Dell UltraSharp U4919DW Monitor Review

[Julio Franco]

Dell's UltraSharp U4919DW is a 49-inch monitor with a 5120 x 1440 resolution, giving it a 32:9 aspect ratio. This display is equivalent to two 27-inch 1440p displays side by side without a bezel in-between. So if you were planning to run with a dual-screen 1440p setup, something like the U4919DW might be a better choice.

How could anyone try to game on something like this? For me those Ultrawide monitors aren't high enough

I'd need the Alienware equivalent of this.

I'm not sure this is practical. How wide do you want to go? Maybe suitable for split-screen multiplayer games.

While this monitor isn't targeted at gamers, it's aspect ratio is 32:9, meaning that it's the size of 2 proper 27" inch 16:9 monitors. So it's not short like your usual ultra wide, but short monitors. That being said, I prefer 16:10.

Wallpaper link or this monitor didn't happen.

Seems good for pros who need that space without the bezel. For everyone else it makes more sense to just get two monitors.

"And overall I think this is a much better option for productivity than a 1080p class equivalent, the higher 5120 x 1440 resolution makes a huge difference."

Totally agree on office usage of this monitor. However for regular consumer practicality, or a person working at home I'd like to see a 37" version of this monitor (one and one half 27-inch 1440p monitors) with overall resolution of 3840 x 1440...

"Dell will sell you two UltraSharp 27-inch 1440p monitors for $350 each, or two with PremierColor for $550 each, both options cost less than this 49-inch superultrawide at $1350."

The initial price is higher than justification. It shouldn't be more than $1000. Also the base should have been used to house some USB out ports and wireless charging pad.

Im waiting for the Samsung C49RG9 49" 32:9 120 Hz Curved FreeSync HDR 1000 nits LCD Gaming Monitor review although it is a VA panel it has better overall specs than all other monitors in this aspect ratio for gaming.

That Samsung monitor looks amazing; on paper, at least. I need to research more on it.

I remember when I used to raid in vanilla WoW, having a dual Viewsonic 15" setup (each having a resolution of 1280*1024). I'd have the game one screen and TeamS peak and Ventrillo on another screen with ElitistJerks' site open in Firefox (to review boss strategies and such); periodically glancing over from one screen to the other.

I don't raid anymore, let alone play WoW (or any other MMOs). But at least with a single double-wide monitor, I can connect my desktop and consoles into it and bounce between either console via PiP selections at will.

Just why, exactly, does tech spot show pix of a monitor to be seen on our so so ones that cannot show any more quality than they can? Talk about dumb...

 

[bdillard]

When they release a 55" I'll be looking forward to replacing my two 32" monitors!

 

[fktech]

Very nice!

It looks like a tapeworm. For flight sims I'd rather have 3 monitors than this one ultra-wide, which only replaces 2 monitors. And for anything else other than simulations I'd rather have some space filled by height, where the monitor lacks, rather than moving my head left and right like watching a tennis match.
