How they stack up

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM

The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is the gaming-leaning pick of the lineup — its QD-OLED panel and 240Hz refresh rate outclass the IPS productivity-focused Dell UltraSharp U2725QE and U3225QE on motion clarity. It costs more than every other monitor here but pairs USB-C connectivity with gaming features none of the others offer.

Dell UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Hub Monitor (U2723QE)

The U2723QE offers the same USB-C hub + 90W power delivery story as the newer Dell UltraSharp U2725QE at lower MSRP, but loses to the U2725QE on IPS Black contrast and refresh rate. It undercuts the U3225QE and ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM on price while still hitting full 4K + USB-C, which makes it the budget-Dell pick in this lineup.
