Essentially https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/872241 but with an in-built USB C hub with up to 65W power delivery for an additional $54.45
Worth it if you want to declutter your desk and run a single USB C cable for power/display
I paid $358.37 on October 23 2024.
I also use mine with an iPad but quite like the OS experience. It's actually my main computer for daily (non-work) tasks. Interested to know what it is you don't like. I do have a M2 iPad Pro so the Dell is a "proper" external screen so that might be the difference?
i have ipad pro m1 11 inch - i do also have the official magic keyboard dock but rather keep it housed in my zugu drop proof case.
i am mid 30s , so not a boomer, relatively tech savvy, but it just feels..unintuitive, i wanted it to be a natural extension of the ipad experience (i used my ipad normally for media consumption, little bit of emails , reddit ozbargain etc)
off the top of my head:
why cant i just keep my ipad folded up, and off to the side somewhere, and use a nice big monitor as my only screen?
i pair it with mx mouse and keys - no matter what i do, scrolling from ipad, up to screen, when on screen the cursor just feels weirdly laggy? Have tried to turn off the smoothing, stuffed around with speeds etc but no dice, feels weird.
why is there no cursor …just a circle, idk how graphic designer/artists are supposed to really work like this? I suppose unless they just use apple pencil (which i also have lol). doesnt affect my productivity potential i guess…i just thought it was weird.
i can put up with 'light' versions of photoshop, lightroom, no proper office (i have a 365 subscription), but even just simple stuff like rearranging/resizing windows seems unintuitive . (i do use windows 95% of the time)
can it hook up to mac mini and provide power?
The Mac Minis (inc M4) don’t support that.
I hope you recover someday from overpaying by $29.2
will keep me up at night yeah
I have one of these for WFH. Great monitor
Don't think it's been this low for a while. Great monitor. Have used it as a secondary since 2021 no issues. If i ever separate my work/gaming setup it'll be my primary monitor for work only thanks to the usb c PD.
I have this monitor. Any idea how to daisy chain from this monitor to another Dell monitor (P2422HE) or vice versa? I tried it, but couldn't get it to work, even though I can daisy chain from the P2422HE to an older Dell monitor. The manual is not entirely clear.
I could get both monitors plugged into the laptop, but the laptop didn't like the extra work, and became hot, noisy and slow.
I don't think this monitor supports daisy chaining. Happy to be corrected though
Also, I believe your laptop would be worked just as hard with daisy chaining anyway
Maybe try using 1080p or 1440p resolution and see if your laptop is happier with that.
I know this might not be ideal, but unfortunately 4K + 1080p might be beyond what your laptop is capable of
Depends on you DP level that is being output from the laptop. From memory DP 1.2 can only do 4K and 1080p and the 4K is at 30hz. The most it can do is drive 4K at 60hz on a single screen.
How is 4K on a 27” monitor? Do you need scaling and does that negate the resolution?
Was thinking 1440p would be better on a 27”.
It works fantastic. Also, scaling does not negate resolution, it leverages it (see: any phone in the last 10 years).
I've been using it for several years with various macbooks. I set the resolution to 2560x1440 which is a good balance of font size and screen realestate. The only issue is that it sometimes flickers badly. It seems common for this model but I don't know if it's a m1/m2 compatibility issue, as when it flickers, it continues to flicker even if I unplug the macbook pro.
I may consider an ultrasharp next but am not sure if ultrasharp also has the flickering problem.
Thanks I'll test if it's dark theme causing the issue. Also the contrast adjustment.
Sadly I see U2723QE on the same list :(
Yeah my mate had the same issue, had one from a few years ago, and didn't have a windows PC (the only way to update firmware is via windows) so they replaced it, and he still has some issues - does appear to be related to later generation MX macbook compatibility at least for his use. I've only had it as a secondary/connected to windows PC and havent had an issue yet thankfully…
I am looking to get a M4 Mac Mini so been playing with my S2722QC to see how it goes as a monitor.
Had bad text and blurry.
Seems macs want to do double resolution so it only plays nice on FHD setting :(

Did some more reading and downloaded this and set it to run default at 1440p works a lot better

Also with this Dell there are a few YouTube about turning off a few settings when using macs.
I prob just buy a 1440p for the mac.. The 4k works fine for Windows and PS4 pro
Good deal. But a lot more will come as the EOY approaches..
great, but need to be sub-300
Dang I paid 351.93 in July
Great monitor
No complaints
Also can hook directly up to iPad (but holy moly how shit is the os experience)
And also can hook up directly to steam deck and charge.
In built speakers also quite ok for inbuilt.
