  • Last week, we compared the Apple Studio Display to the much cheaper and feature rich Samsung M8 Display, and the comparison was popular with MacRumors readers, so we thought we'd pit the Studio Display against yet another competing option, Dell's UltraSharp 27-inch "U2723QE" 4K USB-C Hub Monitor.

    I got this model about a month ago for my Mac Mini, and Im in awe. It’s such a fantastic screen for my needs - it has a beautiful display, it’s minimalistic (which for me is the equivalent of a good design, I hate all those
    Bells and whistles), it has plethora of ports, more then I will ever need, it turns on very quickly, doesn’t wobble, plenty of brightness (I keep it around 70-75% bright), simple menu with good access via button on the back side panel. I also don’t use monitor speakers ever so it’s great that I don’t have to pay for that and use my iPhone as a continuity camera so I don’t need a build in one.
    The image via USB c is phenomenal, this lets me use my Mac mini hdmi post to connect another screen. There is no issue with scaling on Mac, contrary to what some people been saying. It’s stable, the stand is flat so I can put stuff on it. Plus 27” turned out to be so much better then 32 or 34” which would be waaaaay to big.
    Overall 10/10. Seriously. For me.:)

      Hello. I have Macbook pro 13", i want to connect it big monitor for editing photo and video. I watch many reviews about Samsung M8, Dell U2723, Lenovo Qreator 27, Samsung S80UA. I cannot decide to buy one of them. Please help me about it.

      @@ElchinJavadov I'm no expert, however I am an expert in being overly "researcherous" and I can only suggest this - if you already have narrowed your search to these 4 then there is only one thing to do. Just PICK ONE AND BE DONE wit it :) Seriously. Just make a decision, get it, test it in your environment and if you're happy with it, keep it. If not, send it back and choose something else. There is NO PERFECT MONITOR. And there is not much sense in wasting time (like I did) to keep narrowing forever. There will always be something and the truth is, it doesn't matter. We are not curing cancer here, and it's not a major life decision. It's just a monitor.:)
      I for one didn't like Samsung M8 because it seem plasticky. I also narrowed my search to the companies that make a product that is suppose to do one thing but do it well, that's why I picked Dell - no crazy features, no speakers. It's a monitor, not a coffee maker and a lawn mower in one. I am super happy with my Dell. It's minimalistic, no fuss with any features, tons of ports, great stand, sharp as a scalpel in terms of picture quality. And it's enough.

    I have the 32" and 27" versions. 332 in landscape and 27 in portrait. I have and M1 Macbook pro and there are scaling issues. Unless you want it tiny you'll have to take the resolution down a notch, which is a problem the studio display doesn't have. That being said these monitors work great. Get plenty bright and are great to use. I have them on Vivo arms so the minimal bezels look great and hover over my desk shelf and desk in a cool way.

      @Andrew Hamilton I just got myself a Dell 27" Ultrasharp. I changed the 4k resolution one step down because everything was super small. If I scaled one more step I can see now what people mean by "scaling issues". The text is indeed a tiny tiny bit less sharp, but to be honest? I couldn't care less! :) This "scaling issue" is NOT an issue at all! And I have no idea why people so exaggerate this issue, as many other for that matter. I spend months going through reviews on YT, worrying about so much.

The build quality on the M8 strikes me as poor, it’s port selection and hub features are very basic, It doesn’t offer the level of color accuracy I am interested in, and I could care less about the smart TV and voice assistant built into it, actually I would go as far as saying I DON’T want those things in a monitor that I will be using for creative work.

    I've been using this monitor for about a year now with a M1 MacBook and my new M3 MacBook. It looks great, it has wonderful color and accuracy. However, the famous Mac scaling problem...Your Mac will want to run this monitor with the UI sized at 1080p, which makes everything sharp but the UI is really big.
    The next best thing is running the UI scaled to 1440, which looks correct but the text is not great. It's readable, and it's fine, but if you spend the entire day reading it's not all that sharp and might annoy you with time. You can look up videos as to why this is, but basically Macs don't like 4k monitors. To get the UI right, it runs at 5k, then scales down to 4k. If you plug in this monitor and ask your Mac what resolution it's running, it will say 5k. The scaling down to 4k costs some of your performance, a few %, and the text suffers a bit. Maybe you won't mind, but you should know you're making a compromise on a 4k monitor to save some money, and it's an expensive monitor. I wish I wasn't misled by reviewers. This is a fantastic monitor for my Windows computer, and mediocre for my Mac.

      Its a great question, all I can figure is one should get the Studio Display if you have the means, otherwise this monitor is good. You just have to be ok with the compromises and know what you're getting so you're not mad and wish you got the Studio Display.
      You aren't going to get this monitor and plug it in and be like "hey this monitor is trash" cause it isn't, but you also aren't going to plug it in and be like "hey this monitor is perfect for my mac and really shows its full potential" cause it doesn't do that either.@@Lexlugr

    Great Video Thanks Is the quality on this Monitor better than the many "AirPlay" Monitors. I currently have the Samsung LS32A700NWNXZA. I like the monitor BUT need Apple Airplay2 (not for the TV but for Extending my Macbook Air Screen untethered. If the the Dell quality is so much better - I realize I dont get AIRPLAY but it will have additional ports so I can probable make it work. The Airplay is needed for Office Productivity. The Sansung I have only has 2 ports and they are both in use. I was looking at the M70A 4K UHD Smart Monitor which will meet the need I think -- but if I am going to get rid of a perfectly good monitor then I want to upgrade :) THANKS

    I bought the 27-inch version of this monitor. There wasn't setup documentation out of the box. I had to call technical support right off the bat, which didn't make me happy because you have to provide a "service tag" or serial number before they will even help you. For example, I had no idea how to get past the black menu that appeared on the monitor. It wasn't clear if the menu was controlled by some downloadable software or the monitor itself.
    To control monitor functions, there is a "joystick" button on the back. It's an okay monitor, but I expected more for this price point. I couldn't readily find the user documentation online.
    The instructions I did find, didn't match my display dialog box on my 2021 MacBook Pro, so the display setup was very confusing. You have to download a software manager to really control the display. I'm not real wild about the contrast on this display. This is why I like Apple so much because there is no futzing around to figure out to use something. It just works out of the box.
    I do like the ports hub on the back and the USB-C connection to the MacBook Pro is working well. I have also plugged in my Epson scanner to the back of the monitor. But, it's going to take some time to learn about and optimize the features of this display.

    Thanks for the review. Would be nice if you could put the dell side by side with the studio display for comparison. The Dell was on my shortlist and I almost almost got it.... until I took the plunge and went for the ASD instead I come from a 5kimac I just love the glossy screen experience and just didn't want to buy something that I might regret, and I agree with your comments about the fit and finish comparisons between the ASD and the rest, knowing that I will be staring at the next screen I buy for the next 6 to 7 years.
    I also read somewhere how macOS doesn't scale down well with 4k displays resulting in blurry text according to some users (compared to text which is scaled down on 5k and 2k displays). Has anyone noticed blurrier text?
    The dell is probably the best bang in the current market for Mac owners. It's kinda like choosing which camera to buy or any other tech. You can spend exponentially more for a only slightly better tech, but sometimes that's worth it to the user.

      @@BrandonMilner ​ tried to post a link but was deleted. There is a yt video and online charts that compare macos scaling on 5k, 4k and 2k displays. Im not a tech guy but my understanding is this:
      1) macos is more suited for downscaling to 5K or 2K displays (at the resolution that people "ideally" use i.e. not massive or too small icons/text) compared to 4K displays
      2) for 4K displays, whilst downscaling is definitely possible, macos has to work "harder" (something like it has to reduce the resolution by half for each cycle) to downscale the "ideal" resolution to fit 4K screens.
      3) This may result in a loss of performance - as the core is already performing the downscaling (on 4K monitors) in the first instance, in addition to other cpu/gpu intensive tasks that you might be doing at that time, like video editing etc. There is a loss in performance overall. You may not notice this if you are using general office apps.
      There is also another video that compares text resolution on 4K vs 5K, and there is a notable difference - at least if you come from a 5K imac.

    Thank you for this awesome review! I was looking at this monitor to use with my Late 2021 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max due to its specs. I do want HDR but, 400nits is a little weak as you were stating at 4:32. This and this alone looks to be the biggest downside for my needs. I do plan on using a monitor for editing with FCPX along with ON1 Photo Raw. I like the fact of 2000:1contrast ratio, 100% Rec 709 and 98% P3. Other than Apple, do you have any recommendations with similar specs but, closer to 500 - 600 nits for HDR? As always, I sincerely appreciate all of your reviews! Great job as always!! Thanks again. 👍😊

I refuse to get that studio display I just want as close to that specs as possible for around $600-700 max, I’ve been digging for days and came up with nothing so far looking like the 24MD4KL-B is my best bet and has 500 nits and was codesigned with Apple. They even sell it. Runs $699 but right now amazon have some around $650ish

    I'm waiting for a 2160p+ ultrawide with HDR and 120Hz+. Doesn't even need to support all of those at once - to support HDR, I'm fine with it dropping to "4K width", or for >60 Hz gaming it drops to 1/2-each-dimension resolution. (Say it was a 6144x2160 ultra-wide, crop off the sides to 4096 or 3840 for HDR, drop to 3072x1080 for 120+ Hz gaming mode.)
