Our Verdict

The Dell UltraSharp U3223QZ, retailing at over £1,000, is not aimed at casual creatives, but despite the 4K HDR resolution and 1.07 billion colours, it's not aimed at pro creatives either. Instead, the U3223QZ, with its unusual soft-touch top bar and pro webcam built-in, is aimed squarely at their bosses. This is a monitor for serious video-conferencing first and foremost, with a great webcam, but the price tag puts this screen squarely in the executive category.

For

  • Big, bright 4K screen
  • Excellent webcam
  • Premium appearance

Against

The Dell UltraSharp U3223QZ wants nothing to do with the cheap or frivolous. It's for serious people having serious meetings with other serious people while working on some serious multitasking projects, and all these people presumably have serious paychecks too, because to make the U3223QZ yours, you'll have to fork out a cool £1,000, at least
