Experts were convinced that the wide color gamut, high PPI density, and good viewing angles of the Dell UltraSharp UP2720Q compensate for the lack of VRR support and poor black levels.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The 2020 Dell UltraSharp UP2720Q is a mid-tier 4K UHD display that is great for office use thanks to excellent color accuracy, impressive connectivity options, and superb ergonomics. The display has super-thin bezels that add to its stunning design, and at only 9.8 pounds, the display is light enough to move around compared to the Fiodio AF11F. The circular cut-out on its back allows good cable management; therefore owners won’t have wires scattered around the display. Its low input lag and super-fast response times make it suitable for casual gaming, and users who want to carry out photo editing and design work will also appreciate its wide color gamut. Read through the rest of this Dell UltraSharp UP2720Q review to see how it compares to the best-rated computer monitors available.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Dell UltraSharp UP2720Q is a great monitor for design professionals and casual gamers alike. It has a wide color gamut, built-in calibration features, high pixel density, and decent viewing angles. Unfortunately, it lacks local dimming, which affects its black levels, and doesn’t support Variable Refresh Rate, so pro gamers may want to look elsewhere.

Reason to Buy

Wide color gamut
Flicker-free backlight that reduces eye strain
Low input lag and fast response times (great for casual gaming)
Decent viewing angles

Reason to Avoid

Low 60Hz refresh rate with no VRR support
No local dimming
Not ideal for HDR content
Low contrast ratio
