Dell’s new 40-inch curved ultra-wide monitor comes with pixels and ports

Among the monitors that Dell announced at CES this year is the Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD U4021QW, which claims to be the “world’s first 40-inch ultra-wide curved WUHD (5K2K) monitor”. 5K2K, if you’re wondering, translates to a pixel resolution of 5120 x 2160. This gives the same vertical pixel count as a typical 4K screen, but with an ultra-large aspect ratio of 21: 9. By the standards of most monitors, it’s a lot of pixels.

The UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD has a full range of ports, including a Thunderbolt 3 port that can provide a MacBook compatible 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 10 Gbps, an Ethernet port, 3.5 mm connector and a USB Type B upstream port, according to MacRumors.

Its refresh rate is only 60 Hz, which is a bit low compared to game monitors, which means that it is probably more suitable for productivity tasks (nor that many video cards would be able to run games at this resolution in more than 60 fps).

There is a large collection of doors at the rear, and a few more at the bottom.

Dell is not the first company to announce a monitor with this resolution; LG launched a 34-inch monitor with him in 2017. But Dell’s new monitor is bigger and curved, which is how it manages to boast of its “first in the world” status. The UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD Monitor hits stores on January 28, starting at $ 2,099.99.
