You’ll need to use a thunderbolt dock to get the single cable experienceQUESTION FOR MAC USERS:
Is it possible to connect a Mac (I'm on a MBP M3Pro) to the Dell U3223QE AND Another Monitor USING JUST ONE USB-C CABLE? Currently, I plug the U3223QE into my MBP using the USB-C cable, AND plug the second monitor using an HDMI cable. Any way to plug that second monitor, via HDMI or another type of connection, to the Dell (to daisy chain) and then just connect both daisy chained monitors to the MBP with one USB-C cable?
He specifically asked about DP daisy chaining. This needs Displayport MST which Apple kind of refuses to implement, but the feature is on the Dell display he has. Even adding a Thunderbolt dock into the mix, those two displays will need to have 2 separate cables going to the TB dock, but yes the dock only needs one cable to the Mac though.You’ll need to use a thunderbolt dock to get the single cable experience

Yes, the early 4K displays were dual tile and used two 1920x2160 60Hz MST streams because there were no controllers that supported 3840x2160 60Hz SST.I don't recall macOS supporting MST this way, maybe it was a very brief period with the early 4k displays?
You mean the Dell 5K UP2715K. The U2715H is a 1440p display.But I do recall with the Dell 5K U2715H, two discrete mDP cables had to be connected to one host Mac for dual tile to work.
I see, I was skeptical going into 4k early so I missed this early batch. In fact I might have avoided using them specifically because MST was involved.Yes, the early 4K displays were dual tile and used two 1920x2160 60Hz MST streams because there were no controllers that supported 3840x2160 60Hz SST.
Oh yeah totally mixed up the models; yes *that* one 5k display. The LG was released slightly later, probably to wait for TB3 being available on Macs. Also If I recall, Apple or LG did some trickery as well that was outside of the TB / DP specs requirement to have single cable work. Something to do with timing controller.You mean the Dell 5K UP2715K. The U2715H is a 1440p display.
The LG UltraFine 5K is the same as the Dell 5K UP2715K except the LG gets both DisplayPort SST 2560x2880 60Hz signals from Thunderbolt 3.
The U2713H is 2560x1440. Why wouldn't it be supported? Any Mac, past or future should support it. It has DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D Dual Link inputs. DisplayPort and HDMI should be easy. DVI-D Dual Link will require a DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI-D Adapter to achieve full 2560x1440 resolution.Do the new mini devices still support the U2713H?
I ask because I own one. Bought a new Mac mini which I haven’t connected yet but I recall that when I bought my previous Mac mini I had to run some scripts posted on the internet.The U2713H is 2560x1440.

That came out back in June. Version is M3T105.Dell has published a firmware update for the U3223QE with the below improvements:
1. Improve compatibility with AMD Graphics in daisy chain configuration with DSC mode
2. To eliminate instantaneous flash during SmartHDR mode switching
3. To eliminate remote visual noise occurrence
Installed and no issues so far.
Yeah those OLED 27 1440PP won't be great for some years to come for office work, I am using the Asus P27AQDM purely for gaming next to my Dell 32. Those OLED icm with 1440P and text clarity is not great, need to be 4K and RGB in this case for WOLED.I moved from a Viewsonic 27" 1080p display (which really wasn't bad at all) to the U2723Q, and it proved to be a "nice jump upwards", particularly in clarity.
I still notice a little "backlight bleed-through" when watching videos, however. Not intolerable, but it's still there. So the improved "black tech" of the Ultrasharp helps only so much, in my opinion.
What I'm waiting for now is a 27" 4k OLED display. Very few of these out there yet, and I've read that (for some reason I don't get), the pixel shape or arrangement on current OLED displays isn't best for text (have yet to see a real explanation on that). So I'll keep holding out a little longer.
But til then, the Dell Ultrasharp is indeed very nice.
Even with 32” 4k OLED monitors there is the debate with QD-OLED vs WOLED I think. I wonder if Apple has an answer to this yet, since they are aiming to replace the 14” and 16” with OLEDs where it seems on the iPad Pro it is already kind of fine (except the grey background grain issue).Yeah those OLED 27 1440PP won't be great for some years to come for office work, I am using the Asus P27AQDM purely for gaming next to my Dell 32.

I have an A02 that I’m quite happy with. Having said that, it’s nothing compared to an Apple XDR or a high-end Eizo. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. You could get two or three (or five or thirty!) of these for the cost of a true reference monitor. The real question here is what is your budget? There will be drawbacks to anything on the lower price end.I’m interested in the Dell UltraSharp U2723QE and would like to know what improvements have been made in the latest revisions.
Is Rev A03 currently the latest for the U2723QE, or has Rev A04 (or a newer version) been released?
I place a high value on first-class picture quality.
I’ve read that recent revisions have made significant improvements to black uniformity, thanks to IPS Black technology.
- Exceptional color accuracy
- Outstanding sharpness
As I do image and video editing, excellent color reproduction and top-notch image quality are essential for my work.
I dont install the Dell software DDPM. I only install the firmware updates.Those who run the Dell U2723QE on your macs, do you also install the dell DDPM software or is that not needed?
As far as base resolution, what are people running? 2560x1440 60hz HiDPI?
I do. I like the option to pull it up and change brightness without messing with buttons, etc...Those who run the Dell U2723QE on your macs, do you also install the dell DDPM software or is that not needed?
