Huge, immersive OLED, but 800R curve distorts productivity.

I work during the day and game during the night on a LG 45" 5k2k. Whilst its good for productivity, the curve is honestly annoying for it and if I wasn't gaming, would drop to the Dell 40" 5k2k IPS.
Hey, I'll chip in since I'm in the same boat, I can also grab U4021QW for $600 in perfect condition and warranty and I've been eyeing U4021QW - these can be had for around $900 if you get lucky. U4021QM is 60Hz, both HDMI outputs can only do 30Hz so you need to use USB-C and/or DP. U4025Q is 120Hz and there was a recent firmware update that addresses some MAC issues. I'm personally rocking AW3821DW and U3818DW. I do enjoy playing games here and there but I see no difference 60Hz vs 144Hz when it comes to productivity. I may grab U4021Qw just to check out since the price is so good. It's up to you how much you want to spend. HTH.

The Dell 40” IPS 5k2k is an end game office monitor setup, so if LG’s quality is good and QC is good, you’re more right than you think.
For me who plays games like Europa Universalis when not editing my photography hobby thats why Dell is king. On top of all that it’s nice to be able to have my large excel sheets fully visible without having to put on my readers because the text is too small. It just fit everything for me. The key words are obviously “for me.”
The dell 5k2k 40” or the 6k 52” will do you wonders. Beautiful text clarity, color accuracy, and dell monitors are usually tanks.
Yes , i recommend the DELL 40" ( 5k x 2k ) IPS !
I’ve had two of the U4021 versions for 3.5 years now. They are near perfect productivity monitors, and I imagine the U4025 is even better.
Are you a Mac user? I would love to know what the MacOs scaling options are. I currently use stacked Dell U4021QWs. I’m also curious about your impressions regarding 140ppi vs. 129ppi. So please report back on Thursday!
Do you stack them? I’ve stacked the 40” Dells for about 5 years now. I love them, but have been considering an upgrade and this new 52” panel might fit the bill.
I had the 4021 before the 4025. Couldnt tell the difference tbh (yes, one is 60Hz the other is 120Hz, still couldnt tell them apart).
5120x2160 (Dell) and 5090 here With DLSS and RT Medium (I think?) I get around 80 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 and less in STALKER2 (RDR2 does better, above 100). So yeah, I expect to be limited in future and more demanding titles. EDIT: dont get me wrong I have no regrets, my primary use is productivity and 5k2k is a great resolution. If I was primarily a gamer I would stick to a lower resolution for now.
