Dell P2725DE monitor 27" QHD IPS 100 Hz USB-C 90 W USB-A, 8 ms

The USB-C port supplies up to 90 W to a laptop, which is enough for most office and business models. A keyboard, mouse or other peripheral can stay plugged into the monitor's USB-A connection, and a wired network cable into its RJ-45 jack. In the morning you connect the laptop with one cable and everything you need is ready; in the evening you take it with you just as quickly. There is no need to dig the charger and adapters out of your bag every day.

2560 × 1440 pixels on a 27-inch screen means sharp text and noticeably more usable space than a Full HD monitor: you can keep two full-size windows side by side or see a large part of a spreadsheet at once. The IPS panel keeps colour and contrast consistent across 178° viewing angles, and 16.7 million colours give photos and presentations a natural look. Brightness of 350 cd/m² suits a bright office as well.

Besides USB-C, the monitor has two DisplayPort inputs and one HDMI port, so a desktop PC can be connected alongside the laptop and you switch inputs from the menu. The 100 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and moving windows smoother than on a standard office monitor. The response time is 8 ms, which is entirely adequate for office work, video calls and videos, while fast competitive games are better served by gaming monitors.

The stand lets you raise and lower the screen, tilt it, swivel it to the sides and pivot it into portrait mode, where long documents, contracts or code are easier to read. With the top edge at eye level, your neck and shoulders stay relaxed even at the end of a long working day. The edge-lit LED backlight keeps the housing slim, there are no built-in speakers, and the monitor weighs 6.59 kg with its stand.

Home office workers who want to connect a laptop, keyboard, mouse and network with a single cable; offices where laptops move between the desk and the meeting room; analysts and project managers who gain room for several windows from a 27-inch QHD screen; and anyone who wants a dock-free desk without a tangle of cables.
