Dell - UltraSharp 38 Curved Monitor: U3818DW

Dell U4025 is rated as one of the best productivity monitors right now. 5K2K, 120hz, 140ppi, IPS. I'm in the same boat that all of the Samsung QA issues are giving me pause, plus the size (15" deep without the stand) would eat up my entire desk. That being said - it's pretty much the king of big displays right now and it's hard to decide. Wish I had a micro center nearby so I could get both and see which one I like better. (Upgrading from a Dell 3818 UW)

Same - I would love a replacement to my Dell 38inch UW but with a OLED panel.

You want one with a higher vertical ratio ideally, makes work much easier. I use the Dell 38" windscreen, I think the 40" is the ideal size and resolution. If you get a monitor with a KVM it makes life a bit easier

PPI has nothing to do with a monitor being 6K, 4K, 2K, or 1080p. It's how many pixels per inch exist in relation to the physical size of the monitor. As for it being 6K, there's no firm answers for a lot of this stuff, especially if you add in different aspect ratios. Plus, this still is labeled by marketers, not technical folk. 6K sounds bigger than 4K, the consumer doesn't care if it's "6000x3000 or more" :). I'm also not sure if a 52" panel is an even cut from the native mother glass used for these panels, if not - that'll drive up cost too. Ultimately though, not everyone who watches LTT is looking for a gaming monitor at all times. If you're too young to be, or just not in the work / productivity world yet then of course you'd have no idea of the benefits of a certain size/aspect ratio of monitor for spreadsheet or document work. I've got a 38" Dell ultrawide and a 32" Dell 16:9 on my desk. Neither prioritize gaming because most of my daily usage is work and that's all IT stuff, I don't need OLED/RGB/what have you for that. But I do need screens of a certain size to see comfortably. Anecdotally - I thought the monitor was cool because it means it will eventually go down in price and make larger size displays (which I like way way way more than 34" ultrawides that I find just wider versions of 27" screens that are small) cheaper.

I bought the Dell S3423DWC for home and I run a 38 version at work. Connect via USBC which provides power - built in KVMs / and spend most of my time with spreadsheets and/or creating wireframes/screen designs for systems to show clients. I’ve loved it. I’ve had one “issue” if you can even call it that 1 screen sharing and showing the wireframes - if I’m on my 34 or 38 and they’re on a normal screen it’s caused a few “issues” - it’s fine you can zoom in it’s not a massive problem but worth knowing if you will be showing your designs that people will just complain that it looks to small. Just tell them to get a widescreen 😂 My main issue now is I want one that works for gaming and for work (the dell is fine but I wouldn’t mind getting something above 100hz). It’s hard to find a 34 with a KVM and geared towards gaming (or maybe it’s not and it’s just a me issue) But yeah honestly for work it’s been so good I can’t go back

Same here. Need 34 - 49 in UW. But OLED burnin and text is issue. So IPS is the safe bet. I have Dell UltraSharps so looking at them.
