Got the exact same monitor one month ago and I love it!! Great choice, Marko 👏 Recommend a monitor arm for sure, I personally decided to go for the Invision MX400 which seems to be great choice so far.
This is a great setup. I found myself in a similar Mac-related conundrum when I was upgrading from my 1080p ultrawide screen. I ended up buying a 4K 27" Dell U2720Q (the precursor to your (U2723QE). I liked it so much that I bought additional two, for a total of three 4K displays. I bought a Razer's GPU enclosure and a Radeon RX 580 GTS to drive them and I couldn't be happier. 1 thunderbolt cable to plug my Macbook in and out for an extra three displays. Sadly, I don't think Apple Silicon supports eGPUs anymore. The three screens are an absolute productivity powerhouse. I used to run them both in horizontal-horizontal-vertical and horizontal-horizontal-horizontal configurations and both were excellent. I would highly recommend it.
Great choice on the monitor. I would recommend adding a monitor riser and also not having the other walls painted black. Furthermore a couple plants on the desk and a stereo speaker set could be useful.
Your Macbook fitting just right in there between those 2 monitor stands was kind of satisfying... Still I would recommend to go with monitor arms, since it makes your desk a lot cleaner, not only for looks and astethics but also for simple desc space. For example you could have a sound bar / notepad / deco plants right under your floating monitors :)
great video Marko! I think the suggestions you made were very good - would definitely benefit from a desk mount and a desk shelf. keep up the great videos!
standing desk - monitor arm - fake plant - simple is the ultimate sophistication. I would go with a ultrawide - 32 now and I am just sharing apps not full screen or switching on mac monitor :) . My next monitor will be a 49 inch
I have the exact same model, and one thing that I hate about this setup is that the macbook doesn't support display port daisy chaining, because theoreticaly you should be able to plug in your mac with a single usb-c cable and have both monitors conected to it, but because Apple, you need 2 cables, also had a problem with the macos virtual desktops with 2 external monitors, at random the desktops that I have on my mac screen get switched with the desktops with the external "secondary"(not marked as the main) monitor, which is very anoying when you use virtual desktops to organize your windows
Yes, I've ran into the the same issue with daisy chaining... But as far as the workspaces getting re-arranged. In my case the solution was to mark on of the external displays as main. That way the windows stay mostly where I expect them to be.
Idk, maybe your setup works because you use the mac in "clamshell"(idk how to spell), but I use the mac open, and the Dell maked as the main monitor, so idk it's just very frustrating when I paid the price of a used car for my computer 🤡
To fix this problem I would recommend getting a Display Hub, connect your monitors to the hub and connect the single usb-c cable to your mac. That’s my setup and I haven’t faced any issues. I like these monitors, but I just love the new Lenovo ThinkVision 27 UHD monitors.
Did you test if you can daisy chain the monitors together without installing the DisplayLink software on MacOS. Would be nice to know how Dell implemented it.
Marko, when using 2 monitors instead of 1 superwide you have to click two times to take any action on the monitor that is not in use. Does that not bother you or is there a workaround for it?
vids from setup wars maybe if there's minimalist edition if you're into that will probably help for inspiration for your upcoming new desk setup! looking forward to see ur new desk setup tho😁
Great monitor choice! Have you considered getting a vertical desktop stand to avoid placing your MacBook beneath the monitor? Love your videos, cheers!
i have the same monitor in office of my company and there is 1 thing that i really want to add to it. 144hz. coz if u use macbook pro with pro motion display there is a contrast between 60 hz in monitor
Hey Marko, I was wondering where did you buy the table from? Or was it custom made? I have to make most sense of my 'home office', whilst the desk has to be in our living room, since I do not have a dedicated office room. And also, I would need really long desk, as my wife would also need the space for her laptop. Love the minimalistic look, something I am also looking forward to. I am bit 'stuck', because I bought the Alienware OLED (Ultrawide Monitor for gaming) and the current table does not offer the support to mount a monitor arm.. so looking into new table / desk. :)
Marko, this might be a stupid question, but you meantioned the screens act as hubs, so do you just connect all of your accessories (keyboard, mouse, etc) to the screen, and then your mac to the screen? I am planning on doing something similar so me and my girlfriend can both use the setup with our own macs without a big hassle. Thanks.
Definitely a good choice. Apple has pretty good products, but you're never sure if all the cables will be in or if they're calling $50 for it. I've also recently noticed that these newer Dell monitors look very good, because of those minimal bezels. IMO they're better than the Apple Studio Display.
hey marko screen you can attach a small speaker under the screen, that type of speaker is Dell brand: dell slim soundbar sb521a The sound quality sounds very good
Hi Marko. I am writing with a question to you. As a very experienced Software Engineer and a person who works in IT sphere for many years, can you please give your opinion about the career paths or jobs in IT, that will be really demanding and/or industries will face the lack of those specialists? I will be really grateful for your feedback!
Hey Mark, please can you suggest how can I learn such smooth and awesome video editing like you and the tools I can use. Can you make a video on detail on it please.
In my case going for a 27" 4k 144hz monitor changed the way I work. My 2nd one is a 27" 4k 60hz and I hate looking at it because of the lower refresh rate.
Ah, I had this internal debate for a long time whether to go with a higher refresh rate monitor. But in my case I couldn't find enough information out there about running a double 4k high refresh monitor setup on the mac, and it seemed like I might run into issues, so I decided to play it safe. Are you on the mac as well?
@@withmarko The battery degradation is real when it comes to running one 27 4k 60hz and second 27 4k 144hz and unplugged. It's noticeably faster (battery degradation) than with dual 4k 60hz. Any performance issues? Nothing noticeable when it comes to CPU usage (that's probably how it should be). GPU % usage I haven't tested yet but I do frontend and I don't get any visible issues. About double 4k 144hz I can't say anything as for now I only have 4k 144hz and 4k 60hz and for now, I don't feel a need to buy another 4k 144hz because 90% of my work is done on 4k 144hz and the rest is on 4k 60hz (Slack, Jira, ChatGPT, Pomodoro, etc.) I'm on an MB Pro M1 14 base model. LG27GP950 and LG27UP850 or something.
@@bartzalewskidev hey dude. Is the text sharp enough on your 4k 144hz? I have a QHD here but I am pretty unhappy with it and just like you, Id hate to go back to 60hz
@@rotivanov The display quality is remarkably comparable to that of a Retina display to the extent that the differences are nearly indiscernible. However, it's crucial to select a 27-inch model, as this size offers a 4K resolution with a density of 163 DPI, which is often referred to as mini-HiDPI. This feature ensures sharper, clearer images without visible pixels, as opposed to the lower clarity I experienced with QHD. In making my choice, I was torn between the LG 27GP950-B and the Gigabyte M28U. Although the M28U was enticing, being $400 less expensive, it offers a slightly lower DPI of less than 160. Ultimately, I opted for the LG model because having a mini-HiDPI display was a priority for me to guarantee the level of clarity I needed.
I would recommend a dual monitor mount to keep both displays level, a nice mouse pad would do your setup wonders. lastly maybe some speakers if you dont want to listen to the mac speakers
Hi, after a year or more do you still recommend it as a monitor? I would like to buy it to use with a mac mini m2 pro. I am especially interested in how you find programming with this monitor since I would also use it for this purpose. Thanks
I have the same monitors and I use on the wall is amazing monitors and for montage video and also for video games. Thank you sharing this video love from Greece I can’t wait next your video ❤️
Definetly add monitor arms this would help with one stand and cable management + docking station. EDIT: Just got to the part of the video where u mentioned it :D...
Nice video Marko! Excellent quality as always.I have a question, is the mouse mx master 3s very fluid? Because in Windows I do very well, but on Mac it is not completely fluid. When I connect it via bluetooth
Hi Marco, I've been following you for a while and I really like your content. I personally do repairs around the house and I have two monitors that I consider, and recommend to you, to hang on the wall. The other option is obviously to use monitor arm for the both monitors, but I personally like the idea of not seeing the stand.
A monitor arm would be really nice. an other thing that you could try is if it is possible to remove the laptop from the table. so it is only the two monitors keyboard and mouse on the table. That would give you a minimal look, and increase focus on the task at hand.
Beautiful setup Marko! I prefer one 4k monitor between 27" and 31", I'm used to using macOS's Spaces, key shortcuts to my fav apps (Raycast app allows me to) and Arc browser. Cheers from Argentina!
You made the right choice. I am using Dell Ultrasharp 27 series for mac for a few year s now and could not be happier. The downside is, it is impossible to use them in 4K resolution with mac.
Hey I didn't have any issue with scaling, but honestly I used it on the native resolution. I did try using a scaled up view, and it was fine. Maybe not as sharp as this Dell, but not very blurry in distracting way.
Monitor arms will definitely help to free up space. Desk shelves will let you hide unnecessary items on your desk (books, macbook, pens, etc.). Instead of using tape, you could invest in reusable velcro tape for the cables - makes it easier to re-adjust whenever you need to. Not sure about your cables situation under the desk, but personally I use a cable management tray and just chuck the power strip in there along with any stray cables
Productivity increase for sure, but I am mad that you have to use two USB-C ports to handle two displays. Have you tried daisy-chaining them and connect them using single USB-C port?
Hey good question! I did try daisy chaining them, but MacBooks don’t support it fully. The furthest I got was to have them mirror each other. Seems like daisy chaining doesn’t work through usbc on the Mac, only thunderbolt 4, and this monitor isn’t thunderbolt. The monitor supports daisy chain though and in 2 different ways: usb-c and also display port master/slave. But usb c didn’t work with the Mac and while the display port daisy chain worked, because Mac doesn’t support the master / slave feature, they are just mirroring each other.
@@withmarko Yes i think there is this thing called multi-stream or something else but it kinda converts the usb-c via display port into 2 HDMI ports for example ( on most usb-c hubs atleast ) and mac only supports thunderbolt docks in that matter. Basically only "real" ports.
I'm using what is essentially the previous generation of your monitors (U2718q). A major issue with this model was the "dead pixel" - a single white pixel on the monitor which occurs about 1 month into use. Happened to my monitor. Not the end of the world, but kind of annoying on a $650 CAD... Wondering if you've experienced that issue on the newer version? Great set up BTW.
@@withmarko oh very nice! Would you mind showing it in a future video with the 2 displays working? I have an m2 pro myself but my current Dock will only mirror the displays, so I’m trying to decide what dock to get to replace it!
Marko get two of those Gas monitor arms, make sure to buy two separate signle monitor arm and not a "double" since it's WAY easier to setup the monitors. I bought them for my setup and I will never go back
Hey there Marko. I loved your previous setup and mostly the new one. Please, can I ask that you please give me your old system or monitor, I will highly appreciate it. I'm so sorry if this may seem embarrassing but, it's important to me.
Good afternoon Marko! I know this is off topic in the video in question, but I wanted to know if you, before entering the world of programming, had difficulty learning programming logic? Thanks in advance!
Hey awesome setup, how do you bypass only display 1 monitor on M chips? are you using Display link? :) or is there a new solution to this problem, if we want more than 1 screen on a macbook m chip?
He is using Macbook Pro 14 inch with at least M1 Pro. Can connect up to 4 external monitors if I'm not mistaken without the dock. The single monitor limitation only applied to Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 13 inch.
I am going to start learning the backend and I am very, very confused. I want someone to tell me whether to start with C# or Javascript. What is required in the labor market? Do you advise me to start with it? I hope you would answer me and tell me what to start with. I am confused, my friend, and thank you.
AAAAH the well known desk setup optimization disorder DSOD as I'd like to name it. Currently in it cause just got a new dasktop pc which is way to powerful for my dual 1080p monitors (not to mention how ugly they feel when plugged with my mac ew and that gap with the monitor arm cause the vesa mount is not placed the same on both) I'm kinda kneeling towards a tripple monitor layout with either two one on top of the other in landscape then the third on the side vertically or the classical three way landscape setup... Can't wait to see how you gonna do it on your desk !
Hahaha DSOD 😂 Wow I would love to see that triple monitor setup, man! I'd personally probably go with a three way landscape, but curious how you will do it!
If I were you, I would put the monitors on a wall holder and add some cool pixel clock somewhere on the table and I would also add some plant like monstera, to feel more like you're in nature.
Hey thank you for the suggestions! I am unfortunately unable to place them on the wall, since the landlord doesn't allow drilling the wall, but I actually do have a pixel clock and I will add it when I also add a desk shelf. 😃
Good starting setup Marko, Maybe you need a large mouse pad like a fancy carpet👍 I have a question about the HDMI cable that you got with the monitors, Did your PC have a plug-in for it already? Or must you buy a unique converter for it?
Definitely monitor arms! They are a life saver for supporting my posture and positioning at the desk, don’t know what I would do without them.
Got the exact same monitor one month ago and I love it!! Great choice, Marko 👏

@@withmarko Yes i think there is this thing called multi-stream or something else but it kinda converts the usb-c via display port into 2 HDMI ports for example ( on most usb-c hubs atleast ) and mac only supports thunderbolt docks in that matter. Basically only "real" ports.
Yep pretty much. I hope Apple fixes this, but it provides a selling point for their monitors, and because of that I have doubts they will ever do it 😄
Nice and clean set up
Thanks! 😊
I'm using what is essentially the previous generation of your monitors (U2718q). A major issue with this model was the "dead pixel" - a single white pixel on the monitor which occurs about 1 month into use. Happened to my monitor. Not the end of the world, but kind of annoying on a $650 CAD... Wondering if you've experienced that issue on the newer version? Great set up BTW.
What kind of monitor did you buy
Do you plan to add a Dock instead of having to plug a cable per monitor?
Yes, I actually have a dock I got from ugreen, that I have been using at work, but I will bring it home one of these days 😄
@@withmarko oh very nice! Would you mind showing it in a future video with the 2 displays working? I have an m2 pro myself but my current Dock will only mirror the displays, so I’m trying to decide what dock to get to replace it!
Is it the “UGREEN Revodok Pro” ?
Hey of course, the dock is this one. And it works great with 2 external monitors:

Marko get two of those Gas monitor arms, make sure to buy two separate signle monitor arm and not a "double" since it's WAY easier to setup the monitors. I bought them for my setup and I will never go back
amazing video marko.
Thanks! 😊
How would you rate this setup after 4 months?
are you experiencing flickering with macbook pro from time to time? my P32 series I had to return it
Hey no, not so far :)
Hey there Marko.
I loved your previous setup and mostly the new one.
Please, can I ask that you please give me your old system or monitor, I will highly appreciate it.
I'm so sorry if this may seem embarrassing but, it's important to me.
Good afternoon Marko! I know this is off topic in the video in question, but I wanted to know if you, before entering the world of programming, had difficulty learning programming logic? Thanks in advance!
Does he using calmshell mode to connect with external monitor while MacBook is closed and always connect to charging??
Hey awesome setup, how do you bypass only display 1 monitor on M chips? are you using Display link? :) or is there a new solution to this problem, if we want more than 1 screen on a macbook m chip?
He is using Macbook Pro 14 inch with at least M1 Pro. Can connect up to 4 external monitors if I'm not mistaken without the dock. The single monitor limitation only applied to Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 13 inch.
I am going to start learning the backend and I am very, very confused. I want someone to tell me whether to start with C# or Javascript. What is required in the labor market? Do you advise me to start with it? I hope you would answer me and tell me what to start with. I am confused, my friend, and thank you.
If you want to learn JavaScript for the backend NestJS is a nice framework for building REST APIs
nice, buying one in a few weeks!
Awesome, I'm excited for you! 👍
what are you supposed to do now with LG dual monitor?
But am I mistaken or the blue color of the wallpaper is not in the pack?
It is in the pack, it's called Deep Purple 😃
AAAAH the well known desk setup optimization disorder DSOD as I'd like to name it. Currently in it cause just got a new dasktop pc which is way to powerful for my dual 1080p monitors (not to mention how ugly they feel when plugged with my mac ew and that gap with the monitor arm cause the vesa mount is not placed the same on both) I'm kinda kneeling towards a tripple monitor layout with either two one on top of the other in landscape then the third on the side vertically or the classical three way landscape setup... Can't wait to see how you gonna do it on your desk !
Hahaha DSOD 😂 Wow I would love to see that triple monitor setup, man! I'd personally probably go with a three way landscape, but curious how you will do it!
If I were you, I would put the monitors on a wall holder and add some cool pixel clock somewhere on the table and I would also add some plant like monstera, to feel more like you're in nature.
Hey thank you for the suggestions! I am unfortunately unable to place them on the wall, since the landlord doesn't allow drilling the wall, but I actually do have a pixel clock and I will add it when I also add a desk shelf. 😃
@@withmarko There's also a double monitor stand that can be mounted to the desk 👍
Do you have any screen scratch because macbook's keyboard when using when closing the lid? @marko
Thank you!
Good starting setup Marko,
Maybe you need a large mouse pad like a fancy carpet👍
I have a question about the HDMI cable that you got with the monitors,
Did your PC have a plug-in for it already?
Or must you buy a unique converter for it?
