I'd add for 27UP850 "better list" one more thing - hardware calibration. It is much more effective than software one and almost mandatory for serious photo/video editing. Here more on that topic:
I don't know this guy's problem, maybe Blender was not M1 optimised at that time, but in recent serious tests M1 Macs cope very well even with a bunch of 4K screens attached and all working at scaled resolutions. Intel GPUs were just much worse in this regards and according to author of below test even AMD Vega from Mac Pro 2013 is worse in this matter.
I've been using a 28" ASUS 4K display with a couple of MacBooks over the years (14" currently) and always thought it looked fine when scaled to the '1440p' equivalent. I'm using it at 1 arm's length - outstretched my fingertip just touches the screen.
I've ordered my Dell 27" and am expecting it to be a step up in terms of image quality. Has anyone with wired gigabit ethernet confirmed full speed is available via the USB C connection to the display?
I'll be replacing my Thunderbolt 3 dock with the dock built into the display if all goes to plan, although it will be a bit of a cable management issue with all the cables going up the arm to the display vs. the single DisplayPort cable running to my ASUS now.
Has anyone tried DELL P2723QE? I'm deciding between this one and the S2722QC. The latter recieved many good reviews (rtings included) and should work flawlessly with m1 mac mini. On the other hand it looks like P2723QE is a newer model but it has recieved a lot less reviews to this date. Any ideas which one to pick?
Not sure if this was already posted but it's a nice comparison of the panel.
Ordered mine in Canada on the 11th and the shipping label was created on the 12th so I'm hopeful. Shipping from just outside Toronto so it should be quick once it starts moving.

Did the monitor wobble when using it and typing? I had the S2722QC that I returned because of the wobble, it was almost usable when using my standing desk.
It shipped the next day you ordered it? Had mine ordered for more than a week few days ago and it never shipped. Also in Canada.
I went through two P2723QE (ended up with one from my employer) and one U2723QE.
"23" is related (not exact) to the year of introduction. So the P2723QE should be the newer one.
The P2723QE has a good amount of interfaces and works fine for home office use. I use the monitor with my Dell XPS15 and my MBA M1 and the hub works flawless in both cases.
The ethernet port provides ca. 940 Mbit/s over USB-C - that's fine!
The panel of the U2723QE seems to be better in some points (contrast, color gamut, illumination) but also worse in some points (IPS glow, backlight bleeding) than the one of the P2723QE. Also it is some nits brighter.
The U2723QE, I had, was revision A00. I returned it because of the terrible backlight bleeding on the lower left edge.
My actual P2723QE shows no signs of backlight bleeding at all.
I do not know, whether the P2723QE and the S2722QC share the same panel, but I would prefer the P2723QE for the ethernet port. That's an individual decision of course.
Hope this helps...
When you switch computer, does the ethernet port switch, too?
As mentioned in other posts this would make the ethernet useless
I usually switch the USB-cable between the two devices as I only have one of them on my desktop at a time.
After that the ethernet port indeed is not found.
I have to switch off / on the display and the ethernet port works immediately.
This seems to be a firmware problem.
As the monitor is quite new, I hope this will be solved by an update.
Thanks for reply, Dell is not really fast to publish fixes for its product but who knows...
It helps a lot! Many thanks. The thing I'm worried about is whether I would get RGB color profile, no flickering and no issues waking from sleep experience out of the box with this monitor. I would be pairing it with a mac mini m1.
In addition, does the monitor wobble and how is reflection handling?

I can only tell you about my experience with a MBA M1 as I do not own a mac mini.
Whe I set the MBA to sleep mode, the monitor goes to stand by mode a view seconds later.
When I wake up the MBA with my MX keys, the monitor also wakes up.
The bottom plate doesn't wobble on the desktop but the monitor itself may wobble a bit due to the tolerances in the height adjustment-, swivel- and tilt-mechanism. For me that's ok.
Regarding the quality of the panel and the reflection handling, I think you have to check out by yourself if this is ok for you.
btw. Dell Display Manager does not (yet?) work with my P2723QE though DDC is activated

They both have '23' in the model name so I'm not sure why you think the P is newer than the U based on your belief that 23 correlates somehow to the year of introduction.
And they both have ethernet, so I'm not sure why that makes you prefer the P model.
I have the U on order, but might consider the P based on the similarities and $90 price difference (Canada).
Just got my U3223QE after 2 months waiting...
The new black-IPS lcd panel is quite good for a obvious deep black color. The text is Cristal and Clear.
The only small problem is the 400nit brightness and a slight pink color temperature when compare with the bulid-in MBP16's lcd.
If you do most text/code works than graphics or videos, the U3223QE is a very good choice for the build-in KVM, 2nd display chain, RJ45 plug, 5 usb-a port, 2 usb-c port.
The attached clip is a infuse-pro screen when playing a DV.MKV movie dragging from the U3223QE(Display HDR400 on) to MBP16's LCD.

Does the 2nd display chain work? I thought that worked only on Thunderbolt monitors.
The XX23 is better than XX22 for the new designed joy-stick control.
And the XX22 is almost a stop building SKUs which means more waiting time.
macOS doesn't support MST for multiple displays. You can use MST for multiple displays on an Intel Mac if you boot Windows or Linux.
I just found this page:
Triple Monitor Docking Station - Apple Community
The Mac supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST, multiple displays on one cable) with a maximum of TWO modest-sized displays ONLY on Genuine ThunderBolt Cables connecting to a Genuine ThunderBolt device [dock or display] as the first device.
So, not support the Dell U3223QE with macOS.
