I have found information on the manufacturer's site that it is always active (https://www.dell.com/de-ch/shop/dell-ultrasharp-6858-cm-27-4k-monitor-mit-usb-c-hub-u2723qe/apd/210-bcxk/monitore-und-monitorzubeh%C3%B6r).
Something like that. I think they haven't quite understood the purpose of dynamic prices. And don't worry, they are not so important as a customer that an employee at Digitec always changes the prices for them in the background before they order.
This depends on the available bandwidth of your connection (graphics card). To run two 4k monitors at the highest resolution @60Hz, you need at least Displayport 1.3. If you have at least DP 1.3, check if you can still change the DP mode on the monitor and use the supplied cable. It is correct, the last monitor does not need to support daisy chain.
Digitec is obliged to include a normal 3-pin CH plug on the power cable. It was also included with mine. If not, you must make a complaint immediately!
The monitor is generally compatible with a MacBook from 2017 and can be operated with it. However, the 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) on a MacBook Pro 2017 is often only displayed at 30 Hz instead of 60 Hz, which can lead to a slightly delayed image display. With certain settings and a suitable cable (USB-C to USB-C), the refresh rate can be increased to 60 Hz under certain circumstances, but this is not always possible without problems.
Yes, from the MacBook Pro next to it. As with so many monitors (except Apple's), there is no webcam and no speakers. You can connect the MBP via USB-C and it can also be charged. To save the battery, I recommend the inexpensive and very good AlDente app.
The monitor generally works well with the MacBook Pro M1 Max 16". Many users have a smooth experience with the connection via USB-C, although some problems with recognising the monitor can occur. In such cases, an HDMI connection can be helpful. Note that the daisy chain function does not always work with MacBooks.
The Dell UltraSharp U2723QE is suitable for the latest Mac Mini. It offers 4K resolution and supports USB-C, which makes it easy to connect. It also has an integrated USB hub, which makes it easier to connect peripheral devices.

The monitor has no problem with this. In my case, the monitors themselves are connected with DisplayPort and the notebooks use USB/C for power, network and video. Whether your MacBook can handle daisy chain depends on the device. It is not supported by all MacBooks and also has other limitations regarding the maximum resolution.
It depends on the age and model of the iMac, but pretty sure yes. I connected a 2014 iMac with a mini DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable; newer iMacs are almost guaranteed (with an adapter at best) to all connect as well.
The "UltraSharp U2723QE" monitor from Dell cannot be used directly as a hub for a Microsoft Surface or other device to project or control its screen content, as is the case with a Surface Hub.
- The UltraSharp U2723QE has ports such as DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-A and USB-C, but these are mainly for connecting the monitor to a device and not for using the device itself as a hub.
- It does not offer built-in functions such as Guest Mode or Substitute PC Mode, which are available on the Surface Hub to view and interact with content from other devices.
To project content from a Surface or other device to the monitor, the device would need to be connected directly to the monitor, but the monitor itself does not act as a central hub for controlling and interacting with the device.
Under the following link you will find the following note:
https://www.coolblue.de/beratung/was-ist-daisy-chaining-und-welche-vorteile-bringt-es-dir.html
"Please note that the image quality of the last connected screens decreases. The maximum number of screens is determined by the graphics card of your desktop or laptop".
It would therefore be necessary to answer the question of which graphics card is used and whether it is capable of delivering the same high resolution for both screens.

How well does this "daisy chain" work with the following tests:
1. daisy chain two monitors and connect them to the MacBook via a USB C or DisplayPort connector. Can the MacBook handle two external monitors via "one" connection?
2. i also want to use the monitors for gaming with the same setting, but not on a MacBook. Will this work without any problems?
I'm a bit sceptical, as I always see USB C as Thunderbolt's "little" brother and have therefore been looking for a monitor with a Thunderbolt connection, but these are really rare in combination with 4K/UHD resolution and a size of 27 inches...
What kind of USB-C uplink cable did you use? The one that comes with the device is far too short and doesn't reach from the screen to the computer. With this cable (https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s1/product/inline-usb-32-gen2-kabel-2-m-usb-kabel-13456539?supplier=406802) and the USB port on the bottom, I have massive problems with disconnections. I use a CF Express card reader from Sony and a Sandisk Extreme Portable. With both I can hardly copy or write anything, the connection breaks off and the device is no longer displayed. It works perfectly when connected directly to the computer.
