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

I've now used this monitor for over a year and a half, first with a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro and now with an Apple M4 Max laptop, and I still love it. As a writer and editor, I use it mainly rotated in vertical (portrait) orientation, and the ability to see multiple pages at full size and laserprint resolution has been a huge productivity boost in my work. I'm getting a second so that I can have a browser or PDF on one UltraSharp, my manuscript on the other, and email or Slack on the laptop display. The wide viewing angle, glare-free coating, and thin bezel of the screen keep everything clear and crisp, top to bottom and left to right.A second crucial feature for me is this monitor's ability to connect simultaneously to a Windows PC via DisplayPort and to a MacBook via USB-C, as well as to a shared external keyboard and mouse, and to then toggle between the two computers with a keystroke. While the Display Manager software that Dell provides isn't perfect, it's functional enough, and that's a tremendous time saver for users like me who prefer to use a Mac but work for a PC-centric company that provides employees with Windows laptops only.Lastly, the built-in USB/Ethernet/audio hub and power delivery over USB-C means I don't need to use a separate dock—the monitor is the dock! That saves me money, desk space, and troublshooting headaches. The only thing I could see improving about this display is the quality and stability of Dell's software, particularly the Mac versions.

I originally used this monitor with a dell XPS 15 and now use it mostly with a MacBook Pro 16 as well as a windows laptop for work. The monitor handles all these devices very well, and I keep my work laptop plugged in at all times with a permanent cable, while using another cable to connect my MacBook as needed. This single usb-c cable also charges my MacBook at 90W, which is more than enough even with the M4 Max processor under load.The screen quality is great. I haven't used a 5k/6k and this is definitely no studio display, but for writing and reading code, web browsing, and even some photo editing it serves me very well. The included stand is sturdy and smooth to adjust height and rotation of the screen.I dont mind 60Hz, but I would not recommend this monitor if you game a lot myself. Moving from my MacBook with the 120hz promotion display to this monitor isn't noticeable to me, for purposes of regular work and productivity tasks.The main draw for me to this monitor in particular compared to other competitors is the design. It is sleek, and has thinner bezels than most other options on the market. If you can get it on sale, I think its a good value, highly practical monitor that I am happy to recommend.

Anyone who may be struggling to read at their computer needs to try this monitor before getting reading glasses, especially if you're in your 40s and on the tail edge of needing correction when using a computer. This monitor has a much higher PPI than a standard 1080p computer screen, the text is much sharper and the images are crisp. I was looking for a comparable screen to the Apple Studio Display and this is probably the closest you will get for the price! I can buy almost 3 of these before getting 1 Studio Display, and honestly the Studio Display is VERY pretty and has 5K resolution instead of 4K but I don't think most people's eyes will notice a difference.I am using this with a MacBook Air M1 with 16GB RAM and it works perfectly, I've never had any issues with the screen. The trick is to set it to 1920x1080 (Default) instead of 1920x1080 low resolution. With the "Default" setting you will get the higher PPI but the monitor will SCALE up so your text size does not shrink. If you set this to 3840x2160 which is the native 4K resolution, your text will be very tiny and hard to read. With the 1920x1080 (Default) setting I get the best of both worlds so I'm very happy.I have not tried to use the hub on this, but this has a ton of ports. I already have a DisplayLink dual monitor dock (which this works perfectly with), so I did not need to plug all my USB and other cables into the back of the monitor.This display looks very attractive, the bezels are thin and disappear into the display. I heard the speakers suck, but I don't need it for that so I've not tried it. I removed the built in stand and mounted this to my VESA arm mount and it fits perfectly.Just get this monitor, you won't regret it!!!!
