It's hard to say. I didn't dare to upgrade to Ventura yet, so I'm not able to check. But what is your connection type?
I´m connected via USB-C to Thunderbolt. It looks like Apple removed the feature to change the fps.

That’s weird. What is the reason for that? Do you have Data Transfer priority or Video for USB-C?
I already switched the setting with no result. It shouldn't matter anyway because MacBooks Pros since 2018 support DisplayPort 1.4

I got two of this, the second one I needed to replace 4 times. I did receive a new one on the warranty from dell and I did keep my old one until I did receive the new one.
The service was great!

The replacement that did work was a referbished display but the funny thing is that the display was not referbished it was the other things inside like the cables.
Dell puts label on all the things that are referbished inside the referbished box.

Link?

Do these work with the S2722QC? I need a 6’ cable.

Hi!
Did this happened to someone? It looks like the right "local dimming" zone stays to 100% brightness, no matter which brightness is set, on any input.
I received it yesterday and it happened around after around one hour of use.

I got this monitor a couple days ago and it seems that the USB hub is not active when no laptop is connected? Is that right? This means that for instance I cannot charge my iPhone without also connecting my laptop. Do you guys have the same issue?

I was hoping to get rid of all of my charging cables on my desk and charge all devices through the screen, however, I don't always have my laptop connected so this is pretty annoying.

Should I buy the Dell 27” Ultrasharp or the Apple Studio Monitor.

Seems both monitors have their issues, so it is hard for me to pick.

I just bought a LG 32UN880-B 4K UHD from Costco for $500. Using it now. Didn't see this thread.. Either of these Dell monitor that much of an upgrade over the LG 4K 32" Ergo monitor?

I prefer the brighter screen on the Dell of course, but any other reason to return the LG Ergo?

Guys, seriously need your help on brainstorming what can be causing my issue:

1. The display turns black for a second when I come back to my desk, after being away for a few minutes. This is not always, but most of the times. Just as I sit on my chair, I see the screen blacks out for a second, then goes back to normal.
2. The display never turns black when I am sitting at my desk and working.

The QUESTION IS - what can be causing the display to black out at the moment I am coming back to my desk.
Could it be some sort of magnetic interference with my body?
I am seriously without a clue.
Please help with ideas what can be causing this.
As far as I know there are no proximity sensors on this display, nor are there any proximity sensors on my two computers I am using this display with - a Mac Pro 2013 and a Mac mini M1.
I registered just to reply to you as I’ve experienced the same issue for a different monitor in the past. This could be EMI from a gas lift office chair.

Wow! Thank you so much. That is exactly what is happening, just as in that video. Many times, I tried to approach the desk and sit carefully on my chair... but as soon as I roll it a bit, the screen will blank! Also happening when just roll the chair a bit while sitting.
Thanks, anomaly explained. I will try to put a magnet around the cable and see what happens.

Hello,

Juste received a new 3223. Calibration results are pretty good, but the overall panel uniformity is really bad sadly. The lower left part of the screen looks a lot colder/bluer than the rest of the screen. It's confirmed by the test chart.

That's disappointing considering this is the fourth unit I received:
1. 2 dead pixels and terrible backlight bleed (rev A00)
2. 3 dead pixels (rev A00)
3. the extreme right dimming zone was constantly set to 100%, even with the brightness setting at 0 in the menu, and not great backlight bleeding (rev A01)
4. bad panel uniformity, and some backlight bleed (but acceptable) (rev A01)

I don't really know what to do now.

Can you see it with your eye? If yes open warranty case with dell and replace it

Yes, it’s the first thing I saw when I turned it on for the first time.
I will contact Dell and see what they can do.

Contact Dell? I would return it if it bothers you. Btw, the 3223Q 144hz, version of this is on sale for $599. Just placed an order.

Does anybody know if i can put an LG monitor desktop stand to my Dell U3223QE ??
I got space issue and the Dell Stand is too tall, whereas LG is telescopic.

Thanks!

I had a U2723QE delivered yesterday and connected it to my 2020 Intel MBP. As pointed out in this thread, I had to change the usb c mode to get 4k at 60hz. Compared to my S2721DS, the text is incredibly sharp scaled to 1440p.

I am questioning whether I should gone with the 32, but am concerned about the reduction in the ppi. Anyone picked up the 27 and upgraded to the 32?

I have the Dell U3223 QE and the text is really sharp in my opinion. I use 3360 x1890 scaling. (PPI 122)
The only issue I have is occasionally flickering (not often, sometimes once a day sometimes less). It seems to be software related, because the flickering stops when I close a white window. The Dell is connected to a Mac Studio with Usb-c and to a MacPro 5,1 with the display port cable. The flickering is only on the Mac Studio, not the MacPro.

I have been using the Dell 3223QE for several weeks with my 14" M1 Max and it has been a real treat. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. The display brightness is certainly greater than 400 nits. Coming from the LG 27" Ultrafine, I find only a slight reduction in sharpness, and the Dell is actually brighter than the LG.
