Dell P2725QE 27" 4K USB-C Monitor: Full Rundown (2026)

The Dell Pro 27 Plus (P2725QE) is a 27-inch 4K business monitor built around a USB-C hub: one cable to your laptop carries video, data, wired Ethernet, and up to 90W of charging [1][2]. It runs at 100Hz — unusually quick for a 4K office monitor — and comes on a fully adjustable stand [1][2]. TechRadar's review lists it at $519.99 on Dell's site [1]. This page is based on manufacturer specifications and published professional reviews; we don't test monitors in-house.

Quick verdict

TechRadar called it "a serious choice for professionals" and concluded that the mix of 4K resolution, USB-C with Power Delivery, and an adaptable stand "makes it well worth the investment" for productivity-focused buyers [1]. The main knock is price [1]. Buy it if you dock a laptop every day and want to replace a separate dock and charger; skip it if your computer is a desktop tower, where the hub adds cost you won't use.

Full specs

What stands out

• True one-cable docking. TechRadar describes the built-in USB-C port with power delivery as "excellent for laptops, making it a one-cable solution," with the extra ports working as a hub for drives and accessories [1]. Up to 90W covers most 13–15" work laptops [1][2].
• Wired Ethernet in the monitor. The RJ45 port gives a docked laptop a wired connection with no extra adapter [1].
• 100Hz at 4K. Most 4K office monitors run at 60Hz; 100Hz makes scrolling and cursor movement smoother [1][2].
• A stand that adjusts properly. Height, tilt, swivel, and pivot to portrait [1].
• Anti-glare finish. TechRadar found it held up well under lamps and overhead lights, though direct light can still be annoying [1].

What to know before buying

• Price. TechRadar rated it four stars on price — "fairly expensive" [1]. The premium only pays off if you use the hub.
• Office color, not creative color. 99% sRGB [2] is right for documents and web work, but it isn't a wide-gamut panel. A German magazine test summarized by Testberichte also flagged sRGB-only coverage and the backlight as weak points [3].
• Check your laptop's wattage. 90W covers most business laptops; power-hungry 16" workstations may charge slowly under heavy load.
• Desktop users pay for features they won't use. If you connect a tower over DisplayPort, a hub-less 4K monitor such as the LG 27US500-W costs far less.

Who it's for

• Good fit: hybrid workers who dock a laptop daily; anyone replacing a separate dock and charger; people who spend long days at the screen and want a properly adjustable stand.
• Maybe: MacBook users with only two ports — TechRadar specifically called out the hub's value there [1].
• Skip it: desktop-only setups, and color-critical photo or video work.

FAQ

Does the Dell P2725QE charge laptops? Yes — up to 90W over its USB-C upstream port [1][2].

What refresh rate is the P2725QE? 100Hz at 3840×2160 [1][2].

Does it have an Ethernet port? Yes, RJ45, which a USB-C-connected laptop can use [1].

Is the P2725QE good for photo editing? It covers 99% sRGB [2], which suits light editing, but it isn't a wide-gamut creative display [3].

Bottom line

The P2725QE is a business monitor that earns its price through connectivity: 4K at 100Hz, a 90W USB-C hub with Ethernet, and a stand that fully adjusts. If you dock a laptop every day, it can replace your dock and charger. If you don't, a cheaper 4K panel makes more sense.
