What works. What doesn't.
Connection and power
Both USB-C ports support DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode and power pass-through up to 65W, so a charger in one port can power the laptop on the other.
Panel
RTINGS names it its best budget portable monitor and says it gets brighter and handles reflections better than the Lenovo M14t Gen2, with a matte coating. It has no touchscreen.
Mounting and portability
Dell lists a built-in stand, an auto-rotation sensor and a 100 x 100 VESA mount.
Drivers and software
Video needs no driver. Dell lists Dell Display and Peripheral Manager compatibility for settings.
