I needed help convincing myself to buy this monitor so I looked it up on RU-vid and found your video. Your explanations were clear and brief. I get annoyed when I have to skim through a product video that's 20 minutes long. Initially I wanted to buy the thunderbolt dock station with two monitors but the dock station on the Dell website reports it won't arrive for 2 months. So I looked into larger screens that would eliminate the need for two monitors and the dock station. I thought the Dell U4320Q 43" 4k display would just help with multitasking. This video made me aware of all the other functionalities this display has to offer; the dell display manager (uhm, how did I not know about this?), ability to charge your laptop, and can connect to (as well as display) more than one computer at the same time. Also, I didn't even know how useful the Dell Multi Device Wireless Mouse & Keyboard was so I added that to my purchase. I just wish the keyboard was backlit. Thanks so much for this helpful video. I also subscribed. Looking forward to more content that you upload!
Hey nice vid on the U4323QE model and it’s usability. Maybe you can answer my simple questions, I asked on Dell’s website and got a generic cut and paste answer about the opposite of what I was asking. Question 1: is there any aftermarket kit to be able to rotate these into portrait view, utilizing the original stand? Question 2: how could Dell not think we would to be able to use these in portrait view and why not give us the ability to do so? Question 3: (this is the one I asked and got the opposite answer on) if I have multiples of these can each one have it’s own input device such as it’s own mouse. Or to say can I plug a mouse directly to the monitor will it work independent of the PC and it’s input devices? To give you more details on the setup I want to setup. Day Trading Futures or Stocks, three of these units horizontal, the center monitor would be used for active watch, study, and execution. The other two, one on each side would be other instruments I’m following but not actively trading at the moment, but want to be able to quickly glance at them without switching my main execution screen, or having to move one input device from the main execution screen to the others if I wanted to click a chart to enlarge it or change any parameters of the chart. So could the secondary monitors have there own mouse or even keyboard or StreamDeck for HotKey inputs? Let me know and it’s would be nice if I had a more direct way of contacting your with other questions and ideals to improve Dells producers for the traders in need.
I like this Mike O’Hanian guy, I keep watching his videos and he’s got a good way of explaining stuff and working in a little laugh every once in a while.
Like one of the other folks that spoke up about this video and the monitor, I too had reservations about the cost. But after doing the research and figuring out that I needed to balance both work and home life in the same space. It is worth every dime I spent. It will provide that balance I need while lowering my TCO for Energy and taking up the same or less space. I needed this monitor.
Thank you! For my work sett up I switch monitors ever couple of months; I like to test real world longer term use. I just finished my "real world" test of the U4320Q. I miss all the real estate the U43 gave me. I am now testing the U32 4K display now (with U27" as a side kick)
Great video -- only one question; I did not quite catch how easy it is to switch between the two computers, rather than a picture by picture? Can I set this up to switch via a keyboard shortcut hot key? As in, two computers connected to the monitor, and I want to work on one, then the other, how easy is the switch between the two?
Thank you Peter! The U4320Q does not have built in KVM so I used Dell Display Manager to program keys to switch between computers and I used the Dell Multi-Mouse and Keyboard to switch the PC's they were controlling. I used Control+Alt+H to switch to the "Home PC" being on the display. Then I used the buttons on my Multi PC mouse and keyboard to switch to the same "Home PC". Jumping back I would do a Control+ALT+W to jump back to the "Work PC" and then do the same on the mouse and keyboard. Once you have it set up it is very easy and quick to jump back and forth.
Came here for the monitor. Looking to get one. But I would suggest changing your keyboard and mouse to Logitech MX Master, once you connect your mouse to both PC, it can just slide over to the other PC without changing the 1,2,3. So much easier. Not sure if it works with other logitech mouse but MX Master does for sure.
They are going to love it. I had to send mine back to Austin when I was done making the RU-vid video. I am using the U43..nice display but I would much rather have the U40.
I want to buy this. I have a 27" dell with 2k res and i think this has the perfect ppi for my daily use with 100% scaling. My question is if on this 43", that has approximately the same ppi ( 109 vs 103 ), has the same sharpness over icons,fonts etc. Now i'm not too sure what to buy between this and 32" inch 4k (U3219Q). On 32" i'll have to use like 125%,150% scaling.
Not an easy choice. There is a huge fan base on the U43 but it lacks KVM. I would go with the U32 with KVM. If KVM is not important to you I would go with the U43. Either way they are both excellent choices.
There is a newer model of this. My organization uses Microsoft Teams. For screen sharing on Teams, can you share only one screen if you have two or more opened on the display, or will Teams display the whole monitor? I’m trying to see whether this works for working from home or if I need a multiple-monitor set-up. Thank you.
Using a monitor as a hub is a really nice idea. Could be improved if the Display had a usb port or bluetooth to bundle all the inputs together, because some people also use Webcams, and not everyone wants to buy a Bluetooth multi device keyboard and mouse. Then have a small pad on the display (prob on the base) to tap when switching controls.
KM switch not a KVM switch for that application. Mouse without boarders if the computers are on the same network or BlackBox Freedom II works great for a more secure environment.
Thank you for all the answers. I bought one 3 months ago and have been loving this so far. I am planning to buy another one. QQ - How will I be able to use 2 U4230Q with a single laptop? Can I connect 2 usb-c ports to the same laptop from different monitors?
Mike, It would be worth mentioning that only if the 5550 has an Intel graphics card with the USB - C connection provide enough power (90W) to run it. If the 5550 has a NVIDIA card, the machine needs 130 W so you will have to use the power adapter.
That was the point I was trying to say. You can hook any system to the USB-C but if the device requires more than 90W it will be a slow charge and you may not be able to change the battery fast enough to keep up with the drainage. Will not hurt the system, it would just be annoying.
That keyboard is on another level. I tried with a cheap Chinese one from amazon but trust me this one is on another level. I really love the monitor too.
@@Justenphelps no sir I am serious. I have used dell monitors since 2001 and they all have been fantasic! heck I still have my 30 inch 2560x1600 that I retired for this 4k monster!
Great explanation. Two questions. Does this remove the need for a docking station essentially? Also will this monitor work for me. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro and a precision 5530. The MacBook is probably my more frequently used computer but I use both frequently. I want to be able to seamlessly switch between the two or use both side by side using a multi computer laptop and mouse?
Q1. A1: For the most part, yes. If you needed RJ-45 port or had a system that needs more than 90W of power then I would recommend a docking station. Q2 A2: You can do this, and would recommend using Dell Display Manager (free download). You would also need a multi systems mouse and keyboard. The U4320Q does not have a built in KVM.
Great reviews! I did get the new Dell 40” wide but I’m getting 60 Hz refresh on DP and only 30 Hz on USB-C. I’m trying to figure out why. It’s an expensive monitor. Do you prefer the 40” wide or this 43”
Thanks John! If you are running at 30Hz is usually is an issue with the graphic card on your system. If you don't have a discrete GPU (vs integrated GPU) your systems may not have enough GPU to display that much at 60Hz. Second question: Personally I prefer the U40 Wide. I used the U4320Q for my personally work use for a few months. The issue I had is my desk seat was too short and my eye level was in the middle of the display This had me looking up all day. Eye level should be at the top of the display. If I had a taller desk seat it would have been a harder decision.
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. There's hundreds of reviews out there with specs, but I'm looking for a solution to the world we're living in. You provide it here. Showing the PbP was particularly interesting to me. Do most Dell monitors have this functionality?
@@MichaelOHanian DDM can split screen from 2 source same like PbP/PiP if monitor no this features...? Hope u make video n explain about PbP/PiP/KVM and Dell Display Manager.
Hey Michael. Many thanks for your review, my wife has ordered this exact model (We watched your video first, so was very helpful. I have a question you may be able to answer... Would the USB A ports be able to utilize a keyboard and mouse dongle/reciever ? Just curious as to this working. It would be great to just plug in one cable via the USB C for display + charging and not have to use adaptors for the dongles as the Dell XPS laptop only has USB C ports. I hope all this makes sense ! We are living in New Zealand and Dell have given us an estimated delivery time of two months ! We paid $1700 NZD. The selling point for us was the USB C charging and display option (we hate cables) and crisp 4k screen, also the support we have recieved from Dell has been amazing so far. We also have a 49" curved monitor which is great for productivity. Take care and hope to here from you. Kindest regards Ron.
Hi Ron, Thank you for choosing Dell! You can. The PC you have connected via the USB-C port can utilize the USB-A downstream port on the display. However, this display does not have KVM built into it. So connecting a second or third PC to the monitor will not be able to utilize that USB-A downstream port for the second and third PC. In the video I used the Dell Multi-Device wireless mouse and keyboard KM7321W. I connect one pc via the wireless USB-A adapter connected to the displays USB-A downstream port. The other PC I connected the mouse and keyboard via Blue Tooth. If you are doing two or more PC's connected to this display I highly recommend the KM7321W. I did a RU-vid video on this mouse and keyboard: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3vXMpJBQsIM.html
Hi Michael! I bought the same screen and it's on the way. I wonder if it comes with built-in speakers, say, I'm not fanatic in terms of sound quality, but when I connect my laptop as you do, can I hear videos/music from the screen?
Mike, I understand this monitor is not a TV but assume if I plug my wireless TV box into an HDMI port the TV would display. Also would like to connect a Mac Mini which I would do via USB C. Not looking to display both at once, rather maximising desk space vs my current 43" Samsung TV and a separate monitor for the Mac.Thanks.
Hi Michael. Many thanks for this video. I used it to set up my U3219Q for KVM. I have a question that I hope you can answer. You mention using a keyboard hot key to toggle between displays. I am not sure how to do that, and the monitor documentation doesn't really describe how to set/use this functionality. Can you help me with this? Am connecting monitor to two macs, so I think Display Manager is not available to me. Many thanks.
How does the audio setup work with 2 computers? Both using external speakers and Monitor speakers. Also, how is the dell keyboard connection? Using USB on the monitor? Thanks for the video. I plan to pick one up.
The speakers go to the system that is active as you jump back and forth between systems. Yes, the mouse is connected tot he USB Downstream port on the monitor.
I would not recommend it for high end professional designers. There are better Dell monitors for them. If you are a general use designer, it is a great, wonderfully large display at a great price point.
Hi @Michael O'Hanian; I want to plug in dp cable and hdmi cable connection with 4k sat-receiver. Can i watch tv channels and get internal speaker sound? I suppose there are 2 8watt speaker in it. Thanks in advance
Hi Michael, I want to use the U4320Q monitor as a 1 PC 2 monitor setup. I have connected one DP and one HDMI to the same PC (Dell XPS 8940). I used the Dell Display manager 2 to split the screen vertically in 2 . But the PC cannot detect another monitor and the mouse cannot go to the other window like it would in a real 2 monitor setup. Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video Michael! I am interested in buying this monitor, i'll use it for photo editing and 3d animation work, and occasionally I play Flight Simulator :) I am wondering how the gaming graphics would respond on this monitor and do you think its good for detailed 3D work? i meant does quality of text looks good?, and I hope it wont cause eye strain.
Thank you! U4320Q is great choice and is TUV (flicker free/good on the eyes). The U3219Q would be good choice as well. U3219Q might be a better choice because is it VESA certified DisplayHDR™ 400. If you want to jump another level the Dell UltraSharp with PremierColor (UP3218K, UP3216Q, UP2718Q, UP2720Q, UP3017, UP2716D) are the state-of-the art monitors for color professionals. For the Flight Simulator, you should be good. If you were talking about first person shooter games, it is all about refresh rate and 4K is not ideal.
Hello! Could you please explain... I know I can work with four different computers on the screen, but can I copy a file on one computer and transfer it to another? Thank you very much! Vito
Mike, gotta say this was very well presented- to the point no bs. Maybe you have found a new calling in reviewing products. What are your thoughts on two separate 27" monitors side by side or would you be happy with this setup; 43" with PbP?
Thank you Ozzie! I do these for fun and I am surprised anyone watches them . Got bored with COVID lock down and one of my colleagues suggested I tape one of my "play sessions". I love to get my hands dirty and play with the new technology. Nevertheless, back to your question. There is nothing wrong with two 27", and a lot of people prefer it over a single curved display. Usually because some applications like to dominate a full screen even if you have a screen carved up by software (like Dell Display Manager). However, if I was given the choice between two 27's or the U4320Q I would go with the U4320Q. Why? I love the vertical and horizontal height, PnP/PbP, KVM, and it is 5K'ish.
Does the U4320Q take a larger version of Dells monitor stand attachment system? I'm not sure what that system is technically called or how many sizes of it exist. Thanks
Mike, I am very interested in this monitor. I have one chief concern. I've spent a couple years looking for the right mouse and keyboard for my requirements. I have them. However, they are not the Dell multi-device keyboard or the multi-device mouse. Is the mouse and keyboard featured in this video a requirement? Can we utilize this monitor with all of its benefits with a different mouse and keyboard?
We just released the new version of this display. The U4323QE. This one has built in KVM, which the U4320Q lacked. This will make is much easer to use any mouse and keyboard that you want. www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-43-4k-usb-c-hub-monitor-u4323qe/apd/210-bfpo/monitors-monitor-accessories
Thanks for the video. I am developer and my main concern is the size of the pixel. I am very happy with my U2720Q and am thinking between buying another U2720Q or U4320Q. I don't want a curve monitor due to the resolution it has. I am using 3840 x 2160 with my MacBook Pro.
People either love or hate the U43. It comes down to if you like one big display or two displays. Being a Macbook user, 2 U27's with the WD19TB dock is very popular. The Dell WD19TB (thunderbolt) dock is Apple certificated and supports dual extended displays and you can still have the Macbook display open (net 3 screens).
Suppose your pc1 video has music you want to hear. When you use pbp and switch back to pc2 to work on spreadsheet, can you still hear the video from pc1? If both systems are using audio, which is played over the display speakers?
Hi Mike, what's the best way to setup 2x U4320Q monitors to switch between, 1 dell laptop, 1 desktop pc.. the laptop only has 1USB-C, 1 HDMI. The desktop has a 4x DP graphics card. Can i daisy link screen to screen on the laptop.
I’m looking to purchase this model or the ultra 38” this week.When you connect the laptop with USB-c, can you use hdmi instead or convert if the laptop doesn’t have usb-c?
Michael, I your laptop does not have USB-C you will loose out of a lot benefits on a single cable USB-C solution brings. You can hook your PC through the HDMI and a second USB upstream port. You will have to connect your laptop to your AC adapter as well.
Hey Michael great video, I've been looking for this shortcut switch feature for a while, currently own 2x Dell u2715h and a single 32 benq that has a physical switch between 3 computers. Love the picture quality in the 2 ultrasharp 27, I'm looking to upgrade to something with the same picture quality and color accuracy and this easy switch, I have 2 Mac and 2 pcs the only monitors that do match the color quality of my Mac laptop display so far are the u2715h, that's a must have for me. Questions: -Would the keyboard shortcut screen switch between devices you shown work on Mac? Pc? -would the color accuracy be as good as the one in my u2715h in either the u3220 or the u4320 mentioned in video/comments? if not, what Lineup of dell would be best in ppi quality and color accuracy but also have this switch feature. I'm a graphic designer, developer and photographer in my free time so you may get my requirement of quality. - how many computers could I connect to one monitor like these?
I did test the keyboard/mouse with an iPad and it worked, so there should not be any issue with a MAC. On the U2715H, both the U4320Q and the U3219Q are 4K vs QHD on the U2715H. The U4320Q would be a better match to the U2715H. The U3219Q is an HDR400 (going to better picture than you U2715H). You may want to take a look at our Dell PremierColor monitors, such as the UP3017, UP2720Q, and UP3221Q.
@@MichaelOHanian I guess what I'm wondering is: Would Dell's Display Manager App *the one you use to create shortcuts to switch inputs, work on MAC? Normally Dell's software isn't Mac OSX compatible, mostly will just be found for PC. Thanks for your recommendations, definitely the UP3221Q is awesome, but way out of my budget.
Hi Michael, I have a question on whether Dell would consider adding a PBP configuration that allows 3 input sources: one input in a portrait 1280 x 2160 resolution, two inputs in landscape in 2560 x 1080 configuration. Basically having two “ultrawide” monitors besides a vertical monitor. I adopted this configuration virtually using PowerToys and I found it very useful. I figured it would be useful in a split screen configuration. I was wondering if it could be added in the future in a future version of the 43in 4K monitors or maybe in the current ones via firmware?
Great video, Mike. I bought the 4320q after seeing your demo here for exactly this application. Once question, however. I have a Surface Book Pro laptop (3:2 aspect ratio) and a Dell 7420 latitiu laptop as my 2 inputs. I connected those in PBP mode just as you showed here, however with each side of the PBP an extension of the corresponding input laptop's desktop. The issue I am confronted with is that on each side of the PBP divide, the video is just a horizontal rectangle (large black areas above and below) and does not consume the entire area top to bottom. I have tried various settings on both the DDM and windows 10 dispay manager to resolve, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks very much
Hi Michael, can you please tell me, in this video is the scaling set to standard 100%, or increased? I am concerned about having to increase the scaling to make this monitor practical in light of my desk size and seating distance. Thank you.
Hi Michael, please ask Dell to create a utility to split up large Dell monitors into separate virtual monitors. I mean real monitors where windows thinks I have several monitors and by doing that you can make RU-vid and Netflix FULL SCREEN on any of those. I currently use a 32:9 , 49" Dell and I love it and I split the screen lots of windows but I cannot make any of them play full screen video in its own section. There are some 3rd party apps that do this but none of them work right.
Stay tuned. There is a new technology in the new U series displays that I believe can do this. When I was at Dell Technologies World a couple of weeks ago I was speaking with our (Dell) display PLMs and they were telling me about this new technology. I am about to do a video on our rugged table and after that I will do a video on one of our new displays. I will test this feature out.
@@MichaelOHanian agreed, this feature was incredibly necessary when the 4K monitors first came out. We are like 10 years late but I'm glad to hear there are some thoughts being put into this. Hopefully Windows 11 incorporates this basic essential necessity.
Lack of KVM is disappointing. The other issues I've read is brightness is low 1000:1; the other issue if you move the monitor further back on your desk due to size it may be too far to get a bluetooth connection for you keyboard/mouse. It does have an IPS screen. I'll wait for the next and newer version of the Dell 43 inch 4K display which I'm guessing should be released early next year.
@@MichaelOHanian Thanks for the reply I wish they would make it in a 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. A 16:10 gives you much more vertical space and less scrolling is required and it’s much more productive. Especially for stock traders that’s why they have a few screens set up vertically but I don’t like the gap in the middle with two vertical screens but a 43 inch with 16:10 aspect ratio would be wonderful.
@@MichaelOHanian I’ve noticed the U4324Q is released but PPI of 103.5 is low and causes artefacts the 350 nits is low as well and 60Hz should be 120Hz. Will the U4334Q you mention will be better?
thanks for the review; i'm considering a U4320Q over the U2720Q because the U2720Q is on back-order; (a 43" monitor is looking more enticing than a 32" monitor); looking for a 4K monitor for a Mac Mini (M1) ... i'm content with Dell; also, have a P2715Q, but, my son has commandeered it for his laptop/school combo ...
U43 is a great choice! A few of my buddies use it as their primary display and they would refuse to ever give it up. I use the the U38 Curve with the the U27 for my work setup.
Thanks for the video. I have this monitor. I notice the size of the windows and applications when I hook up my laptop is enormous. Is there a way to keep it the same size as my laptop, so it does not scale to the size of the 43-inch monitor?
I'm considering purchasing this monitor as a replacement for Samsung Monitor. The Samsung monitor has two inputs connected to the same PC so my computer thinks it has two monitors connected to it which allows me to seamlessly scroll between the two logical screens. Does this Dell monitor have this ability ?
The new version of Dell Display Manager allows you to seamlessly scroll between to logical screens. It didn't have that feature when I made this video.
Great and professional review. I just want to confirm on one point. You said that you can connect up to 4 machines to this monitor. However, you showed us 2 machines only in this video. Would you please explain. Thanks a lot
One downside to the U43 is that it doesn't have a KVM built into it. In the video I was using the Dell Multi-device Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo (KM7120W) to switch back-and-forth. The KM7120W can connect up to 3 PC. If you wanted to do 4 PC's on the the U43 you would have to get a KVM to do that.
It is the max it will charge. The XPS17, depending on the configuration you have, may need more than 90W. In that case, it will slow charge the system. If you were to push the XPS17 hard, it is possible that you would use more power than you are replacing in the battery and at some point you will run out of battery (system would shut down). It will not hurt the system.
I have and it got annoying that it would switch computers when I’d accidentally drag the mouse the edge of the screen, and it doesn’t move over instantly. Good idea, but I like the mouse and keyboard that you click a button and switch machines. Yes logitech has those too but so do many others including Dell. Flow is unique to logitech and didn’t work well for me.
That is a tough one. Depends what type of user you are. If you like a single screen and like to move applications around, I would say the U43. If you feel like you are a dual screen person, that is, this application goes to this screen and that application goes to the other screen, then I would say the U49 would be better fit. I am a wide screen person. My work setup is a U38 with a U27. My friend and I debate this all the time. He is a U43 user and loves it, and he does not like curved.
No. You will need a mouse and keyboard that has multiple PC support. Such as the Dell KM7321W or the Dell KM900. We did launched and update to this display the U4323QE that has built-in KVM. With the new one you can use any mouse and keyboard.
you should be. It can also depend on the GPU/CPU you have in the laptop. But if you screen is 4K you usually can support 4K externally. Worst that will happen is the refresh rate drops down from 60Hz to ~30Hz.
I have had problems with dell display manager through HDMI input, does the display manager only work when laptop is connected to USB-C port and not HDMI?
I’d want something like this, but not 43” lol. Maybe 27 or 32”. I only use two MacBook pros and have one plugged in at a time. Just trading off one multi port adapter lol
Dell has the WD19TB Thunderbolt dock that is Apple Certified and supports dual extended displays (and you can have the MacBook Pro screen on as well). Here is a clip from BsianDad setting up the MacBook with the WD19TB ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zaklZRFzKLo.html
I have a Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP for the last 14-15 years. Time to change, I'm wondering if this 43" is as good. I bought a 27" 1440p, I cant see nothing when at 100% text, mucho too small. There's no demo in stores to see what would a 43"-4k would look.
@@bobmusikk there is no "standard" PPI anymore I am afraid. With raster graphics I understand that scaling artifacts might be a problem though. About "native" PPI on a 43" 4K screen things are very simple: it's identical as on a "traditional" 16:9 21.5" FullHD screen (it's like 4 of those put together), which to me would mean things being large enough.
@@bobmusikk I think I'll go with a 32" UHD 16:9, 43" seems a bit too large and PPI is a bit outdated. 32" will still be over 4x the real estate of my laptop 14" FHD screen.
Great Video Mike interesting to be able to keyboard switch. I use a Mac Thunderbolt display as a dual monitor to my 27" IMAC 5K display, works great. I bought the Dell Thunderbolt dock and Both the Startech and Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adaptors to be able to use the Apple thunderbolt display with my New Dell Inspiron work laptop which supports video out thru the USB C port. Unfortunately it never connects and gives me a thunderbolt error message on my Dell laptop. I know the dock works as i have tried it using to HDMI Dell Monitors but this monitor could maybe connect to my IMAC using USB C... Interesting thanks for posting
@@MichaelOHanian Yep it does have the Thunderbolt Port. I’m fortunate that I work for a large corporation and have access to Dell corporate support. They tried everything to get it connected but to no avail, the tech guys were great form Dell. Most likely I will invest in the same monitor you have there. We took our simulators virtually into the cloud for teaching clients all over the world because of Covid-19 travel restrictions. Needing screen real estate is a must when trying to teach this way. Most likely I will order this same monitor, it looks sharp.
Wow, Michael! You're killin' me with your super slick Dell monitors! It appears you are using multiple different Dell monitors, each getting larger and better. Plus all able to have that feature of showing content from 2 different computers at the same time. Is this U4320Q 43" model your current favorite?
Casey, I am blessed to be able to play with all our displays. There is a huge fanbase for the U4320Q. But for me (If we are talking home office) my favorite is the new U4021QW. I cannot find one weakness (other than it is expensive) in the design and capabilities. I have one coming to me in the next few week that I will be making another video on. www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-40-curved-wuhd-monitor-u4021qw/apd/210-aykx/monitors-monitor-accessories
@@MichaelOHanian Wow, Michael! That new 5K monitor looks awesome! The price tag is scary too, haha! For my own use case, I'm interested in the Dell monitor being able to show content from 2 different laptop computers at the same time (so I don't need to use a physical HDMI switcher device anymore). Actually the Dell monitor is better because it can show content from 2 separate computers on the monitor at the same time, correct? But my HDMI switcher is only able to toggle back and forth between 2 different computers to only show content on the monitor from one computer at a time (not 2 computers at same time). Plus I need a larger monitor for doing video editing, so I can better expand and see the time line for critical editing. My 27" monitor is just barely cutting it, so I'm thinking a larger (wider?) monitor would be useful. I also do lots of Photoshop image editing, so having decent color accuracy is useful too. I also watch lots of RU-vid content...too much in fact, including your videos, LOL!
@@serdaroyman8972 Let me ask the Dell product Team to send me one. I am excited about the U4021QW....it has Thunderbolt ports on it, 5K2K and 1.07 billion colors.
@@MichaelOHanian Thank you. I am trying to decide between U4021QW and U3821DW or U3421WE. I have 2019 MacBook Pro and Surface Book 3. Mostly SAP Admin and Office tools Your advise would help me to choose. By the way great reviews.
Jianxin, sorry for the delay. Somehow I missed your post. I used the Dell Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo ( part number KM7120W ) to switch between PC's. This keyboard/mouse allows you to connect up to 3 PC's using the wireless dongle and Blue Tooth. Unfortunately the U4320Q does not have a built in KVM like some of the other Dell Displays. You can either use the mouse/keyboard combo like I did in the video or get an external KVM switch. Here is the URL on the Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard/Mouse. www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-multi-device-wireless-keyboard-and-mouse-combo-km7120w/apd/580-aisy/pc-accessories
@@MichaelOHanian Thanks for the reply! I understand that you have a keyboard and a mouse that connects to multiple device, but I'm more curious about how does your monitor knows to switch to another PC when your mouse and keyboard switch?
@@caojx I used Dell Display Manager to that. It allows you to control input devices and PnP. DDM is a utility software that comes with all Dell P and U series monitors. One of the best kept secretes at Dell. :-) PS you don't need to have a Dell PC to use DDM.
Because the U4320!Q lacks an internal KVM, I used the Dell Premier Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard and Mouse - KM7321W. You can connect up to 3 different computers to it at one time. There is a button on the mouse and keyboard that allows you to jump from pc to pc.
hi i just bought this monitor, i downloaded the DDM on both laptop however I cant figure out how to get the KVM button to show in the input manager, can you let me know what what type of port do I have to put which device in. i have both monitor plugged in but no KVM option.
I have the notebook hooked up via the USB-C connection and the desktop with the DisplayPort. You might have to to in to the displays menu to activate the KVM. Congratulations on the buying the U4320Q. I am jealous. I had to send mine back to the Dell HQ. :-(
Fair enough. I guess most situations I've had glossy screens have bothered me a whole lot which is why I value the matt. Depending on the room setup i can see now the glossy screen having more clarity.
@@cucabueno yeah I personally use both (glossy laptop, matte monitor) but my laptop is 768p while my monitor is 1080p so the clarity point doesn’t really show in my case but to each their own. I would say matte displays are more versatile so I appreciate them when not reading smaller text

There are better monitors for gaming. It will work but the refresh rate is only 60Hz. Better option would the ALIENWARE 55 OLED GAMING MONITOR - AW5520QF (if you want 4K)
Dell Premier Multi-Device Wireless Mouse & Keyboard KM7321W. I did a RU-vid video on them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3vXMpJBQsIM.html
@@bugnoy710 about an arm length and a half. Recommend distance for a monitor is one arm length. With it being a 43" it is ok to be further than an arms length.
Do you know which ultra monitor is a match for the u4320q in vertical stand? I need one because of my engineering work would be perfect to have a small vertical monitor next to this big
@@MaxiREV See page 4 of the following PDF (it has a picture of this pairing of the U43 and U25. It does match the same height in portrait. www.delltechnologies.com/resources/en-us/asset/brochures/solutions/Dell_Client_Solutions_for_Financial_Services.pdf
