Dell Dell P2722H 27" 1920 x 1080 Full HD IPS, Review

This monitor is an ergonomic powerhouse, scoring in the 97th percentile for adjustability with a stand that tilts, swivels, pivots, and adjusts height. You get that and a decent 1080p IPS panel for around $230. Just know the 27-inch screen at 1080p isn't super sharp, and the 60Hz refresh rate is strictly for work, not play.

The Dell P2722H is a 27-inch office monitor that makes a strong case for itself with one standout feature: its ergonomics. It lands in the 97th percentile for adjustability, meaning you can tilt, swivel, pivot, and adjust its height a full 150mm to find the perfect viewing angle. That's a huge win for comfort during long workdays. On the panel side, you're getting a basic 1080p IPS screen running at 60Hz. It's not built for speed or ultra-sharp detail, but it covers 99% of the sRGB color space and hits 300 nits brightness, which is perfectly fine for spreadsheets, documents, and web browsing.

Let's be clear: you don't buy this monitor for raw performance. Its 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time put it in the 21st percentile for performance in our database. That means it's slower than nearly 80% of the monitors we track. For office work, that's fine. You won't notice any lag while typing emails. Where this screen does perform is in color consistency, thanks to its IPS panel. It scores in the 76th percentile for color accuracy, so colors look uniform from wide viewing angles, which is great for sharing your screen with a colleague. Just don't expect the pixel density of a 4K screen on this 27-inch 1080p panel.

Priced between $209 and $264, the P2722H is all about buying a great stand and a decent panel. You're paying a premium over basic 27-inch 1080p monitors for that exceptional 97th percentile ergonomics and the 86th percentile connectivity with the USB hub. If you never adjust your monitor height, you can find cheaper options. But if you value a pain-free, customizable setup and want to avoid buying a third-party VESA arm, this Dell's bundled stand justifies the price.

Compared to its flashier competitors, the P2722H carves out a specific niche. The Samsung Odyssey G9 or MSI's 4K 240Hz beasts are in a different universe for gaming performance. Even Dell's own UltraSharp 27" 4K monitor offers vastly sharper text for creative work. The real comparison is against other office-focused 27-inch IPS monitors, like an LG 27BN55U. The Dell wins decisively on ergonomics (most competitors offer only tilt) and its built-in USB hub. You trade some pixel sharpness (1080p vs. 1440p models) for that top-tier adjustability. It's a trade-off for long-term comfort over immediate visual pop.

Gamers, video editors, and pixel-peepers should look elsewhere. The 21st percentile performance score and 55th percentile display score are your red flags. If you need high refresh rates for smooth gameplay, a higher resolution for detailed creative work, or just crave the sharpest text possible, this monitor's strengths won't matter to you. Its weak areas are your core needs.

We recommend the Dell P2722H if your top priority is ergonomic comfort for 8+ hour workdays and you want a clean, reliable setup straight out of the box. The data is clear: its adjustability is elite. But we can't recommend it if you're sensitive to screen sharpness, want to do any gaming, or need a monitor for detailed photo/video editing. Its performance and display scores are just too middling for those uses. It's a specialist, and a very good one at its specific job.
