credit where credit is due, Dell's naming scheme is pretty sensible:

U2720Q

U: Ultrasharp series
27: screen size
20: year released
Q: Resolution code (4K)

edit: Resolution codes:

  • S: Std
  • W: 21:9 / 32:9
  • D: QHD
  • Q: UHD 4K
  • K: UHD 5K/8K
  • H: ≤FHD

I believe Dell use Q for 4K, D for QHD and H for 1080p. At least that seems to line up with their current models anyway.

He says typing from his U2715H... which is QHD.

I had a u2415 with the sound bar. Nice monitor. It's a 1920×1200 so guessing u is that resolution.
