Reviewer score 45%The Dell S2721D is well-suited for work thanks to its large screen and high resolution. It provides a good gaming experience with its low input lag and decent response time. It delivers good picture quality, but its low contrast ratio makes it less ideal for dark room viewing, and it doesn't support HDR.

Reviewer score 72%The Dell S2721D has a 27-inch 1440p screen that hits 99% of the sRGB color gamut. Built-in speakers provide limited audio clarity and don't get very loud. Not supporting high dynamic range (HDR) is also disappointing, but not terribly surprising in such an affordable display.

Pros
- 75Hz refresh rate
- High-quality IPS panel
- Easy to set up
Cons
- Sub-par speakers
- No USB connectivity
