Combining my post above: it's like what would happen if Boris Karloff and Mike Wazowski had a baby.Did Dell hire Mike Wazowski to design this?

What do you call a chin when it’s at the top?
Dell is looking to take head-on Apple's $4,999 Pro Display XDR with a new 32-inch 6K UltraSharp display that has a built-in 4K webcam, a variety of ports, and an included stand that rotates, swivels, tilts, and more.
This is more of dig at the so-called tech press. They keep trying to make the Dell something it's not. The Apple XDR has the specs to be a pro-approved 6k colour monitor. The Dell does not. Dell doesn't claim it has. Only the tech press does. They're either idiots, or they know they're lying in order to get the clicks.
someone hit that monitor's forehead with an enchanted dark iron rod for sure. It is swollen pretty bad.What do you call a chin when it’s at the top? A forehead?
I could not disagree more. I like to have everything built-in. The experience is so much better.Please, no webcams and no speakers. Let me save money on the display by not including those, and let me use that money toward getting a webcam and speakers with the specs that I prefer.
Would the slightly different resolution compared to the XDR be an issue for scaling in macOS?
(Assuming MacOS recognises the display and drives it at its native resolution - if not, forget it)...Depends what you mean by "issue." It will certainly not scale perfectly, unlike the XDR and Studio Display.
...I guarantee that the audio experience will not be better than a half-decent external speaker setup (and that doesn't mean going into audiophile golden ear mumbo-jumbo territory)... and for those of us who like dual display setups, no, having two webcams doesn't improve the experience. Nor does having a 140W power supply (or two) that your desktop Mac can't use. But, please, buy lots of them anyway and help push the price downI could not disagree more. I like to have everything built-in. The experience is so much better.
Pricing it about the same as Apple older XDR display doesn't do Dell any favors. This is whats wrong with the monitor marketplace.Dell says the display will be available later this year and has not provided any pricing details for the display. Apple's Pro Display XDR costs $4,999 for the standard texture version and $5,999 for the nano-texture version. The Pro Display XDR's stand must be purchased separately for $999.
I can't go back to a monitor without those things. I do hope someone makes the display you're looking for.Please, no webcams and no speakers. Let me save money on the display by not including those, and let me use that money toward getting a webcam and speakers with the specs that I prefer.
Unfortunately, the XDR does not either. See:This is more of dig at the so-called tech press. They keep trying to make the Dell something it's not.

so did the article leave out that the Dell has a crappy contrast ratio, is not very bright and is only had 600? Not really a very good monitor, but OK, pretty good for a Dell. Is that the message?
The image producing part is probably akin to Studio Display, but its resolution matches the 6k XDR. With Dell, the U range of products is typically like this, mid-range specs with one or two standing features. If there is anything more fancy especially in costly backlight tech, they would have slotted the model under the UP series umbrella.
This display has a significantly higher native contrast ratio than any Apple LCD ever. 2000:1 is nearly twice the contrast ratio of the Studio display (though it will probably be a bit lower than 2000:1 when properly calibrated). Only the XDR, 12.9" iPad, and 14" and 16" MacBook Pro surpass the contrast ratio by using mini-LED backlighting." high contrast is now defined by Dell as 2000:1 LOL. that is so totally not high contrast. Here are the specs from Dell, overall pretty meh:
31.5" Dell U3224KB - Specifications
- Static contrast: 2000 : 1.
Apple's PPI specs vary by a few PPI. That's not really a significant difference. (though I guess it may be a bit annoying if you want to put two different displays side by side.)So Dell created a display to appeal to Apple customers, but somehow screwed up the most important spec—why would they make it 223 ppi instead of 218? It makes absolutely no sense.
My first thought too. All my dell displays have a clean and rather minimalist design, this thing.... what were they thinking?There's ugly. And then there's that thing.
Traditionally Dell makes great monitors, spec for spec. And any pressure on Apple is good pressure.
But. Wow.
you know what the depressing thing is? making the camera bigger actually makes it look *better*, the proportions make more sense
