Size 27-in Ratio 16x9 Resolution 3840x2160 Brightness 350cd/m2 Contrast ratio 1300:1 SRGB gamut (claimed) 100%

Adobe RGB gamut (claimed) Unspecified

An attractively-priced panel compared to equivalent screens from the likes of Eizo and NEC on test, the Dell Ultrasharp U2720Q still packs a delightful full 4K UHD resolution, 10-bit colour depth and some neat additional features. And all of this comes inside a smart case with an ‘Infinityedge’ ultra-thin bezel.

There’s no preset Adobe RGB mode, but the standard viewing mode is accompanied by game, movie, custom colour and several additional presets, which include an HDR mode. The latter is helped by the excellent 1300:1 maximum contrast ratio – higher than many of its contemporaries on the market right now.

99% SRGB, 99% Rec. 709 and 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage are also massively impressive. Video ports include HDMI, Displayport, plus there’s a built-in USB 3.0 hub and 2x USB-C ports, one of which can supply up to 90w of power to an attached laptop.

PROS Good specs for the money; great port selection; high 1300:1 contrast ratio

CONS DCI-P3 coverage could be higher; screen could be a bit brighter
