The Dell UltraSharp U4919DW is the first QHD 49-inch ultra-wide monitor on the market, and it has me more excited about monitors than I’ve been in a while. Other ultra-wide displays with a 32:9 screen ratio only have a 1080p vertical resolution. The result is a wide, but short user interface. But in Dell’s case, the solution is more pixels and a better viewing angle.

Here’s what is so different about the U4919DW compared to other 32:9 ultra-wide monitors: it’s a dual QHD monitor with a resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels. Besides that enormous display resolution, you’ll be immersed by whatever is on-screen, thanks to the 3800R curvature with 109 pixels-per-inch and 100 percent sRGB support for accurate colors. Like any other ultra-wide monitor, there’s HDMI / DisplayPort / USB-C support, but here’s the kicker: you also have KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) functionality.

Using the U4919DW’s KVM, you can connect one machine via USB-C, plus a second over HDMI / DisplayPort with a USB upstream and use keyboard shortcuts via Dell’s Display Manager app to control both systems with one set of peripherals. It’s a pretty snazzy feature, especially for the clientele for this monitor — specifically those in finance, graphic design, or data analysis sectors.

Dell says the UltraSharp U4919DW will cost $1,699 on October 26th, which is a high price to pay for any monitor. But if you’re in the market for a 4K screen, it’s definitely not as expensive as Acer’s much smaller 27-inch 4K monitor.
