What reviewers say

TFTCentral and MonitorNerds found the U2722DE useful as a single-cable laptop display, praising its adjustable stand, broad colour gamut and extensive connections. Both considered it better for office and creative work than fast games; TFTCentral found the sRGB preset particularly accurate but reported overshoot in the Fast response mode.
