Thanks for your help. U2719DC ordered.

Hi,
Can U2719DC charge the laptop when the screen is off?

[PCM2]

I don’t believe so. The monitor has a USB standby option which allows the USB 3.0 ports to charge connected devices if the monitor is on standby, but the manual specifically says the following about the relevant feature in the OSD:

“NOTE: USB ON/OFF under standby mode is only available when the USB Type-C cable is unplugged. This option is greyed out when the USB Type-C cable plugs in.”

So you’d probably need to use the USB 3.0 ports if you wish to charge a device with the monitor ‘off’ (on standby).

Hi PCM2,
Thank you for your comment.
Could you kindly tell me if the monitor charges the laptop (XPS 9370) through USB-C port? Relating to the previous question, to be honest, I sometime just connect my laptop to the monitor through USB-C for charging purpose.

[PCM2]

USB-C on the monitor offers up to 65W power delivery, so it is designed to charge laptops connected that way. If the monitor is on. With such a wattage it’s clear why it would be designed to deliver that only with the monitor on, not in standby which is supposed to be a power saving state.

Screen received for 2 days. Beautiful design, beautiful image quality but the transition from 24 “to 27” is difficult. Despite my decline of 75 cm, I find the slab very large. I wonder if I will not have to return it to go back to 24. “On word with 2 pages, I keep moving my head, and I notice some image breaks when I play CS GO. .embarrassing.
I leave myself a little more time to see if I send it back or not.

[PCM2]

I would give it more time. Although it is odd that you need to move your head. You should be able to see all of the screen from that viewing distance purely moving your eyes. I can do so on significantly wider screens (34-35″ UltraWides) from a similar viewing distance, no head movement required. It might be a behavioural impulse which you can overcome with time. Unless you wear glasses? If so, depending on the frame design it can cut short your peripheral vision and necessitate head movement due to the frame around the lenses.

And what do you mean by “notice some image breaks when I play CS:GO”? If you mean tearing, that’s a GPU issue and a frame rate and refresh rate mismatch. Nothing to do with the monitor.

[cfil]

yes it is a good tearing. I have a GTX 970 and I’m a little over 200 fps on CS: GO? How to solve the problem?

[PCM2]

Getting massively off-topic here. But you’d need to enable VSync to eliminate the tearing or to reduce it (without the latency penalty of VSync) use a frame rate limiter of 60fps or a multiple (e.g. 180fps).

[cfil]

Thank you for your reply. I’ll try it for a few more days and I’ll see how it goes.

[cfil]

It’s been a week that I test the screen and I’m still not convinced … I find the slab still too large and the screen too bright (yet brightness down to 20% with desk lit). On CS: GO, still jerks. I think to return it to take the dell S2417dg.

[PCM2]

That’s fair enough, size is a very personal thing and you’ve given it a chance but it’s still not for you. And the Dell S2417DG will certainly give you a much smoother gameplay experience on CSGO, it’s very nicely suited to that kind of use.

[cfil]

s2417dg received and I am disappointed. even after adjustment, I find the image very dull … nothing to do with the image of u2719dc. it is sure that to play, g-sync is great but we must make a lot of concession at the image level. I think I have not found my ideal screen yet … still in research.

[PCM2]

That’s a shame, although not at all surprising. When you say ‘even after adjustment’, which adjustments have you made? As per the review you need to go beyond just OSD adjustment with that model. Try our ICC profile if you haven’t already, otherwise try adjusting gamma in the graphics driver. That’s a key issue with this model, but there are others as raised in the review when comparing to something like the U2719DC. A worse colour gamut and significantly worse colour consistency – things are never going to look as vibrant.

[cfil]

I applied your profile icc, I played with the gamma and nothing satisfactory … when I put my macbook pro 2016, what differences!. I have never had a TN and I understand why you advise an ips screen. the u2719dc had a good image quality without going into the osd. When you do not have a calibration probe (this is my case), this is an essential point.

[candidate]

@ cfil – how was the image quality, response time and bleeding on U2719DC – currently I’m considering buying U2719D or U2715H – this one is old model but have great opinions and about U2719D/C there is no good reviews on the internet….

[PCM2]

Just to reiterate for others reading this. We’ll be reviewing this model shortly. User feedback suggests a tighter factory calibration than the 15H, no particular issues with responsiveness or other areas. Backlight bleed varies between individual units, as always. Some 15Hs had quite some issues with that.

[candidate]

If we belive in these specs it seems that U2719D have IPS panel not PLS… But again I don’t know if those info are correct…

[PCM2]

The bad news is you can’t trust things on that website which aren’t publically specified, such as panel used (or bit depth and use of dithering, in some cases). They take official information which they are very good at displaying correctly but combine it with some educated guesses, which sometimes turns out to be incorrect. The good news is it doesn’t matter. Samsung’s modern PLS panels are characteristically very similar to LG Display IPS panels. So whether the U2719D uses one of the other is neither here nor there.

[candidate]

When we check U2715H and U2717D the panels are correct there AH-IPS and PLS only for new model U2719D we can’t be sure even if they say it’s IPS – we need to wait to confirm exact panel when there will be more solid reviews not only “news” 😉
