Dell Ultrathin monitor

Has anyone got the Dell 27 USB-C Ultrathin Monitor: S2719DC? I need a new monitor, like the looks of the Dell Ultrathin but have read that Dell and Apple (I have a 2018 Macbook Air) products don't work that well together. Does anyone have any suggestions for an aesthetically pleasing Mac-compatible monitor?

Thanks.

Resolution scaling option for external display disappeared with update Hi, I have always been using my external 4K Dell monitor with my M2 Macbook Air. Before the update to Ventura, I could scale the appearance on the screen since everything is tiny on a 24" 4K monitor, but since the update the option for scaling has disappeared and the only way to change the size of the UI is to change the resolution, which renders the image unsharp. Any workarounds or solutions? Thanks. Jonatan

Is Mac Studio compatible with older Cinema Display? I am thinking of upgrading from a 27" iMac to a Mac Studio but I already have a 27" Apple Cinema display with the DisplayPort connector. I'm wondering if there's a way to use that display with the Mac Studio.

2017 Macbook - Not able to connect to 4k monitor via USB C port I'm trying to connect my 2017 MacBook to a Samsung M8 Monitor however the monitor is not able to detect the MacBook via the USB C port input. Since I'm not sure if the issue is with the monitor or the MacBook, I did the following steps to make sure the monitor was functional. The USB C port on the M8 Monitor is able to detect and charge my dell latitude laptop and Samsung galaxy tab s7+ without any issues. I tried using a different USB C cable but still can't connect to the MacBook. The other peripherals connect fine with the different USB C cable. The MacBook is able to connect to the monitor via HDMI input. I used a USB C hub for the MacBook and connected the HDMI to the USB C hub. Ideally, I would prefer using the USB C cable for a cleaner setup. I noticed a weird behavior when I power down the MacBook completely, connect the monitor's USB C cable and turn on the MacBook, the MacBook will charge but still not display on the monitor. However when I disconnect and reconnect the USB C cable while the MacBook is turned on, the MacBook does not charge or connect to the monitor. I tired to reset the MacBook PRAM and SMC but it didn't help. The MacBook is currently running the latest Ventura OS.

FWIW, I have used a number of Dell monitors with my Macs over the last few years and have been generally pleased with the results. Currently, I'm using a 27" Dell 4K with my 2018 Mac mini. Any display issues that I had were on the mini's side and not the Dell. Regardless, those have been resolved. I've also used this monitor with my 2012 MacBook Pro and 2017 MacBook without any issues.
