Dell S2725QS
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Acer 24-inch FHD IPS monitor delivers a smooth 120 Hz experience with HDR10 and FreeSync Premium, plus a highly adjustable ergonomic stand. Its modest brightness, limited connectivity and low-power speakers keep it from being a premium offering. Ideal for budget-conscious gamers and office users who value smooth motion and flexibility.
The Dell S2725QS is a 27-inch 4K IPS monitor offering vibrant 99% sRGB colors, 120 Hz refresh and HDMI 2.1 for smooth gaming and content creation. Its modest 1500:1 contrast and lack of a USB hub reduce HDR performance and connectivity convenience. Best suited for productivity users and casual gamers who value color accuracy and high refresh rates.

Professional reviewers commend the Dell S2725QS for its aggressive price, bright 4K panel, 99% sRGB coverage and 9.8/10 post-calibration accuracy, noting the 120 Hz refresh and HDMI 2.1 as solid gaming upgrades. However, they criticize its modest contrast, lack of local dimming, HDR weakness and slower pixel response compared with dedicated gaming IPS panels, and point out the missing USB hub.
Everyday users echo the experts, praising the crisp 4K image, accurate colors out of the box and smoother 120 Hz gaming over older Dell models. Recurring complaints focus on gray-ish blacks in dark rooms, noticeable motion blur in fast games, and glare when the monitor is placed in bright lighting.
