Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD Monitor U4021QW
3D World UK|November 2021
MORE VERTICAL RESOLUTION, MORE FEATURES AND OUTSTANDING PRODUCT QUALITY MAKE THE HIGH PRICE EASIER TO SWALLOW
Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD Monitor U4021QW

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.
