Our Verdict

Dell S2722QC

Dell U2723QE

The Dell S2722QC and the Dell U2723QE are both good overall 4k monitors. The picture quality is similar between both, except the U2723QE has much better out-of-the-box accuracy and higher contrast and displays a wider range of colors in HDR. The U2723QE also has more inputs, like a DisplayPort output that you can use for daisy chaining and multiple USB-C ports. However, the S2722QC is slightly more versatile for gaming because it supports VRR.
