I decided to upgrade my 24-inch to this 27-inch monitor for my PC. Based on the price alone, this monitor provides great value and features I wouldn’t expect. First, the size is great whether I am working on spreadsheets or gaming through Xbox game pass. I personally use the ‘cloud’ feature and their max screen resolution is currently set at 1080p, so I was fine with this monitor being only 1920x1080. The picture quality looks just fine to me. I tested out a few nature YouTube videos and they look vibrant and colorful. The bonus feature of this monitor are the built-in speakers. I was not expecting them to sound so good. I have always used external left/right speakers on my PC, but I no longer need them. I did a comprehensive side by side of my standalone speakers versus the built-in speakers on the monitor. I was surprised by the quality, base, and detail I was able to hear with the Dell speakers. I will be using the monitor speakers as my go-to from now on. I only wish it had a headphone jack since I still use plug-in headphones when I am gaming and don’t want to disturb the family. Overall, I would easily recommend this to anyone needing a budget monitor with great features that you may not expect at this price point.

The monitor is quite nice to look at with a white stand and back. It makes my desk feel brighter and sunnier. The front of the screen has a black bezel, which I didn’t even find noticeable, but I wonder how using it would be with a white frame on the screen. The stand for this monitor only has front to back tilt, but there is another model for about $10 more that offers more adjustment flexibility. The rear panel also has VESA mount capability, so it went onto my monitor mount with no sweat. One wish I would have would be the inclusion of color matched cables to keep the clean look, but black cables will have to do. Connectivity is HDMI only. There are 2 HDMI ports in the standard spot on the back, and at 1080p/100Hz, there is no penalty for using HDMI over DP. I had no problems connecting to my laptop, gaming desktop, or the cable box. The HDMI connection also carries audio, and the S2725h has speakers built in! The back of the screen has the power button on the bottom right corner, very easy to find. Adjustments to monitor and picture settings are accessed via the excellent 5-way intuitive button on the back. The picture is as clean and sharp as I would expect an IPS panel to be. Dark blacks, bright whites, and vivid color is all there. I found that darker details, say in space movies or spooky video games, were not particularly well defined. I think the 27” screen size is good if you are going to be gaming a lot with this Dell, but not so great working with text heavy work. The 1080p resolution means that text and some images can appear blocky with jagged edges. This isn’t a mark against the monitor at all, just the nature of 27” FHD monitors. The 100Hz refresh rate is quite nice, but it does not make this a good choice for very fast paced gaming, as the picture does not quite keep up with the action. Casual games look great on here, Civilization VII, Minecraft, and Star Trek Online play well on this panel. As with every Dell monitor I’ve ever owned, I look forward to years of trouble free service! Recommended.

For most of us, work from home full time is a thing of the past. We still get a day or 2 per week and of course when we are not in the office due to illness so a quality home monitor is a necessity I chose Dell since it is a long standing name that I can trust and the display looked appealing. The price too was in line with the lesser known brands (or unknown ones) Getting it home and unboxing was not dramatic. Packaging was sufficient to protect and not excessive to frustrate The monitor itself is actually appealing to look at. They advertise “Japanese sand casting” and it actually looks good. Not a gimmick Hooking it up is simple even for the electronic challenged. A HDMI and power cord My laptop recognized it immediately and performed a few updates First off, the color and richness of the screen surprised me. Either the one this replaced was not as good or just didn’t age gracefully, the color was much “cleaner” if that makes sense I tried out the speakers and I can see why we no longer need external ones. These sounded great Lastly, I messed with the blue light filter and found that it really made a difference. This will be a help later in the day Overall I could not be happier with this purchase

I've had prior Dell displays, and I cannot remember one that has failed. I will upgrade for the size of the screen or for connectivity aspects. Installation for this monitor was near blindfold easy. There are two HDMI hook ups. There are two small panels that cloak some of these connections but give a nice smooth appearance to the white back. As I have not had a Dell monitor like this, I do not know how long the white will remain white instead of yellowing. I used this monitor as a second screen to a laptop and the laptop detected and adjusted for this display though I did have to change one setting from displaying 150% to 100% to increase what was seen on the display. Other than this, the overall performance was about as good as I could expect for the price that this cost. Viewed in conjunction with the Dell quality, this monitor should give many years of service for the average user. Viewing angles were good viewing movies and animations looked good as well with no dead pixels.

Just got it and absolutely love. Super easy to set up and runs like a beauty. 10/10.

It works exactly as I hoped and does it's job well.
