The all new Dell UltraSharp U4021QW is a curved ultrawide monitor packed with pixels and ports.
Among the monitors Dell has announced for 2021, the Dell UltraSharp U4021QW claims to be the ‘world’s first 40-inch ultrawide curved WUHD (5K2K) monitor’. In case you were wondering what 5K2K represent, it translates to a pixel resolution of 5120 x 2160 that gives it the same vertical pixel count as a typical 4K monitor, but with an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio – by a normal standard monitor, this is a lot of pixels!
Focusing back onto the main attraction, the U4021QW offers a 40-inch diagonal and a resolution of 5,120 x 2,160 pixels (104 ppi). That is slightly wider than a 4K monitor but not by much. It might be good for 4K video editors seeking to edit footage at 1:1, while keeping the control panel UIs on the same screen. Other important screen stats are the colour coverage of 100 per cent sRGB, 100 per cent Rec. 709, and 98 per cent DCI-P3. In ‘fast mode’ the screen has a 5ms response time.
The UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD has a full array of ports, including a Thunderbolt 3 port that can supply a compatible MacBook with up to 90W of power. Other ports include a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 port, four USB Type-A ports with data speeds of up to 10Gbps, an Ethernet port, 3.5mm jack, and a USB Type-B upstream port. This is indeed a feature rich monitor, there is even a built in KVM switch, Gigabit LAN port, a headphone jack and 2x9W stereo speakers provided.
The UltraSharp 4021QW is intended for content creators, creative professionals, data analysts, and coders. A picture-in-picture mode allows the this monitor to mimic two displays side by side, and a so-called “ComfortView Plus” feature reduces blue light.
