I've been using the USB-C version of this monitor with my mac mini for 5 months, it's a good product. Zero issues in that time, aside from it not being the most color accurate monitor (it's still pretty good if you disable the comfortview feature). The speakers get LOUD, I have to use them on the lowest volume setting. It also has an appealing design that looks good on my desk.
For 60 dollars more you can get the USB-C version of this monitor (S2725QC). That version supports 65W power delivery and has some extra USB ports on the monitor itself if you want to use the monitor as a hub. Other than that, I think the 2 models are the same. It's a budget oriented 4k productivity monitor, but it's a well though-out product. Good sharpness, good enough color accuracy for me, easy to use controls and menu, attractive design...I would buy it again.

I just got mine yesterday when I bought it for a few dollars more earlier this week - also hooked up to a Mac Mini like the other commenter (just got that M4 earlier this week as well). So far it seems pretty nice in picture quality, is an attractive build. The height/tilt/swivel on the stand is very adjustable, though the monitor jiggles a bit with firm typing or bumping the desk.
Good price and good product but NOT grate. The USB TYPE-C version is the best(65w power supply). But that charge 260.
So I eventually went with Philip, their monitor is made by a CCP brand, called AoC. Which is decent at the high end side, and horrible if you buy the low end side.
Considering this to pair with a Mac mini, but need for professional photo editing and light gaming. Is this good enough for those uses? Was hoping to save money to buy an external hard drive but want to ensure the monitor's color accuracy is sufficient.
My dad does computer science stuff and coding, he has 49" ultrawide 60hz 1940x1220p (or some numbers close to that). Would getting him two of these be a big improvement? I told him and he doesn't want me to spend money on it but I might just get them on this crazy discount. 60hz gives headaches too I think.

If you earn your living exclusively from photo editing then NO. Many pro-grade monitors aim for near-100% Adobe RGB or a wide DCI-P3 gamut plus 10-bit with full gamut coverage. Will it be serviceable, sure, but might consider next tier up.

Thanks for the insight. Any recommended alternatives under $400?

It has a weird bug, if you set your color profile to 10 bit Full Range RGB 4:4:4 on HDMI, it will reset back to 8-bit Limited RGB 4:2:2
Edit:
I use it with Mac OS with Better Display app which "locks" it to 10 bit Full Range RGB 4:4:4, BUT it takes a few seconds probably due to Mac OS setting it back then Better Display resetting it to locked color profile.
It is most likely a Dell issue.

It's probably something like 3440 x 1440. 1940 x 1200 would be very low for a monitor that size and wouldn't fit the aspect ratio of an ultrawide.
Anyway, yes two of these would be a nice upgrade, effectively going to a 54" 7680 x 2160 120 Hz.
One other thing to consider though is some people prefer one big monitor over two smaller ones, especially if the big monitor is curved.

Why get the Dell over the LG Ultrafine 27US500 which is less? If you have LG Partner pricing, you can get the monitor for $162, otherwise it's $179. It won't deliver until Dec 15. But if you don't have partner pricing, other retailers will match the $179 for earlier delivery.

120 Hz vs 60 Hz
Dell also has a pair of decent speakers.

That's a nice deal too.
The Dell also has a higher RTINGS rating.

Is this decent enough for gaming (world of warcraft?). I just purchased an M2 Mac Mini with a different HD display but the wording is blurry on websites so I am looking into returning it for a 4k option.
