Kuycon G27P VS Dell UltraSharp U2723QE: 5K vs 4K for Mac
The Dell UltraSharp U2723QE is one of the best 4K docking monitors around — a 90W USB-C hub with built-in Ethernet and a KVM switch, at a lower price. The Kuycon G27P trades that hub for true 5K Retina density and HDR. Here is how they compare, honestly.
Our pick for Mac sharpness
True 5K Retina, from Kuycon
Kuycon G27P
27" · 5K · IPS Black · HDR · 75 Hz
From 869,90 € incl. VAT · vs ~€650 for the Dell U2723QE
5120 × 2880 at 218 ppi — true 5K Retina density, sharper on macOS than the U2723QE’s 4K (163 ppi) panel — plus HDR and the same 2000:1 IPS Black contrast the Dell also uses. The trade-off: the G27P doesn’t have the Dell’s 90W USB-C hub with built-in Ethernet and KVM, and it costs more.

Where the Dell wins
The U2723QE is one of the best one-cable desk hubs around. Its USB-C connector delivers 90W of power to charge a MacBook while carrying video, plus a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port and a KVM switch to control two computers from one keyboard and mouse — all for around €650, less than the G27P. If your Mac desk setup is built around a single cable that also handles networking and device switching, and 4K resolution is good enough for you, the Dell is a genuinely strong choice. It just isn’t 5K, and it has no HDR.
Where Kuycon wins
The G27P is a true 5K Retina panel: 5120 × 2880 at 218 ppi, next to the U2723QE’s 3840 × 2160 at roughly 163 ppi. On macOS that difference shows up directly in text and interface sharpness. The G27P also adds HDR, which the U2723QE doesn’t offer, and runs at 75 Hz instead of 60 Hz, while matching the Dell’s IPS Black panel and 2000:1 contrast.
- Buy the Dell U2723QE if you want a 90W USB-C hub with built-in Ethernet and a KVM switch, 4K is enough for you, and you want to spend less.
- Buy the Kuycon G27P if you want true 5K Retina sharpness and HDR on your Mac, and can do without the built-in dock.
Want 4K at a lower price than the Dell?
If 4K is genuinely all you need, Kuycon has options priced below the U2723QE too. The Kuycon P27L is a 27" 4K monitor from about €499, and the Kuycon P27D adds a 144 Hz refresh rate for around €770 — both cheaper than the Dell, without its Ethernet/KVM hub.

FAQ
Kuycon vs Dell UltraSharp U2723QE
Is the Dell UltraSharp U2723QE 4K or 5K?
It’s 4K: 3840 × 2160 at about 163 ppi. It is not a 5K monitor. For true 5K Retina sharpness on a Mac (5120 × 2880, 218 ppi), the Kuycon G27P is the closer match, starting around €940 incl. VAT.
Does the Dell U2723QE have HDR?
No, Dell doesn’t market HDR on the U2723QE — it’s an SDR IPS Black panel. The Kuycon G27P has the same IPS Black 2000:1 contrast and adds HDR, for Mac content that supports it.
What does the Dell U2723QE do better than the Kuycon G27P?
Its built-in hub. The U2723QE has a 90W USB-C connection with a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port and a KVM switch, and it costs less than the G27P. If a single-cable dock with Ethernet and device switching matters more to you than 5K resolution, it’s a strong pick.
Want 5K, not just 4K, on your Mac?
The Kuycon G27P comes with a 2-year warranty in the European Union, plus EU-based delivery and after-sales — true 5K Retina sharpness and HDR, next to the Dell’s 4K docking convenience.
