Dell – Dell 32 Curved 4K UHD Monitor - S3221QS


This is a 32" monitor with a resolution of 3848x2160 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. It has two HDMI inputs and a DisplayPort input. That resolution and refresh rate are bog-standard, as are those inputs, so I don't think that you are likely to run into problems.


Your tag line indicates that you have a 14" MacBook Pro, which would

  • Have a M1 Pro or M1 Max chip
  • Have three USB-C ports that support DisplayPort and Thunderbolt
  • Have a HDMI port


You could connect the monitor directly to your Mac using

  • A HDMI to HDMI cable
  • A USB-C to DisplayPort adapter cable (or adapter + cable)
  • A USB-C to HDMI adapter cable (or adapter + cable)

You could also connect it through a HDMI port or DisplayPort on a USB-C dock or Thunderbolt dock.
