The main feature of the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Conference Monitor (U3223QZ), which the company first unveiled at CES in January, is an integrated camera meant for video conferencing and web calls.

Unlike the relatively mid-tier camera you'd usually find on a laptop, the monitor's webcam sports an HDR Sony Starvis CMOS sensor, automatic light adjustments, AI auto-framing, improved clarity, and more.

The camera is certified for Microsoft Teams and includes a number of privacy and productivity features like a SafeShutter feature that enables and disables the camera, and an option to easily mute or unmute yourself during a call. On the audio side, it has a dual-array microphone with echo cancellation and 14W speakers.



In addition to the camera, the display itself packs an impressive list of specifications and features. It's an HDR 400-certified 4K display with 98% DCI-PC coverage, 100% sRGB color coverage, and up to 400 nits of brightness.

As far as input ports go, it features an unspecified HDMI port with HDCP 2.2, a DisplayPort 1.4 port, a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port, and a USB-C Gen 2/DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode with power delivery up to 90W.

Its downstream ports include four USB-A 3.2 ports, a USB-C port with up to 15W of power delivery, a USB-A 3.2 port with Battery Charging 1.2, an output DisplayPort, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a headphone jack.

The UltraSharp 32 4K Conference Monitor is currently available to order for $1,599.99. It's slated to start shipping out to customers by late July.

    Same price as Studio Display but still 4K. I guess some people could use a 4K webcam but why? Watching all the conference calls done online shows a lot of politicians and news people could use something more than a 20 year old webcam along with better internet.

    Same price as Studio Display but 5” bigger screen, higher resolution camera, height adjustable stand, supports daisy chaining monitors, and has a wider variety of ports so that it could be your docking station. 

    It just depends on your use case which one will actually be better for you.

    5" larger, but 4K so a far lower PPI.  No thanks, I'd rather have the better construction, quality, and reliability of Apple's version - for the same price.

    Good argument, but the Dell has a KVM feature for my two Mac Minis.

    Seems like they could have dropped the chin seeing it has a forehead.

    It really is not a very attractive monitor.
