Dell UltraSharp U2723QE 27 4K UHD WLED LCD Monitor - 16:9 - Black, Silver

I spent a total of 3 1/2 hours yesterday talking with both Dell technical support and Apple Care. According to both manufacturers, the current Ventura, 13.2 operating system will not allow the Dell (and many others) connect via US B C. According to both, there is some safety feature that Apple put in their latest software to protect it from using other manufacturers USB-C monitors. In particular, Apple mentioned, Dell, LG, BenQ. So what’s the point in buying an expensive USB-C monitor when they have been disabled by Apple? If anyone knows how to make it work, please respond.

My main monitor has been an old 2K 144hz ASUS which I have always appreciated for gaming, but I needed more desktop space to work with video, graphics and general office work. I opted for a dual-display setup with a monitor more geared towards gaming and this Dell monitor for everything else. To these ends it has been exceptional - 4K estate with pleasant and accurate colors, adequate brightness (unless you really need HDR tonality) for daytime use and night use, and a good looking frame. When Im using it for video and document editing I am very pleased with it - except at night when even a fairly low lamp some twenty feet behind me casts a noticeable haze on the screen. For the most part I got over it, though my old ASUS is pitch black and matte and the difference is silly. Along with this there is a slight bleed of inconsistent light from the edges when I view the screen entirely black, but its not noticeable during general work. For video editing generally its more than adequate and probably about as good as the many options I had spent weeks looking at, but unlike some, text and general use looks fantastic, which I really appreciate with the amount of text I am looking at. As a side quirk, the quick menu joystick is uninspiring, offering easy presets between color spaces, but if I want to change brightness (such as from day to night time), it is cumbersome. This is not a gaming monitor, I will note, though I do not hold that too much against it because it is not the monitor I use for that. I was hopeful I could play RTS or city-management type games, that arent dependent on fast play-style, in 4K to at least see them gorgeously, but as soon as there is any movement, the ghosting is apparent and cumbersome and ruins the benefit of the resolution. I tried a few FPS games on it, and I will say I would not bother trying them further - though perhaps I am just used to faster refreshing screens now and that has limited a regular 60 hz appeal. But again, this is not a gaming monitor. For office use (despite the reflections) and video or visual editing (as long as you dont depend on HDR, which few monitors in this class will accurately represent), its hard to go wrong with this monitor, and it has managed those capacities much to my delight and productive ease. Despite the many other options I chose this over, I have no regrets and comfortably use it daily.

I really like the monitor although all the features on it might be a bit of overkill.

I actually purchased two of these monitors to use alongside my Apple MacBook pro M1 Max 14 notebook. To provide me with a single cable solution I also added a CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt Dock. I plug the computer into the dock with a single Thunderbolt 4 cable (included with the dock), and then plug each monitor into the TB4/USB-C ports on the back of the dock. Everything works EXCEPT that I have to enable a Display setting in macOS: Battery & Energy -> Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off. If you dont do that, then the MBP has issues detecting the displays properly after extended sleep (this is not a problem with the displays, its a known bug in macOS that Apple has so far refused to fix). Excellent monitors. Super sharp. I have one turned to portrait mode and the other to landscape. Had to get used to it (after using an ultrawide for ten years).

I love this monitor, its very easy to setup and only took me like 5 minutes. The picture quality is super good as well, very satisfied as a work monitor for my Mac book pro

4K monitor with a built-in hub. It is fantastic for daily use. It would be nice if it had 120 Hz, but it is not a dealbreaker for me. It has amazing picture quality and I can use it with my windows open and not have any difficulty seeing the screen

Like: - excellent screen and picture quality - port variety - can connect two desktops at the same time - USB- C support - 4K Dislike: - 60 Hz display and drops to 30 Hz when connected to MacBook pros - no built in speakers - monitor not sturdy

Spent a lot of time researching monitors and excluding some that were not Mac friendly. This one, so far, has been great. Love the one cable for display/power via USB-C. Only con is that the monitor is a little shaky at times at various heights. Its also a little pricy (although you do get nice features and its a great display). Still, Id love to see it around $100 lower. So the cost plus the shakiness are my reasons for the 4/5 instead of a 5/5. But would still recommend it in a heartbeat to any Mac owners looking for a device with ports in the back including the one cable USB-C power/display.

Cons: 1) Doesnt scale well with Mac since not 220 ppi or 110 ppi but chances are you already new that. 2) Design looks outdated, extremely thick. Looks like it cost about $300 tops. 3) Brightness and matte finish make it difficult to make out Text, looks distorted and light gray (as opposed to black due to limited contrast ratio) 4) Would be the best value monitor on the market for $500 dollars or under, but its still a stretch for its antique look. Pros: 1) USB-C power delivery, 4k resolution, Had I not returned this product it would have been a 5 star review. Good luck on your Monitor hunting!

I love the design, how it works, the KVM functionality, the massive port advantage, I have basically one usb c cable connected to monitor, it charges the laptop, 4k resolution, wired connection, and lots of different ports. And for KVM i just do a shortcut key on keyboard and it switches from work to personal and reverse, it’s awesome. It’s amazing. The picture quality is not as good as Apple OLED displays but it’s close.
