Dell’s new flagship monitor isn’t an 8K monitor, but it’s curved, has 2.5 GbE ports, 140W power, and displays 11 million pixels at 40 inches
Dell has unveiled its latest flagship display at CES 2024, the UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U4025QW). Despite not being an 8K monitor, the 40-inch 5K screen has a lot to offer, and is the first in the world to achieve a five-star eye comfort certification.
The ultra-wide U4025QW has a curved VESA DisplayHDR 600-certified screen and uses IPS Black Panel technology for superior color contrast and intricate details in 5K resolution (5120×2160). For color-critical tasks, the U4025QW covers 99% of the DCI-P3 / Display P3 color space.
The business monitor also features Thunderbolt 4 support, allowing the convenience of a single cable with a power supply of up to 140W. High-speed wired Ethernet connectivity at 2.5 Gbps is also available via an RJ45 port. HDMI 2.1 FRL (Fixed Rate Link) and DisplayPort 1.4 complete the range of connectivity options.
Kind to the eyes
The UltraSharp display is the first to receive TUV Rheinland’s five-star eye comfort certification. Dell says this was achieved by doubling the refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz for smoother visuals, integrating an ambient light sensor for automatic brightness and color temperature adjustments, and improving Dell’s ComfortView Plus to reduce exposure to harmful blue light. reduce from 50% to less than 35%.
