    All I can say is, wow. The display is really eye-catching and 3D-like given the clarity, connected to Mac Mini and Mac Studio. Even though they were probably the base model in the Apple Store, the M1 chip and M2 chip are so fast. Lightning fast, could say. Wireless trackpad so smooth and enough space to move your hand around, and here I thought using a regular mouse was great, but trackpad even better. So much more 'finger-real' estate. Such cutting-edge technology, even the Apple Watch, one of the most amazing tiny pieces of tech today. Robots may be a different arena but they sure cost a lot. I don't consider Apple products too expensive anymore, in that the price point seems more fair than say in 2007. For some reason maybe because of the large area of the Apple Store the Apple Display is so thin with narrow bezel and vibrant it seems larger than how it may be in a small room. It looks so much like the new iMac. I would give the 2022 (or 2023) Apple Display 10 out of 10, one of the best displays I ever saw. Much like those Sharp Aquos displays that cost thousands, some of the sharpest and clearest display technology that really looks great in the not-so-gorgeous concrete and steel interior of a warehouse-style retailer.

    i use both U2723qe and S2722qc. Both are from DELL, both are 4k and 27". I am using them with a Macbook and a scaled resolution (to gain more pixels per character or icon, like in the menu bar, and to have a font size of the macos controls matching the macbook 13" display).
    I can tell that the panel of the ultrasharp is a notch better and comes closer to the retina display of the macbook. If affordable i would always choose the U27 over the S27.
    I was considering the 32" U3223qe. I did not choose that one especially for the very reason others prefer 32": using native resolution without scaling. Why? When you switch display settings to the resolution on the right end of the dial in system settings, you will NOT get a HiDPI resolution with a 4K display! Meaning, all fonts and icons will be rendered with less pixel when you want that maximum of real estate.
    Thanks for your video!

    Mhm, the biggest thing that bothers me is the IPS panel and fake black. weren't there some mini LED and OLED screens with 120hz up and 1000 nits up that were shown at CES? I can't wait until we see more of them in the 27 to 32 inch range.
    Use the predecessor to the Dell in your review as a work monitor and yes, as you say, is ok, for home use and here work and entertainment I would prefer true color worlds, true blacks and better refresh rates over a HUB.
    And I have hoped we will finally see more in this field.
    For me, colors and contrast are the highest values for consuming or looking at anything in the web, of course with fast timings and hopefully in the future with fast refresh rates and high nits(by still staying color accurate).
    But it’s not getting cheaper if we still think that IPS Black or TN Panels are still enough.

    I also have 2 of them in use with an MDS19 holder from Dell. The features are very good, even 10 Gbps/Lan, and I save myself a Thunderbolt dock, which either costs as much as a U2723QE or annoys with high-frequency beeping.
    I only have 3 small criticisms:
    - no speaker (somewhat bad ones are enough for system sounds and the occasional YT video), but that doesn't bother me, as I output the sound via the MacBook and switch to the Homepod when necessary
    - the included stand is stable, but depending on the desk, vibrations are amplified too much
    - it reflects a bit strongly for a matte display, especially on dark surfaces / dark mode
    I previously had the cheaper S2722QC but the U2723QE was worth the extra cost!

    I bought the 27" QE last year, but sent it back, since it's scaled at 1080p by default on a Mac (which is ridiculous nowadays), or way too small - unless you're born with eagle eyes.
    The 32" model is much more enjoyable on native 4K with MacOS. Only the menubar and System Preferences are hard to read. Everything else is scalable and crisp enough (around 140DPI). The 32" stand is also sturdier. I ended up buying a U2722DE as a secondary display, since they share the same design, to replace a 2012 1440p 27" Ultrasharp, which still works.

    I just ordered on of these to pair with my new M3 Pro MacBook Pro. The other monitors I considered included: Samsung M8, LG Ultrafine 4K Ergo monitors (27" and 32" models), Alogic Clarity...
    The Alogic Clarity seems to have the best display, but it is more expensive, and I'm not going to be doing photo editing or video work. I already have a 32" LG display in another room, and find it to be slightly too large on my standing desk. The desk that I am buying this new monitor for is slightly smaller, so I definitely wanted a 27" monitor this time.
    But what won me over to the Dell U2723QE model was the hub. Specifically, the ethernet port is a great addition. (Why don't all these other models have ethernet ports?) These days, many people buying these monitors will be using them with laptops, so having a one-cable, USB-C (to the laptop) solution seems perfect.

    Im currently looking at monitors and am stuck at a crossroads between 27 inch 1440p vs 4K. If I understand correctly for 1440p I can choose to use the default monitor resolution since it is close to 110ppi. Wondering what scaling are you using for this monitor as I heard the default is virtual 1080p for 4k monitor but the icons in your video don't look overblownly big like what I was expecting.

    I saw your UA-cam video on this monitor and how you connected it to your MacBook. At present I have a Samsung ultra wide 43 inch monitor and I keep an old dell 27 inch monitor in portrait mode on the side. I got my new M2 MacBook Air today and I connect both via a dock it seems I am not getting the option to rotate the smaller dell monitor because it might not be compatible with macOS for rotation, please tell me if you feel I can do that with U2723QE so I can decide to buy it. My work requires two monitors so I want to use my Samsung ultra wide monitor as my main monitor and then this dell U2723QE as my second monitor but it will always remain in portrait mode connected to my Windows PC and also my M2 MacBook Air with the latest macOS, based on your knowledge please let me know if you think this setup will work. Thanks

    I have to say that for Mac users, it's nice that there are several options with the screen size of 27 or 32in.
    What I now want to see companies do is make monitors that can fit tighter workspaces. I.e., I'm currently using a 23.8 in. QHD monitor by Lenovo. For what I'm doing with my MacBook Air, it's perfect. Got a 75hz refresh rate, connects via USB-C, but it's got an HDMI port (for my Switch), and a DisplayPort (for my PC). And two USB-A ports (I have a light bar, and a Lightning cable connected). If it had a 144hz refresh rate, it'd be a perfect monitor.

      @@pkennethv I'm just saying that because I've tested this display on m1 Macs, I haven't seen it with intel macs for example, so maybe with those the display looks fine. On my display, 27 inch 1440p, my M1 MacBook has the letters blurry and it's kind of difficult to read. Apparently, this display does not meet the standards for the retina Mac requirements, so it just does not work. On the other hand, windows looks fine on this display, because they use the ClearType software that modifies the font a little bit so it does not look blurry. So, either you go with Mac, that respects the fonts exactly for appearance reasons and does not display correctly on this display, or you go with windows, that modifies the font slightly to support many screen resolutions and sizes, but is not truthful to the real font.

    I have this monitor. i find the placement of the connections on the bottom of the monitor to be extremely annoying. Really wish they were on the back of the monitor instead. I agree that the hole in the stand for the cables to pass through is too low, but I am using a vesa arm so that's no longer an issue for me. One other annoyance is that the Dell Display Driver software seems to constantly have updates (good that it's being updated, but annoying to install updates weekly). Other than that, it's a good monitor.
