When you are using FCPX, are your video scopes properly defined? I have the 2k Pro-art and I find the compositing on my M1 Mac Mini causes the scope info to be blown out white and unusable unless I stretch the scopes window to the full screen width. It is particularly if you set the waveforms to luma.

Thank you for the quick follow up video, it was very helpful. On the Dell calibration report you mentioned, does it say what the Delta value is? Also, thanks for showing Lightroom at those scaling options - it was very useful to see. And for the light bleeding comment you received, it's best to play that all black video at night when the room is dark. If you do, let us know if any is noticed - it's not a concern for me but i did hear one comment say for them it was at the bottom left, so likely why another commented on it.

No problem! There are bar charts covering delta for 32 colours and the delta is given for each. The highest delta on my reports for sRGB and Rec 709 is less than 1, the highest delta for P3 is a single red colour which is about 3 - and a couple of peaks just under 2. I couldn't see any light leakage in the dark when I checked. It's certainly not noticeable anyway. Hope that helps.

Thank's an awful lot, Stuart for your proper review! I got mine this week. I am under the impression that there is a little vignetting on the lower edge. Probably because my eyes are on the upper half height which gives me more angle when looking down. Again makes you awe at how very good these apple panels are: no such vignetting whatsoever. (i have a macbook air m1 standing below the monitor with the lid open, thus using the macbook screen in combination with the dells screen). I am considering the U3223qe for office while the u2723eq sits at my home office.

Do you have a solid impression wrt. the durability of the stand and occasional changes in height, angle and even portrait mode? 2) Does the portrait mode work with the Mac studio? 3) I guess you don't happen to have a PS4 or PS5 laying around to be tested? ;-)

Hello, I am currently in the process of selecting a monitor for my MacBook Air M2. At the moment, I am considering two models: the Dell Ultrasharp U2723QE and the Asus ProArt PA279CRV. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to visit a physical store and directly compare these two monitors. Currently, I am leaning towards the Dell due to my preference for its design. I have two questions: Is it possible to use a USB-C cable to simultaneously transfer video from a Mac and charge it? If so, what is the charging power? Have you had the chance to compare these two monitors? I've come across online reviews mentioning that black tones do not appear truly black on the Dell. Have you experienced this issue? Additionally, which monitor do you believe offers better color reproduction? I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Thank you for the great review! How is the color calibration with Mac screens? I’ve been set on getting the BenQ PD3220U for its specs and it having a “m-book” mode which is a color setting to match Mac screens/devices. However, I just came across this Dell monitor and it’s higher brightness and contrast compared to the BenQ has me really intrigued. If the Dell matches Mac screens well, I’d definitely would go with the Dell. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Colour calibration works well with an X-rite dongle. Regardless of how the Dell or BenQ comes from the factory, I’d calibrate it anyway. And I’d calibrate the MacBook so they should produce the same results regardless of M-book setting or not.

What I like is: screen, anti-glare coating, ports, and Dell software - seriously I need sheduled brightness and contrast from app it changes automatically. Now days in Poland are still short, a bit to bright at the morning and sunset at 3:00 PM ehh.

Hi Stuart, thank you for the awesome and deep review! I’m upgrading from an old (2014) Apple Thunderbolt Display 27”, using with Macbook Pro 2019 (aways closed-display on dock). I would like to ask two questions: 1) with the thundebolt monitor I can connect my macbook closed-display and it recognizes normally. With this Dell is this possible too, or for the monitor to recognize the MB is it necessary for it to be open when plug usb-c cable? 2) Do the smart keyboard volume and brightness key commands work with this monitor? Thank you in advance.

Hi Jose, I’m afraid I can’t help with your first question - I’ve only connected this monitor to my Mac Studio. Hopefully somebody else can answer that for you!? As for your second question the brightness keys do not work like they would with an Apple display or as on an iMac or MacBook. The brightness can be easily changed if you use the Dell display software. The volume keys do work, but keep in mind the Dell does not have internal speakers, so the volume keys change the volume of your external speakers as you would expect. Hope that helps.

I like not being able to see the pixels. There’s a lot of comments on here about scaling and personally I don’t get it - you just go into the Mac’s settings and adjust the zoom setting to how big you want your image, text and icons to appear. I see or experience no issues with performance etc in doing this. It’s a great display for the Mac Studio, I have zero complaints!

I tried 7 PD2700U monitors at the store and all had visibly off white balances, anti-glare coating blemishes and bad black uniformity. The three that I did take home, one developed a backlight flickering issue when left powered on longer than 24 hours. I'm lucky that the store manager had the same monitors and agreed that their batch must have been defective and that his were perfect, unlike the ones I had tried. I'm happy to try these UltraSharps! The new panel "IPS Black" panel tech seems promising!

on any mac the scaling option only changes the icon size not the resolution
@sturousephoto 2 жыл бұрын
Not sure that’s right - there is a setting which changes icon size but scaling changes the ‘apparent’ resolution of the whole screen.

the problem with 4k 27'' displays is that they dont have the required 220PPI needed for native scaling. If you scale using the middle 3 options you are using the GPU to scale the display which is using system resources. Basically why you either go 5K or the other way to HD or 1440 so you can use native 110PPI scaling.

This is not as simple as you think, There is also a high price performance wise for pushing out 5K content 60 frames a second over pushing out 4k content 60 frames a second. Check reviews on youtube for the technical results on this, but basically the computer needs to process 25% more pixels. It's the same reason gaming monitors are low res.

Please help! Do you have the monitor connected to Mac Studio with usb-c only or both usb-c and HDMI cable? When I plug in only using usb-c I get no picture and when I use only hdmi the ports on the back of the monitor don’t work. I currently have a hdmi connected to get picture and also a usb-c connect in order for my Mac mini to pick up things connected to the ports on the back of my monitor.

@sturousephoto 2 жыл бұрын
I think MacBooks are currently using P3, so I suppose the P3 setting should be closest. However, if you care that much about colour then you should really think about calibrating your display every 4-6 weeks using something like an i1 Display, Spider or Colormunki - Xrite, Datacolor or Calibrite tools.

Thank you, Stuart. Mine was just delivered from Dell. It came all the way from the west coast, to me on the east coast by FedEx. Dell didn't even bother to put it in a padded shipping box. It is just in it's regular off the shelf box. It has a 2 inch gash in it. I'm not surprised, it has gone through about 10 city stops. How was yours delivered? Any damage to the box?

Thanks for your great review. So basically there is no way to have full 4k resolution in settings but same time to have a normal size bar and icons. I can not remember but one of the laptops dell, MSI, or Samsung galaxy pro has that additional setting, which allows you to connect via thunderbolt 4 to your 4k monitor, on a monitor in settings put full 4k resolution but same time to have a very normal big size icon and top bar

@EnterSpacebar 2 жыл бұрын
This is a MacOS issue. And has been so for nearly a decade. Apple are adamant about being lazy with the scaling mechanism and only doing integer vales of 110 ppi "Retina". So, 4k at 24", 5K at 27" and 6K at 32" will get you "native" (integer multiple) scaling on MacOS, anything else and you have to compromise with either interpolation (which has a quality and performance hit) or weirdly small/large UI elements.

I like your view on scaling. I have to admit I CAN tell the difference between the naive perfect 2:1 pixel scaling on 4K, but I also agree 2560x1440 is the sweet-spot and the slight loss in sharpness is no biggie and easily worth the trade-off.
