Screen positioning is easy to adjust and there’s plenty of range.

Dell’s stellar reputation in the monitor game is not ill–deserved and, perhaps, ought to be even stronger than it is. The company consistently puts out market– leading panels at mostly affordable prices. The 27–inch P2720DC, as you might imagine, is no exception — and the screen itself is only part of a winning combination.

Take, for instance, the stand. Simple to attach out of the box, not overly distracting, and perfectly inconspicuous next to an iMac or above a MacBook, it’s a fabulous piece of engineering. It tilts, swivels, and rises up and down with a mechanically–compensated action that makes everything particularly easy — and if you want to go vertical you can rotate it with a fingertip.
