  • The Dell U4919DW is an ultrawide monitor that came out a few years ago. At the time it was a revolutionary 49 inch quad HD curved monitor with ultra wide views, multitasking features and seamless connectivity for an immersive work experience. So how does it stack up today against newer ultrawide monitors like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9
    Check out my review of the Dell U4919DW Ultrawide Monitor!

    Thank you Eric! Perfect review! Straight to the point.
    I believe reviews should be as generic as possible, because as different people, we tend to carry out varied usages and draw out varied benefits from the same products. And this review expresses the perfect understanding of that notion.

    One of the reasons I clicked on your video is you ALSO have a dual monitor setup. Meaning you actually want a better vertical vision.
    I run a 3 monitor setup, one of them is set to Portait. So even though , IF, one day I get this baby, seems I would still neeed those extra monitors.
    Currently have 1x FHD on Portait, 1x QHD on Landscape and 1x FHD on landscape. If you add the horizontal pixels, those 3 are a bit more than this monitor.
    So even though you didn't talk about your 2nd monitor, it's clear that I can't just throw away a visual setup I'm so used too

      It's not bad honestly and with a deeper desk it won't be an issue. Still prefer this over a 1000R curve. 1800R would be the sweet spot though.

      All of them are from this app called Wallpaper Engine. You can filter by ultrawide resolutions and you'll get a lot of cool options to pick from. These are user based creations so you'll never run out of new wallpapers to pick from. You can even make your own too.

    Hey Eric, thanks for the review. I've had this monitor for several years now and have never been able to get it to work as a single monitor???? It behaves as two separate screens without the gap in the middle. Both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro see it as two separate displays. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    • @EricTMeraki

      Probably the input you're using. Check the cables. It could be a Mac setting as well. I'm more of a windows guy so it could be more relaxed to os settings.

      You can use half the screen for another device if you use the PBP mode. There's no cable input for TV. If you mean like if you plug in a Chromecast would you be able to use the half to display. In theory, yes, but I haven't tested it.

    Why you didn't get a Samsung 49" ultra wide? That is curved and has probably more than 60hz refresh rate? your answer can help me decide which product to pick? thank you

    • @EricTMeraki
      @EricTMeraki  Год назад +2

      I use this for office work and video editing, not gaming. It works fine for non competitive gaming. IPS panel is better for color accuracy and clarity. Dell is well built and reliable.
      The Samsung is more for gaming, but it is also known to have some manufacturing flaws that I didn't want to have to potentially deal with.
      Both are good options but if you want to game go for a monitor with a higher refresh rate.

      The resolution of this monitor would be less than 2 4K monitors combined. I replaced my dual monitors with this one and it works well for my use case. Not sure about the dock part though but this monitor has a good amount of inputs so you won't need an extra dock.
