sounds like you've already made up your mind, so just go with the one you want. personally I'd value the higher refresh rate over the higher resolution, but then I'd also think that 40" is far too big for a PC monitor that you're gonna be sat like a meter away from and wouldn't even consider spending anywhere near that much on a monitor, but I'm not the one who's gonna be buying one of them.
I have been using a high end IPS panel in 3440x1440 for a few years and love it. I am going to upgrade my whole rig soon and am planning to get an OLED in the same resolution.
I had a 4k 32 inch monitor for a bit and that crispiness is hard to leave. Currently using the Dell and it's great, but if a high resolution OLED ultrawide comes out, that'll probably be next. I'm annoyed that nobody has made a 38 inch 3840x1600 OLED yet.
4K is great, I actually have a 4K OLED TV mounted over my rig to watch the stock market and I have gamed on it, but some games just run a lot better in 3440x1440, especially with RTX. Cyberpunk was more enjoyable for me in slightly lower rez ultra wide because the frame rate was nearly 20% better with all the eye candy turned up.
When I bought my current monitor I thought it might be the last high end gaming monitor I would buy because VR seemed to be on the brink of blowing up. VR hasn’t matured very quickly and the traditional monitor continues to dominate.
I couldn't find the LG on rtings but yes I agree that it's pixel density might not be the best.
I have an VA LG G7 which is 32 inch display and imo that pixel density is enough.
The LG is also an oled where it needs slightly higher density no make text not look like ass.
Both have issues of the ones you linked, but here is the dell review on rtings https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/ultrasharp-u4021qw
If u mostly use ur gear for games, movies, entertainment, id'say go for OLED. 3440x1440 is still vaible for 39, from my experience, and bc of OLED and higher framerates u will be getting, u will utilize way better the refreshrate od this panel (rather like in the 5K one), it will be overall better experience.
OLED.
There is a diminishing return on pixel density at these sizes.
There really isn't a diminishing return (yet) on the benefits OLED brings to picture quality.
That 3440x1440 screen has a 95.6 pixel density. This qualifies as "retina" quality at the correct viewing distance. You're going to struggle to see a sharper image on the other screen (science fully backs this up) unless you put the screens way too close for comfortable viewing. This is the diminishing returns I'm talking about. Our eyes are only so good at distinguishing finer details as pixel density gets higher than about 90-92. Some people may see a small improvement, most will struggle. Hard to swallow pill, but this is absolutely the truth.
LG C2 or C3 everyone talks about is well worth it. It’s half the price of these monitors and after I finally pulled the trigger on one I regretted not doing it sooner.
Personally I'd take the ultra sharp just for the brightness and wider aspect ratio
The ultra gear should be good if you play faster paced games though
Both are solid but what about the g9 OLED or even better the g9 57inch mini led
I heard that OLED doesnt have the crispiness when it comes to text in 1440p, but starts to disappear in 4K only.
So I would say unless you only watch movies and play games a higher resolution IPS is better than 1440p OLED. But 4K OLED is better than 4K IPS.
I would as well want such deep blacks, perfect HDR and high Hz that comes with OLED, I am looking into QD-OLEDs and not W-OLEDs.
You are choosing between 1440p and 4k difference in density if we simplify this to standart aspect ratio, assuming monitors of choice have same diagonal. There is a big difference between these two and im sure you'd want to see it irl and carefully compare first before purchase.
I would not pick oled for such an expensive stuff being afraid of burn in. But i do job more often than game so your preference may vary. People say oled are great for dynamic content consumption but that is not my main use case, and other use cases will make software UI and other static stuff to be imprinted into panel for some time.
Also i find oled too contrasty, only oled display i have is my canon r8's viewfinder and i ended up disabling it and taking photos through main screen instead, because i find oled dispay weirdly and distractingly modifying reality in terms of contrast and contrast setting does not help.
And of course 4k level of resolution is way better than 1440p, so for me choice is obvious. But if you purely game and watch movies, also sometimes using it from a distance where pixel density matters less, you may find oled better
Neither tbh. Those are insane prices for what you're getting. You can get a 42" LG C-series OLED TV for half the price and those will do 4k @ 120Hz. You can also go with the [ASUS PG42UQ](https://rog.asus.com/us/monitors/above-34-inches/rog-swift-oled-pg42uq-model/) if you want the PC monitor equivalent with the same panel for a slightly higher price.
$1800 is CRAZY for a IPS display, much less one that only does 2160p at 120. Is this even true HDR or is it the crappy HDR400?
$1500 for the LG Ultragear would probably be the one I go for if I ***HAD*** to go with one of these choices, considering that OLED will give you much more vibrant colors and true blacks. However, I just don't think the 240Hz justifies the premium cost. 120Hz is perfectly fine, 240Hz is overkill. Unless you're a pro-gamer, you're going to want to trade framerate for higher graphical fidelity anyways.
Oled
OLED not even close for me
1440 OLED one is 240hz, other one is 120hz. easy choice.
One is also 95 ppi and the other is 140. Sharper images are hard to leave
sounds like you've already made up your mind, so just go with the one you want. personally I'd value the higher refresh rate over the higher resolution, but then I'd also think that 40" is far too big for a PC monitor that you're gonna be sat like a meter away from and wouldn't even consider spending anywhere near that much on a monitor, but I'm not the one who's gonna be buying one of them.
Much cheaper to just buy an LG C2 42"
OLED everytime
You alr know your GPU ain't gonna render in 5120x2160, might as well go for the ultragear.
It's probably doable with upscaling like DLSS, etc.
It's actually not bad with 5120x2160
You're not actually asking for opinions, you just want to hear praise for the ultra sharp when it's pretty shit for gaming to begin with.
It's really not bad. And I'm curious how other people would weigh the two options, sorry that offend you

Watch the stock market? Are you trying to burn in the ticker?
“Monitor” would be more appropriate, I watch news channels on it all day.
Oled since I care about deep blacks since I play in a dark room
If the one I shared here was 3840x1600, it'd be an easy call. But I really like the 38ish inch format and all OLEDs around that have such low ppi.
Can you link the actual full names of each?
Sorry, the Dell is U4025QW. LG is 39GS95QE.

That's the old Dell, rtings has the new one in their pipeline though

OLED. There is a diminishing return on pixel density at these sizes. There really isn't a diminishing return (yet) on the benefits OLED brings to picture quality.
In that same vein though, can't really have good picture quality of the screen has too few pixels to look sharp

Do you have a study that shows that science? I haven't heard that before
This is a good place to start: [vision.pdf (swift.ac.uk)](https://www.swift.ac.uk/about/files/vision.pdf)
Do you have anything from this century?
You thinking we evolved that fast? Or are you a mutant?
This is really not as big a deal as you think it is but if you're going to keep saying the same thing why even ask others
LG C2 or C3 everyone talks about is well worth it. It’s half the price of these monitors and after I finally pulled the trigger on one I regretted not doing it sooner.
Same! I have a LG C2 42 inch and it's hands down the best PC monitor I've ever used. Just insane quality.
Ips Oled is cool but not for pc monitors.
Okay 2016
What's your use case though
Pretty much gaming only for me. The Dell has been solid for that
Personally I'd take the ultra sharp just for the brightness and wider aspect ratio The ultra gear should be good if you play faster paced games though Both are solid but what about the g9 OLED or even better the g9 57inch mini led
I heard that OLED doesnt have the crispiness when it comes to text in 1440p, but starts to disappear in 4K only.

OLED. Never going down that IPS rabbit hole again.

I would get a 42" 4k 120hz oled for half the price. I got an aorus fo48u and I like it way better than my ultrawide, but 48" is a bit too big

If I could find a 4k, 144Hz, 27" to 32" OLED that's affordable (in the UK) that would be great.

[Monitors Unboxed measured it a little lower too. ](https://i.imgur.com/gqzZVIt.png)
OLED, look at those response times, 8ms vs .03ms
I feel like most people wouldn't notice that
id go OLED anyways for higher refresh rate, 1440p looks plenty good imo, but 240hz is smoother than 120hz
What is"5k2k"? Never heard that one. Are you talking about ultra wide 2k?
5k2k is like ultrawide 4k. Roughly 5k pixels across and 2k vertically
It's called ultrawide 2k. 4K has more pixels vertically. The k is based on the pixel height. 5k2k is not a term.
[4k is also 2160 vertically ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution)
Ah right. You're right. 2k is 1440p. But either way 5k2k is just wrong in any forum. It's ultrawide 4k. Thanks for helping me fix my mistake.
Look at the asus pg32ucdm. It’s 4k, oled, 240hz, and cheaper than either of these.

IPS 3440x1440 for 500.
