What reviewers say
RTINGS and Guide de la Gestion des Couleurs praised the U2721DE's flexible stand and extensive ports for desk work. RTINGS found wide viewing angles but limited contrast and gaming performance; Guide de la Gestion des Couleurs liked its factory colour balance but found only average brightness uniformity and a limited wide-colour gamut.
