🖥️ Dell S2721D: Ultra Thin DisplayPort Certified QHD2560X1440P Monitor with 75Hz Refresh Rate, Built-In Speakers, and HD Clarity Review

I bought this monitor in 2021 on a work grant. It worked great for about a year and I was overall happy with it. About a year after purchase, the power cord stopped working. The power cord, in particular, no longer fitted properly into the outlet and was making faint electrical noises as if it weren't plugged in. I google this issue, it's VERY COMMON on Dell monitors and people on the internet are pointing out to seek warranty support. Luckily my monitor was just under warranty so I go through…

This monitor is great overall! However, I honestly didn't expect to have to deal with any technical issues, but I went through some learning curves to fix the weird issues I've been encountering since I bought my "first" 4K@60Hz.1 monitor have. Old cables. Don't expect any of your old cables to "work properly" in 4K at 60Hz2. Certified cables. Regardless of HDMI or DisplayPort cables and adapters, I've found the hard way that these cable providers claim to be "certified" to guarantee bright and

I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro and a 27-inch Thunderbolt display to work from my office, so I needed to maximize space with my personal device on the same desk. I bought a VESA wall mount and this 27" Dell monitor to use with my personal 13" M1 MacBook Pro (via USB-C dock). I am very happy with this facility. The resolution is perfect for text (since that's what I mainly use it for) and it pairs automatically and seamlessly with my Mac via a third-party dock (HDMI). I was even pleasantly…

It's a good monitor, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get a clear picture on my Macbook Pro. Since a modern Mac only has USBC (that really sucks), I have to run it from the dock. In my experience, no matter what the dock specs say, you'll never get the best results if you have to start converting different connection types. I hooked up my old laptop via HDMI and the picture has improved somewhat but still not to the level I was expecting or advertised. There is also a discrepancy in…

A very good monitor for the price. The only problem I had was with HDR. HDR looked the same as the default. What was very different in terms of image quality were the black levels in the settings menu. I oversaturated the colors and really made a splash. For some games it looked nice and bright, but for others - too much. It was generally natural colors so I ended up bringing it back as the HDR looked worse than on my old monitor.

1440P@75Hz IPS is the perfect monitor. Colors are beautiful, resolution is crisp, and frame rates are smooth. Response time is perfect for first-person shooters. The monitor is nice and big, with at least two application windows open side by side. When I got this monitor it was only $220 before tax but for some reason the price went up I don't know why. I would wait a bit to buy a similar monitor from Dell for the same price. It can get quite bright when you use it at night, so having a good…

I HAVE TO RETURN THIS MONITOR BECAUSE THE GRAPHICS CARD IN MY COMPUTER DOES NOT SUPPORT 4K. THERE ARE NO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS - DRAWING ONLY - ON ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE MONITOR FROM THE STAND. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO ANYONE AT DELL TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS BECAUSE YOU TRIGGED YOUR SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIANS DO NOT SPEAK OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH VERY WELL. WHILE I HAVE TRYED TWICE TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION WITHOUT SUCCESSFUL I HAVE TALKED ON THE PHONE FOR MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR. THAT…

This monitor works perfectly with my MACBook Pro! This allows me to open multiple large windows so I can easily write text, load and edit graphics, and create layouts. The image is as sharp as the retina display on my MACBook Pro. Setup wasn't difficult. The built-in speakers work well. The ONLY potential improvement I would suggest is adding stand height adjustment. But it's not enough to lower my 5 star rating.

It's cheap but looks good (considering a 1440p resolution). It's amazing that you can get something like this for money. I'm disappointed with the volume of the speakers, but I'd feel uncomfortable lowering it to 4* at this price point. They're better than most laptops, but no more. If you rely on it, you won't get 5 stars. Also, I don't game, I wouldn't be surprised if the response time sucks, but for general use it definitely looks great. It's not perfect, and if you're in doubt about going…

After two days with this display I can admire how bright it is, the picture looks good and the OSD system is easy to use. But I have two complaints: the built-in speakers are terrible (very tinny, no bass at all, like listening to a small transistor radio that's muted) and the stand is terrible (not adjustable, and the slightest wobble at my desk leaves the display The display wobbles a little even when typing, although the base is stable.

I'm not a speaker snob. I don't know anything about her. I didn't think these speakers were so bad that I would notice them! But they don't sound stereo. They sound like a tiny emergency radio I bought for camping. I actually went through the troubleshooter to find out why a speaker isn't working. But no - they both work, they just DO NOT exist. I'm annoyed because I bought a more expensive monitor ONLY to get my old speakers off my desk. Now I'll bring them back - with a bigger monitor, so…

It works well with Mac and PC. It would be better if the brightness range was wider, the lower setting is still very bright. Otherwise a great product for everyday use.

Works as expected and I love that its specs are half the weight of regular monitors. Update: The monitor turns off and on, I've had it for a little over half a year. I have the latest drivers and have tried them on multiple computers.

This monitor does not have USB ports. I would give zero stars if I could. How can you not build a USB port?!?! worst monitor.

All in all a good monitor to work with unless you plan on using a docking station with DP output. I found that my docking station only has a DP output and this monitor's display port doesn't accept it. I got a replacement and it's still the same problem. Although it works fine with HDMI connections.

When used with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, this display will dim intermittently. HDMI worked fine. I've had no issues with the display blanking on an old Dell 4K (P2415Q) or the display I bought to replace this (LG 27UL850) when used with the same cables.

I've tried several 4k monitors for programming, this one is the best so far. The text is very clear. The only problem is glare.

Great for performance. 2K is the best resolution for recording. The font is crisp and you don't have to mess with font scaling.

I bought this 27" QHD monitor from Dell to replace my old 24" FHD monitors. Screen size and resolution match perfectly, the display quality is ideal for editing texts, photos and videos. I ended up buying two additional identical monitors (from Dell.com) for my multi-display setup. Highly recommended.
