Our Verdict
Dell U4025QW
Dell U2725QE
The Dell U4025QW and the Dell U2725QE are premium office monitors. Both have very similar features, such as a 120Hz refresh with VRR support, and many connectivity options. The U2725QE is a better choice in a bright room, as it's much better at overcoming glare. However, if you want an extremely large screen the U4025QW is a better option due to its larger size.
