Scrolling through webpages, navigating large spreadsheets, moving application windows and switching between software interfaces can feel more fluid and responsive.

The monitor supports two response-time modes:

• 5ms GTG – Fast
• 8ms GTG – Normal

This makes the U2724DE suitable for professional productivity, multimedia and general everyday use where smooth motion is beneficial.

Wide Professional Colour Coverage

The Dell U2724DE provides extensive coverage across several important colour spaces.

Colour Coverage

• 100% sRGB

• 1.07 Billion Colours

The wide colour coverage makes the U2724DE suitable for professionals working across web design, digital content, video, photography and colour-conscious applications.

It also provides greater flexibility when switching between different creative and professional workflows.

109 PPI for Sharp Text and Details

With approximately 108.97 PPI, the U2724DE provides a high pixel density for a 27-inch QHD display.

Text, icons, interface elements, graphics and fine details remain sharp and well defined, making the monitor comfortable for long periods of professional work.

The QHD resolution also provides additional workspace without the higher graphics workload associated with 4K displays.

350 cd/m² Brightness

The monitor offers 350 cd/m² brightness, providing clear visibility across typical office and professional environments.

Combined with the IPS Black panel and 2000:1 contrast ratio, the brightness level provides a balanced viewing experience for documents, applications, images, dashboards and multimedia.

Instead of maintaining separate keyboards and mice for each computer, KVM helps simplify the overall workstation.

2.5GbE Ethernet Connectivity

The U2724DE includes a 2.5GbE RJ45 Ethernet port, providing high-speed wired networking through the monitor.

A compatible laptop connected through Thunderbolt 4 can access the wired network through the monitor, helping eliminate the need for a separate Ethernet adapter.

This can be useful for:
