Product Information

Further, it supports 10-bit color via dithering (8-bit + FRC) for 1.07 billion colors, and it’s factory-calibrated at Delta E < 3 with 99.9% sRGB spacecoverage. Other panel-related specs include a 350-nit peak brightness and a 1,000:1 static contrast ratio which is standard for an IPS display at this price range; Although you might find a bit brighter displays, they won’t have as accurate color reproduction. The Dell P2715Q has a sturdy and versatile design with up to 115mm height adjustment, -5°/21° tilt, +/- 45° swivel, 90° pivot, and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. To start with, the Dell P2715Q monitor is based on an IPS panel, which ensures precise and consistent color reproduction. The Dell U2718Q is not to be confused with the Dell UP2718Q, which has a much brighter image, higher contrast, and wider color gamut for the true HDR viewing experience. Image Quality

The uppermost button changes the picture preset (Standard, Multimedia, Movie, Game, and Paper) while the button below it alters the input source. Design & Connectivity The Dell P2715Q is a 4K IPS monitor aimed at content creators who rely on accurate color reproduction for their work. I also have a MacBook Pro. At my office I was connecting to a Dell U2718Q Monitor via the USB Type-C port. I got a Dell U2718Q for my house and got the same "no device found" error described in this thread. The solution for me was this Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C to DP cable =You can use these buttons for OSD (On-Screen Display) menu navigation and as shortcuts for certain functions when the menu is not on the screen. I recently got a U2718Q and aside from the glitches, it's a great monitor. There was an issue with the colour green which I fixed through a firmware update (currently M2B102). 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. However, there is still no option in Windows 10 Settings -> System -> Display to enable HDR and a dxdiag detects the U2718Q as not supporting HDR - see dxdiag output here and this Windows 10 HDR troubleshooter from Microsoft which details what dxdiag should be reporting if HDR support has been detected.I've also ensured I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers 398.11 released. I bought a U2718Q to use with my MacBook, and it worked perfectly for the first two weeks without issue using the MiniDP/Thunderbolt port connection to the monitor DP (using the supplied cable from Dell) before I encountered this problem today.

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. That extra layer of inconvenience is a shame, as playing a HDR video or HDR game does have merit. Sure, the U2718Q's limited contrast ratio and colour gamut is such that the effect is somewhat muted, yet while we imagine the far pricier UP2718Q to be a better showcase of what HDR can do, the more affordable UltraSharp still gives relevant content that extra bit of wow factor. Colours appear richer, darker scenes carry more detail, while bright elements are noticeably vivid.For a noticeable improvement in the image quality, an HDR monitor should be able to deliver at least a 400-nit peak brightness (preferably 600 or 1,000) and cover at least 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. IPS panel displays also have wide viewing angles of 178° both horizontally and vertically, which prevent the image from shifting in color and contrast when it’s looked at an angle. Based on an IPS panel with 10-bit color support (8-bit + FRC), theDell U2718Q delivers vibrant, consistent, and accurate colors. Moving on, there are four monitor hotkeys in addition to the power button at the right side of the monitor at the bottom. I'm running two monitors, a legacy DELL 2709W (Primary) and the new DELL U2718Q (Secondary) in Windows 10. The problem is that I cannot get the U2718Q to show up as supporting HDR in any scenario.

Choosing a quality monitor can be hard work if you haven't done your research. There are numerous acronyms and buzzwords to get to grips with, including 4K, 5K, UHD, FreeSync and G-Sync, to name but a few, and you can now add HDR to the list. The Dell P2715Q IPS display has an input lag of ~14ms at 60Hz, so you won’t notice any delays when using the monitor, even when playing video games. Moreover, it’s factory-calibrated to Delta E< 2 and covers 99.9% of the sRGB color space, making it an adequate display for professional color-critical work.Finally, there are several preset modes available, including ComfortView, which filters out the harmful blue lights. There is no Picture in Picture and Picture By Picture modes available, though. Design & Connectivity My company servicedesk did some sort of update that caused myU2718Q to stop working with it. Wanted to chime in and say that this process fixed the issue.
