The Dell P2721Q is a well-designed 4K monitor that’s ideal for mixed-use thanks to its specs and vivid screen. It’s designed to be an all-in-one display for a multitude of devices such as a PC and your MacBook Pro from work. Let’s see what the Dell P2721Q can offer and if its performance can justify its high price point. Dell P2721Q Specifications Note: The Dell P2721Q monitor is very heavy; handle with extreme care. It is recommended to have two people to lift or move this monitor. So I would say that if you specifically want 4K resolution, get at most a 24" display, which is 183 ppi. That's not quite Retina, but closer by enough to make a noticeable difference. Or if you want a 27" display, then get either a 2560x1440 display (108 ppi, within standard range) or a 5K display (217 ppi, within Retina). With regards to the C to A connection, yes this is so I can use connected devices on the laptop, i.e. my mouse, etc. I would like to get 4K at 60Hz through USB Type-C, so that I can use the MacBook as a "one-cable-setup" .

Caution: Dell P2721Q setup must comply to the recommended panel orientation and working angle only. Setting up the monitor in an orientation that is not recommended may damage the monitor and/or cause a safety hazard. And of course, you can head into the OSD menu and tune the colors further if you want to do so. The OSD menu is laid out cleanly and navigation is natural. Overall, I love what Dell did with this OSD menu. Change the color-setting mode in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD) to Graphics or Video, depending on the application. Built-In Self-Test - The Dell P2721Q monitor has a built-in self-test that helps you identify if the screen abnormality is with the monitor or the video card (GPU) on your computer. When you notice screen abnormalities like distortion, clarity, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade.It is always a good practice to isolate the monitor by running the Built-In Diagnostics. Or, you can restart the mac. Head to the home screen, press the apple menu in the top left, and then press restart. This shouldn't harm your machine at al.

The Dell P2721Q’s pride is its connectivity layout which includes a slot each for DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, and USB-C. The latter supports DP Alt Mode and provides up to 65 Watts of power for modern laptops and mobile devices. You also get two USB 3.2 high-speed ports, but the USB-C slot needs to be connected to the PC for data upstreaming.

Having said that, you won’t have the best image quality when watching 4K HDR content on this monitor because of the limited color gamut, low contrast ratio, and low peak brightness.Change the resolution using the video or graphics card (GPU) utility like Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. Dim or discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part. Display mode changes from "Second screen only" to "Extended mode" after opening and closing the laptop LCD. No POST - Your computer is not showing any indication of activity, the screen might be blank and will not display the Dell logo during start-up.

Due to legacy platform cannot recognize or output 5120 x 1440, we suggest changing EDID to lower resolution to cover this compatibility problem. Wireless USB peripherals responding slowly or only working as the distance between itself and its receiver decreases. The only limitation of the monitor is that there is no built-in speaker. Dell is selling a slim soundbar that is magnetically attached to the bottom of the screen, however, I’d recommend you to invest in a pair of bookshelf speakers if you’re serious about audio quality. Image Quality The monitor supports HDCP 2.3, that means you can stream content from Netflix or other sources at 4K resolution. I played some 4K movies on Safari 14 with macOS Big Sur but the video resolution is downgraded to 1080p. However, when hooked up to a PlayStation 4 via HDMI cable, it shows HDCP 2.3 support. Conclusion ProsThe Dell P2721Q is a superb choice if you want a 4K IPS monitor for professional, business, or general home use. it’s an accurate and efficient screen that works great in varying applications, including professional work such as editing and content creation. We like its design and its inclusion of USB-C connectivity, but 65 Watts is limited nowadays since it’s not always sufficient for high-spec laptops. Where you put your monitor is almost as important as what model you buy. The monitor should be directly in front of you, at an arm’s length away (between 20-40 inches from your eyes).The top edge of the screen at eye level when you are sitting comfortably. You may need to adjust your chair height or the height of the monitor to achieve this. On certain video and applications with fast moving images, imaging ghosting, which appears as a trailing shadow, may occur. With that said, maybe Dell can also add a webcam and microphone into the monitor to make it the best monitor for meetings.

However, the bigger downside for this monitor is its very high price, especially now that the 4K category is very competitive. Newer variants like the Dell S2722QC are more affordable even if the specifications are almost identical, although the P2721Q is much more accurate by default. It’s a good buy if you want solid performance, but it is not the most practical choice now. Change the input color format to PC RGB or YPbPr in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD).

Looking for a 4K monitor for productivity on an even tighter budget? Take a look at the LG 27UL850, it placed high in T3’s guide to the best 4K monitors and offers a 27-inch display with USB-C connectivity for an even lower price than the Dell P2721Q. As it stands now, the Slim Soundbar is just there but I’m not sure if I can recommend anyone to actually buy it. Should you buy the Dell P2721Q monitor? MacDaraC Happy to help. As for tone, if you're referring to the first bit, that was simply practical advice. There are people here such as myself who are willing to volunteer their time to help others, so the more you can give them to work with, the more likely you'll get useful replies. If you're referring to the note about the manual, that too is practical advice. It's surprising to me how many people would sooner ask a question of random people on the Internet and hope for an answer before considering that the answers they seek might be found in official documentation. But sometimes people don't know that Dell has documentation available online even though printed manuals aren't included with products anymore. But I don't volunteer my time here just to give people "tone" mixed in with actual information. Due to different video formats (aspect ratio) of DVDs and videos, the monitor may display in screen.
