I’m constantly evaluating the displays I use for image quality, performance, ease-of-use, and more.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Dell.
Dell had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
This isn’t a cheap monitor by any means, but you’re absolutely getting your money’s worth.
you could even daisy chain other monitors.
If any display will actively make you more productive, it’s this one.
Thin enough bezels, a slim enough chassis, sturdy enough build quality what more do you need?
Along the front, you’ll find the 27-inch display.
While obviously lacking the punch of OLED, this is nonetheless an excellent display.
Yeah, this monitor renders fine text with ease and can scroll through mountains of it smoother than silk.
It’s a simple design, but the monitor feels well-built and is easy to put together.
Still, blacks do look great, and that consistent backlight further helps.
Finally, let’s talk about the headlining feature for this monitor: the Thunderbolt 4 hub.
Oh, did I forget to mention I still have three USB ports left over?
It’s a consistent, comfortable display that looks good no matter what you’re doing.
All of that, accessible to my desktop and whatever Thunderbolt-equipped laptop I’m using.
Enough that I’m properly spoiled by a monitor that can handle so much.
The monitor is also hesitant to get bright, with a warning every time you go above 75%.
Not a display meant for creatives, the U2725QE nonetheless delivers great color accuracy.
The Thunderbolt 4 and USB key in-C upstream cables in the box are also incredibly short.
Finally, there’s the On-Screen Display (OSD) and the new Dell Display and Peripheral Manager.
OLED monitors, usually.
That’s more ports than I’ve seen on any other monitor.(Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy)
I’m constantly cycling through monitors, laptops, accessories.
The U2725QE is just that useful.
And then there are three more on top of that.(Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy)
A power button and a tiny joystick to navigate the awkward OSD.
This software looks good enough, but it’s a pain to use.
I have to take this monitor down and move on to the next thing, but I’m going to miss it.
