27” lifestyle-inspired 4K UHD monitors that supports HDR content playback for an amazing entertainment experience.

tom's Hardware

The Dell S2721QS earns the title of best 27-inch budget 4K monitor with a bright screen, reliably accurate image, and useful add-ons. Those bonus add-ons include the ability to connect multiple PCs and view them simultaneously via picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture and an optional app that makes it easy to calibrate the screen or arrange up to 6 windows in various preset layouts. The latter is a productivity boon.
HDR isn&rsquo;t this monitor&rsquo;s strong suit. We recorded undersaturated color in this mode, as well as visible grayscale errors. And this monitor doesn&rsquo;t have the speed or Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync or G-Sync) to make it an appropriate gaming screen.
But in terms of image quality, this is a bright screen, hitting 393 nits in our testing, along with solid contrast for an IPS monitor (1,101:1). You can also expect accurate colors. We recorded just a 2.6dE error with sRGB color.
For a 27-incher with greater port selection, see our Philips Brilliance 279P1 review.

RTINGS

If you're looking for the best 27-inch monitor and are on a budget, consider the Dell S2721QS. Despite being a lower-end model from the Dell S2722QC and maintaining the high 4k resolution, it still costs less than the Gigabyte M27Q, making it a good budget choice if you need something for productivity. However, there are a few features you have to sacrifice for getting a cheaper model, as this one doesn't have any USB ports like on the Gigabyte or the S2722QC, meaning it's a rather basic monitor that provides a high resolution with fantastic text clarity.

If you don't need all the extra features of the more expensive options, you'll still be happy with this monitor, particularly with work use. Its wide viewing angles ensure the image remains accurate from the sides, and with impressive ergonomics, it's easy to adjust to an ideal viewing position. It also gets bright enough to fight glare and has good reflection handling, making it a good choice for well-lit rooms.

If you want something on a budget, there are a few great options for the office that won't cost you much. The Dell S2721QS is one of those monitors as it's a low-cost 4k display that's a step down from the Dell S2722QC in terms of features but still offers excellent office performance. Not many 4k monitors are available at a budget price like this one; the advantage of getting a 4k display over other budget 1440p monitors is that you get much sharper text due to the increased pixel density.

This monitor is barebones in terms of features compared to the S2722QC, as it doesn't have a USB hub, but that's the trade-off you have to make for getting something cheaper. Still, it has the same great SDR peak brightness and very good reflection handling, making it a great choice for use in well-lit rooms. It's also well-built with impressive ergonomics, so you can easily adjust it. If you want something bigger, the Dell S3221QS is a similar monitor with a larger 32-inch screen, but it has worse viewing angles and doesn't get as bright, so the S2721QS is better overall.

If you're looking for the best budget 4k monitor, they're becoming more accessible, and you can still find 4k displays for a cheaper cost. Most of the monitors in this price range are basic 4k displays geared toward office use and are meant for people who want the extra text clarity of a 4k monitor. That's the case with the Dell S2721QS, which is a simplified version of the Dell S2722QC that costs less. You don't get any USB ports, which is disappointing if you want to connect a laptop that doesn't have an HDMI port, but that's normal in this price range.

Despite the lack of extra features, the picture quality is very good and similar to the S2722QC. It has the same great peak brightness and good reflection handling, and while it doesn't have a dedicated sRGB mode either, the accuracy before calibration is still decent. It's well-built and features the same ergonomic stand as the S2722QC, so choosing one over the other comes down to if you need the USB hub or simply want to save some money.

If you're looking for the best monitor for watching movies on a budget, then look into the Dell S2721QS. It's a smaller display than the Dell S3221QS and has a different panel type with a few differences, but considering it's a low-cost 4k display that's good for media consumption, it provides good value for its cost. It has lower contrast than the S3221QS, so it doesn't look as good in dark rooms because blacks look gray, but that's the trade-off of getting a cheaper monitor. Instead, it has wider viewing angles and impressive ergonomics, making it a great choice for viewing content with your friends.

While it displays a wide range of colors in HDR and has okay HDR brightness, it doesn't deliver a satisfying HDR experience as highlights don't pop, but that's normal for a budget-friendly display. In SDR, it has a fantastic color gamut with decent accuracy before calibration, so you won't need to calibrate it unless you want the most accurate colors possible.

If you're on a budget and want something that won't break the bank for gaming on the Xbox One X, then look into the Dell S2721QS. By looking for budget-friendly displays, you won't get the same gaming features on higher-end models, like the fast refresh rate, but since that's targeted more at PC gamers, you don't need that for console gaming anyways. This monitor has a lower 60Hz refresh rate, so you can only play games up to 60 fps compared to the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ, but the main advantage is that it has a high 4k resolution. It allows you to play games with sharp images and see more detail than on lower-resolution displays.

Although this monitor isn't designed for gaming, it still offers decent gaming performance with low input lag for a responsive feel and an okay response time that makes fast-moving objects look decent, but there's still some blur trail. It also has FreeSync VRR support to reduce screen tearing which works with the Xbox.

If you're on a budget and need something simple, look into the Dell S2721QS. While it has the same 4k resolution and nearly the same screen size as the Gigabyte M28U, it's more of a basic monitor meant for people who just want a high-resolution screen for work. It looks great in a bright room thanks to its high peak brightness and very good reflection handling, so you don't have to worry about glare in a bright room. It also has great ergonomics and wide viewing angles, so you can easily place it in an ideal viewing position or share your screen with someone else.

It has decent accuracy before calibration and an outstanding SDR color gamut, so it's also a good choice for content creators working on a budget. However, as it's a budget-friendly display, it's limited in features because it doesn't have a USB hub like the Gigabyte, so if you want that, you'll have to spend more with the Dell S2722QC, or you'll have to get a 1440p budget monitor like the Gigabyte M27Q. Still, if you don't need those extra features, you'll be happy with the sharp text that this monitor delivers.

Most 4k gaming monitors tend to cost more than regular 4k monitors, so if you want one, you'll have to be prepared to spend some money. However, if you're on a tight budget and want a basic 4k monitor for console gaming, you can get something like the Dell S2721QS. Although it's designed for the office, it still provides decent gaming performance at a low cost, and it's good enough for playing 4k games up to 60 fps from the PS5 or Xbox Series X. However, because it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, you can't take full advantage of the consoles, so you'll need to spend more on the Gigabyte M28U if you want that.

As expected for a basic office-oriented monitor, its motion handling isn't special, but it's still okay, and there isn't too much blur behind fast-moving objects. It has low input lag for a responsive feel while gaming, and it's lower than 4k TVs, an advantage of gaming on a monitor. It even has VRR support that works with the Xbox but not with the PS5 because the PS5 requires HDMI Forum VRR support.

The best budget monitor we've tested is the Dell S2721QS. It's mainly designed to be an office monitor and provides excellent office performance, especially for its price. It's uncommon to find a 4k monitor at a budget-friendly price, which is why the S2721QS is a good choice, as you get a high resolution for a low cost. The 4k resolution helps result in sharp text, which makes it ideal for productivity as you won't have any issues reading text, and the 27-inch screen is big enough to open two windows side-by-side. Despite its budget price, it's a well-built monitor with impressive ergonomics, making it easy to place in an ideal position.

It's a good choice to use in a well-lit room thanks to its high SDR peak brightness and very good reflection handling, meaning you won't have any issues with visibility. It also has wide viewing angles that make the image remain consistent from the sides. There are a few downsides, though, as it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, so it isn't the best for PC gaming. All said and done, get this option if you need a 4k monitor for work.

If you want something on a budget, there are plenty of good options available, although you might not get the same features and inputs as higher-end monitors. If that's the case, the Dell S2721QS is a great choice because it offers excellent office performance, thin bezels, and impressive ergonomics, as you can easily adjust the screen. There are a few differences between this and the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV as it's a 4k monitor delivering sharper text, but it doesn't have the extra features like a USB hub with a DisplayPort output. You need to connect your PC directly to both monitors or use another monitor that supports daisy chaining if you want to use this in a multi-monitor setup.

Like the ASUS, it also gets bright enough to fight glare, the reflection handling is good, and it has wide viewing angles that make it ideal for sharing your screen with someone else. It doesn't have the same color accuracy as the ASUS, but it's still decent if your work doesn't require perfectly accurate colors. If you prefer something with more accurate colors, consider the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV, which has amazing accuracy but has a lower 1440p resolution.

For movies bigger is better, and higher resolution is better... I won’t stick to a 27” if I were you

LG 27GN950-B will get you higher refresh rate but costs more. This will be better than your current monitor 

So I got my first custom pc set up, and want to get a 2nd display for my wife to watch movies by my side. But couldn't find much infos on just which Display to get. I would prefer it to be an Asus one as my primary display is Asus vg27aq, which is a 1440p 144z display. I kinda like them to be the same in terms of aesthetic? 

I have read that getting dual monitors with different resolution and refresh rate will be a pain in the ass to get it working properly for simultaneous gaming on 1 and watching media on the other, is it still true currently?



Here are a few things I look for in the 2nd monitor 

• prefer VA panel, as it's best for multimedia consumption?


• 1440P? but I may settle with 1080 if the quality is not much off from 1440 for Netflix and such. I read that native 1080p monitor is actually better for videos? Is this true ?


• 60hz is all I need, as bumping it up will make it more pricey 


• Would prefer Asus monitor as it will look the same next to the vg27aq I have now. 


There are only 2 models in found online, which is the Asus vg278q, but this is an ips panel with 1080p and 144hz. The other is Asus va27ehe which is also an ips panel with 1080p but 75hz. Both in terms of aesthetic, they both look very close to my current vg27aq, but specs wise not what I would like. 

Any recommendations? For reference I have a 3070 card. Thanks.

Having a hard time finding 2nd monitor

* Asus  PA278QV (also too big and bit expensive but for now probably I would go  with this one and try to come up with something to fit it on my desk)   

* Gigabyte M27Q (too big and has problems with vertical scan lines with low refresh rates)

It  doesn't need to be high refresh, 60hz is enough, but it needs to have  low input lag becouse I mostly play single-player non-competitive games,  only sometimes I play osu but I'm not a pro so I don't need gaming  monitor. My budget is up to $350. I have considered those monitors:

I have found toggling the refresh rate in the display settings from 60hz to variable 40-60 and back fixes it instantly.

Hi there!

I'm new to the mac environment, bought it to replace my old lenovo. Got one Dell screen with it, plugged via USB-C.

I work on a computer around 8 hours a day and need a second screen.

Screen details: Dell 27" 4K USB-C Monitor - S2722QC

After some time (around 4 hours) that screen begins to flicker (not too much but to the point that it is really hard to look at).

What's weird is that this flickering goes on even if I unplug my mac. I think that screen has a hardware issue, but I'd like to know if any of you had that kind of issue before.

I want to return the screen but not sure if they will accept it (warranty wise) because it takes some time before starting to flicker

Any advice about my issue??

Thanks in advance :)

Mac M1 2020 + Dell screen flickers after some time

 Mine also has a physical defect and I was planning on returning it. Customer service was horrible to deal with.

Trying to pick any of these monitors for photography/film work with a decent black uniformity, contrast ratio and color accuracy. Am I looking at the right monitors?

  FYI: Although @DellCares was super-fast in asking for information, they never did respond at all once I'd provided it. If customer service is important to you, you may want to look at a different manufacturer for your next display.

Doesn't work with docking station

 Viewing angle is very important to prevent fatigue. He has been using it for a month or so now and he absolutely loves it. He says he can set it up as two separate screen when using his laptop. I actually didn't think the Mac laptops did that

Great Extra Screen for MacBook Air

Great display and nice design. My 13” laptop fits under it without covering the display. No need for a stand.

Ideal secondary display for a laptop.

The best budget office monitor we've tested is the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV. It's an older version of the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV without a USB-C input, which explains its more budget-friendly price. It also has a 27 inch screen with a 1440p resolution and 75Hz refresh rate. The viewing angles are great, which means the image remains accurate when viewed from the side, and it gets more than bright enough to combat glare, even in well-lit settings.

If you often struggle to get a comfortable viewing position, the good news is that the ergonomics are superb. You can adjust the height, tilt, and swivel and rotate the screen to portrait mode. Text clarity is decent, and color accuracy is good out of the box. Unfortunately, although designed for content creators, it doesn't have full sRGB coverage, which is somewhat disappointing.

There's no USB-C input, but you still get four USB 3.0 ports and a USB-B upstream port, meaning you can plug your peripherals or dongles directly into the monitor. Lastly, it has a great response time and low input lag if you want to play some games on the side. If you can spend a bit more and can find one, it's better to go with the newer version, but this is still a good alternative if you're on a tighter budget.

The ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV is the best budget 1440p office monitor that we've tested. It's a great office monitor designed for media creation. It has an excellent SDR color gamut, with nearly complete coverage of the sRGB color space used by most desktop and web content. It also has very good color accuracy out of the box and excellent gradient handling, so it's a great choice for work that requires accurate colors.

Unlike the Gigabyte M27Q, it uses a standard RGB subpixel layout, so there are no issues with text or color fringing with apps that don't support ClearType. As expected for a budget monitor, it's a pretty basic display with few additional features. There are some unique overlays, including built-in screen rulers and A5/B5 letter-size overlays.

Unfortunately, it's not a great choice for dark rooms, as it has low contrast and mediocre black uniformity, so blacks look gray and cloudy in a dark room. It's a great choice for bright rooms, with impressive peak brightness and very good reflection handling, and it's a great monitor overall for most uses.

If you prefer something with better ergonomics, look into the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV. It doesn't have as many features as the Gigabyte M27Q as it lacks HDR support and doesn't have a USB-C input, but the stand has a wide swivel range, and it can rotate into portrait mode, making this monitor a great choice if you need a vertical display. It performs well in bright rooms because it has great peak brightness and good reflection handling, meaning visibility won't be an issue. It also has very good out-of-the-box accuracy, and it has near-perfect coverage of the sRGB color space, but photo editors will be disappointed to know it has limited coverage of the Adobe RGB color space used in photo editing.

If you're looking for the best 1440p budget monitor, whether it be for office or gaming, the Gigabyte is a great choice. However, if you don't mind getting something with a lower 75Hz refresh that has remarkable ergonomics for office use, then check out the ASUS.

The best secondary monitor we've tested in the budget category is the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV. It's a 27 inch model with a 1440p resolution and a 75Hz refresh rate. It means you get plenty of room for multitasking, text looks sharp, and the monitor feels more responsive than a typical 60Hz display. It has wide viewing angles that make it great for sharing content, and it gets bright enough to provide good visibility in well-lit settings.

It has quite a few extra features. There's a USB hub with four USB 3.0 ports and a USB-B upstream port, which means you can plug your peripherals or dongles into the monitor and have only a single USB cable leading to your PC, giving you extra ports and keeping your setup clean. It also has built-in speakers and a Virtual Scale feature that lets you preview documents in their actual sizes before printing.

Like most IPS panels, it isn't ideal for dark rooms because it has a mediocre contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray. Also, it doesn't cover the entire sRGB color space even though it's made for content creators, and it has limited Adobe RGB coverage. On the bright side, its response time is good enough for some light gaming on the side, and its ergonomics are superb. Overall, it's a great budget-friendly monitor that should please most people.

There are plenty of budget-friendly 1440p monitors that you can get and offer good overall performance, like the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV. It's a step down from the LG 32GP850-B in terms of gaming performance because it has a lower 75Hz refresh rate and isn't designed for gaming, but that's normal for low-cost monitors, and instead, this monitor is great for office use and also good for content creators. It delivers excellent color accuracy thanks to its sRGB picture mode, so colors aren't oversaturated, and it also has an excellent SDR color gamut. Sadly, it doesn't support HDR, which is disappointing if you need to edit videos in HDR.

Despite its low cost, it's still well-built with outstanding ergonomics as you can easily adjust the screen, including rotating it into portrait mode in either direction. Its SDR peak brightness is great, and it has good reflection handling, so visibility isn't a problem in well-lit office spaces or rooms. While it has a few extra features, like four USB ports, it doesn't have a USB-C slot. If you want that, you'll have to pay more for a very similar model, the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV.

If you need to buy a monitor on a budget for your Mac Mini, there are a few displays you can get, although you'll have to give up a few features found on more expensive options. If that interests you, the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV is a great choice as it delivers impressive office performance. It doesn't have USB-C ports like the Dell U2723QE or the Dell S2722QC, so you have to connect with it via HDMI or a USB-C adapter. There aren't any display issues with it when connected to a macOS device, except when the device goes to sleep, as you need to disconnect and reconnect it. If you're using a Mac Mini, it's better to disable the sleep settings with this monitor.
