    How's this monitor for photo editing? Good enough?

    • deadpoet on 31/05/2024 - 12:38
      +5

      Depends how picky you are. It's a decent quality budget productivity monitor, but was never designed for colour-accurate photography work.

      In summary: fine for family snaps and casual use. If you're professional photographer, you should spend a lot more to get a decent wide-gamut monitor.

      • star chasm on 31/05/2024 - 13:28
        +1

        Thanks, though I'm still unsure.

        My use case is somewhere in between casual and professional. I'm a hobbyist wildlife photographer. I'll be using the monitor mainly for editing RAW files in Lightroom. I mostly post online but do occasional prints too.

        I've always used sRGB and have had no issues editing on my laptop (1600p @ 100% sRGB), but obviously could do with a larger screen. Is there any need to display a wider gamut than 99% sRGB (which this Dell apparently can) if I'm happy with the results I'm already getting?

        • deadpoet on 31/05/2024 - 20:18
          +1

          Honestly if you're happy with sRGB then it sounds like this Dell would be a great monitor for you. As an amateur/hobbyist, a wide-gamut screen is nice to have but not mandatory, and they usually cost 2-3x more.

          In a few years' time, OLED screens will have come down in price and that would be a good opportunity to pick up a nice wide-gamut OLED monitor, it will give you even greater enjoyment of your images.

    • Manny Calavera on 31/05/2024 - 10:02

      I think 1440 on 27" is ideal.

      • entropysbane on 31/05/2024 - 11:18

        “Ideal” would be 5K on 27 inch and 6K on 32.

        But 4K on both is pretty good.

  • kiitos on 31/05/2024 - 09:48

    What does upstream and downstream refer to? Is upstream where you connect a computer to it to supply the video? Then what does the power delivery do? Does it charge the laptop back?

    • beltdrive on 31/05/2024 - 10:02
      +2

      Yep, that's correct

      Upstream - video sent to monitor, power sent to laptop for charging. This is done over one cable, which is great for reducing cable clutter

      Downstream - used for USB devices, such a keyboard, mouse, webcam etc. There's one port with device charging, which means that a device such as a phone can be charged via the monitor's power supply

  • shabaka on 31/05/2024 - 09:54

    I had this but 4k on 27" felt a little too much. upgraded to G3223Q which is 4k on 32" (also a great gaming monitor with 144hz refresh) and it's superb for productivity.

    • OzHan on 31/05/2024 - 11:13

      But if you need 2 for work, 2x32" can be too much for desk space.

    • nearbyghost on 31/05/2024 - 12:16

      Just use DPI scaling. 4K is great.

      • shabaka on 31/05/2024 - 12:57

        sure. I was running this monitor at 150% in Windows. now G3223Q I run at 125% scaling. means I can comfortably fit more information. size matters (c)

        • nearbyghost on 31/05/2024 - 16:01
          +2

          Agreed that size matters, I just didn't understand that 4k being "too much" for a screen when you can always scale up. fwiw I have a few of these screens and love them.

    • auswill on 31/05/2024 - 18:51

      Happy to ready this cos I just bought the G3223Q - gotta put my RTX4080 super to work. Hopefully arrives next week. Going from 27" 1440p 60hz.

  • Super Saiyan on 31/05/2024 - 10:01

    I've currently got a Dell UltraSharp U2721DE for my WFH setup. Could I add this S2722QC from this deal as a second monitor?

    I'm a bit of a noob in this area so appreciate any advice.

    • beltdrive on 31/05/2024 - 10:25

      If your PC supports multiple monitor outputs, then you should be ok. What kind of PC do you use?

      Since your current monitor has a 1440p resolution (2560 x 1440), I'd probably suggest saving some money and getting another 1440p monitor instead though

    • ATangk on 31/05/2024 - 10:25
      +3

      Don't do it. Your first one is a QHD screen, but if you tried to drag windows across it will change resolution and be quite annoying as it doesn't match up. 27" QHD will be cheaper too.

      • Super Saiyan on 31/05/2024 - 11:14

        Thanks guys
        I'm just using a work-supplied Dell laptop which is connected via USB-C.
        I only use it for my work which is primarily cloud-based services, very basic video editing, spreadsheets, docs, Teams meetings, Slack etc etc

        No real need for it but just looking for the added convenience of a second monitor.
        Appreciate the advice, I'll hold off on this one and keep an eye out for a deal on a 1440p monitor.

        Cheers guys!

      I can't speak for this monitor, but I can plug my Galaxy into the thunderbolt dock at work and it gets Dex up, with full working keyboard and mouse!

      iPhones seem to mirror their screens in that situation too.

      S23 Ultra supports DisplayPort over USB-C, as does iPhone 15

      If your phone is capable of USB-C video output, it should work!

    Reading OzBargain on this monitor atm with MacBook Air. It's a great monitor and don't know if it's related to the MacBook or not but it can get really flickery at night under certain circumstances. I think it has something to do with night light and lots of greys on the screen at the same time. I've also had a couple instances of temporary image burn in in the two years I've had it. Not typical burn in but it would just capture whatever is on the screen at that moment and keep like a ghost image of it even across different input sources, but it eventually goes away

    Would buy again though

      It's a great monitor and don't know if it's related to the MacBook or not but it can get really flickery at night under certain circumstances

      It's a long-running incompatibility issue with certain ARM64 Macs and Dell monitors. It's been happening for years and nobody has found a permanent solution. It happened to me with my M1 MacBook Pro. I'm not sure if the latest M-series MacBooks still have this issue or not.

    • m2pic on 31/05/2024 - 15:08

      Yep. I wrote this big piece on reddit about the flicker issue on M1 Mac. I wouldn't buy again personally: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/u405lh/m1_mac_dell_mo…

      • AngryAlfred on 31/05/2024 - 22:45

        Ha, thanks for that. I actually read through it about a month ago and that's how I found out there was a firmware update for the monitor that I couldn't install with just a Mac. Was a pain but I got a Windows machine hooked up and updated and haven't had the ghosting thing since, still a bit of flicker though

      • DeToxin on 03/06/2024 - 10:40

        I'm guessing this is specific to the dell usb C monitors that run both power delivery and video over the single cable? - or has there been reports of others too?

      • milanoxpress on 05/06/2024 - 13:26
        +1

        Didn't know of this issue with Macs. Is it a issue with all dell monitors? Like the Ultra sharp range affected as well?

        I'm planning to use a Intel or M series MacBook hooked up to a external monitor.

        Can't afford to shell out $2500 for apple branded studio display.

        Was looking at the S series dell monitor. Fits my budget well.

  • jetblack on 31/05/2024 - 10:19

    Tempting. Have one already, highly rate it for work.

    Only downside is it doesn't officially support Mac, and on rare occasion has flickering issues.

    • entropysbane on 31/05/2024 - 14:47

      Trouble is the ultrasharps Mac people love are double the price. Better colour calibration and a bigger dock, but still.

    Great monitor – I have one, except… it just died randomly the other day while I was using it. However, I got right onto Dell Support and they organised for one to be sent out the next day. So, it's hard to complain with that kind of service.

        I don't believe that this monitor ever requires the 155 watts it says it needs.
        I believe they have taken a generic product/case/design, and they have re-used it expecting to eventually replace it with a slimmer Dell monitor, which they could be making and selling right now for the same price. But instead, they pump out these thick cheaper Dells, knowing business customers tend to just "go with them again".
        Once all these over-bulked monitors meet some proper competition, every business is going to want to get rid of these to not seem like dinosaurs..
        It's such a huge difference to what is coming.
        At least these are VESA mountable, but good considerable design without wastage is important for keeping things out of e-waste.

        • LanceVance on 31/05/2024 - 16:20
          +1

          Still utter nonsense. Businesses don't replace equipment just because 'the new model is out' they replace them over a depreciation cycle or as they break. No one is going to think that customers are going to think less of them because they don't have the slimmest Dell monitors, they care if these do the job, which they do.
          No one gives half a shit about who has the latest 'Dell' monitors, what a ridiculous premise!

      Depth: 5.54 cm
      Which includes powersupply, speakers and ports.
      And that's the thickest part of it, the bulge at the back. Has nothing to do with e-waste imo.

        • Droz on 07/06/2024 - 11:10

          It's a limitation of the chip - M1 DisplayCoprocessor only has bandwidth for one raw video signal - and the beefier Macbooks (Ultra, Max) can do it but have… Much larger chips.

          The M1 in the Air/non-pro macbook pro is basically the mobile phone chip, hence why it can't dump out more bandwidth.

    One of the real benefits from this monitor (have bought a few for work) and others with Docks and PD, is that the docks actually work with the monitor.
    I have every major brand dock fail on me - sick of them. Will only get monitors with inbuilt docks in future.
    And one if these with a laptop at the side for a 2nd monitor is a good flexible office setup
