Modern design with thin bezels and buttons hidden on the back.This doesn’t affect my daily work as I can only see the light bleed when viewing a black screen in a completely dark room. My only complaint is that the U2723QE has more backlight bleeding than my previous Dell monitors, especially in the lower left corner where quick-access ports are located. I compared the color and sharpness between the two displays, you can check it out here. Although the Dell has the pixel density of just 163 ppi as compared to 254 ppi on my MacBook, the text still looks very sharp, smooth and clear, even when viewing up-close. The Dell U2723QE narrows the gap with much more accurate color, higher contrast ratio and amazing text sharpness. My biggest concern when purchasing an external monitor is that its picture quality might be way worse than my MacBook. If you make the switch from your MacBook to this external monitor, you won’t be disappointed. Once turning it off, the picture qualities between the two screens become closer and I had to examine them more carefully to tell the differences. The picture might not be as vibrant but we have more details and accurate colors instead. Since this is not a true HDR display, I’d recommend you to turn HDR off. The contrast ratio of the Dell is higher than its predecessors at 2,000:1 but still can’t compare with the XDR display. This is understandable because the MacBook’s XDR display features a wider dynamic range and impressive 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Besides, the dark areas are also too bright as compared to the MacBook. The highlights are blown out and a lot of details are lost during playback. However, when I tested it by playing some HDR content, the Dell monitor started revealing its disadvantages. Picture QualityĪlthough the monitor has the maximum brightness of just 400 nits, it looks as bright as my MacBook Pro’s display with 1,600-nit maximum brightness. The ports have high speeds and work consistently all the time. This is extremely useful as I no longer have to reach my MacBook or buy a separate dock.
There are many USB ports on the back of the monitor but I only use the quick-access ports located underneath the monitor. This appeared on many of my previous monitors but this is the first time I can use it properly. Dell P2721Q (left) vs U2723QE (right)Īnother useful feature is USB-C hub. I just don’t understand why the included USB-C cable is too short (1 meter), so I had to buy a longer cable for my setup. Previously, the USB-C port on my old P2721Q monitor could provide just 65W, so the battery could come down to 50% when I do some heavy tasks That could degrade the battery in no time, so I often had to plug it in using the MacBook power brick. My MacBook (M1 Pro) comes with a bulky 96W charging brick and finally I can return it to the box. The increased power delivery helps reduce cable clutter on my desktop. Moreover, the 90W power delivery is more than enough to avoid using the battery when plugged in.

I only care about this USB-C port because this is the only connection between my MacBook Pro and the monitor. On the back, there are familiar connectivity ports like the HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port with 90W power delivery. Connectivity options include RJ45 Ethernet, 10GBps SuperSpeed USB ports, HDMI, DisplayPort (In & Out), Audio line-out, and a USB-C port with up to 90W power delivery. Besides, it features 400-nit max brightness, 8 bits + FRC color depth, and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. It has a wide color gamut, covering 100% of the sRGB and Rec.709 color spaces, and 98% of the DCI-P3 color space with an average Delta E <2. Therefore, it can deliver a contrast ratio of 2000:1, twice as much as on older models. The panel is capable of offering a wider dynamic range with 35% deeper blacks than those of conventional IPS screens. It is even released sooner than LG’s own UltraFine Display Nano IPS Black monitors. The U2723QE boasts to be the world’s first 27-inch monitor coming with IPS Black technology by LG. The thin bezels also make your setup look sleeker when you daisy chain multiple monitors. The front display is flat with thin bezels and I no longer see a thick bar on the bottom. I’m quite impressed with the design of the Dell monitor.
