Dell UltraSharp U2724D 27″ (2024)

Dell's 27-inch QHD UltraSharp runs at 120Hz from a single HDMI input (VRR as per HDMI 2.1, but TMDS signalling, so it behaves like HDMI 2.0) or from DisplayPort 1.4, with a second DisplayPort 1.4 out for daisy-chaining. The USB-C upstream port carries data only: no video in and no laptop charging. It feeds a four-port 10Gbps hub, three USB-A and one USB-C that charges at 15W. Below is the complete port breakdown.

27-inch QHD IPS Black monitor with 120Hz refresh rate, DisplayPort 1.4 with daisy-chain output, HDMI with VRR support, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub featuring 3 USB-A and 1 USB-C downstream ports.

Notes & Compatibility

CRITICAL: USB-C upstream port is DATA ONLY – no DP Alt Mode, no power delivery. Does NOT accept USB-C video input. HDMI port uses TMDS signaling (18Gbps bandwidth) despite supporting VRR – effectively HDMI 2.0b performance, NOT full HDMI 2.1 FRL. DisplayPort 1.4 output enables daisy-chain capability. USB-C downstream provides 15W charging. USB-A port with BC1.2 provides charging.
