Best 2025 Dell Monitors for port selection

#1 Dell U2725QE
5.0

An unusually expansive collection of USB, Thunderbolt, HDMI, DisplayPort and Ethernet connectors makes the screen a desk hub in its own right.

Pros: port selection, USB hub functionality

Cons: competitive gaming suitability, motion clarity

#2 Dell S2725DC
4.3

USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and DisplayPort cover most ordinary office connections, with an especially handy retractable pair. Very fast transfer speeds and dedicated audio outputs are not its strengths.

Pros: USB hub functionality, USB-C power delivery

Cons: speaker quality

#3 Dell Alienware AW2725Q
3.9

Port selection was generally adequate to good, but reviewers often framed it as trimmed versus pricier rivals.

Pros: value for money, sharpness

Cons: brightness, USB hub functionality

#4 Dell S2725QC
3.4

USB-C, two HDMI inputs and convenient downstream USB ports cover mainstream needs. Missing a normal DisplayPort jack, 3.5mm output, KVM and Thunderbolt limits more complex desks.

Pros: value for money, Resolution

Cons: port selection, competitive gaming suitability

#5 Dell Alienware AW3225DM
3.4

Two HDMI inputs, DisplayPort and a useful USB hub cover most gaming needs, but there is no dedicated audio passthrough and no KVM.

Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR performance, Headphone output quality

#6 Dell S3425DW
3.3

Two HDMI sockets and versatile USB-C connections serve modern desks well, but the absence of full-size DisplayPort is a meaningful restriction.

Pros: overall satisfaction, screen size

Cons: stand adjustability, Photo editing

#7 Dell Alienware AW3425DWM

Two HDMI inputs, DisplayPort and a small USB-A hub cover essential devices, but USB-C and audio output are missing.

Pros: ultrawide gaming experience, black levels

Cons: HDR performance, viewing angles

#8 Dell Alienware AW2725DM
3.0

Useful HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-A connections cover basic PC gaming, but absent USB-C and audio ports narrow its flexibility.

Pros: overall satisfaction, refresh rate

Cons: HDR performance, HDMI 2.1 support

#9 Dell P1425 Monitor
2.2

Two conveniently placed USB-C ports make laptop wiring tidy but provide no native HDMI input; compatibility is the recurring frustration.

Pros: brightness, portability and weight

Cons: value for money, port selection

#10 Dell S2725QS
1.7

Two HDMI ports and DisplayPort cover conventional hookups, but no USB-C, USB hub or headphone jack is a recurring inconvenience.

Pros: value for money, Resolution

Cons: port selection, HDR performance

#11 Dell S3225QC

The main recurring weakness is connectivity: one HDMI and one USB-C video input, no dedicated DisplayPort and few additional sockets.
