FAQs

What is the main advantage of the ComfortView Plus feature?

ComfortView Plus reduces harmful blue light emissions to ≤35% without compromising color accuracy, which helps reduce eye strain during prolonged use.

Does this monitor support variable refresh rate technologies like FreeSync or G-SYNC?

No, the Dell S2725DS does not support AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC. It features a fixed 100Hz refresh rate.

What are the dimensions of the monitor with the stand?

The monitor with the stand has a height of 518.6 mm, a width of 611.3 mm, and a depth of 200.4 mm.

What is the resolution and aspect ratio of the display?

The display resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels (Quad HD), with a native aspect ratio of 16:9.

Can I use this monitor for competitive gaming?

While the 100Hz refresh rate offers smoother motion than 60Hz, the 8ms response time (5ms fast) and lack of FreeSync/G-SYNC support make it less ideal for high-level competitive gaming. It's better suited for casual gaming and productivity.

What materials is the monitor made from?

The monitor is crafted using sustainable materials, including 85% post-consumer plastic, closed-loop ITE-derived plastic, 100% recycled aluminum, and at least 20% recycled glass.

How do I adjust the monitor's height and angle?

The monitor stand allows for height adjustment (up to 13 cm), tilt (-5° to 21°), swivel (-30° to 30°), and pivot (-90° to 90°), enabling you to customize your viewing position.

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power button is pressed.

No image displayed / 'No Signal' message

Verify that the video cable (HDMI/DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and the computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu. Try a different cable or port if available.

Screen flickering or motion blur

Check the refresh rate setting in your computer's display settings and ensure it is set to 100Hz. If using FreeSync (though not supported on this model, troubleshooting similar issues), ensure drivers are updated. For general motion blur, try adjusting the response time setting in the OSD menu.

Colors appear inaccurate or washed out

Adjust the color settings (brightness, contrast, color mode) in the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Ensure the color profile on your computer matches the monitor's settings. Check the sRGB coverage settings.

Built-in speakers not producing sound

Ensure the monitor is not muted in the OSD settings. Verify that the audio output is selected to the monitor speakers in your computer's sound settings.
