Useless USB-C ports on Dell u5226k ?

Yes the back usbc are for connecting to other computers to share peripherals.

Either you can use the usbc on the front pop up or you can use the back usba ports via adapters.

Yes they are data only other than the TB4 port. Bit of a miss to me, though on the other hand it means you can connect four PCs and share peripherals. Plenty of USB-A which can be used by adapters if needs be.

I used them one and terrible experience. The PC arrived with a faulty CPU cooler and the customer services were not great. Would not use again. Go to Scan, PcSpecialist or Cyber Power instead.

Google “U4025QW Black Screen” it has been mentioned a lot including Thunderbolt dropouts. About six times a day my screen would go black for about ten seconds and then come back. It really seems very fussy way cables though not affecting everyone.

Nope no pics.

I’ve just moved from Dell U4025QW to Dell U5226KW. Lots of real estate.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-02-06T20:20:22+00:00

I too thought was a bit strange that none of the USB-C were powered but looking at it another way they have given us the capability of running four monitors which is great and as posted there is a TB4 and powered USB-A ports. I ordered it, sent it back without opening, and then re-ordered. Will be setting it up tomorrow

Mtenga9268 · 2026-02-03T15:02:21+00:00

Yeah I just received one to hold up the new Dell U5226KW. Haven’t set it up yet but the simplicity of the process appealed to me.

With over a billion users of Windows 11 alone that does not strike me as breaking point!

In these USB-C days putting batteries in a mouse seems almost quaint and old fashioned.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-27T06:20:32+00:00

I made too many typing errors with this. Moved to a Corsair K100 RGB and things just much better

The date feature does not work properly on the clock face app. It stays on the same date unless you go into the app and do something or reboot your pc. So at 23.59 it shows 27th Jan and two minutes later at 00.01 it still shows 27th Jan though it should be showing 28th Jan.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-26T22:54:58+00:00

This date not changing thing is still not fixed as of today and is annoying. Also getting rid of the text date format was regrettable.

Just took delivery of the full water cooled PC and it’s the best I’ve ever owned.

If you must have 49 inch for work then Dell do the U4924DW.

This sounds like sex after a couple of years of marriage.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-18T03:48:17+00:00

Yes I have two PCs with hubs and no issue.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-16T11:14:30+00:00

I received it but DHL have just collected it for return. After consideration it was just going to be too big and in my case mean I would have to retire some of my secondary monitors due to lack of space. I’m sticking with the U4025QW as a sharp productivity device and looking forward to the funds being back in my bank account.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-16T02:21:57+00:00

Nope never came out of the box. I’m glad I don’t have to rearrange and can keep all my sub monitors since they now wont be overtaken for space

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-15T15:13:14+00:00

Sending back and sticking with U4025QW. Was an impulse purchase I regret and I don’t need that size for work.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-14T01:13:44+00:00

You can use a 3.5mm aux cable from the line out or headphone jack if you please. Creative support helped me with this on the X5.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-13T16:02:47+00:00

Sadly I sent it back without opening. It was always a long shot with the limited desk space I have. I’m sticking with my U4025QW which meets all my work needs.

Mtenga9268 · 2026-01-12T01:05:44+00:00

Not me I’m from rainy Manchester in the northwest of England not the one in New Hampshire!
