UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor - U5226KW

No scaling issues. I had a Samsung 57, sold him for a Dell 52, best decision. 97% Productivity. MacBook Pro M3 Pro

No pb on Mac (I use it at native résolution). To be concise : - 57 : too much curve, need a desk with a big depth, hiding my speakers, no thunderbolt dock, clicking sound on the left, poor vertical space. - 52 : almost no curve (I would have liked a little more curve, but it is better than the 57 one), more space for the desk, I can see (and hear fine) my speakers, usb-c 1 cable for my MBP (with 2.5GbE), no bug / annoying sound like the clicking one, and a very appreciable vertical space. I will make a dedicated post if some persons asks !

I am also using that setting now and honestly its a comfortable size. However, I wish it would support 120hz on Virtual Screen, I am getting the same artifacts when testing. I hope there will be a fix someday. I wonder why that happens at all.

And you sure that there is no possibility keeping that clarity whilst also maintaining 120hz?

I ordered it earlier today. Can't wait to get it. Expected this Wed. Using it for everything. I work from home and spend a lot of my day working on Spreadsheets and other data sources. My current display is a UltraWide from LG. 1080p. This 6k 52" will be a big jump.

Got it now. Had to order a new GPU. Currently running a GForce RTX 2080. So it only supports up to 4K via HDMI.. 6K is choppy. Ordered a RTX 5060 so I can take full advantage. The display is amazing!!!

I am actually exited for thr 52 inch 5k ultrawides as long as they don't have a steep curve mabe 1800r or something similar. I don't play FPS and I do use multiple screens so the 800r is too much for me.

This one from the post at 52 inch 6144x2560 is 129ppi. The 45-inch 5120x2160 is 125. My lowly 34inch 3440x1440 is 109 So even at that size it has a very nice picture.

It's the significantly extra pixels height that swings it for me

2150 USD in Malaysia (stand-less), with a 10% discount....Will be mine soon. Replacing my 2x43inch 4k dell monitors, though considering keeping those also. It is the pixel height that really interests me. Always need more for Ableton production, or chart work.

I had a Studio Display before and I loved the clarity and the colours. This display doesn't work natively with MacOS for HiDPI. You need to use BetterDisplay with a virtual display mirrored to get "retina" quality. I nearly sent this back until I figured out how to make it work. This means you lose 120Hz and only get 60Hz but ... once it's working, it's glorious. It's not as sharp as the Studio Display (but still plenty sharp) but it's a productivity powerhouse if you're multi-windowing. For example, development work, needing multiple browsers, the text is large and crisp. I can have chat, email, code, two web browsers etc etc all on one screen. It feels very immersive. And the vertical space is fantastic. I'd say ... Studio Display for video/photo editing. Dell for multi-windowing/immersion.

My biggest irritation about this screen is that it's marketed as 21:9 but the pixel ratio is actually 24:10

I have enabled the 8K in BetterDisplay, that was how I finally managed to get a display I was happy with. For me 120Hz on the virtual display was glitchy. I'd get occasional artefacts which bugged me. I don't need 120Hz so I just set it back to 60Hz. That might be because of the number of pixels being pushed or a machine limitation though I'm running a high spec M3 Max laptop so I'd be surprised if it were the latter. The curve is great because the monitor is so big, you have it further back from you. So the curve works nicely. A slightly tighter curve might be better overall but this is good enough. For the me the vertical size and resolution are what make it super immersive. I REALLY love working on this screen. It's just great for multi window productivity with the vertical res being the biggest gain.

Hi there, 1&2: No I am not running at native resolution, macOS sucks at that. It's just too ... unreadable overall. I'm running at 75% resolution via BetterDisplay to get HiDPI (instructions are further down in this thread). That gives me a resolution of 4,608 x 1920 which works beautifully and I love the vertical space. On Windows, I tested it and I could run it at native resolution and it looked really sharp thanks to Windows' superior font smoothing. At 125% scaling it was perfect for me but absolutely usable at native. 3. Comfortable distance is 60 - 80cm. There's a some head turning but at that distance, not enough to make it feel annoying/painful etc. 4. Yes - when running my virtual display to achieve the resolution above, I have to run the virtual display at 60Hz. Any higher introduces artefacts/glitches. So you lose the 120Hz. For me this is fine given my workflow on this monitor. I have a Pro Display XDR also (in another room) so 60Hz is normal for me. My hope is that some time soon macOS will either natively support this resolution or BetterDisplay will without a virtual display. I will say I do think this monitor is exceptional. Deep blacks, lovely build quality, loads of ports. The vertical space is amazing and just overall an excellent screen. I'm very happy with it despite the cost, especially when compared to say e.g. the 6K LG UltraFine I tried which felt lacking.

The dell 5k2k 40” or the 6k 52” will do you wonders. Beautiful text clarity, color accuracy, and dell monitors are usually tanks.
