Dell UltraSharp U3223QE 31.5 4K UHD WLED LCD Monitor - 16:9 - Black, Silver

I used this monitor at work on a windows machine, it worked very well although my graphics card only managed 4K 30hz it was still usable. I hooked up my MacBook Pro at the same time and 4K 60hz worked very well and charged the MacBook too through usb c. The picture is colorful and bright, there are many color settings and I managed to get a close match to the MacBook Pro 14” screen color by adjusting the white balance. The picture by picture mode is awesome, having a windows machine on one half and a Mac on the other half works very well. The 32” screen is large enough to work this way and the images autosize to fill the screen. The Dell software is great, you can adjust the brightness, contrast and any other picture setting through both the mac and the windows pc without having to touch any buttons on the monitor. I was concerned about 32” 4K and mac text sharpness, no problem here it’s very good. I came from a 5k iMac and the 4K 32” passes my sharpness needs no problem. I don’t need to change the resolution from 4K on the 32” it is small txt but readable. I have used 2K resolution but I preferred the 4K when the monitor is at arms length infront of me. The brightness is good. I was concerned about this since I had a apple studio display for a month in spring and 600nits was great. However, the Dell is bright enough and I tended to use brightness between 90 and 100% during the sunny day which is ideal. What would I change? (1) not much to be honest (2) I prefer glossy screens but that’s personal and the Dell is by no means unattractive (3) add speakers and a microphone. I’m 50/50 about this as I may prefer my own choice of studio mike and monitors with good bass which only the studio display has! (4) longer usbc cable, 3ft….really ! (5) I find the stand bulky the footprint is large, it’s very sturdy though and very effective. I’m just more in favor of the apple studio stand but that’s a smaller monitor. In summary, a very sturdy monitor with great color accuracy and works very well with my mac and with windows pc which is exactly what I need - so I ordered one for home and can’t wait to start to use it and improve my productivity.

As a visualization artist, color is very important to me. I have tried 6 different monitors recently and IPS black displays have consistently come out on top as the best bang for the buck. If you have the money to afford a 4K mini led or oled monitor then by all means but these dell monitors having amazing image quality for the price. Having tried both the 27” and 32” version I can say the only difference was size and price. Although 4K on a 27” has greater ppi, the picture quality on the 32” was almost indistinguishable from the 27”. The 32” is however $300 more, so if you don’t need the extra space, go with the 27”. Both monitors us the LG IPS Black displays, so if you want panels with the exact same picture quality, you can buy LG’s version of the monitors for significantly cheaper. $650 vs $850 for the 32” version. What Dell does is buy the display, improves quality control and warranty, packages it better by making it frameless on 4 sides instead of 3, adds features like a built in hub, kvm etc, so if you need all those extra features then buy Dell but if you’re just looking for an IPS display with the same image quality, LG has alternatives for much cheaper.

I purchased this monitor back in November from Dell when if first came out. The picture quality was not as good as my slightly older LG 27 Inch Monitor. It was a bit more matte than I care for and also where they show it daisy chained to another dell, you have to have a Dell PC for that. My older LG is much more similar to my Macbook Pro in screen quality. I had it mounted to a monitor arm that I keep fairly tight. I went to move the monitor up a bit and had my thumbs on the screen. I apparently applied too much pressure (it wasnt much, I know because they this didnt happen to the other side) and a giant crack spidered across the screen. I know, my fault and I get it. However, you should know that I called Dell and was promptly informed that they do not offer screen repairs on monitors and that I would need to purchase another one.

This monitor with the build in USB C docking station and KVM switch works great for my purposes. I have a 7 year old HP Omen workstation laptop that only has HDMI video out and standard USB along with my work laptop which is a 3 month old HP ProBook with USB C docking port. Connected both laptops through this monitor with single mouse and keyboard and can switch between devices with no problem. Just had to figure out which USB port on the monitor needed to connect to the older HP Omen for mouse and keyboard since the documentation that comes with the device is very sparce. I my work office I have a 38 wide curved monitor connected to the HP ProBook connected through a Belkin dock that is recommended by HP and the setup is very flakey (That is technical jargon for the monitor doesnt always detect the video signal) This is not the case with this Dell monitor syncs right away and always remembers its settings. Very pleased with the functionality. I am a software programmer and primarily use Visual Studio and SSMS so my opinion on the video/graphic quality of this monitor is purely from the writing point of view. Im not a gamer.

I was tired of text appearing fuzzy when I moved a window from the iMac Retina display to the monitor on the right. This solved that problem and kept the overall dimensions of the iMac and the Dell monitor similar. Very happy with the purchase.

We bought this monitor to use with our new Mac M2 Airbook and were blown away by the crisp colors and true blacks. We are photographers and designers and work constantly and extensively in Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Topaz Labs products, and this monitor delivers amazing clarity and color. We looked at SO many models before buying, trying to match Mac M2 compatibility with an excellent connectivity hub and comfortable position settings - this is it - this monitor will adjust up and down, tilt front to back, and even pivot from landscape to portrait mode, which is perfect for writing documents. This will be the monitor everyone in your house wants, but you keep locked away for YOU. Its truly a fabulous piece of hardware and would make an excellent gift. Expensive, maybe a bit more than some, but for the increase in productivity you will get in using this baby, its worth it...and hundreds of dollars less than an Apple display. Its so much easier to work on the fine details of gigapixel photos while enlarged to 1200% on a quality large screen.

My monitor had some minor faults, but the return experience with this seller was absolutely seamless.

I have had the LG UltraFine 5K for years now, so thats my primary benchmark. I also recently tried the new Apple Studio monitor. That one wins from a pure quality point of view, but its just too pricey for what offers. The Dell I had to fiddle with settings to get it to stop looking terrible. Im specifically mostly concerned with text clarity because Im a software developer, and this would be my primary monitor to stare at code all day. The Dell is OK once you set it to one notch over into scaled with more space in Apples dumbed down selector. I would have expected the Dells native to be optimal, so that was weird. I also use this one vertically.. so one note is that 32 vertical is just about too tall. I found my neck cricking just a bit when looking up to the top (I have it centered in front of my eyes). Anyways, even with fiddling, the quality is not there. I shouldnt expect it, either, given the difference in pixel density, but I thought Id see if it was good enough. Not quite, in my view. But Im finicky. The brightness was just about good enough. A smidge less bright than the UltraFine, but in my room with lots of windows it did OK. I wish there were more Retina monitors available. I started looking mainly because Ive noticed some ghosting on my UltraFines, and I dont really want to buy this old technology again, but I also dont want to spend $1700 for basically the same thing screen-wise. So this one is OK, but just barely good enough for my purposes. I decided not to keep it.

This monitor is a total fail due to the DPBS (Dell Power Button Sync) feature that cant be disabled. I was very excited when I found this monitor that would allow me to remove from clutter and cables from my desk. The goal was to eliminate a docking station and KVM switch...both of which are built into this monitor. My plan was to plug my personal desktop into the Display port and my work laptop into the USB-C port with the 90w of power. On paper this monitor can do that...but in execution there is a major flaw. This monitor also has a feature called DPBS (Dell Power Button Sync) which links the monitors power button to the Dell power button on my work laptop. With both machines plugged in I cant turn just the monitor off or else it will turn my work laptop off. I have to unplug my laptop and then I need another power source. There is not way to disable this absolutely stupid feature which is counter productive to the built in docking station and KVM. If you plan to actually use this feature look elsewhere. If you dont need this feature then look elsewhere. You can find better monitors for less. If Dell would give us the option to remove this feature it would be a totally different review.

As the title says, I ordered and paid for a new one but received one that had been opened and taped shut again. It was noticeable because Dell taped the box closed with one piece of tape in the center. The box I received had that piece of tape in the center cut and two other pieces, each about 1/3rd the length from each end, as shown in the pic. Perhaps this was just an accident but Im rather disappointed in Amazon. It seems safer to order directly from the manufacture instead.
