Of course, the Dell U3224KB has its limitations. Its 60Hz refresh rate lacks the smoothness of a 120Hz display, and it utilizes an LG IPS panel without full array local dimming like the Pro Display XDR. However, considering the price tag of $3,199.99, which is comparatively reasonable for a monitor of this caliber, these drawbacks may be easier to overlook.
Given the Dell U3224KB’s combination of price, features, and performance, it begs the question of whether Apple should consider launching a similar mid-range monitor between the Pro Display XDR and the more affordable Studio Display. The upcoming Apple WWDC 2023 event could serve as an ideal platform for such an announcement, as the market could benefit from more options in the 6K 32-inch segment. If Apple were to add its iconic logo and incorporate some of the advanced ports and features found in the Dell U3224KB, it would likely be met with enthusiasm from customers looking for a balance of quality and affordability.
