The Dell U2723QE is a 27-inch, 4k office monitor. It features an IPS Black panel that Dell claims delivers deeper blacks than regular IPS panels, and it has several extra features to improve your workflow. The USB hub has good connectivity with multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, allowing you to connect and control your devices with the same keyboard and mouse through the monitor's KVM switch. It supports DisplayPort Alt Mode with 90W of power delivery, and you can use it to daisy chain secondary monitors either over USB-C or DisplayPort.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The Dell U2723QE is a great 27-inch, 4k office monitor with several extra productivity features, including a KVM switch, DisplayPort Alt Mode, an Ethernet port, and daisy-chaining support. It's a great choice for work-from-home or hot-desking setups, and also gets bright enough to fight glare. However, if you won't use these extra features and you want a 4k monitor for less, you can look at a cheaper monitor like the Dell S2722QC instead.

The Dell U2723QE and the Dell U2725QE are both 4k 27-inch office monitors. The U2725QE is the better monitor for most people, as it has a higher refresh rate, has better connectivity, gets brighter, and displays a wider range of colors more vividly. However, if you don't need the extra features and performance, the U2723QE is an excellent option for office work if you can find it for less.
The Dell U2723QE is a newer version of the Dell UltraSharp U2720Q with a few more features. The U2723QE has a bigger USB hub with a KVM switch, allowing you to control two devices with the same keyboard and mouse. It also has Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes, which the U2720Q doesn't support, and it has daisy-chaining support, which you can't do with the U2720Q. The U2723QE also displays deeper blacks than the U2720Q, thanks to its IPS Black panel, but the contrast is still low.
The Dell U2723QE and the ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV are both 4k, 27-inch monitors aimed at content creators. They have many of the same features and similar performance, but they also have a few differences. The Dell uses a panel with IPS Black technology, resulting in a higher contrast than the ASUS and making it the better choice to edit content in a dark environment. On the other hand, the Dell has extra features, like a bigger USB hub and a KVM switch that makes it easy to multitask.
The Dell S2725QC and the Dell U2723QE are both 27-inch, 4k monitors, with the U2723QE being higher-end. The main advantage of getting the U2723QE is that it has a bigger USB hub with higher power delivery and a KVM switch, so it's the better choice for multitasking. The U2723QE also has the slight edge for picture quality because it displays a wider range of colors. However, the S2725QC has better gaming perks with a higher refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that's useful for gaming with modern graphics cards and consoles.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
