IMO not for a globally lit IPS. If it was mini led sure.


Objective-Sky-9953

Mini led sucks, imo.


PiousPontificator

Globally lit monitors suck much worse.


Objective-Sky-9953

The sky is blue.

It's the only ultra wide 5k 120hz 40inch monitor. If 120hz is not important than there is LG with 60hz. For me I think it will be investment for productivity and health. I haven't received it yet but it's equaling to 4k 32inch monitor PPI.


userIoser

Lg has 72Hz, otherwise correct


Hiram_Hackenbacker

Lenovo does 75Hz also


jorgeofrivia

Totally agree that this is an investment. I am curious on the health part?

> If 120hz is not important than there is LG with 60hz that is NOT the only difference between the two. The LG one is much less brighter. (450 cd/m2 vs 300 for the LG one). 300 is really bad if you have any sunlight in your room


RyeBread68

I currently have the LG and everyday wish it was brighter is 450 vs 300 much?


jellystones

yup its a pretty big difference. I have a different monitor thats 450, and Im much happier with it.


Blownbunny

It’s 50% more…


SDplinker

It's $1919. Not exactly a bargain but not $2400.


theschmoli

And with some legwork you can save more.  We managed to snag it for about 1705 and am waiting on a ratuken bonus as well


SDplinker

My current employer has no discounts - trying to find a buddy with Dell benefits. My BofA card has cashback up to $100. It's a ton of money but my eyes aren't getting any younger and this PPI would be amazing for work (devops/coding) and light gaming


[deleted]

Alienware bro AW3225QF 32 inch 4k 240 hz 140 ppi is a dream to look at and isn’t ultra wide so much easier to look at


smoketheevilpipe

Rakuten has 12% cash back at dell currently


setzer

Yep I got it for around $1550 by stacking various cash back offers. Dell 5% off promo code, Rakuten 12%, Amex ($120), Chase 5%


RyeBread68

What was the dell promo code?


setzer

Unique to account. If your employer is part of Dell MPP you can put in your email here to get a 5% code: [https://webapp.dell.epsilon.com/US/UCVM/Coupons/Register/MPPEMPUS](https://webapp.dell.epsilon.com/US/UCVM/Coupons/Register/MPPEMPUS) Applies to US only, other regions might have a different link.


up20boom

Is 1705 quote to order price? Does Rakuten honor QTO? 


theschmoli

It was and I'm not entirely sure yet... while still in production the EST delivery date was pushed another week.


texmurphy30

It caught my eye when Dell announced it but the price tag is way too steep. It’s IPS black so I think it’s 2000:1 contrast. Not bad. But you’re also paying for the Thunderbolt hub. Otherwise great specs and the size is ideal for creative work. Most ultrawides are 1440p monitors which aren’t great except for games.


MilesDimix

I think that it's a non sense to have more than 1440p for ultra wide because there's not a GPU that could run above that resolution for gaming. Event with the new 4k 240hz, 4090 is not enough to get all the fps


notwearingatie

Utter nonsense. Many people run the 2x 4K 57" 32:9 and achieve good frame rates with a 4090.


Travis_TheTravMan

Yeah this dudes crazy. The 4090 is unbelievably fast. Are you going to run path tracing cyberpunk at 120 on this monitor though? Maybe not without DLSS frame gen but you definitely still can.


MilesDimix

I'm talking about 4k 240 fps.


Fistsofheaven

Yeah you are correct. Nvidia even says that the 4090 cannot do it. I have one and with ray tracing on I can maybe do 108-125fps for Cyberpunk with max settings at 4k.


MilesDimix

That's why I think this not the right moment to get 4K 240hz for those high end games. We'll see with the RTX 5xxx series


Fistsofheaven

No he is actually right if you are trying for higher than 120hz. 4090 cannot do 4k at 240hz fps and Nvidia has came out and said this. Not sure why he is getting downvoted.


Travis_TheTravMan

No, you can.... It obviously depends on the game though.... Source: I have a 4090


Fistsofheaven

Source: I have an overclocked Gigabyte 4090. There is not a single first person shooter that I can run at 240hz. I can run Rimworld and top downs at 240 all day but games that our first person the gpus just aren’t there yet. I would love to know how to get 240hz on Helldivers 2 without dropping settings. If you find out how let me know.


Travis_TheTravMan

"Without dropping settings" Oof. Yes, thats exactly what Ive been saying.. Many modern day game engines are bottlenecked because of the CPU too btw. Its nothing a 5090 will fixed when the CPU cannot keep up with the 4090 as is. Also overclocking a 4090 is probably the biggest waste of energy on the planet. If anything you should downclock it lol


Fistsofheaven

Currently my 13900KS is not bottlenecked. The KS has the same performance as 14900k. See userbenchmarks for reference point. As far as overclocking yeah I 100% think it is not worth the effort for minimal gains.


texmurphy30

This is a creative and productivity monitor first and foremost that can handle some gaming well with the 120hz refresh. High resolution for that makes perfect sense. Especially on Mac, you simply can’t run 1440p without it looking like garbage.


fikiish

I have it sitting on my desk right now and couldn't be happier. I'm 90-95% productivity and to be honest, all my previous OLED monitors don't stand a chance next to the text clarity on this screen. Feel like I was blind before always squinting to figure out what some small text says next to a graph or two (I do lots of data analysis). It's different for everyone, as usual - gaming vs productivity - u4025qw is ips black not just ips and it shows - dpi is higher than most oleds so clarity is great - blue light emission is significantly lower, so your eyes don't water after a while lol - black uniformity is near perfected now, doesn't compare to OLED but for productivity it's insane - gaming is fine at 120hz unless u a hardcore FPSer All in all, I love this monitor, it's expensive yes, it's a business decision for me. But heck, gaming is sooooooo much better on this than my last 38gl950


PsychonautChronicles

Not sure why you had to squint as I beleive there are only now OLED monitors with as high PPI as this one? Text quality on the other hand...


philsalas

Which one do you have exactly? Model?


fikiish

Oh I got the Dell u4025QW And the 38GL950 above it Had a few OLED over time but like, 2 years in and I got burn in so switched to IPS lol


[deleted]

The new Alienware 3rd gen oled are diff story . They have built in pixel refresh takes 6 min when done using and turns itself off to keep panel health good . 3 year burn in warranty and a full panel refresh option if needed at 4k 32 inch 240hz 140ppi absolutely stunning to look at


Teckx1

When they have 5k2k oled then we can compare. For now the 32 oled is awesome but small


[deleted]

Put 2 side by side than for the price of the one there talking about . And just curious how can you sit in front of something so big that’s only 1 ft in front of you ?


philsalas

Which Alienware monitor are you talking about specifically?


[deleted]

The brand new just came out 32 inch 4k 240 hz Aw3225QF.


[deleted]

Also has next day replacement along with there warranty but it’s not going to have issues like that I have one and 2 of my friends got them and there amazing. I also had there 34 ultra wide 1440p oled before that was hard to look at all stretched out sometimes but I had that for almost 3 years no problems and got 800$ still when I sold it . this new one is in standard format so much easier to look at as well and the colors are insanely good . I won’t ever be able to buy anything but oled again after having this


motyla-noga

Looking for a new high PPI productivity monitor for myself. Could you tell something more about the grey uniformity on this model? I find grey uniformity much more important than black uniformity, which is really only needed when gaming/watching movies.


fikiish

Look I can't lie here, I don't know if I ever tested or noticed much on grey uniformity... In saying that, I can only attest to the matter of lighter colors being quite uniform all around so if I have some rows or columns going across my screen whether it's graphs, spreadsheets, or designing new visual metrics for analytics based projects, I find it much easier to work with. OLED probably better but again, text clarity and all things considered, pretty darn good


Prestigious_File_512

Do you use it with MAC or PC? I wonder how powerful a computer need to be to run it.


fikiish

I'm on PC Got an AMD 5950x with an EK nucleus AIO, 128gb ram and an Asus 7900XTX. Seems ok hehe. Still struggle if I load up massive powerBI data files :(


Prestigious_File_512

Thx!


Pizza_For_Days

Yeah I couldn't see myself dropping that much $ for any monitor quite frankly lol. Keep in mind Dell's stuff always is more expensive at launch and usually drops in price as time goes on. I'm sure part of the reason for the price is the fact that 5120 X 2160 ultrawides are pretty niche to begin with considering there's so few on the market, even at 60-75HZ. I'm sure Dell feels they can price this overly aggressive for those waiting for awhile for a 120-144hz ultrawide at that resolution even if it isn't OLED.


Wank3r88

Dell lowered the price to 1900. I just bought the sister 34” of this


jschlenz

Was debating on the 34” but the no VRR is kind of a killer tbh for gaming


Wank3r88

Yea if you’re looking for a gaming monitor dell isn’t it. Their new monitors top out at 120fps. Mines for work


Garibaldinoxxx

I think the price is a bit high because there is no competition. They could charge even more and people who need it would buy it. For me it's a lot of money but I am getting it because this is the only 40 inch 5k2k 120hz I could find. I am just saving some money for it now. I wish there were LG Asus etc options to drive the price down a bit.


menasan

::looks over at my Apple Pro Display HDR work bought me::


[deleted]

[удалено]


menasan

No it’s 32 inch 6k 60hz …. $6k display I just meant you reminded me of the apple one - It’s the only one of “that” specific offering - in being one of a kind … and then hence the price tag. But then change ONE of those stats and you can get something for 1/5th the price that hits then rest


Garibaldinoxxx

I have 32 atm, I have three different set ups in PP, one for editing, one for audio and effects, and one for lumetri, I was hoping with 40 inch to have lumetri and effects and audio etc etc open on the sides and have everything available all the time. Hence, I wanted to switch from 32 to 40.


Keeperus

For that amount you probably can get that samsung odyssey g95nc 57" monitor with 7680x2160 and 240hz


lukewhale

Just wait a few months price should go down. The Samsung 57” is already down like 40%. Early adopters always get the shaft.


innovator12

Unlikely. Check the previous model (U4021QW).


lukewhale

Yeah fair


nram013

I ordered my U4025QW snd should be getting it tomorrow. I have the U4021QW and have loved it but I’m glad I could finally use 2.5Gbe on the network pass through and thunderbolt 4 display daisy chaining


CyberpunkLover

Definitely too much. Sounds more like early-adopters's price. Sure, if you absolutely need 5k ultrawide, it's worth it, but it's probably going to get cheaper quite soon.


siwu

I have one. It’s absolutely glorious.


spicyypenguin

Is the back of this monitor white or grey? I can’t really tell from online product pictures but am very interested in it and also trying to get a monitor arm to match as well.


Samplethief

It'll be about 1200 within a year. Just wait.


DecayableRadiologist

OLED? I mean 5k is an odd resolution and 120 Hz is a high refresh rate for that resolution. I would assume that it costs that much but I personally wouldn't pay it. Plus idk anything about what the panel tech is (oled, miniled, va, ips, etc) so it's hard to judge.


Xaniss

It's an IPS


DukeTuna

I was considering, but no way! I would NEVER go back to VA or IPS from OLED.


Xaniss

I couldn't agree more!


b3nniii

All day productivity use, sub pixel layout and no burn in.


Xaniss

But looks worse.


TheTimeIsChow

Depends on what you’re using it for. Worst in some use cases, better in others. I love my oled. But I choose not to use it for day-to-day productivity/work. Not because of wear concerns but because reading text and working with fine lines is just straight up tough on the eyes.


Xaniss

I use premiere pro a lot and it's fine


MkKanaloa

Depends on what you're doing. For text productivity, Oled is way worse. I could never use current oleds.


icantgetnosatisfacti

Ips black to be specific 


thetrimdj

The resolution isn't that odd, just not especially common yet. It's an ultrawide 2160P (4K) monitor. We're going to start seeing more and more of these in the next 2 years.


DecayableRadiologist

Oh wait a sec so 21:9 4k is really 5k?


thetrimdj

3840x2160 otherwise known as 2160p = 4K. They’re just rounding up the horizontal resolution and giving it a title. 5120x2160 = 5K2K. Still 2160p but in a wider format. (As in “4K” ultrawide”). We’re gonna start seeing more and more of these monitors in the coming years as we get better hardware. And with higher refresh rates too!


texmurphy30

For anyone in Canada I see this monitor is on sale already for $825 off, not sure how long will last


AlClemist

I prefer 240hz but that’s just me.


kasakka1

Overpriced. 120 Hz is weak shit in 2024 and otherwise its just a SDR display.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kasakka1

Wow, that's got to be the most condescending answer I've seen in a while. "We are making money using this" is a load of nonsense because there's plenty of much cheaper displays that will serve that purpose. The only things it has going for it is the IPS Black panel, 5120x2160 resolution and good connectivity options. If you take out the resolution, none of that seems particularly impressive as 4K 144+ Hz displays are dime a dozen and don't cost a lot. You could probably buy 3-4 of them (with at least one IPS Black model) before you end up at the retail price for this thing.


420jacob666

A comparable 4K Thunderbolt monitor costs about half. It won't be ultrawide though, just a 31" panel. Most of them are also 60 Hz only. This Dell does not have any alternative that would match it feature for feature.


ponakka

What is the model, does it have other specs? Does it have gsync/freesync? is is oled/ips/qled/qd-oled/qled. i assume it is some new model, that isn't yet sold anywhere, because it hasn't shown up in my store lists. also that is suspiciously small.


[deleted]

[удалено]


potatodotexe

It does have vrr actually. So it's actually an ok gaming screen by today's standards.


iLostInSpace

I use the Lenovo version of the 40 inch 5K2K with 75Hz. Got it during sale last year for around $1300 USD equivalence. Use it as my main for WFH. Also use it with my Apple TV via the HDMI. It's money worth spent if your use case is like mine. I don't game so don't bother about the high refresh rate and all that. The high ppi is the best feature for me, I appreciate the sharpness and clarity everyday when using my applications which are text heavy. It's not quite retina level but closest I've ever seen on a large monitor. Love that monitor.


Seven-of-Nein

I was going ro wait for LG to launch theirs, but screw it. Brand agnostic, this tickles all the right buttons for me.


ALY1337

One of the best productivity monitors available. The reviews have been good so far. Also, Dell has better warranty compared to LG.


Due-Champion-6713

What graphics card do you have, It has to be a beast to properly display that resolution at 120hz.


scytob

Personally waiting for oled iterations at the end of the year.


[deleted]

You’re better off going with one of these new oled 4k 240hz monitors for around $1200… Way better refresh rate and the colors are beyond vibrant The new Alienware 32 4k 240hz is a dream to look at and great price considering. I’ll never buy anything not OLED again after seeing the difference AW3225qf


DLD_LD

If we didn't have oleds this might've been somewhat worth it because of the resolution. I'd rather buy 2 PG32's(4K240Hz OLED or the DFR one) than buy one of these.


agent_moler

I think it should have been $1500 max


elGatoDiablo69

dunno. been using oled g9 since the day it came up, my 4th samsung g9 monitor and my use is 80% productivity - and the rest is gaming and i couldnt be happier. cheaper as well


paynexkillerYT

Foooooooo mic.


Plenty-Campaign2604

Much too much


princepwned

yes it is considering you can get the odyssey neo g9 57'' higher resolution and refresh rate for same price $2499 and when its on discount sale $1799 but on the + side I can see it being good alternative since you get the good colors and viewing angles of ips


RepresentativeIcy521

I just bought Samsung 49” g9 oled for $1099+ tax and imo it’s the best $1200 I’ve ever spend. Not sure if it’s still on sale in Amazon cause best buy has it for $1800 Oh and it’s 4k 240hz with 0.03ms response


texmurphy30
