I am an amateur photographer.  I just bought a new UP2716D monitor a month ago.  The color mode is set to RGB standard.  I am using an HP Envy with NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics.  I print in Adobe RBG using an Epson 3880 printer.  The colors are fine.  But the saturation of the prints is less than what is seen on the screen.  How can I correct this? 

I have not calibrated this monitor because it is new and factory calibrated.  How often should I calibrate this monitor?  

I purchased this monitor straight from Dell online last summer.  Model: Dell 28 Ultra HD 4K Monitor - S2817Q.   I spent nearly $600, so I'm hoping someone, anyone can help me save this monitor.

It's been flickering on occassion lately, I work about 10 hrs a day using it.  However suddenly it went dark and I couldn't get it to 'wake up'.  So I pushed the on/off switch and suddenly it started changing colors and doing this cycle of white / black / rainbow color bars / etc. over and over.  I can't get it to stop.

I took it off my computer and tried it on a different computer and it's still doing the cycle of flashing colors.  Any suggestions?  Obviously I can't run any type of diagnostic from Dell since I can't see my screen.  (I'm using a tiny monitor currently to write this...   Advice? 

Hi,

Product: Dell 4K u2718q - Manufactured in Set 2017

Problem: Windows shows "power surge" message always when I connect monitors's USB hub in my PC

Question: What else can I try debugging this issue? See description.

Description: 

Monitor was received 3 weeks ago

Everytime I connect the monitor's USB hub in my computer, Windows shows: "Power Surge" message.

My motherboard has three types of USB connections. 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1

What I have tested so far:

- Checked and confirmed that all my usb ports are working and sound

- Replaced the USB cabe.

- Reinstall Drivers

- Adding a Third Party Hub between PC - Monitor

For all the bullets above the issue persists. Windows always shows the power surge message. 

Problem: Monitor shows intermittently a black flicker ( Image stays all black for a second )

Monitor u2718q - Firmware M2B101

Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 1070

Connection: HDMI cable

Questions:

- How to debug the issue?

- How to verify signal integrity between PC Monitor?

How do I connect 2 U2414H monitors with a dell precision 5510?
Intel graphics 530

Hello! I recently bought a used Dell U2711 to include free with the following project I've been working on (I was going to send a Dell U2412M, but really wanted the recipients to have a higher res screen for working more easily with HD material):

www.sgidepot.co.uk/.../charitypc1.html

When the display is up, it all looks ok, but issues arise when I turn off or reboot the system. It fails to recognise a signal after any amount of time away from being fully on, ie. the power saving mode goes haywire. After shutting down the PC, instead of the power indicator lighting changing to flashing orange, it will either change to steady orange or steady blue and then in either case get stuck (ie. power and menu buttons have no effect). Likewise, with the system up and an active
signal, if I try switching the inputs via the OSD, the OSD itself can just freeze, ie. lock up. It's a pity because the picture itself is fine, but atm it can't even handle a reboot - screen stays dark, kybd
lights indicate normal booting, but nothing on the display; if I unplug the power cable from the monitor and plug it in 20 seconds later, then the screen will come up ok, ie. to the Windows desktop. Trying the connection on a different monitor (Dell U2713HM), it all works ok.

The PC is running Win7/Pro/64bit, GPU is a GTX 980. Note I've tried
both via DP and DVI, using new cables (DVI was dual-link), but no joy,
same thing happens.

Here's a picture of the screen while the screen is working ok:

www.sgidepot.co.uk/.../P1120738s.jpg

Anyone any idea what might be wrong? Perhaps faulty power circuitry?
I tried a factory reset, no luck.

Thanks!!

Ian.

PS. The Service Tag on the unit is <Service tag removed>

I've order this monitor and want to know if anybody else out there has this combination. 

I want to know the best cable for connecting (the Macbook is USB-C only) and if a USB hard drive can be connected to rear of monitor and be detected by the Macbook by the same cable. I only want one cable to monitor and the monitor to handle everything else.

Have I got this setup the correct way for this particular laptop and monitor setup? I seem to only be able to get the monitor to work if I connect them with an HDMI to HDMI cable but to get the extra ports on the monitor to work I have also had to plug in the USB 3.0 upstream cable (which apparently enables the USB ports on the monitor). So it takes two cables to get everything working? Note: The HDMI to HDMI cable was not supplied with monitor, the DP cable (DP to mDP) that is supplied I don't have a connection on laptop for) . I have an external hard drive and a mouse plugged into the monitor and they are both working as long as I have it setup this way.

I'm hearing a constant and annoying low-level hiss from the built-in monitor speakers at all volume levels on both displayport and hdmi inputs tested over two different machines.  This only occurs when there is some application running with audio that is paused, or not currently playing any audio... such as a paused video, or say a video game loading screen with no audio. 

This is my second U3818dw, and both monitors make the same noise.  I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this, and is this "normal" operating behavior?  I'm wondering if the noise floor of the built-in speakers is just extremely high and relies on muting to eliminate the background hiss when it senses no audio?

I have a two monitor set-up with a U2717D connected via mDP and a Dell F2005W via DVI. Windows 10. Radeon HD 5870

When ether the screen saver or PC puts the the monitors to sleep. The U2717D won't wake and I get an on monitor error the mDP connection can't be found.  My work around is to cycle the power of monitor, then it is recognized, and the connection is made.  This however messes up the placement of any windows I may have open.

Dell Display Manager is installed and after reinstalling the Radeon drivers it actually now recognizes the  U2717D 

Any help troubleshooting is welcome.

Hi

first of all, I need to strees that it's clear, that this is an common issue with U2518D, because I can find on the internet numbers of people, who have exactly same problem as I am, for example:
en.community.dell.com/.../20025331

So the problem is basically "tearing" in every game or 3D aplication despite that the Vsync is ON and FPS well over 60. I call it "tearing", because it looks very much like tearing in games with disabled Vsync. But it doesn't look entirely like that, because normal tearing is usually only one horizontal line when the image is shifted, but in case of the U2518D, this line goes all the way from top to bottom, like entire image is refreshed. Because of that, it is much more distracting that usual tearing with disabled Vsync.

I also found out, that it is related to the resolution like this:

2560x1440 - GTX960, DisplayPort -> U2518D mDP port
In this resolution, every +/- 26 seconds, the monitor display rather then tearing more like stuttering, so every 26 seconds there is short stutter and maybe minor tearing. This is quite distracting, it is not as much strong but it is too often, basically it is there all the time.

1920x1080 - GTX960, DisplayPort -> U2518D mDP port
In this resolution, every +/- 36 seconds, there is the tearing mentioned above (and also in the post by Thomas_nx5). This is extremely distracting, not only it happens way too frequent, but it looks really horrible as well.

1080p - PS4 HDMI -> U2518D HDMI
Same problem like in 1920x1080 on PC with DP.

720p/1080i - PS4 HDMI -> U2518D HDMI
Strangely enought, in 720p and even in 1080i, there is absolutely no problem with tearing. The movement is perfectly smooth, no tearing, no stuttering.

Other resolutions - GTX960, DisplayPort -> U2518D mDP port
2560x1440 - stuttering
2048x1080 - OK, no tearing/stuttering
1920x1080 - tearing
1600x1200 - OK, no tearing/stuttering
1280x1024 - OK, no tearing/stuttering
1280x720 - OK, no tearing/stuttering
1024x768 - OK, no tearing/stuttering

So as it looks, the problem with smoothness is only in native 1440p and 1080p resolution. But of course, that is huge problem, because obviously, we want to use this monitor in a native resolution.

All test was done also on my second monitor, HP ZR24w, where is absolutely no problem with smoothnes of the movement. So it's clear, that the problem is in U2518D, not in PC, PS4 or anywhere else.
As a test for PC, I tested it in many games and also found this handy utility by NVIDIA which nicely show the problem as well and it is very fast to setup. Just click on 60 FPS, turn on VSync and turn on orbit camera with maximum speed.
www.nvidia.com/.../demos

So please, as this really looking like systematic problem for U2518D, can someone from technical department look at this and diagnose properly this problem, why is this happening and what can be done with it? If it is a problem for all U2518D, or there are only couple of defective examples? If it is a problem with firmware, which may be updated?

I found out that DELL U3415W monitor received firmware update, that should resolve a problem with flickering. So my question is, what need to be done to do this? What do we customers have to do, so DELL technical department look at this and maybe fix the firmware or at least say that this is just a "feature" of the U2518D and it never be smooth in 1440p/1080p, so we can return this monitor and buy something else?

The fact is, that with exception of this problem, I am very satisfied with this monitor. I like the image quality, design, it has perfect size and resolution. It has very good response time and minimal input lag. Also my monitor has no dead pixel or any major problem with uniformity of luminance. So I really don't like the idea to return it and replace with another U2518D, which may be worse and probably not solve this problem at all.

Test setup:
EVGA GTX960 SSC 4GB - DisplayPort
Windows 7 64-bit

PS4 Slim 1TB - HDMI

I also tried to change version of DP and HDMI in monitor setup, but none of that helped.

Please check this issue properly, it is in your best interest also to not sell so many potentialy defective monitors which you have to then refund. So it is also in your interest to discover the source of this problem and do necessary changes to fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you

When I disconnect the P2715Q monitor and start to use the monitor on my laptop everything is Ok.  When I reconnect the P2715Q I notice font changes.  In Windows 10 File Explorer the font in the left panel is larger than the right panel, and the fonts in Quicken are smaller.  When I reboot the laptop, everything is back to normal on the P2715Q monitor.  Is this normal?  Is there a setting in Windows 10 that I need to make so I don't have to reboot when returning to use the P2715Q?

Just bought this great U3417W and am going crazy trying to get it to work with my MacBook Pro 2017 with Touch Bar running Apple OS High Sierra. I was assured by at least ten by Dell salesperson that the U3417W would work with my Apple. I am using a USB hub connected to my C port - the one that also charges - and using the HDMI cable to the U3417W. Many issues to even get the connection and even more to get the clamshell option to work so I can close my laptop and use a wireless Apple Magic Mouse and the Logitech wireless keyboard. Have mirror display set on the arrangement. Sometimes it works. Other times the screen on the U3417W shakes back and forth and I disconnect the cable and start over. Help. When I bought and assured it works, nothing said about "sometimes" and ready to send it back.

Hello, my P2416D monitor is making a very faint squealish sound when turned off but still plugged in. I have two of these monitors and have had them since 06/2015 and 05/2016. One of them seems to be a little louder than the other, but again it is very faint. Is this normal? I honestly am not sure if they have always made the sound or not, but I have noticed it in the last couple days. It is a constant sound that I only notice when everything else in my room is quiet. I should add, when I turn the monitors on the sound goes away (seems backwards right?). I have tried changing power cables, changing which plug they go into on the surge protector, and have tried plugging directly into wall - nothing changes. Is there any way to address this sound? If not, is it normal? Should I be worried of any critical failures?

Thanks

We have been using the U3415W successfully for some time with a standard Fujitsu desktop PC, during which time the DDM grid system has worked without a glitch.

However, we've recently bought in some SP4's and connected them to the U3415W. The U3415W's are working fine, however, DDM is very temperamental. You can set the grid to a specific format. But, if you dock/undock the SP4, the grid selection defaults to the red cross i.e. no grid selection. DDM is still running but there is no grid selected. We have to keep re-selecting the grid selection at least once a day.  Anyone else had any similar issues, or have any suggestions for troubleshooting this please?

As of 12/20/17, version 1.31.1899, when downloaded from here.

32/64 bit Operating System support: Windows 10/8/7/Vista

Requires one or more Dell DDC/CI and asset management enabled monitors with a WHQL display driver that supports DDC/CI.

Troubleshooting

If DDM is unable to detect and/or communicate with a supported Dell monitor:
- make sure you have the correct and latest display driver from the graphics vendor (AMD, Intel, Nvidia)
- check the monitor OSD to ensure DDC/CI is enabled
- remove any docking stations or cable extenders or converters between the monitor and the graphics port
- with first generation DP 1.2 monitors, it may be necessary to disable MST/DP 1.2 using the monitor OSD
- virtual and wireless displays do not support DDC/CI

DisplayLink / e-Docks

USB DisplayLink-based graphics may require version 8.0 or newer USB Graphics Software from DisplayLink. USB-C docks may require the latest Intel  TB3 (Thunderbolt 3) drivers.

Auto-rotation

Auto-rotation is only available on displays with supporting firmware, and only applies to changes in
physical or OSD menu orientation made while DDM is connected to the monitor.

Easy Arrange

Easy Arrange is only available on select display models, and while enabled may disable Microsoft Snap window dragging to minimize feature overlap (Windows Snap hotkeys remain enabled). To temporarily disable Easy Arrange while moving a window, hold down the Shift key until the move completes. A checkbox is provided to reverse this default logic.

Auto Mode and Metro/Windows apps

To associate a Metro/Windows app with a Preset mode, open the app on the Windows 10 desktop and drag-and-drop the top-left corner of the app window into the Auto Mode application list. If Easy Arrange is enabled, it may be necessary to hold down the Shift key to temporarily disable auto-positioning.

Command Line

Command Line usage is provided within the software but "How too" usage is not supported by Dell technicians. A rich and flexible command language is supported via the command-line, and command-line arguments can be combined. Where appropriate, a specific display can be targeted by
prefacing the command with the display number, e.g., "2:AutoSetup"; if a display number is not specified the command will be applied to the current selected display or to all displays, as appropriate. Commands include:

SetActiveInput [DVI2/HDMI/DP2,etc] - switches active input
RestoreFactoryDefaults - restores factory defaults*
AutoSetup - executes an autosetup (analog only)*
RestoreLevelDefaults - restores level defaults*
RestoreColorDefaults - restores color defaults*
SetBrightnessLevel X - sets brightness to X% (0-100)*
SetContrastLevel X - sets contrast to X% (0-100)*
SetNamedPreset [Movie/CAL1,etc] - changes the Preset mode*
SetPowerMode [on/off] - sets the display power mode*
SetOptimalResolution - switches to optimal resolution
SaveProfile [Name] - save settings to named profile*
RestoreProfile [Name] - restore settings from named profile*
DeleteProfile [Name] - delete named profile
SetGridType [X] - changes Easy Arrange grid type to X
Rescan - rescans display hardware
ForceReset - reconnects and rescans display hardware
SetControl X Y - sets hex control X to hex value Y
IncControl X Y - increases the value of control X by Y
DecControl X Y - decreases the value of control X by Y
Zoom - switches between PxP and fullscreen mode
Wait X - pause X milliseconds
Exit - terminates the program

Some of these commands require familiarity with the MCCS standard. For example, on monitors that support it the command to switch the OSD language to Spanish would be "SetControl CC 0A"; to unlock an OSD that has been inadvertently locked "SetControl CA 02".

Instructions can be combined on the command-line, and assigned to standard Windows shortcuts with optional hotkeys or coupled with the native Windows Task Scheduler to execute at certain times.

For example: "ddm.exe /RestoreLevelDefaults /2:SetContrastLevel 70"

would first restore level defaults on all monitors, and then set the contrast level on monitor #2 to 70%.

NB: If not targeted to a specific monitor, commands listed above that are tagged with an asterisk (*) apply to all monitors to facilitate simple and uniform control over all members of a multimonitor matrix. For instance, if executed on a matrix of 16 identical monitors, the command-line:
"ddm.exe /SetNamedPreset Warm /SetBrightnessLevel 75"

would set all 16 monitors to Warm preset mode, with a brightness level of 75%.

Just finished assembling a computer today (i7-8700k based).  The U2718Q was working fine with it.  After a few windows updates and a restart the monitor comes up and shows the BIOS splash screen and then says there's no HDMI signal and goes to sleep.  

If I disconnect the HDMI cable and plug the PC into another non-dell, non-4k monitor I see the PC video.   If I plug the U2718Q into my Mac Mini HDMI, I see video.

Somehow I'm guessing the Windows 10 update messed up settings somewhere.  I'm using the internal motherboard video, but it's a bit of a catch22.  Can't play with the dell settings if it's not plugged in.  Various power cycles and HDMI connections/disconnections seems to make no difference.

Any suggestion on how to move forward?

Thanks.

Just bought this monitor and it's displaying vertical green dots across the screen except for the far right of the screen. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

Reason line = Dell S2716DG - usb ports not working and showing into device manager as "unknown device" with no software to update. hardware id being : USB\VID_0451&PID_8142&REV_0100
Keep saying drivers not installed

Body =

* What is the monitor 20 digit alpha-numeric monitor serial number and A0x revision?

S/N: CN-0Y44M5-QDC00-79F-10HU REV A07
* Was the monitor purchased new directly from Dell? Or from a reseller?

Reseller (Bpm-Power.it)
* What specific computer model?

Personal Computer
* What operating system?

Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
* What specific video card?

Zotac 1080 Amp! Extreme
* What video out ports are on the video card? (VGA/DVI/HDMI/DP/mDP)

* List all monitor cables and/or adapters attached to the computer and the ports they are using.

Displayport and usb cable to the motherboard
* Did you install the DDM (Dell Displays Manager) software? If yes, uninstall it, reboot the computer and retest the monitor

Dunno if it's the one included with the dvd but I can't find this application installed
* What Windows power plan? Example = High performance, PCI-e Link State Off

High Perfomance

PCI-e always on

No powersaving at all.
* If the monitor is functional in Windows, press the monitor Menu button to open the OSD (On Screen Display). What is the left Resolution and right Maximum?

Hi - just got a new Dell UltraHD Monitor S2817Q to use with my XPS-15 laptop and Thunderbolt dock. The monitor comes with USB, HDMI and DP cables. Which would be the best to use to connect the dock to the monitor and why? Thanks
