Just recently purchased a Dell S2721DS monitor as part of the recently published deal to pair with my Dell S2722DC monitor.

The latter monitor has been working flawlessly (connected via USB c to my work laptop - Dell latitude 5420) and have now set up the secondary monitor (didn’t need USB c connectivity since deciding to plug in via HDMI) Dell S2721DS which appears to have a yellowish tint, especially when compared side by side.

Has anyone else faced this issue? The monitor settings are identical (the inbuilt monitor settings) including sharpness, brightness, presets, contrast - all set to the exact same values.

Really frustrated and would rather not have to return the monitor without exhausting all options - plus I threw away the box it came in anyway :/

  Have you tried swapping the monitors to see if the issue follows the monitor?

  I had issue with another Dell monitor and the warranty resolution was simply - they replaced it. A new monitor came in box and all I had to do was place the old screen in the new box and send back.

  +2

  Exact same setup here.

  Connected to Dell laptop:
  22dc using USBC
  221ds using HDMI

  Connected to desktop:
  22dc using HDMI
  221ds using HDMI

  Yes I did notice different in colour but I changed both to the warm preset and seems to be a close enough match I don't notice anymore

    I have two of the same model and had to adjust one slightly to match using manual settings like tint and contrast.

  Every panel will be different so you'll need to adjust the colour settings accordingly - don't set them to be the same as they won't match. Look up some youtube videos on how to calibrate your monitor - it doesn't need to be "accurate" it just needs to look good / the same to you!
