Dell UltraSharp U2724DE Monitor Setup and Daisy Chain Guide
Introduction
This guide provides essential steps for setting up your Dell UltraSharp U2724DE monitor, including connecting it to your computer and configuring a daisy chain setup.
Unpacking and Stand Assembly
Step 1: Unpack Components
Carefully unpack all items from the box. You should find the monitor panel, the monitor stand base, the stand neck, and various cables. Ensure all parts are present before proceeding.
Step 2: Assemble the Stand
Follow these steps to attach the stand to the monitor:
- Attach the stand neck to the monitor panel.
- Attach the stand neck to the monitor stand base.
- Secure the stand assembly. The diagrams show specific connection points and locking mechanisms.
Connecting Your Monitor
Step 3: Connect Cables
Connect the following cables to the appropriate ports on the back of the monitor:
- Power Cable: Connect to the power input.
- USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 Cable: Connect to your computer for video, data, and power delivery. The monitor features multiple Thunderbolt 4 ports (In and Out) and USB-C ports.
- DisplayPort (DP) Out: Used for daisy-chaining to another monitor.
- USB-A Ports: Connect your peripherals like keyboards, mice, or webcams.
A single USB-C or Thunderbolt 4 cable connection from your computer can power the monitor, transmit video, and enable data transfer.
Daisy Chain Setup
To connect multiple monitors:
Step 1: Connect Computer to Primary Monitor
Connect your computer's Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C port to the primary monitor's Thunderbolt 4 In port using a compatible cable.
Step 2: Connect Primary to Secondary Monitor
Connect the primary monitor's Thunderbolt 4 Out port to the secondary monitor's Thunderbolt 4 In port using another Thunderbolt 4 cable. Alternatively, you may use the DisplayPort Out port on the primary monitor to connect to the secondary monitor's DisplayPort In port, depending on your setup and desired functionality.
This allows you to extend your display across multiple screens from a single port on your computer.
Monitor Adjustment
Step 4: Adjust Monitor Position
After connecting and powering on the monitor, adjust the stand for optimal viewing comfort:
- Tilt: Adjust the screen angle forward or backward. The diagram shows that tilting too far back is incorrect [❌]. Ensure the tilt is within the safe range to avoid damage [✔️].
- Swivel: Rotate the monitor left or right on its base.
- Height Adjustment: Raise or lower the monitor screen to your preferred eye level.
- Rotation: The monitor can also be rotated for portrait viewing if supported by your system [?].
Refer to the diagrams for correct adjustment procedures.
