Dell S 27 4K USB-C Monitor (S2725QC) review

Dell S2725QC brings two features usually reserved for pricier monitors, 120Hz at 4K and USB-C charging, down to $349.99. Its USB-C upstream port carries DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode and up to 65W of power, enough for most thin-and-light laptops, and a second USB-C port supplies 15W to accessories. Two HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K at 120Hz with VRR, so a console also works, and AMD FreeSync Premium is listed. Dell includes two 5W speakers, which the UltraSharp lacks. The stand adjusts up to 5.12 inches in height, tilts from -5 to 21 degrees and swivels 30 degrees each way. The trade-offs are in the panel and coverage: Dell lists 1,500:1 contrast, 350 nits and 99% sRGB, and the standard warranty is 1 year. For office work and general use those figures are fine; for color-critical work, look at the ASUS ProArt. We compared documented features and published prices only.
