Dell's $719.99 UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Monitor (U2720Q) is a 27-inch productivity monitor with UHD resolution, solid color accuracy, and a full set of ergonomic controls. It offers the performance and features of a high-end business monitor geared to workers involved in color-critical tasks such as processing photos for upload. The U2720Q lies between basic 27-inch 4K displays and professional models geared to graphic-arts studios. In some ways, it's akin to the Editors' Choice Dell UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor (UP2720Q). Both feature UHD resolution, as well as a similar design and feature set, and both emphasize color accuracy. Think of the U2720Q as a productivity monitor for employees who need to work with photos and graphics now and then; the UP2720Q is a true professional monitor that includes a built-in calibration tool, which boosts its price considerably. The U2720Q is its "lite" alternative.Easy Port Access and Power Delivery A 27-inch flat IPS panel, the U2720Q packs in ...

On the pricey side

Bought to use with an M1 MacBook Pro so had some lingering compatibility concerns. No need, everything worked straight off the bat - plug USB-C cable into laptop and go. Without opening the lid. Yes, it is charging. Get one of these instead of a docking station :)

I've been using this monitor for a couple weeks with a Dell XPS 15 running Linux, it replaces a Dell P2415Q. My main use is software development work - lots of text - and it's in a room with a window that occasionally lets in a fair bit of light. This monitor provides a much better viewing experience than the P2415Q - it seems sharper despite the pixel density being very slightly lower, has better contrast, is more resistant to glare, and has a nice thin bezel. The monitor has a 100x100 VESA mount. As a docking station, it is very nice to just have the one USB-C connection between the laptop and desk for power, display, and USB. This...view more

if you are into photo editing or just general working with spreadsheets, this is the right tool for you. DCI-P3 colour space is excellent for photos and the 4k screen gives you good screen real estate to work with spreadsheets etc. Would definitely grab a second one if it goes on sale.

Text looks great on this in macOS. macOS does native HiDpi scaling - I dial this down one tick so that it has the equivalent real estate of 2560x1440 (the default is 1920x1080). You can of course run it with no scaling but everything is too small for me in that mode. I'm a programmer and terminal and VSCode look great on this! The USB-C charging works without complaint on my 13" MBP. It could stand to have more USB ports - 2 USB-A on the rear and a USB-A and USB-C on the side is good, but more would be preferable. Once you hook up webcam, DAC, yubikey, and a USB ethernet adapter you're maxed out. All in all this is great. It is a little...view more

Using with an M1 Mac the USB bits sometimes need you to power cycle the monitor to work. The internal hub is USB2 (ie 480Mbit/sec) so you might not want to chain a NAS or an eGPU or whatever. Other than that we're all good - single cable into the Mac, lid shut, charging at 90w.

Dell wins its award for all-round quality matched with the many benefits of USB-C, even if it doesn’t wow
