What reviewers say

TFTCentral and MonitorNerds found the U2722D well suited to office work, praising its QHD workspace, wide colour gamut and adjustable stand. Both found the factory sRGB mode more accurate than the default wide-gamut mode and considered its 60 Hz response less suited to fast games; MonitorNerds also noted the lack of USB-C video input.
