Our Verdict

Dell U2725QE

Dell S2725QC

The Dell U2725QE is higher-end than the Dell S2725QC and comes with extra features. The biggest difference between them is that the U2725QE has a bigger USB hub that includes a KVM switch and Thunderbolt support, which the S2725QC doesn't have. The U2725QE also has an IPS Black panel for deeper blacks, but it has limited picture quality in HDR anyway because of its terrible local dimming. The U2725QE also gets brighter, but you may prefer the S2725QC in a bright room because reflected light doesn't have a pink tint like the U2725QE.
