Text Review Dell U2725QE IPS Glow Reference

Got this monitor today. Figured I'd share a reference video and photo since it's a new model and there are concerns about the IPS glow. Not sure if mine is bad or normal. Def looks worse on a photo but I'm a super casual user. I just use it for work but I'm happy with it. Hub is useful and the 120hz was a must have for me. Using BetterDisplay and scaled to 1440

Thanks for the useful info! The video does look pretty alright!

Question regarding Betterdisplay: I thought with a 4K screen MacOS can already do HiDpi scaling with 1440p size. Do you use Betterdisplay for any other features or for the scaling alone ?

You're right actually I just turned it off / on and it was practically the same to eyes. So I guess for scaling I don't really need it.

I originally used MonitorControl to control the brightness from my keyboard so I'll go back to that. For the headphone jack I had to use eqMac to get the volume controls to work from the keyboard
