  • It says "Features VESA interface support", does anyone know if it's 75 or 100?

    • Fairly sure this model doesn’t support a Vesa mount.

      • Cheers

        Thanks mafroew as well

      • It doesn’t, but there is an aftermarket adaptor available.

    • +1

      VESA is an acronym for the name of the standards body (Video Electronics Standards Association).

      The "interface" is relating to how you connect to it.

      As the other comment stated, no VESA mount (aka FDMI)

      Link to manual

      • +4

        It seems silly not to have a Vesa mount in this day and age, but looking at the monitor they obviously wanted a sleek and sexy look, so I can understand why they have left it off..

        • Couldn't they just use a cover for the VESA mount area that sits flush with the rest of the rear of the display? Dell's done that before with their other monitors.

          • @skittlebrau: Dunno, but since it's marketed as an "ultra-thin" monitor it may be due to the extra thickness that would be needed to reinforce it all to handle a vesa mount…

      • surely VESA are taking the piss naming their mount FDMI when HDMI exists and is a completely different monitor-related thing.

        • +2

          HDMI hasn't been around as long as FDMI and the previous version FPMPMI was around for more than 5 years before HDMI….. So….

  • I bought this around a month ago for $597 :(

    • How do you rate this monitor based on your use?

      • +5

        It's great, bright and vibrant colours! I use it for WFH and some light gaming on the side and works well for that.

        One quirk I noticed was that FreeSync and HDR is only supported when using a HDMI connection. With USB-C these features are not available.

        I also noticed a few bright pixels 2 weeks after I bought the monitor and Dell promptly replaced it with a brand new monitor, great warranty service.

        • HDR only on HDMI… that kind of defeats the purpose of why I would get this particular type of monitor…

          • @ATangk: Reason is the DisplayPort version. This monitor supports DisplayPort 1.2 (over USB-C) but HDR is only supported on DisplayPort 1.4 and above.

            • @fastnet: I feel like some looking to buy this monitor would use it to supplement a laptop. For those, this monitor's appeal would be both HDR and the Usb-C passthrough feature, but itd be disappointing when they miss out on HDR unless they use HDMI, which most laptop users wont.

              • @ATangk: Power Delivery on USB-C is only around 45W which isn't much. The macbook pro 15" needs 85W.

                • @pennypincher: This is another reason why I was looking at the Philips b line monitors.

                • @pennypincher: it mostly works in practise. Just takes a long time to charge (like 4-5hrs from empty to full, vs the normal mac charger which takes 1hr or so).

    • +1

      Get another? Dual set up!

  • +1

    Hmmm stand has no height adjust too …

    • Gotta cut costs somewhere, right?

    • I have one of these, and unless you have a poor desk setup, it doesn't make much difference at all. I find the default heigh is perfect,

  • I had this monitor for 18 months and swapped it for the Dell S3221QS recently. If you don't need 32" then most other things about this monitor are better. It's brighter, has better viewing angles and the colours are amazing. Plus the USB C power delivery is really handy. At this price it's an amazing deal.

  • 600 nits, wow that's double the usual!

    • +1

      That's pretty impressive tbh, I think I've read that "proper" HDR support should be 1000 nits but honestly I've just got a 400 nit screen and I have to turn the brightness down, even during the day in a well or room

      • 600 is fine if it has good local dimming (which this doesn't, I don't think?). It's really about the difference between darks and brights

        • HDR 600 cert needs local dimming.

        • Doesn’t mention FALD in the manual, only edge lit

          It’s a requirement of HDR600 to have local dimming - my guess is it has a couple of vertical zones to be compliant but they wouldn’t be effective at all

  • this might be the cheapest hdr600 ips monitor

  • Why is the hz never listed anywhere?

    • +1

      If it's not listed assume 60 (this one is 60Hz).

    • If it's not a selling point, e.g. 144Hz, it doesn't get its own headline.

      The refresh rate is right in the tech specs, its not exactly hidden.

      Native Resolution

      QHD 2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz

  • Quite low contrast ratio 1000:1 for an IPS montior, as far as I understand.
    I'm not very well-versed with monitors; is this bad and would I notice the effects?

    • +2

      Pretty sure 1000:1 is par for IPS

    • +3

      Most IPS get 1000:1 ; some might push to 1300. You need to go VA or OLED to get higher

  • Bought it for $100 more a couple months back! Amazing monitor for this price!!

  • How come this monitor which has a QHD resolution, 16.7 million colours and higher input lag is more expensive that the Dell 27 4K UHD Monitor - S2721QS which has 4K HDR, 1 billion colours and a better contrast ratio as well. This monitor has USB connection while the 4K monitor doesn't. So what is the big deal with USB connection monitor anyway? Can't people use HDMI/Display Port instead?

    • +1

      Single cable for display, peripherals and power delivery to a laptop.

    • +1

      It appeals to a certain group of people who want one cable that can display and charge their laptop at the same time. It’s the price of convenience.

    • +3

      This monitor is quoting HDR600. Generally, HDR600 is where proper HDR starts. HDR400 is a gimmick. It's a standard created to allow monitor makers to put HDR on monitors. You might think it is just 250 nits more. However, on IPS, good backlight costs more.

      Another feature is the USB-C with integrated Hub. However, all S-series monitors tend to cut corners one way or another. The USB-PD is 45W (and there is not enough info on how well the e-marking is done). Regardless, that's more work and more hardware. You can sort of get away with MBP 13 inch (using 45W USB-PD, not ideal, but doable). Lenovo laptops probably will show up with a warning stating it is not charging at a fast rate (assuming correct e-marking). The biggest issue is the limited DP 1.2 alt mode support, which means no HDR in USB-C/alt-mode. Also, no height adjustable stand nor VESA monitor mount support.

      This monitor is trying to entice two groups of people. People wanting USB-C/PD and HDR isn't a big deal when doing general work. The other group is people want HDR600. People in the first group could use HDMI to get HDR.

      Don't get me wrong, the S2721QS deal is good value for money. However, there is a reason Dell didn't put HDR400 in there officially. Also, that contrast ratio, is that static or dynamic? The 'fake' HDR marketing is working, but if we want to nitpick this monitor, we cannot really simply rate not even quite HDR400 (which is fake HDR anyway) to be = to HDR600.

      • Very well put explanation. Thanks champ.

      • Could you please recommend better monitor for MBP 13? My budget is $500-600. Thanks

        • +1

          There is no USB-C monitor in <$600 price range that I would recommend. Technically, USB-C monitors cost more because:

          • The monitor needs to provide a chip to support USB-C/Alt-mode. Cheaper monitors won't opt for Thunderbolt 3 based chipset (too expensive).
          • USB-PD needs to be implemented, that adds cost to power circuit.
          • There is a trade off between bandwidth on the display side vs USB 3.0 data ports (USB-C port bandwidth is finite, you cannot allocate everything to display if you still want USB 3.0 data pass through). Apple branded 5K monitor can only offer USB 2.0 ports (very little bandwidth left once 5K display portion took majority of the bandwidth away).
          • A decent USB-C/USB-C cable needs to be included (as it needs to be good enough for power, and fast data). The e-marking better be flawless otherwise it could run into compatibility issue.
          • You then need to have decent specs to entice people to divert the attention away from those additional costs.

          USB-C, good in theory, buy consumers do pay the price if you really want full on USB-C.

        • You can catch some great deals on AS NEW and REFURB units from Dell Outlet.
          Not very often recently for obvious reasons but last year U3419W was $659 delivered.
          I'd keep an eye if not in a hurry. It's a different story if need for WFH now.

          • +2

            @[Deactivated]: When you look at it carefully, some key issues remain (but the USB-PD issue is addressed + a better stand):

            • 1 x USB Type-C (DisplayPort DP1.2 Alternate Mode,Power Delivery, and USB2.0): This again reflects what I mentioned. If you elected to go single USB-C port for the lot, the USB ports on the monitor drop to USB 2.0. This is due to chipset limitation, tech limitation on USB-C bandwidth (+ cost) and the ultrawide resolution requiring more bandwidth on the graphics side.
            • The monitor does offer USB upstream port(s) to alleviate the USB 2.0 issue, BUT for MBPs, that means you need to use 2 ports. If so, it somewhat defeats the USB-C single port advantage.
            • Yes, the 90W PD at least could save you one port and is more than enough for a 13 inch MBP.
            • No HDR support so this avoids DP 1.2 alt mode not having enough bandwidth to do HDR.
            • Height adjustable stand is good.

            I doubt the embedded USB hub is USB 3.1 gen 2 (most likely USB 3.1 gen 1 / 3.0). This means in the MBP world, it kinda feels like a downgrade connecting a second USB-C port to the monitor.

            Again, USB-C, good in theory. However, when you (i.e. Apple) strip out all other ports, you really wonder whether that's actually better or it's more about saving cost.

            • @netsurfer: Yeah, I think you're correct here.
              I use it with MBP 15 with a single cable no problems though.
              Understand your point regarding USB 2.0 but it really depends what a person wanna use the USB hub for.
              If I needed USB 3 speed, I'd connect directly to Mac. For me, it's chargers, camera, gps and similar with no benefit from USB 3.
              Saying that, I barely use any directly connected peripheral devices. Storage and printers are network connected; USB sticks have almost no use for me.
              So I agree with what you're saying while taking into consideration that it's very individual what's important and not.

              • +1

                @[Deactivated]: That's the thing. It makes sense for most people to compromise (due to price). Problem is, this whole USB-C is rather complicated and people don't look at it in depth.

                Most people don't care and don't understand USB-C/Alt mode fully. When you look at both monitors in depth, you cannot help but wonder whether Dell designed both monitors for the PCs. Hence, it is not pushing for / utilising full Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth. PC users won't mind the upstream ports. Or, one might argue Dell opted for the common denominator approach. Sensible business decision though.

                But, is that really right for people with MBPs and/or Intel NUCs or PCs with Thunderbolt 3 ports? To be fair, Apple also screwed up on a number of Apple USB-C accessories. Sure, if you have the latest revisions, Apple fixed them, but if you have the earlier versions… well… that's bad luck. At the end of the day, monitors utilising full TB3 bandwidth (in alt mode) do cost more (as 2X bandwidth requires more work and better chipset).

  • Dammit. If only it had vertical rotation

    Before you buy!

    Hey guys, I recently bought at 27" 4k Dell monitor, the deal was on OzB about a week ago. Same as this deal, it was from Dell. Delivery was estimated to arrive by the 15th of October, (SYD to BRIS). I got an email 4 days after the purchase confirmation saying delivery is now delayed to ~25th November. Not sure if this may apply to their other appliances, just be warned it could be a good month and a half before you receive your purchase.

  • Cheaper to avoid this code and go through CashRewards for 6% off monitors, currently. Brings the price down to $492.80.
