Based on an IPS panel with 10-bit color support (8-bit + FRC), theDell U2718Q delivers vibrant, consistent, and accurate colors. Note: A pre-requisite for the Smart HDR option being accessible in the Monitor OSD menu is that the monitor is connected via HDMI and not a DisplayPort cable.

HDR is, in our estimation, one of the most significant advancements in display technology in recent years, but the rollout hasn't been entirely smooth. Bizarrely, only a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable is included in the box, so you'll need to source your own HDMI lead to take advantage of the monitor's HDR capabilities.

Our unit of the Dell P2715Q had next-to-none IPS glow and backlight bleeding as well as no dead or stuck pixels. per cent sRGB coverage to an accuracy of Delta-E less than two, meaning out-the-box colours should be reasonably true to life. There was an issue with the colour green which I fixed through a firmware update (currently M2B102). Finally, there are several preset modes available, including ComfortView, which filters out the harmful blue lights.

The Dell P2715Q IPS display has an input lag of ~14ms at 60Hz, so you won’t notice any delays when using the monitor, even when playing video games. In the OSD (On-Screen Display), you will find the following settings: contrast, brightness, aspect ratio, sharpness, color format, color temperature, input source selection, RGB, hue, and saturation.While theDell U2718Q monitor can accept the HDR10 signal, it lacks proper display capabilities to actually improve the viewing experience.

I have the same monitor setup as you (legacy 2709W and shiny new U2718Q) but I'm running on a GTX 970 desktop graphics adapter. Note that you will need to download and install the following firmware update for optimal image quality if it’s not pre-applied out of the box. To start with, the Dell P2715Q monitor is based on an IPS panel, which ensures precise and consistent color reproduction.

Next, the response time speed of 6ms is a bit slower than that of modern IPS displays, but there’s no prominent ghosting of fast-moving objects visible. In contrast, theDell U2718Q has a peak brightness of 350-nits and only covers the standard sRGB color gamut meaning that its HDR is software-emulated. Moving on, the monitor uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to regulate brightness, so if you are over-sensitive to screen flicker, you may experience eye strain or headaches after prolonged use. This started happening randomly a few days after the firmware update and no update has been made to the MacBook.

Dell's LED-backlit IPS screen provides a 4K UHD resolution of 3,840x2,160 with an 8ms response time, or 5ms with overdrive enabled. Sure, the U2718Q's limited contrast ratio and colour gamut is such that the effect is somewhat muted, yet while we imagine the far pricier UP2718Q to be a better showcase of what HDR can do, the more affordable UltraSharp still gives relevant content that extra bit of wow factor.
