Color gamut lands at 100 percent of sRGB, 86 percent of DCI-P3, and only 76 percent of AdobeRGB. These numbers are not impressive and mean the P2723QE won’t be a good choice for content creation beyond the sRGB color space.

See more on one screen: View content from two PC sources with Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbP). Designed with purpose: With a premium platinum silver finish and an elegant cable management system made to reduce clutter, it’s the monitor built to match any workspace. A computer monitor can be many things, but for most, it has a simple task: reliably, legibly, and comfortably display what a PC needs to display. This isn’t difficult, but it leans monitors towards traits different from a television or tablet. Jumpstart productivity: Simply press the monitor power button and the power sync feature seamlessly starts your monitor and connected Dell PC, even when the laptop lid is closed. Compatible with select Dell PCs . With stand (lowest position) - width: 61.14 cm - depth: 18.5 cm - height: 38.518 cm - weight: 6.64 kgTwo things jump out from the Dell P2723QE’s specifications: resolution and connectivity. 4K resolution is not unusual at this price, but it’s still nice to see in a 27-inch monitor. This is also a USB-C hub monitor with up to 90 watts of Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alternate Mode. That’s good news if you intend to connect a USB-C laptop. But enough with the numbers. For productivity, this display performed great. 4K resolution means I was able to fit three column-sized Microsoft Edge windows side by side by side on the panel using Windows 11’s Snap Layouts feature. It also means videos and Teams calls look crisp and clear. Connecting over USB-C enables four downstream USB-A ports that can be used to connect more wired peripherals. The monitor also has an Ethernet port, something that’s not found on most competing USB-C hub displays. That’s good news if you want the reliability of wired Internet on your work machine.

Third-party retailer data may not be based on actual sales. Ok, jokes aside – this monitor makes zero effort to enhance entertainment of any kind. It has a 60Hz refresh rate and does not support Adaptive Sync. Games do look good thanks to the monitor’s high resolution, decent contrast, and good color accuracy. Players of Civilization VI or Microsoft Flight Simulator will be happy. If you’re training for the path to pro in Valorant, however, move on. Conclusion

The key to convenience: Shortcut keys can save you even more time, letting you easily configure your display management settings so you can get to work faster. Measured color error came in at an average of 1.94. That’s a solid result and generally accurate enough to provide a lifelike image. Importantly, no specific color measured had an error beyond four – past that, I consider the error to be obvious even in day-to-day use. As for things outside of work, I hooked up my Xbox Series X via HDMI 2.0 port, I am happy to report that it fully supports 4K UHD resolution, at 60 Hz, but more on that later. I also used the HDMI connectivity with non-USB-C devices, like an older Chromebook. This shows how versatile the monitor is, as USB-C isn’t the only option. Ports: 1x HDMI 2.0, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 with DisplayPort Alternative Mode and Power Delivery, 4x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1x EthernetCompleteCover: Service is available for personal computers, Axim PDAs, Dell branded projectors and LCD TV.

All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. Expanded compatibility: With support for multiple operating systems , Dell Display Manager helps you can stay productive however you work.

Productive at every level: Easy Arrange allows you to easily tile multiple applications across one or more screens with 38 pre-set window partitions and the ability to personalise up to five windows, giving you improved multitasking abilities. Driven by data, run by a passionate team of engineers, testers, technical writers, developers, and more. In working from home, or dealing with the new hybrid work normals, a monitor that can do it all for you is a must. You’ll need something that looks sleek, is convenient to set up and use, but is also modern with a high screen resolution and speakers, and a microphone. This can help ensure that you can multitask and get your work done right.

Dell’s recent productivity monitors go for a compact, slim-bezel design. There’s only the slightest sliver of bezel along the top and sides and a small chin on the bottom. It’s so small, apparently, that there’s no room for a Dell logo, so that is moved to the stand. The key to convenience: Shortcut keys can save you even more time, letting you easily configure your display management settings so you can get to work faster. Multitask better: Connect to two PC sources and Auto KVM will seamlessly switch controls over to the second connected PC. Use KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) feature to control both PCs with a single mouse and keyboard.
