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

Beautiful monitor. Great resolution and color. Bright enough for use in bright rooms. Cant beat the price.

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.

i love the screen so much, it so clear and big. the brightness is also perfect and the instructions is clear so not really hard to set things up.

I purchased the 27" version U2723QE - Looks beautiful, works great, and supports both my MacBook Pro and ThinkPad X1. The setup was easy and fast. I was up and running in about 5 minutes. The picture is sharp and clear. No ugly Dell branding or logos on the front. Plenty bright even next to my window with direct sunlight. One thing I didn't realize at first - No speakers, no sound. No biggie. The monitor/stand can be a little wobbly if I have to connect or disconnect anything, but that's not really an issue either. I know there's a built-in KVM switch if I want to have multiple computers connected at the same time, but I wasn't happy about needing all the extra cables, so I bought a separate USB-C switch, that only needs one cable from each laptop, and then a single cable into the monitor. All of my external peripherals (keyboard, mouse, audio interface, etc.) - Those are all plugged in directly to the monitor. Which means I can easily switch between work and play no problem. This is definitely the nicest monitor I've ever bought. Only one minor issue, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars - After a long period of inactivity, and even with everything plugged-in and connected to power - The monitor will fail to recognize the USB-C connection. This is a known problem, although I went crazy thinking something died. The solution is to unplug the actual power cable from the monitor, and give it a good 5 minute break before plugging it back in. This resets the USB-C connection and then everything will work just fine. It's not an ideal scenario having to do this so often, and there is no updated firmware fix. It is what it is.

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!!!!

This is the perfect casual Mac OS monitor. The 4k is crisp, the colors are very nice. I have no idea if visual creators will like this, but it works very well as a productivity monitor. The screen finish allows me to see it beside a bright window. The build is very nice but not 'expensive' feeling; it's plastic, which means it isn't heavy to move around on a stand or a monitor arm. Dell has also a massively improved joystick toggle to replace its old squishy buttons on the bottom of the screen; more akin to other major monitor brands. Another great thing about this monitor is that it can double as a USB-C hub (a single cable plug and play solution for your laptop). I plan to get a 2nd and place them side by side. The only thing I miss is a high refresh rate, but I could not find a 4k monitor at 27inches with a screen refresh higher than 60htz. It just does what I need it to do, which is great.

Truthfully, this Dell Monitor was the only non-Apple monitor I was considering. I came really close to dropping $1600 on the Apple Studio Display because it was 5k and I knew it would work flawlessly with my MacBook Pro. However, I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much money on a monitor when I knew something as good as this Dell monitor existed for a third of the price. Yes, other monitors by LG etc are out there, but this monitor was easily the best option. First, I’ll be honest, I just really appreciate the thin bezels (thinner than the Studio Display), with symmetrical bezels all around (no thicker bottom bezel like most other displays), and that the Dell logo is neatly tucked away under the display. The aesthetic was a huge draw for me. Second, the color accuracy and the fact that it doesn’t need further calibration straight out of the box. It just looks SO good from the moment you turn it on! And third, I can tell you from my experience of owning it for two months, it works seamlessly with a MacBook (no connection issues with usb-c). I’ve had issues with this one in the past with Samsung and even LG monitors in the past. Yes, if the Studio Display was $500 then I would buy that over this. I think most of us MacBook owners would. But it isn’t and it never will be. So, this Dell monitor is the best alternative hands down!!! Eventually I just know I’ll cave and buy a second one so I can rock the dual monitor setup!!

Just ok. Not comparable to an Apple display.
