Your MacBook Pro can exploit whatever sharpness is provided by that display at its full 1920 by 1080p resolution.

"Drivers for a specific display" is a Windows concept. It is not used in Macs.

Instead, the Mac sends a query to the display, and the Mac settings are in response to what the display reports as its capabilities, not to something loaded afterward.

That display can use either USB-C cable, which could provide up to 65W of charging power (not enough for a 15in MacBook Pro) or DisplayPort. Those will give best results.

It can also connect via HDMI, which will run hotter and be more trouble-prone.

Thanks for the response Grant.

I read somewhere, that Dell does not make drivers for Mac. Is that statement correct?

Any idea about the sharpness of text on this display?
