Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx
Dell U2725QE
The Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx and the Dell U2725QE are 27-inch 4k monitors. The Acer is the better option if you plan to view or edit HDR content or play games, as it has far better HDR performance and motion handling, while still being excellent for office work. It also gets much brighter. If you plan to only use the monitor for office work, you may prefer the Dell, as it has better connectivity and a KVM switch.
