Does anybody know if there is a dedicated button or any other way to turn on the laptop? E.g. if I use my laptop with the lid closed. This monitor effectively replaces the USB-C docking stations. So AFAIK, the only thing missing here is the power button. I know it wasn't possible in the last generation, but perhaps Dell has come up with a solution this time.

Would have been a perfect purchase to upgrade my monitor if it had a resolution of at least 2k. Such a shame

Need more QHD min, ideally 4k (yes even for 24 inch). FHD is not enough for this price point USB-C or not.

Glad to hear Dell is making use of the daisy chaining feature. It's very useful for laptops, but still rarely supported.

Same here. WTF, 450$ for 1920x1200 is not doing it, Dell. 2K would have been perfect at this size
