Dell S 27 4K Monitor (S2725QS) review

Dell S2725QS is the cheapest way to a 4K desk on this list. Dell.com listed it at $279.99 against an estimated value of $299.99 when we checked, and for that price you get a 27-inch 4K panel at 120Hz with AMD FreeSync Premium, two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 port that each run 4K at 120Hz, and two 5W speakers. The stand goes further than many budget monitors, with up to 5.12 inches of height, tilt, swivel 30 degrees each way and 90 degree pivot. Dell lists ComfortView Plus and an anti-glare screen, plus a 3-Year Advanced Exchange Service and Premium Panel Exchange warranty. What you give up is the single-cable laptop setup: there is no USB-C upstream port, so a laptop needs its own charger and a video cable. The panel specs are basic, at 1,500:1 contrast, 350 nits and 99% sRGB. For a desktop PC that already has HDMI or DisplayPort, it covers everyday work. We compared documented features and published prices only.
