Description
The Dell UltraSharp U2724D represents a significant evolution in professional displays, combining the color fidelity of the UltraSharp line with a modern 120Hz refresh rate. Featuring IPS Black technology, this monitor delivers a 2000:1 contrast ratio, providing deeper blacks and more accurate gray tones than traditional IPS panels. The inclusion of a built-in ambient light sensor allows the display to intelligently adjust brightness and color temperature based on your surroundings, ensuring optimal visibility throughout the day.
This product is for:

Using the U2724D transforms the standard desktop experience into a more fluid and responsive environment. The 120Hz refresh rate makes every mouse movement and window transition feel instantaneous, reducing the "ghosting" often seen on 60Hz office monitors. The ambient light sensor is particularly effective in changing light conditions, automatically dimming the screen in the evening to prevent glare and eye strain. The IPS Black panel ensures that even in dark room settings, blacks remain deep rather than appearing washed out or gray.
Compared to standard IPS monitors, the U2724D offers double the contrast ratio, making it a superior choice for viewing high-dynamic-range content and detailed imagery. While most professional monitors are capped at 60Hz, the 120Hz capability of this model provides a smoother visual experience typically reserved for gaming displays, but without the aggressive aesthetics. It outperforms previous UltraSharp models by integrating the ambient light sensor directly into the bezel for a more automated user experience.
Q&A:
- Does the Dell U2724D support 120Hz on both HDMI and DisplayPort? Yes, it supports up to 2560 x 1440 at 120Hz on both DP 1.4 and HDMI (TMDS/VRR as per HDMI 2.1).
- What is the benefit of IPS Black technology? IPS Black provides a 2000:1 contrast ratio, which is twice that of standard IPS panels, resulting in deeper blacks and improved color accuracy at wide viewing angles.
- Can I charge my laptop through the USB-C port? The primary USB-C upstream port is for data only; however, there is a downstream USB-C port that provides up to 15W of power for mobile devices.
- Is this monitor suitable for color-accurate work? Yes, it comes factory-calibrated with a Delta E < 2 for sRGB, BT.709, Display P3, and DCI-P3 color spaces.
- How does the ambient light sensor work? The built-in sensor detects the brightness and color temperature of your environment and automatically adjusts the screen settings to reduce eye fatigue.
