Current 57" Neo G9 panel type is VA not IPS. This difference helps the Dell's pixels look better at the same PPi. 8:45

With all the larger size ultrawide monitors (LG's OLED 39" and 45") coming with a dissapointing 3440x1440 resolution, this monitor felt perfect to me since it was high res to support the 40" size while having above 60hz. Praying next gen OLED ultrawides come with high res like this

iMac users beware! Bought this monitor this week as a dual iMac Pro and PC monitor, and discovered to my dismay that the Dell Display Manager KVM software does not support iMacs! While the iMac connectivity works fine via the thunderbolt cable, I wanted to be able to use keyboard shortcuts instead of the rear buttons to switch between computers, but Dell's KVM software refused to install on an iMac. After pounding the desk for awhile, I found—in teeny print at the end of the Display Manager manual—that oops iMacs are not officially supported! Huge disappointment for an $1800 monitor to not support this functionality for a whole class of Macs (many still in production BTW), and shame on Dell for not being up-front about this (they simply say "and it works for Mac!"). As a workaround, the 3rd-party utility BetterDisplay enables this functionality so I eventually got shortcuts working as desired. Overall I'm happy with the quality of the hardware, but come on Dell, why limit the software functionality?!
@jaredgillespie3278
If its an ultrawide monitor I do not see why people would not want it curved, makes no sense to me.
@echtogammut
At the old price of $1200-1500, this monitor was a steal, I wish I knew about it several months ago. At $2000, this is a much tougher sell. It's basically everything I want in a monitor sans OLED. I'm currently running a 42" LG C4, because I couldn't find anything better for the money.
@shinraorg
I've gone through A LOT of monitors, and this is the best for work and gaming. It all comes down to the PPI. And dell is the only one making higher PPI monitors. If you love retina screens, you will enjoy this.
@curtkennedyscorner1000
What's the best way to get the 120hz refresh rate. Online perspectives are saying the supplied cables don't have the capabilities etc. Right now I'm capped at 60Hz.
@nikolajpetrov8262
At 11:14 you say that you are able to reach full native resolution at 120 Hz on a MacBook Pro M1 Pro. Is that actually correct? I red on reddit multiple times that this would not work and you would need at least an M2 MacBook to reach the 120 Hz. Could you check this as this hold me back until now.
@theseb1979
Thank you. I’ve just ordered mine. This is what I’ve been waiting for. 5k2k and high refresh.
@CaseyHardman
I'm late to watching this, but I've had this monitor since it's release and can honestly say it's THE perfect monitor for me. I'm primarily using it on an Ergotron LX with my 5950X + 4090 build and sometimes my M3 MacBook Air. I've gone from 34" IPS ultrawides to the infamous 42" LG C2 and then to the Alienware 38" ultrawide. For what I do, which is mostly productivity (video editing, photo editing, managing socials, project management) and very occasional gaming, this thing checks every box for me. I desperately missed the C2's 4k vertical resolution but dearly missed ultrawide, so this was easily the best route for me. The curve is fine - not super curved but definitely enough. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and a bit more than some other options, but if your use case is similar to mine, I highly recommend it!

PSA. You can get 4k 120Hz for consoles (well I only have Xbox but might work for PS5). If you set the PBP to 75/25 with the XBOX on the 75 side of the screen. You'll magically get the option for 4K UHD and then select 120Hz. You get a true 4k resolution with no black bars. Plus, bonus, you get space on the other side of the screen for your PC for browsing/discord whatever.
@dannieduplessis2432
I revisited this site for the Dell and now that the M4 Mac Mini is out, this will be the monitor I buy to go with my new little toy. Know that what you do helps enhance peoples lives. Thank you.
@MattG1027
13:05 I've been looking for a video that shows this (two computers plugged in displayed side-by-side simultaneously)! Thanks for confirming this is possible. Question though, how does the Keyboard/Mouse part of the KVM switch work in that situation? Can you toggle them back and forth between your machine on the left half and machine on the right half of the display seamlessly? One of my use cases is having two work laptops that I have to be on all day, and I'm trying to find the most elegant way of getting them both visible on larger screens simultaneously and not having two keyboards/mice to mess with. Follow-up question, what cables are you running back to both computers (upstream?) for KVM functionality? Like I assume one laptop gets the Thunderbolt 4 upstream cable with 140w PD to provide KVM+power, and then how about the other laptop? Does it get its KVM through a single USB-C upstream port on the Dell monitor, and then just needs to be plugged into power separately? Or would the USB-C upstream port only do data (Keyboard/Mouse) and I need to plug in HDMI or DisplayPort cables for the video? Sorry for the confusing questions, hope they make sense. . Also, what's up with the PS5 not getting 4K/120 Dell?! I was looking forward to trying that
@David-x8o6k
Hi Pete. I really enjoyed this video but I’m still struggling to understand the concept of MacOS scaling and how much consideration I should place on it when selecting a productivity monitor for my Mac. Do you have any plans to produce a video discussing this issue in more detail? I’ve found current YouTube content on the topic very vague & I really like the way your videos explain things in lay-man’s terms. I’m sure there are many viewers that’d benefit from your explanation, particularly given the highly expected new MacMini release later this month.
@SchotJason
I’ve been eying this monitor for a long time but in another review it was mentioned it did not work at 120hz full resolution on a MBP M1 Pro. Are you 100% sure it does? It would basically seal the deal for me. 11:36
@yangjiazhen
Thanks for great review. I just have a general question for these ultra wide monitors which none of the review videos seem to mention. What happens if you share your screen during a Microsoft Teams call? Does it compress the 21:9 ratio to a 16:9 ratio or it is managed cleverly?
@simonmanigel5087
Hello, great video, thank you so much for it! Could you let me know if this monitor supports HiDPI resolution/settings? I have an M4 Pro Max. Best regards, Simon from Germany
@dwo2902
I have an M2 Pro Mac mini currently using 2 external monitors primarily for productivity (programming). I'd like to go to three, but that means I'm limited to 60 Hz refresh rate. Would this monitor be worth it, or should I just get a 3rd Dell 27"?
@ftm84
Great review. I just purchased the Mac Studio M2 Ultra and trying to find just the right monitor. I do mostly video and photography editing. I've been looking at this Dell along with the LG 40-WP95C. Any thoughts? Thank you!!
