Dell unveiled a 49-inch UltraSharp U4919DW monitor on Monday, entering the world of massive screens forged by Samsung's CHG90 and others. It's a behemoth, and those 49 inches will drown you in whatever you use it for. Unlike its predecessors, the Dell has QHD resolution to make it easier on the eyes. The monitor promises a 32:9 aspect ratio, which isn't a new development, but the UltraSharp is the first of its kind to boast 5120 x 1440 resolution. Its forebears could only muster 3840 x 1080, which is why Dell calls its product "the world’s first 49-inch curved dual QHD monitor." Excess screen means more productivity, and Dell thinks you can comfortably throw out two 27-inch QHD monitors and replace it with this. The sales pitch is bolstered by the monitor's HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C functionality. There's also a built-in keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) to help you toggle between multiple workflows. It's all about multi-tasking, or perhaps overwhelming yourself with its 3800R curvature and 109 pixels-per-inch. Also, there are seven USB 3 ports. If the UltraSharp U4919DW sounds like your speed, it'll prove costly at $1,599. But that's the necessary price to pay if you're looking to basically swim through pixels on a daily basis.

The UltraSharp 49 is equivalent to two Thunderbolt Displays or other 27-inch Quad HD displays side by side. The expansive screen space can be used to display one desktop, or two with a picture-by-picture mode that displays two different Mac or PC sources side by side using the same keyboard and mouse. The monitor is compatible with the latest 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models, with connectivity via a single USB-C cable that delivers up to 90W of power. Other connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, five USB 3.0 downstream ports, and two USB 3.0 upstream ports. The 3800R curvature of the screen enables a panoramic, immersive experience with a consistent focal length across the screen for eye comfort, according to Dell. The monitor has a viewing angle of 178° both vertically and horizontally. The monitor has an IPS panel and LED backlight, with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a peak brightness of 350 nits. DCI P3 isn't supported, but it does show 99 percent of the sRGB color gamut. The monitor comes with a height-adjustable stand that tilts, swivels, and is compatible with VESA mounts. The UltraSharp 49 has a 60Hz refresh rate when driven by a Mac or PC with powerful enough graphics, but it lacks Nvidia G-SYNC or AMD FreeSync technology, so it isn't the best option for gamers. Instead, Dell is primarily marketing the monitor to those who work in fields related to finance and data analysis. Anyone who could benefit from a massive amount of uninterrupted desktop space will likely find value in the UltraSharp 49, but the luxury comes at a cost. Dell says the monitor will be available Friday, October 26 in the United States, starting at a pricy $1,699.99. Its model number is U4919DW.<doc-sep>The big picture: Dell's new 49-inch ultra-wide monitor looks to be a suitable replacement for a standard dual-screen setup but it carries a hefty price tag. Those considering stepping their display game up may want to consider using a 4K television as a monitor as you can get a great display with a higher resolution and more real estate at a fraction of the price. Dell on Monday announced what’s being billed as the world’s first 49-inch curved dual QHD monitor. The aptly named Dell UltraSharp U4919DW, which Dell claims is the ideal replacement for two 27-inch QHD monitors, boasts a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 and an ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio. Spec-wise, the U4919DW offers a 3800R curve radius, 109 pixels per inch and a brightness rating of 350 cd/m² (typical). Response time is rated at 8ms in normal mode and 5ms in fast mode and the contrast ratio is 1,000:1. A single USB-C cable can be used to transmit power, data and video, helping to reduce cable clutter. Other connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports (HDCP 2.2) (10-bit color @ 60Hz), a single DisplayPort 1.4 connector (HDCP 2.2) (10-bit color @ 60Hz), five USB 3.0 downstream ports and two USB 3.0 upstream ports. The IPS display allows users to view content from two different PCs thanks to its Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature, much like a true dual monitor setup but without the annoying bezels. Similarly, the KVM feature allows you to toggle between different machines using a single keyboard and mouse. As you’d expect, the display is height adjustable and can tilt and swivel to help lock down that ideal viewing angle. It’s also compatible with VESA mounts and stands should you already have a mounting location in mind. The Dell UltraSharp U4919DW comes backed by a three-year warranty and launches on October 26 priced at $1,699.99.<doc-sep>
If you're in the market for a massive ultrawide monitor built for heavy multitaskers, Dell has your back. The PC maker today revealed the UltraSharp 49, a massive 49-inch monitor that Dell claims is the "world's first 49-inch curved dual QHD monitor." Built with a 32:9 aspect ratio, the monitor sports a 5120x1440 resolution, which is equivalent to slapping two 27-inch QHD monitors side by side. To use all of that space, the UltraSharp 49 supports running two input sources on one screen with Picture-by-Picture (PBP). You can effectively use PBP to display visuals from two PCs on one screen, eliminating the middle bezels that would typically break up a dual-screen setup in the middle. Further, the monitor supports using one keyboard and mouse across both PCs. Dell's Display Manager software can help to arrange your apps for the most effective setup as well. The software can be used to tile and view apps side by side, and an auto-restore feature will reposition apps to their positions after you've disconnected from the monitor. As is becoming increasingly common with new monitors, the UltraSharp 49 lets you run power, data, and video over a single USB-C cable. There are also two HDMI 2.0 ports on board, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, five USB 3.0 downstream ports and two USB 3.0 upstream ports. As for display specs, the IPS panel sports a 1000:1 contrast ratio, a 60Hz refresh rate, and 99 percent sRGB color gamut coverage. All of this comes at a cost, of course. The Dell UltraSharp 49 (U4919DW) is expected to launch on October 26 at a starting price of $1,700.
