Product Overview

Dell UltraSharp U2721DE is a 27-inch QHD monitor designed for productivity. It comes with a built-in USB hub that includes RJ45 LAN connectivity for single-cable solution when connected to laptops or mobile workstations.

The virtually non-existent side bezels make the U2721DE an interesting candidate for multi-display setup. For ergonomics, the monitor comes with a stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustability.

Like other premium monitors by Dell in the UltraSharp lineup, the U2721DE doubles as a USB hub.

Other monitors in Dell's premium UltraSharp lineup include the WQHD U3421WE in 34-inch, the 4K UP3221Q with mini-LED in 32-inch, and the FHD+ U2421E and FHD U2421HE in 24-inch.

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from rtings have found:

The Dell UltraSharp U2721DE has wide viewing angles, great screen real estate, and low input lag. It has good reflection handling and good peak brightness, so glare shouldn't be an issue in a bright room. Like most IPS monitors, it has a low contrast ratio, so it's not as good for watching videos or playing games in a dark room. It doesn't support any advanced gaming features, like a variable refresh rate.

Pros

Excellent ergonomics
Wide viewing angles
Good reflection handling
Great connectivity options

Cons

Low contrast ratio
No dedicated gaming features
Mediocre response time
