Overview
The Dell UP2720QA is a 27-inch IPS monitor with 3840 × 2160 resolution and colour coverage that suits creative work. It offers 163 ppi pixel density, 250 nits typical brightness, 1300:1 static contrast and 100% sRGB and 98% DCI-P3 coverage. The panel refreshes at 60 Hz and quotes 6 ms response. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4, Thunderbolt and 6× USB-A. The stand offers 130 mm of height adjustment, swivel and pivot. There are no speakers, and it weighs 9.71 kg with the stand. It suits colour-sensitive work such as photo and video editing. The main trade-off: capped at 60 Hz, so fast games will not feel as smooth.
