Our Verdict
Dell U2723QE
Dell U3225QE
The Dell U2723QE and the Dell U3225QE are both UltraSharp productivity monitors. The U3225QE is the better monitor if you can afford it, as it overcomes bright glare much better, displays a wider range of colors, feels more responsive even for office use, and has far better connectivity options. However, the U2723QE is much more affordable, and you may prefer it if you like a smaller monitor.
