DELL-UP2718Q

Product Information

Unfortunately, the built-in colorimeter of the Dell UP2720Q only scans the bottom part of the display and it is unable to measure brightness uniformity, so we have to rely on other tools to do the job. Thankfully, DisplayCAL is a wonderful tool to do this in combination with an external colorimeter like the i1Display Pro.

The Dell U2718Q is not to be confused with the Dell UP2718Q, which has a much brighter image, higher contrast, and wider color gamut for the true HDR viewing experience. Image Quality Combined with 4K resolution, Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and a myriad of different input and output ports, the Dell UP2720Q is arguably one of the most feature-rich monitors on the market today. I applaud Dell for making such a fine tool for professionals. It is finally nice to see a worthy competitor to EIZO, HP and NEC. Additionally, the response time speed of only 5ms effectively eliminates the motion blur of fast-moving objects in video games and movies.Finally, there are several preset modes available, including ComfortView, which filters out the harmful blue lights. There is no Picture in Picture and Picture By Picture modes available, though. Design & Connectivity
