DELL-UP2718Q

Product Information

After I set everything up, I opened up a white document on the screen to see if there are any dead pixels – there weren’t any. With uniformity compensation turned on, brightness of the monitor looked pretty even, and I did not see any green / magenta tint issues that I have previously seen on other monitors, including the BenQ SW271. Using the OSD, I navigated to Uniformity Compensation and turned it off, then again inspected the screen. I honestly could not see much difference between the two, which is why it was more meaningful to run a DisplayCAL uniformity test to really see how even the brightness of the monitor is (further down below). Factory Calibration Accuracy zones than an edge-lit option. The above image is taken from the forthcoming Acer Predator X27 display, Even with HW calibration usually a custom profile (although idealized) is made on most calibration solutions: HW CAL may not hit the target so it is useful to record actual monitor behavior, mostly TRC & primary locations, for color managed applications. Does the Dell UP2720Q live up to expectations, and can it truly be a competitor to professional-grade EIZO, HP and NEC monitors? Let’s take a look at the monitor in more detail and see.

Keep in mind that this screen is not really aimed at gamers, as it

With the monitor being able to reproduce 100% of Adobe RGB at Delta ≤ 1, 98% of DCI-P3 and 80% BT.2020, it matches or exceeds some of the best panels offered by HP, NEC and EIZO. The built-in colorimeter feature is the first of its kind for Dell monitors, and a very welcome addition, as it removes the expense and the hassle of hooking up an external colorimeter to calibrate the display (plus, you can set the monitor to periodically calibrate itself). In addition, Dell’s UltraSharp Color Calibration Software (DUCCS) has been historically buggy, unreliable and limited in features, so it is nice to be able to get away from that with the hardware colorimeter. Probably a bit late, but... make sure your GFX card (965m) supports HDR and make sure HDR is enabled in the Monitor menu that you manage with your fingers (bottom right). This wasn't the case for me (SmartHDR was OFF) and as a result dxdiag *did not* show up as supporting HDR colorspace. When I switched it on in the menu with my greasy paws and re-ran dxdiag, it showed up as supporting HDR. box the screen used 66.4W at the default 75% brightness setting. Once calibrated the screen reached

Introducing The Dell UltraSharp 27 Premier Color UltraHD 4K HDR

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.

Furthermore, 4K Ultra HD resolution ensures an incredibly crisp and mesmeric picture quality with vivid details and plenty of screen real estate. displays, as the Ultra HD Premium spec dictates that a HDR display should support this colour space properly. Given Build quality of the monitor is excellent. Dell engineers did a great job designing the screen, the navigation buttons and the on-screen display (OSD), which is very intuitive to use. The buttons are standard push-style buttons, not touch-sensitive ones that you can find on some of Dell’s monitors. The screen has a nice matte coating that does a good job at reducing reflections and glare.

USB 3.0 downstream ports (2 with fast charging), audio out, uniformity correction, hardware calibration, TheDell U2718Q input lag measures to only ~9ms for both HDR and SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) content, which makes it suitable for competitive gaming that is if you don’t mind being limited to 60Hz. Overall, the image quality is stunning, as expected of Dell’s 4K IPS monitor at this price range. It’s only when we get to HDR that things start toturn south. Lastly, being able to connect the monitor via Thunderbolt 3 is a pretty big deal, because it allows communication of both video and data, as well as simultaneous charging! That’s right – if you hook up this monitor to your laptop, it will be able to charge it with up to 90W of power. With Thunderbolt 3 being the standard on many Mac and PC devices now, all you have to do is hook up the power and one cable, and you have everything working, including the USB hub that hosts 4x USB 3.2 ports, and the extra Thunderbolt 3 downstream port. Further down below, I go through my experience using this monitor with my iMac Pro. If you want to connect the monitor via DisplayPort, you can do that too – the monitor supports HDCP 2.2 standard for both DP and HDMI input ports.

subtract half of the average G2G response time from the total display lag. This should allow us to give a good estimation of changes allowed us to obtain an optimal hardware starting point and setup before software level changes would be From there, it was time to fire up hardware calibration using the built-in colorimeter and see how it does when compared to the i1Display Pro. This is the part I was a bit worried about, since differences in colorimeters can sometimes create issues when assessing colors.

sure you do NOT want DCI-P3 as calibration target if you are asking, white point is not your typical white. All display connectors of theDell U2718Q support HDCP 2.2. So, you can watch copy-protected content in 4K on Blu-rays and streaming services such as Netflix on the monitor. Dell’s UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor Monitor (also known as Dell UP2720Q) is designed specifically for professional photographers and graphic artists, who need a high-resolution 10-bit IPS display that produces accurate colors when editing images. This 27″ 4K monitor is world’s first to feature both built-in colorimeter and Thunderbolt 3 in this size and resolution, and it is the first Dell monitor that can directly compete with other high-end offerings from companies like EIZO. In this review, we will take a close look at the Dell UP2720Q monitor and see how it performs for photography needs. I connected the monitor to my iMac Pro using the Thunderbolt 3 cable. Once attached, the monitor immediately recognized the connection and turned on. It is nice that the built-in hub provides another Thunderbolt 3 downstream port. This way, the monitor is not eating up another port on the iMac, and I can still connect other Thunderbolt 3 or USB devices to it.Additionally, the response time speed of only 5ms effectively eliminates the motion blur of fast-moving objects in video games and movies. After this was done, I decided to calibrate the second CAL2 target to sRGB, D65, G2.2, L120, with Uniformity Compensation turned on. I followed the same process, which worked out really well, according to DisplayCAL. The Dell UltraSharp 27 Premier Color UltraHD 4K HDR (model UP2718Q) also offers a ton of custom calibration options and a Look-Up Table accessible through the UltraSharp Calibration utilities. You can use this feature to load and store your own custom color settings, over and above what's configured out of the box. Still, I decided it was a good idea to test the accuracy of the factory calibration using the X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter. I fired up DisplayCAL and measured Adobe RGB. Below are the results:

This is an excellent result from factory calibration. As promised, average Delta was less than 1 and Maximum Delta was less than 1.5. I tested the accuracy of sRGB and DCI-P3, which were also within the norms.
