      6th or 7th gen ThinkPad X1

      Intel's HDMI port has not supported 4K/60Hz for a long time (not even 8th or 9th gen mobile CPUs). It's unclear whether Intel finally addressed this in the embedded GPU for 10/11th gen CPUs. What some people did was using the Thunderbolt 3 port to workaround it to achieve 4K/60Hz on the 7th gen NUC. That gave intel an idea to wire DisplayPort from the GPU to HDMI port (via a converter chip to achieve HDMI 2.0). Problem is, other than Intel, most makers don't want to spend money doing that and that extra chip does require proper firmware to work right.

      So, would Apple be better? Actually no. Apple's first USB-C digital AV adapter is only 4K/30Hz. You need the latest version to do 4K/60Hz.

      Awaiting a USB C to HDMI cable that is said to be able to do 4k 60hz to arrive to see if it works

      You need the correct converter and hopefully, it is a thunderbolt port.

      Generally, it's best to go nVidia or AMD GPU if you want 4K/60Hz. Intel GPU's dodgy HDMI implementation over the years is annoying for people wanting 4K. Bear in mind that Intel has used a "workaround" for at least their 8th gen and 9th gen mobile CPU with embedded GPU and for 7th gen intel mobile CPU, you will need to get a special cable (which basically has that chip).

      One last thing about USB-C to HDMI converters with 4K/60Hz capabilities. Since they were introduced back in intel 7th gen days, a lot of them aren't capable of 4K/60Hz + HDR (only 4K/60Hz without HDR). Even with Intel NUCs, correct firmware version is required for HDR to work. The latest Apple digital dongle claims to support HDR on 4K, but it can still be a pain to setup on 13 inch Macbook Pro 2017 and possibly 2018 as well. Not to mention that dongle is the most expensive and compatibility with PC/laptops isn't guaranteed.

        Just a correction. Intel 7th gen NUC requires DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converter. It was due to that, intel simply copied the idea in 8th gen and 9th gen NUCs (wired DisplayPort to LSConn chip, converting it to HDMI 2.0 port, instead of making the native HDMI port to be HDMI 2.0/a).

        • albot on 08/10/2020 - 11:12

          Thanks for you comprehensive insight, I just thought it was a 'wrong/old version' problem.
          AND I just learned that DP carries audio! Mind blown…

          • netsurfer on 08/10/2020 - 11:14

            @albot: Well, another interesting question is whether FreeSync works on HDMI ports or only DisplayPort. Did Dell (or LG - I am guessing is the panel maker) cheap out???

      • Navii on 09/10/2020 - 21:17

        Much appreciate all this info!

    • Navii on 09/10/2020 - 21:22

      Ok I got this cable:

      https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B086FR588M/ref=ppx_yo_d…

      Works with my Huawei MateBook 13 (2019) and the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (6th gen) too. Silky smooth 60hz.

      edit: the dongle is quite chunky so it was a bit of a squeeze into HDMI port 2.

  • neonlight on 08/10/2020 - 11:21

    No change here ordered Oct 3rd still ETA 2nd Nov. that's for the 32" curved

    My order just got delayed into late nov. Was hoping to get it before the PS5 is released. Any know how easy the cancellation process is with Dell? Just submitted a form.

      me too, my original delivery date was supposed to be next Monday, now it’s 23 Nov, what the hell, such an disappointment

        Same here, and I'm mad. How can they sell a product as "available", then turn around and say it will take 2 months for delivery? On my order, it said that delivery was supposed to be today.

        • atomicpnut on 09/10/2020 - 12:20

          yep, absolutely disappointing, i told the customer rep that when in placed the order it said that if i was in the sydney CBD it would be next day delivery, if that was the case how can it magically now be 50+ days for my ETA if it was actually available ?, my mate i work with is part of a dell "influencer" program for his youtube channel who they throw items at, im going to pass the feedback on through him so i can get some feedback from their Australian office :S

    • Sidog on 08/10/2020 - 22:44

        2 Oct, the same day as you

          I feel like mine was saying later in October when I last looked at it, I was actually surprised when it turned up yesterday as I didn't even realise it had been shipped. It could be your's will come early as well and there estimates are just longer then usual because of Covid.

          • icefire09 on 08/10/2020 - 23:25

            @Sidog: I really hope so man, maybe because I live in Melbourne and it’s currently in lockdown?

      • [Deactivated] on 08/10/2020 - 23:00

        Nice, one of the lucky ones! I'm in Perth, might have something to do with it.

    Mine just got delayed from October 13 to late November… Definitely not cool

    • atomicpnut on 09/10/2020 - 12:10

      I got the same email and cancelled, not a great customer experience either after being ping ponged through 4 departments to cancel the order only to be sent back to the person i first spoke with :S

    • Sunproof on 13/10/2020 - 11:57

      As an update - mine has been shipped. I contacted customer service and they said it would come between late Oct to early Nov. They then sent me a personal email today stating it would come earlier.

  • Sidog on 09/10/2020 - 11:24

    Set mine up yesterday, gotta say looks pretty mint and pretty happy with it for the price.

    I primarily got it for the ps5 but was able to run Forza 4 at 4k 60 on my gaming laptop and it looked amazing.

    The HDR I'm not so sure about, but wasn't expecting much for the price, might have to play around with the settings but just made things look really saturated and with crazy high contrast.

    I hooked up the PS4 and the HDR looked a little better but again things looked really saturated but not as bad as Forza on the gaming PC, might have to check the hdmi specs on the laptop.

    I also connected it to a late 2012 iMac which was pretty interesting, I knew the iMac doesn't output 4k but was not liking being connected to this monitor lot of flickering and weird colours. Ended up downloading a tool called ScreenResX and manually setting the display to 2k 60hz and it runs fine enough.

    Also should point out running Windows 10 at 150% scale for text and apps looks great, heaps sharper then a 27 inch FHD monitor.

    My monitor arrived this morning. Here’s what I found in regards to HDCP:

    1. It passed the HDCP 2.2 test by Cyberlink
    2. I was able to stream 4k Netflix using the app + HEVC Video Extension. I used Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to confirm this
    3. I borrowed a friend’s PS4 Pro. The PlayStation said that it was HDCP 2.3 (in the Video Output Information menu)

    It's worth noting that I bought the S2721QS model. May need to confirm if S2721Q is identical (except for the stand).

    • Sze Kai on 09/10/2020 - 16:18

      Hi! So the movies/series in the Netflix app says UHD 4k? That's great!

      • Fofolopoulous on 09/10/2020 - 17:47

        Yep! It said playing bitrate was 3840 x 2160. There were quite a few hoops to jump through to get it to work off a laptop but I got there in the end.

    • Sidog on 09/10/2020 - 17:49

      did you play around with any of the HDR settings at all?

      • Fofolopoulous on 09/10/2020 - 18:04

        Haven't attempted any HDR content on my laptop, I think it would be a struggle. My friend got it working on the PS4 Pro fairly easily but we didn't experiment with any of the settings unfortunately.

    • Yuri Lowell on 09/10/2020 - 18:49

      Thanks for the confirmation. I had a feeling it was a typo/misinformation from Dell regarding HDCP. Can't wait to get mine. Awesome price for a decent all around 4K monitor.

    Got mine delayed to 23 Nov too! What a joke! If they don't have the stock, why did they still allow us to order and take our money? This wasn't a "pre-order"! Cancelled my order thru their order support :(

  • rgame on 10/10/2020 - 10:48

    I cancelled my order as well, I just called them on Tuesday and they cancelled at the same day. I ordered on 05/10 and the delivery time was 23/11

  • punkfans on 10/10/2020 - 17:36

    Can't believe I am still waiting for my eBay order places on 18/09 while some order from this deal is already delivered. Mind you, they might use Star Track for delivery. They sent out yesterday for delivery and marked "Attempted delivery - Unsuccessful." at 5:46pm. I was home all day and no one came. Now it's back to Tullamarine airport not local post office. Pathetic.

  • fredk1000 on 12/10/2020 - 22:17

    FYI;

    Hello

    I am glad to report that on my S2721Q and my XBox One S that I can play UHD Bluray discs.

    Xbox One S 4K TV Details;

    Watching Movies and TV
    Does not Support 4K at 50Hz
    Your TV Supports 4K 10-bit at 60Hz
    Your TV setup doesn't support all HDR10 modes
    Your TV setup doesn't support Dolby Vision

    So does support HDCP 2.2

    Unfortunately on my PC I need to go and buy a DP cable, my PC has a DP to HDMI converter which seems not to support 4K (hopefully it is the converter and not the videocard). So just running on FHD for PC currently.
    :(

    Also testing for colour evenness on a pure, white and then black screen I do see corners dark and grey edges on a white screen and bright corners on a black screen. But I believe this is consistent with IPS screens.

    Hope this info helps.

    Fred

    • fredk1000 on 12/10/2020 - 23:40

      Just tested with my laptop via HDMI, it is super sharp. But my eyes are crap, so I would need to put in 125, 150% scaling but can read it at 100% though.
      I just noticed that viewing position in front of the monitor is important. With my vision centre to the screen, and looking to the edges of the display, it looks curved about 5mm but if you move you eyes perpendicular to the edges, the curving disappears. That is giving the effect of the grey edges, the viewing angle to the edges. Maybe that is a large screen thing.

    • jennifert on 14/10/2020 - 11:01

    S2721Q Dell…………can anyone tell me could i plug in a 4K dongle for tv streaming from netflix, and other 4k streamers. https://store.google.com/au/product/chromecast_google_tv_spe… I wan the Dell monitor for my office, but my son had asked me to make sure we can plug a donlge in to 4K stream. I am a bit confused reading all the replies sorry. thanks for any advice

  • jennifert on 14/10/2020 - 10:43

    Just to add to my above comment. I also wanted to maybe use a ROKU wifi fi 4K dongle. The only requirement ROKU has is that the monitor supports………4K UHD HDR TVs Supports HDR10. TV must have an HDMI input that supports HDCP 2.2
    So perhaps fredk1000 who has this monitor or somebody else could answer please. thank you

    • fredk1000 on 14/10/2020 - 11:31

      I can say for 100% sure it supports HDCP 2.2

      Please read my comments here;
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/572353

      The manual mentions HDR but not HDCP specifically. But you cannot play this content without it!

      https://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_elect…

      Page 63
      Requirements to view or playback HDR content
      (1) Through Ultra BluRay DVD or Game consoles
      Ensure the DVD player or Game console is HDR capable, such as Panasonic
      DMP-UB900, Xbox One S, and PS4 Pro.
      (2) Through a PC
      Ensure the graphics card used is HDR capable, i.e., it has a HDMI2.0a (with HDR
      option) compliant port and HDR graphics driver is installed. HDR capable
      application program must be used, such as Cyberlink PowerDVD 17, Windows 10
      Movies & TV app.

      I can play UHD Blurays so it must have HDCP 2.2

      Other people mentioned Netflix as well and it worked for them?

      If the Netflix dongle goes in via HDMI like a Chromecast, it should work fine.

      Hope this helps.

      Get it you wont be disappointed.

      The monitor supports HDR but I do not think it is HDR10, I am not sure if the HDR is implemented very well either. It is a monitor and not a TV.

      • jennifert on 14/10/2020 - 11:40

        thank you.
        I just read a Dell support question also.
        Great news from you and others. Supports netflix and disney 4k etc. This is from Dell

        DELL Support -U2718Q, HDR and HDMI version please not any confusion clarified.

        The U2718Q supports Dell HDR, HDMI 2.0a, and backward compatible to HDMI 2.0.

        The U2718Q User's Guide states on;
        page 7 = HDR compatible with HDMI 2.0a

        Based on that statement on page 7, we can infer that the following references should have "a" included =
        page 12 should read = HDMI 2.0a (HDCP 2.2)
        page 14 should read =
        Requires a graphics card that supports HDMI 2.0a
        HDMI 2.0a, 600 mV for each differential line, 100 ohm input impedance per differential pair.

        I have just purchased. Very happy/

        • fredk1000 on 14/10/2020 - 11:47

          Great.

          You wish Dell would just say it supports HDCP 2.2 in the spec, there is no info that specifically mentions HDCP.
          To throw things off the S3221qs, the 32" version actually mentions it specifically has HDCP 2.2!
          And there was misinformation out there to confuse everyone.

          Dell did not think it was important to mention it to the 27" models.

          I think you will be very happy with it.

          No one mentions it but the PIP/PBP feature is very nice too, being able to see two input sources at once.

    From DELL.

    Just to confirm. see manual. HDCP 2.2 supported.

    And from tech support HDMI 2.0a supported.

    And note from dell support.

    page 12 should read = HDMI 2.0a (HDCP 2.2)
    page 14 should read =
    Requires a graphics card that supports HDMI 2.0a
    HDMI 2.0a, 600 mV for each differential line, 100 ohm input impedance per differential pair.
