Product Features

27-Inch QHD Display

The U2724DE has a 27-inch display with a 2560 × 1440 QHD resolution, providing more screen workspace than Full HD while retaining a practical 16:9 format. The 596.74 × 335.66mm preset display area gives users a spacious working area for documents, applications and multitasking.

120Hz Refresh Rate

The monitor supports a 120Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution, providing smoother on-screen movement than standard 60Hz displays when the connected system and application support the higher refresh rate.

IPS Black Panel Technology

Dell uses IPS Black technology on the U2724DE. The panel has a typical 2000:1 contrast ratio and 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, making it suitable for professional desktop environments where consistent viewing from different positions is useful.

Wide Colour Coverage

The U2724DE covers 100% sRGB, 100% BT.709, 98% Display P3 and 98% DCI-P3, with Dell specifying Delta E < 2 average for sRGB, BT.709, Display P3 and DCI-P3. This makes the monitor particularly relevant to professional workflows where colour coverage and consistency matter.

Thunderbolt 4 Connectivity

Thunderbolt 4 is one of the key features of the U2724DE. The upstream Thunderbolt 4 port supports video and data and provides up to 90W power delivery, allowing a compatible computer to connect to the monitor through a single cable while receiving power from the display.

Thunderbolt 4 Daisy Chaining

A dedicated Thunderbolt 4 downstream port provides 15W power and supports daisy chaining. This can simplify compatible multi-monitor workstation configurations by allowing supported displays or devices to be connected through the Thunderbolt connection.

Integrated USB Hub

The monitor includes multiple USB ports, including USB Type-A and USB Type-C connectivity. The USB ports use USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology with speeds of up to 10Gbps according to Dell’s specifications. The USB-C downstream port also provides up to 15W power charging.

2.5GbE Ethernet Port

An integrated RJ45 2.5GbE Ethernet port provides wired network connectivity through the monitor. For compatible computer and network configurations, this can reduce the number of separate peripherals required on a workstation.

DisplayPort and HDMI Connectivity

The U2724DE includes DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI connectivity. The DisplayPort input supports QHD at 120Hz, while the HDMI interface supports up to QHD 2560 × 1440 at 120Hz under the specified conditions.

Adjustable Ergonomic Stand

The supplied stand supports height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment, allowing users to position the screen according to their workstation setup and preferred viewing position.

Ambient Light Sensor

An integrated ambient light sensor supports automatic adjustment of brightness and colour temperature according to Dell’s specifications.

Anti-Glare Display Surface

The display uses an anti-glare coating with 3H hardness, helping provide a more practical viewing surface for office and professional environments with ambient lighting.

Thunderbolt 4 for a Cleaner Workstation

The U2724DE is designed for users who want more than a conventional display. A compatible laptop can use the Thunderbolt 4 upstream connection for video and data while receiving up to 90W of power from the monitor. This can reduce cable clutter on a compatible workstation because display connectivity, USB peripherals and network connectivity can be consolidated around the monitor.

The exact functionality available depends on the computer’s Thunderbolt/USB-C capabilities and the cables used. A USB-C port alone should not automatically be assumed to provide all Thunderbolt 4 functions.

Professional Connectivity

For office and professional environments in Nairobi and across Kenya, the U2724DE offers a useful selection of connections in one display. DisplayPort and HDMI accommodate conventional video connections, while Thunderbolt 4 and the integrated USB hub support compatible modern workstation setups. The 2.5GbE RJ45 port also provides a wired networking option directly through the monitor.

Applications

The Dell UltraSharp U2724DE 27-inch monitor is suitable for applications such as:

• Professional office work
• Laptop docking and desktop workstation setups
• Software development and programming
• Business productivity and multitasking
• Graphic and content-related workflows requiring broad colour coverage
• Data analysis and spreadsheet work
• Video conferencing and remote work setups
• Multi-monitor workstation configurations
• Professional environments requiring Thunderbolt 4 connectivity

Compatibility Considerations

Before purchasing the U2724DE, confirm that the computer being connected supports the required Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C functions. The monitor’s 90W power delivery is available through its Thunderbolt 4 upstream connection, but the actual charging experience depends on the connected computer and its power requirements.

For a 120Hz QHD experience, the computer, graphics hardware, operating system and connection must support the required resolution and refresh rate. Dell specifies QHD 2560 × 1440 at 120Hz for the monitor.

Buying Considerations in Kenya

When choosing a professional monitor, consider the type of computer you will connect, required resolution, refresh rate, colour requirements, available ports and whether you need integrated docking-style connectivity. The U2724DE is particularly relevant where a single display needs to serve as part of a connected workstation rather than functioning only as a basic screen.

For laptop users, pay particular attention to whether the laptop supports the Thunderbolt 4 features required for video, data and power delivery.
