Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD Monitor U4021QW

MORE VERTICAL RESOLUTION, MORE FEATURES AND OUTSTANDING PRODUCT QUALITY MAKE THE HIGH PRICE EASIER TO SWALLOW

- 

Dell’s consistent ability to push the barriers of screen technology is pretty clear as soon as you set up the U4021QW. This £2,000-ish monitor is at the upper end of pricing, five times that of the AOC CU34P2A, but it outclasses every ultra-wide on the market in almost every respect.

The most critical example is the vertical resolution. The native 1,440 pixels that is standard on ultra-wide displays is not enough to display a 4K image. Dell has pushed through this limit, offering 2,160 vertical pixels, a huge benefit to all visual artists, for a full native resolution of 5,120 x 2,160 (5K2K).

Here you’re getting a middle-of-the-road screen size. 40 inches is definitely wider than you’re used to, but sitting in a goldilocks zone of desktop footprint, display real estate, and underlying technology.
