Dell Pro P2725QE 27" Black, Silver, Dual Color 2026

A brilliant 4K office monitor with a buttery 100Hz refresh and a built-in hub that charges your laptop. Stop squinting at a 60Hz screen and clean up your desk with one cable.

The jump to 100Hz is what surprised us most. It's not a gaming panel, but everything from scrolling through spreadsheets to just moving your mouse feels instantly smoother and more responsive than a standard 60Hz office display. The 5ms response time keeps things crisp, and while the 350 nits of brightness is solid for indoor use, it's the 99% sRGB coverage and 10-bit color that make colors pop without looking cartoonish. It's a clear step above the dull panels most IT departments hand out.

Stacked against the Gigabyte M Series OLED MO27Q28G, the Dell gets smoked on contrast and gaming speed, but the Gigabyte can't match the Dell's built-in hub and ethernet port for pure productivity. The Samsung G75T is a curved VA panel that's better for immersive gaming and media, but its text clarity and viewing angles are a step down from this IPS panel. If your day is 90% Excel and code, the Dell is the smarter tool. If you're splitting time 50/50 with gaming, look at the Gigabyte or MSI MAG 272QP QD-OLED.

Pricing is all over the map, from $170 for an open-box unit to $800 new, which is a wild spread. At the high end, you're flirting with OLED territory, which is a tough sell. But if you can snag one around the $400-$500 mark, it's a fantastic deal for a feature-packed 4K hub monitor. The open-box deals on Newegg are the real steal here if you're willing to roll the dice.

The Dell Pro P2725QE is the office monitor that finally gets it. You're getting a crisp 27-inch 4K panel, a genuinely useful 100Hz refresh rate, and a built-in hub that'll clean up your desk, all wrapped in a package that's easy on the eyes. The one thing to know? This is a productivity powerhouse that makes 60Hz screens feel broken, and the USB-C connectivity with 90W power delivery means your laptop charges while you work with a single cable.

If you're a gamer first, this isn't it. The 100Hz is nice, but you can get a true high-refresh 1440p or 4K gaming monitor with much faster response times and better HDR for the same money. Go grab a Gigabyte M28U or an LG UltraGear instead. Similarly, if you need a monitor for color-critical print work, you'll want something with a wider Adobe RGB gamut.

The Dell Pro P2725QE is the monitor to beat if you want a no-compromises work-from-home setup. It nails the basics with a sharp 4K panel and excellent ergonomics, then sweetens the deal with a 100Hz refresh rate and a connectivity hub that actually makes your life easier. It's not for gamers or video editors who need perfect HDR, but for everyone else, this is the screen that'll make you more productive and your desk less cluttered. We highly recommend it.
