What customers say about "Connectivity"

Dell S2718D Monitor

Works perfectly with my 2017 Macbook Pro 15 inch - connects via the one cable & Charges too! The connectivity is just perfect!
I love the fact that it charges my HP laptop through the same USB-C cable.
The USB-C charges my Macbook Pro 13' which I originally thought wasn't possible because of the power supply.
I can use an external USB mouse and a USB card reader connected to the base of the monitor while the MacBook is connected to it via a single USB-C cable.
The monitor has simple and affordable connectors for connecting.

Dell U2718Q IPS Monitor

Dell has lot of USB ports, including 2 fast charging ports for charging iPhones/iPads etc.
Lot of connection options. Easy connects to Mac. JUst be sure that your PC has HDMI 2.0 ports.
Works well out of the box with my 2017 Macbook pro using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
Supported natively by Windows 10 and the older graphics card I'm still using via displayport.
The "Smart HDR" feature is greyed out in the menu if you don't connect via HDMI.
