bottom of the stand base and turn clockwise to secure the stand assembly (2).

Step 4. Fasten the screw handle (3).

-

Step 5: Open the protective cover on the screen to access the VESA slot on the screen.

Step 6: Carefully install the tabs on the stand riser into the slots on the back of the monitor, then cover and press down on the stand assembly to snap it into place.

Step 7: Hold the stand lift bracket and carefully lift the screen, then place the screen on a flat surface.

Step 8: Remove the protective cover from the screen.

 

Design Features

Except for the stand design (stand + stand is exactly the same) compared to previous versions (U2422H, U2722D, U2723QE...) with a few identification symbols "can be installed together" as : U2424H, U2724D, U2724DE with 12-axle lifting and lowering frame, THIS Dell UltraSharp U2724D monitor only has a blue sticker "GENUINE PRODUCT".

 


Although this sticker does not make much difference in terms of design, it will help you remember the address to access the Dell homepage "www.dell.com/support/home/en-vn" and switchboard phone number "Free call 1800 4851 when there is a problem".

 


Regarding ergonomics, you can still raise and lower it 150mm, tilt it up 21 degrees, tilt it down 5 degrees, rotate it diagonally 45 degrees, and rotate it vertically 90 degrees.

 

Depending on how the furniture and equipment are arranged in the room and on the desk, you can choose to rotate vertically 90 degrees to the right or left (whatever).

 

If it were me, I would choose to rotate vertically to the right 90 degrees, because when I rotate like that, the two Power Button and Joystick Button switches will move down and be on the left hand side, as will all the connection ports. facing out to the left (convenient for using two screens). When I rotate to the left, the PB and JB keys will be in the upper right corner.

 

Thus, screen number 1 (main upright) will be placed in the inner right corner, while screen number 2 (secondary rotated vertically) will be placed in the outer left corner. EXCELLENT SETUP!

 

 

In addition to setting up two main horizontal screens and one secondary vertical screen as above, the Dell UltraSharp U2724D can also be converted into two PARALLEL MONITORS or 3 SERIAL MONITORS thanks to the DisplayPort (out) and DisplayPort (in) connection ports. and MST (DP Multi-Stream Transport) or MMS (Multi-Monitor Sync) control panel function as shown above.

 

There is another design highlight that few people probably know about this 120Hz screen. A design that makes a complete difference compared to all previous generations in automatic light control (Auto Brightness) and automatic color temperature (Auto Color Temp.), that is the Ambient Light Sensor.

 

This is a special light sensor located above the screen that "detects ambient light and adjusts brightness according to the corresponding display state".

IT MEANS: If the ambient light sensor detects an abnormality in terms of light level changes, it will change the screen brightness, contrast and color temperature IMMEDIATELY (You can give Cross your hand back and forth over the sensor area to test this OR turn on all the lights in the room, then turn them off).

 

 

NOTE: It is necessary to activate the Auto Brightness function with automatic color temperature adjustment (Auto Color Temp.) to be able to use the Ambient Light Sensor.

 

Connection Port

All ports and connections of the Dell UltraSharp U2724D are integrated into the rear control circuit board and partly below the screen with an extremely reasonable layout arranged in order from left to right as follows:

 

Main-Port

1x Security lock slot: Secures screen with security cable lock (sold separately, not included). (Secure your monitor to the table using a Kensington security lock).

1x Power connector: Connect the power cable.

1x HDMI port: Connect your computer using an HDMI cable.

1x DisplayPort (in): Connect your computer with a DisplayPort cable.

1x Stand lock: Lock the stand to the monitor with M3 x 8 mm screws (screws not included).

1x USB-C downstream port: Connect your USB device (Port with icon supports 5 V/3 A). You can use this port only after you have connected a USB cable (A to C or C to C) from the computer to the monitor.

 

Function Button

Dell U2724D only uses 2 single operation buttons (Power Button & Joystick Button) to control all functions in the screen's OSD Setting.

 

- Power Button: Press the button to turn on/off the screen.

- Joystick Button: Press the middle button of the 5-way Joystick (Joystick) to open the OSD Menu Launcher. Move the Joystick up/down/left/right to switch between OSD menu options.

 

 

Dell UltraSharp's Main Menu allows you to adjust the intensity and activation mode of 8 main functions:

 

Brightness/Contrast: Adjust Brightness, Contrast, Auto Brightness, Auto Brightness Range Level, Auto Color Temp., Primary Monitor for Sync and Reset Brightness/Contrast.

Input Source: Choose between different video inputs connected to your monitor.

Color: Adjust color settings.

Display: Use the Display menu to adjust the picture.

 



PIP/PBP: This function will appear a window displaying images from another input source. Adjust PIP or PBP (Picture by Picture) mode. You can turn this feature off by selecting Off.

Menu: Select this option to adjust the OSD settings, such as the language of the OSD, the amount of time the menu remains on screen, etc.

Personalize: Option to set personal shortcuts for functions (Preset Modes, Brightness/Contrast, Auto Brightness, Auto Color Temp., Input Source, Aspect Ratio, Rotation, PIP/PBP Mode, Video Swap, and Display Info).

Other: Select this option to adjust OSD settings such as DDC/CI, LCD Conditioning, etc.

** DDC/CI (Display Data Channel/Command Interface) allows your monitor parameters (brightness, color balance, and etc.) to be adjusted via software on the computer. You can turn this feature off by selecting Off. Enable this feature for the best user experience and optimized performance of your display.

 

Management Software

 

In terms of graphics conversion, of all the features above OSD Setting, I'm really only interested in Preset Modes and Input Color Format. That's right, because when I select this function, I can adjust some colors according to the effect mode as its name suggests: Standard, Movie, Game, Color Temp., Color Space or Custom Color.

Not only that, Color Temp Mode. This Dell UltraSharp U2724D also allows you to adjust the K temperature (K Temperature) in each segment from warmest to coldest: 5000K - 5700K - 6500K - 7500K - 9300K and 10000K.

The default for this mode is 6500K with the ability to display a warmer screen with a super light yellow color (extremely good at preventing eye strain). You can choose 5700K (dark yellow red) or 7500K (light blue) depending on your current viewing angle and eyesight.

** If you wear glasses with a Blue Low Filter, you will also feel a little different about the red, yellow or light blue color.

 

The most prominent thing to mention in this Color Settings is the Input Format Color and Color Space Mode (which has never appeared before in the Dell UltraSharp line).

 

With Input Format Color, you can adjust back and forth between two common modes: RGB and YCbCr.

 

What is RGB & YCbCr?

 

- RGB: Familiar color mode Red-Green-Blue.

- YCbCr (or YCC): Realistic approximation color mode for color processing and perceptual uniformity, where primary colors correspond to red, green, and blue Blue is processed into meaningful information.

Y′CbCr is used to separate the luma signal (Y′) that can be stored with high resolution or transmitted at high bandwidth and the two chroma components (CB and CR) that can reduce the bandwidth, multiplexing repackaged, compressed, or processed separately to improve system efficiency.

 

(sRGB vs. DCI-P3)

 



(sRGB vs. Display P3)

 

With Color Space, you can flexibly adjust and change 4 international standard colors including: sRGB, BT.709, DCI-P3, Display P3. These are also 4 color indexes previously calibrated by Dell through measuring equipment (Test Equipment: CA-210/CA-310/CA-2000S/Chroma 2326/2235/2233).

 

Dell Color Management (DCM)

These 4 common colors are also included in Dell's exclusive color management software - Dell Color Management (DCM), helping you easily convert between sRGB and BT.709, DCI-P3, Display P3 via Dashboard and Advanced.

 

Dell Display Manager 2.x (DDM)

(Adjust Display Setting up to 2560 x 1440, 120Hz)

 

(Comprehensive adjustment of Color Setting from Color Temp. to Color Space)

 



(Adjust Easy Arrange Setting from 2 Windows to 7 Windows or More)

 

Even Dell Display Manager has been upgraded to the latest version at this time (2024) to add multi-mode system management functionality to the latest streamed displays. Its name is Dell Display Manager 2.x (Installer capacity is about 65Mb).

Color Index

The color index of the Dell UltraSharp U2724D must be called EXCELLENT at the proposed price when achieving measurement data from Test Equipment SpyderXElite 5.9.

 

100% of sRGB

89% of AdobeRGB

97% of P3

87% of NTSC

 


Customizing the brightness at 5 different settings from 0% to 100% gives a very surprising result when the Brightness level reaches 289.2 Nits, while the Black level is only 0.24 (EXTREMELY SMALL), contrast (Contrast) 1190:1 and white point color temperature (White Point) 7200.

 

At this color temperature white point level of White Point 7200, the Dell U2724D Monitor will display a slightly more "bluish & grayish" color bias of about 12%. You can take a closer look in the Color Accuracy section.

Regarding the Tone Response, the Dell U2724D is quite close to the color gamut measurement index of 2.0 (0.01) when not calibrated - one of the extremely standard and balanced gammas with heavy power savings, instead gives gamma 1.8 a brighter intensity on some screens.

 

Not stopping there, the color accuracy of the U2724D is also very impressive, reaching an average Delta E=1.41 (Average) index when measured in the 48 ID Data Color color palette. Although some dark grays are slightly better than the Delta E=2 balance, in terms of overall color accuracy, this is not an important issue.

Because when An Phat Computer processed the color correction, they returned to the index level of 100% COMPREHENSIVE, I HAVE TO SAY PERFECT!



- 100% of sRGB turns into 100% of sRGB

- 89% of AdobeRGB turns into 100% of AdobeRGB

- 97% of P3 turns into 100% of P3

- 87% of NTSC turns into 100% of NTSC

Great Comparison

Dell UltraSharp U2724D & U2724DE

Although the Dell U2724D and U2724DE versions are identical in size, style and color. However, the difference between these two products is the letter E (short for Ethernet, plus RJ45 Network port). That's not all, the Dell U2724DE also provides you with additional accessories and port functions as follows (of course, the price of the Dell U2724DE is also higher).

1x Thunderbolt™ 4 cable - 1.0 m (additional accessory).

1x Thunderbolt™ 4 downstream port (15W) for display daisy-chaining.

1x Thunderbolt™ 4 upstream port (used for both data + video reception), replaces the DisplayPort 1.4 port function, transmits power up to 90W.

1x USB Type-C upstream port (data only) (SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2).

1x USB Type-A downstream port (SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2).

 

** Daisy Chain = Connect a second monitor to the first monitor using the first monitor's DP output port and the second monitor's DP port or mDP port. The first monitor must support DP 1.2/MST enabled or enabled in the OSD (On Screen Display) Menu and must have a DP output port.

 

Dell UltraSharp U2724D & U2723QE

Although Dell U2724D (2K) and Dell U2723QE (4K) differ in resolution and some connection ports, the color depth index bit depth (10 bits = 8 bits + frc), overall color (1.07 billion colors), IPS Black, DCI-P3 98% and sRGB 100% panels are all identical.




 

The comparative analysis images above are in order: U2723QE (left) U2724D (right).

 

Although the price of the Dell U2723QE is much higher than the Dell U2724D due to the higher 4K resolution density (3840 x 2160), has more connection ports and is more carefully color calibrated (Delta E<1).

 

** Immediately after you buy the Dell UltraSharp U2724D, you should install Dell Display Manager and Dell Color Management software, and also adjust the Response Time (from Normal 8ms to Fast 5ms).

 

Evaluation Summary

It can be said that the Dell UltraSharp U2724D Computer Monitor is one of the very rare 120Hz graphics monitors (or should we say extremely rare) equipped with a 2K - QHD - IPS Black, 10 bits, 1.07 panel. billion colors, 60-75-120Hz refresh rate with response time up to Fast 5ms at an affordable price on the market, providing an exceptional ergonomic experience for both console gaming, studying and entertainment with vivid images, meeting any user's demanding experience needs.
