Dell - UltraSharp U4919DW

I have used my M4 Mac Mini for productivity with a Dell U4919DW that is 5120x1440 and it is perfectly legible for my old eyes and glasses, but could be better. I am currently using it with a 32” Samsung S32D850 2560x1440 and a 27” Auria Eq276WN 2560x1440 in portrait mode with better display so the text size matches on the monitors. These two monitors provide slightly better quality text, but that may be because I can scale them better than the 5120x1440. I think you will be fine and suggest you try better display to see if it helps your experience.

I use the Dell U4919DW for past 5 years mostly for development and CAD modeling and got no complaints. I am now looking to upgrade to a HDR monitor but the original is solid.

I have been running a 49 inch curved Dell monitor for like 5 years. Love it and have had BetterSnapTool for most of that time. I think there is a way to set snap spaces in the new OS but haven’t messed with it since The snap tool I’m using is working fine.

I'm rocking a Dell U4919DW and it works like a charm. I use BetterSnapTool but there may be something integrated into the OS now for custom window sizes.

I'm currently using a Dell U4919W, and have used a variety of 34" ultrawides before that and don't have any issues. The text won't be as crisp or sharp as the Macbook, and that is fine. The Macbook Airs and Pros pixel density is much higher at 224 ppi, and 254 ppi respectively, when compared to the 110 on the 34" and 49" ultrawide (assuming both are 1440p). As far as I know, I don't think that you can get that kind of pixel density in a monitor. Even Apple's very own studio display and pro display xdr only do 218 ppi. However, with a monitor, you will also be sitting further back, which negates some of the loss of sharpness. If you are doing graphic design or photo editing, your best best would be to go with Apple's own native solution, if sharpness is really that important to you, but you will be playing a pretty penny. If you're just doing regular productivity stuff, and/or enjoying content from the web, I don't think that any blurriness from the monitor would have a massive negative impact on your experience.

I think that is a good thing. So you can fit the whole screen inside your field of view. I got this 49" with 3800R, and that definitely was an early mistake by Dell. I can't see the sides at all, because it's barely curved.

I went from a Dell 34" UW to a Dell 49" UW and honestly the 49" is too wide for productivity. Now admittedly the curve on the Dell is not as aggressive as some of the Samsungs, but the edges of the screen are out of my field of view and require too much rotation of my neck to be useful to me. When I bought the monitor, I thought I was going to make greater use of the picture-by-picture feature to run a customer laptop and my work laptop at the same time but turns out that was not a scenario I really needed (most of my customer's would rather give me a VDI than send me a laptop). I like it for gaming, but I am considering moving to a 38 or 40" 21:9 monitor after tax season.

M2 Mac mini pro with 49" Dell gaming monitor (way cheaper than two massively overpriced Apple monitors) is the best setup I've ever had. You will need menuwhere, though. https://manytricks.com/menuwhere/

Yeah, I just looked up the Dell IPS 49". Price is around $1400. The color accuracy, built-in KVM, and USB-C hub seem great for visual work. I'm guessing the Picture-by-Picture mode helps when switching between devices?

I have a 49" Dell and if I'm honest, I spend 99.9% of my time using the 27" LG Dual Up monitor that's off to the side of it. The 49" is too squat, short. I just bought a 40" curved Dell and the Samsung 57" (that's basically two 49's stacked on top of each other without the bezel.) I'll try them both on the desk for a few days then send the one I don't like back. I'm learning towards the 57 because I love the width, it was just the height of the 49 that I couldn't live with.

Hi, I don't know if this will help you but I use a 49“ ultrawide from Dell 5120x1440 at home and a Lenovo 40” with 5120 x 2160 at work. The text is not blurred on either of them. But i have to say, i also use the native resolution, so there is no scaling
