Overview
A jump from 1080p to 1440p sits at the heart of the Dell SE2725HM vs Dell P2725DE decision, and it comes with a docking port. Both are 27-inch IPS panels at 100 Hz, but the SE2725HM runs 1920 x 1080 at 81 ppi with 250 nits, one HDMI 1.4 and D-sub, while the P2725DE delivers 2560 x 1440 at 108 ppi, 350 nits, 1500:1 contrast and 99% sRGB. Its 90 W USB-C, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and three USB-A ports turn it into a one-cable hub, and the stand adjusts 150 mm with swivel and pivot. The SE2725HM only tilts.

Verdict
Bottom line
