Dell UltraSharp U2722DE 27" Monitor (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Dell UltraSharp U2722DE is a mid-range 27-inch QHD IPS monitor designed for productivity. It is an upgrade over last year's U2721DE with an improved, 10-bit panel, more feature-rich UBS-C hub, and higher efficiency.
The U2722DE's IPS panel now covers 95% of DCI-P3 color space as well as 100% of sRGB and Rec 709 color spaces.
The biggest improvement this year is in the integrated USB hub, which is now upgraded to USB 3.2 Gen2. USB power delivery is rated at 90W upstream and 15W downstream. Again, there is an RJ45 LAN connection that allows users to add ethernet connectivity to their laptops or mobile workstation via the monitor.
As usual, this UltraSharp monitor comes with a stand that offers extensive tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments. The U2722DE further features Dell ComfortView Plus that reduces blue light emissions while delivering excellent color.
For those who can do with slightly less extensive USB-hub features, Dell also markets the UltraSharp U2722D that is otherwise identical for $100 less.
