Of course, for some stupid reason, Dell put them mid way up on the side this is a 30″ monitor, so mid way up is a foot off your desk. If you commonly bring these types of things with you, it’s a lot easier to easily plug in there than going around the back of the monitor. Where the Dell comes out ahead, besides the resolution and input options, are the fact that it has the card reader and two USB ports on the side. It also looks a lot nicer on your desk the Dell has your traditional old school boxy PC monitor feel with its big plastic bezel. If you’re exclusively Apple, the Apple display is pretty damn nice you plop your Mac Book down, plug in the combo Thunderbolt+Magsafe cable and now you’ve just got one small cable running across your desk that takes care of USB ports, wired gigabit Ethernet (via the monitor’s port), display and you can chain more Thunderbolt devices behind it (such as things other than monitors). Next, my office has windows and is pretty bright during the day I get glare from my MacBook screen so I knew I’d have the same issue with the glass-faced Apple monitor third, I may connect a PC to it from time to time so the Thunderbolt won’t work for me. I went with the Dell monitor for a few reasons first, it has a higher resolution and I like a LOT of stuff on my screen at once. Here are the differences, some good, some bad: I purchased it for about $1200 but as of mid-July 2013, Amazon just dropped the price to $989! I was considering the Apple 27″ Thunderbolt display, about $1k at the time of this article, but also noticed some great reviews of the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30″. When at my office, I wanted to have an external monitor, and I figured why not go as high res as possible for the same reasons I run my screen on the MBPr itself at high res. Fortunately I have good eyes most people find my screen nearly unreadable.

I run my Mac Book Pro 15 Retina at typically either 1920 x 1200 or an even higher resolution of 2560 x 1600 (requires third party app called SwitchResX) so I can maximize the screen use. I do a lot of work that requires numerous things on the screen at the same time consoles outputting data, monitoring software, etc. So this was not as straight forward as I expected, but the end result was great at least. If you ended up here on a search for a blurry Dell monitor connected to your Mac, just jump down to the next section where you see “ The Fix!” I really like the Dell monitor so this first part is a comparison and why I went with it.
