Rank #3 in Best 4K Monitor 2026: Nine Ranked, and Two Listings That Contradict Themselves
Dell 27 Plus S2725QS 4K IPS Monitor, 120Hz
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Dell 27 Plus S2725QS is the third monitor in this guide, listed at £241.90 with a 4.5-star average from 355 ratings. It is a 27-inch 4K UHD panel — 3840 x 2160 — running at 120 Hz on an IPS panel, with the 4 ms response time appearing in the product name rather than in any specification row.
The finding on this one is that its numbers mostly line up. The bullets say 1500:1 and the contrast row says 1,500:1; the bullets say 120 Hz and the refresh rate row says 120 hertz; the bullets claim 99% sRGB and the colour gamut row says 99.0. That is not true of every listing in this guide. What does not line up is smaller. The display type and display technology rows both read LED, while the product name and the bullets say IPS. The hardware connectivity row lists Ethernet alongside DisplayPort and HDMI, yet the network connectivity row names only DisplayPort and HDMI, and no bullet mentions a network port. The rating breakdown in the listing adds up to 100 rather than to 355, so it reads as a percentage split. And the 4 ms in the product name has no matching row in the specification table, which gives no response time at all. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this monitor; we have not tested it ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really lovely monitor, super crisp and bright. Really nice smooth mechanism to lower and raise the screen. I'm needed a hybrid screen for gaming and for 3d modelling/rendering work and this fits the bill perfectly.”
Verified purchase“I am must say I am really impressed with my monitor. Delivered in original box and well packed inside. I set up all by myself (I am a woman) - really intuitive and easy to install all even without manual/instruction. Really elegant modern design (I have white light grey design, almost white), great screen - my eyes love it to work with. Cable on the back are hidden. Received 2 years warranty. Good menu to set up to your need. So far so good! Thank you!”
