Our review
The U2723QE is a 3840-by-2160, 60 Hz office monitor built around Dell’s IPS Black panel with 2000:1 contrast and 400-nit brightness in the listing. The port set includes USB-C upstream with DisplayPort Alt Mode, HDMI, DisplayPort in and out, a LAN jack, and multiple USB 3.2 downstream ports.
Reviewers consistently praise sharp 4K text, dark blacks for IPS, and one-cable laptop docking with the built-in hub. Color accuracy and clean bezels make it a common pick for MacBook and Windows laptops alike when calibration and productivity matter more than gaming refresh.
Complaints include occasional USB-C connection glitches that need a restart, weak integrated speakers, and mixed opinions on value for the money. It remains 60 Hz with 5 ms GTG response, so fast competitive gaming is not the goal. Skip if you need OLED contrast or high refresh.
