Our Verdict

Dell S2722QC

Samsung Smart Monitor M80B S32BM80

The Samsung Smart Monitor M80B S32BM80 and the Dell S2722QC are different types of 4k displays. The Samsung has a built-in smart interface that makes it easy to stream your favorite content without a PC. It also performs better in dark rooms thanks to its higher contrast. However, the Dell is an office monitor with many more inputs, including USB-A ports, making it easy to connect multiple devices and your mouse and keyboard.
