Our Verdict

Dell S3225QS

Dell S2725DC

The Dell S3225QS and the Dell S2725DC are both entry-level work monitors. The S3225QS has a bigger screen with a higher resolution, so text is sharper, and there's more space to multitask. The S3225QS also has a higher native contrast ratio for deeper blacks, and it supports HDR. On the other hand, the S2725DC has an IPS panel with a wider viewing angle, so the image looks more consistent no matter where you view it from. The S2725DC also has a higher refresh rate with better motion handling for PC gaming. Plus, the S2725DC has a USB hub to help quickly connect a laptop, which is something the S3225QS doesn't have.
