There’s a bit more bulk in the central region, towards the stand attachment point. This control system including PiP and PbP functionality plus Dell Display Manager software is covered in the video below.įrom the side the monitor is slim at thinnest point, ~16mm (0.63 inches). You can disable this LED in the OSD, if preferred. A power button is included with the manufacturer’s signature vertical slit power LED design, glowing a gentle white when the monitor is switched on and blinking white when it enters a low power state. The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by buttons which face downwards towards the right side of the screen. We describe this as a ‘shadowy border’, which seems quite an apt way to describe it if viewed from a sharper angle but makes it sound worse than it really is during normal viewing. It’s not something we found obtrusive or generally noticeable during normal use from our preferred viewing distance (~70cm or a bit further back) but we tried to capture it from a steeper angle in the image below to emphasise the effect. If you’re sitting close to the screen or off-angle you may observe this when observing content very close to the side edges of the screen. In this case the perceived inset was a bit more noticeable than it sometimes is. It’s quite common to see this to some degree on models with a dual-stage bezel design and we’re very used to it so it’s not something we generally comment on. Whilst the panel border is very slightly in front of the rest of the image, as LCDs have various layers and the panel border is an outer layer, it’s only a very small inset compared to how it appears due to this reflection. This is clearest for lighter content where the reflection is easiest to see. If you observe the panel border edge from a sharp angle or when sitting close enough to the screen you can see a reflection of the panel border which makes it look like the panel border sits quite a bit in front of the image. The screen surface is light to very light matte anti-glare, as explored a bit deeper into the review. Including both components the bezels are ~7mm (0.28 inches). The top and side bezels adopt a dual-stage design, with slim panel border flush with the rest of the screen plus a thin hard plastic outer part. With a central slightly shiny silver brand logo. And a matte plastic bottom bezel, ~23mm (0.91 inches) thick including the downwards diagonal slope or ~19mm (0.75 inches) for the front face alone. The monitor has a modern home-office design with ‘platinum silver’ (satin finish silver plastic) stand neck and base. Some of the key ‘talking points’ for this monitor have been highlighted in blue below. A 4ms grey to grey response time is specified, but as usual don’t put too much weight on this figure. A 60Hz refresh rate is supported alongside 10-bit colour (8-bit + FRC dithering). The monitor uses a 27” IPS (In-Plane Switching) type panel. We put this model through its paces in our usual testing suite, which encompasses general usage on the desktop, movies and gaming. Basic HDR support is also included for a bit of variety. Whilst not designed as a gaming monitor specifically, it features Adaptive-Sync to help reduce tearing and stuttering from traditional frame and refresh rate mismatches. The Dell S2722QC offers this, focusing on productivity and general usage primarily with a 60Hz refresh rate. The combination of 27” – 28” screen size and 3840 x 2160 ( ‘4K’ UHD) resolution offers an excellent pixel density and high ‘desktop real-estate’ potential.
