Dell UltraSharp 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U2725QE) review

Dell UltraSharp U2725QE is the most complete work monitor on this list. Dell describes it as the world's first enhanced IPS Black monitor, with a 3,000:1 native contrast ratio, roughly three times the 1,000:1 typical contrast ASUS lists for the ProArt PA279CRV. The 4K panel runs at 120Hz and covers 99% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB, and Dell lists VESA DisplayHDR 600. The hub is what sets it apart: a Thunderbolt 4 upstream port charges a laptop at up to 140W, a downstream Thunderbolt 4 port daisy chains a second screen, and the monitor adds 2.5GbE Ethernet, a KVM switch and several 10Gbps USB ports. An ambient light sensor and ComfortView Plus handle eye comfort. Dell.com listed it at $799.99 against an estimated value of $849.99 when we checked, with a 3 year limited warranty. There are no speakers or webcam. We compared documented features and published prices only.
