Dell - UltraSharp 39.7" IPS LED Curved 120Hz Monitor with HDR (USB, HDMI) - Black, Silver, Dual Color

The Dell 4025 40” 5k2k monitor is a super high resolution 5120x2160 monitor with a 120hz refresh rate and miniLED backlight so colors are borderline just as vibrant as OLED monitors, Blacks are truly BLACK, and although being the best monitor ever made for productivity, gaming on it is a one of a kind experience, because this is literally the only monitor on the market with such a high resolution that also has a 120 hertz refresh rate so gaming is smooth as the finest OLED gaming monitors available, but this monitor is higher resolution that any other monitor on the market short of the $6k resolution Apple ProRes monitor that costs over $6000, and the Dell 8k monitor that has higher resolution, but neither of these two aforementioned monitors have a high enough refresh rate to hold a candle to the smoothness offered by this monitor’s gaming prowess! You can’t go wrong with this monitor… Yes it is expensive, but it is WELL WORRH IT, and I could not be more pleased with my purchase! If you’re looking for the best of the best for Productivity but enjoy a little gaming on the side (in my case, Microsoft Flight Simulator is my Vice, then you owe it to yourself to give this monitor a try. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. It is simply the best monitor currently on the market, PERIOD… Oh and I completely forgot to mention that it comes complete with a full fledged, full featured thunderbolt 4/USB/USB-C dock built in with at least 12 ports, a feature set that would cost an extra $300-$400 on its own as a standalone dock if it wasn’t built into this monitor, including 140W charging over USB-C/Thunderbolt, enough power to charge a brand new MacBook Pro at FULL SPEED! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This new 5K monitor is a big difference coming from my Ultra Wide 1080 P monitor that I’ve had for 10 years. The image screen is very clear so it makes it easier to read so my eyes don’t get as tired, doing productivity work and all the port options and built-in KVM switch, make it easy to switch between different computers, and use the same keyboard and mouse.

I use this monitor in the office and it works excellently. Compared to a standard HP monitor it presents text and images much more clearly. I also notice that my eyes are less fatigued at the end of the day when using this monitor. I highly recommend this monitor in any work related setting.

I bought this monitor to replace a 38" LG Ultrawide display that lasted less than 4-months. Needless to say, I am very happy that the LG broke as it gave me an opportunity to upgrade to this Dell 5K2K monitor. I use this with my MacBook Pro M3 Pro and it delivers all the goods. 120Hz refresh is great, colors are amazing, adjustability - height, tilt, pivot, are great and so is cord management. I love the fact that this becomes a defacto dock if you use the Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. I have webcam, 2.5Gb ethernet and speakers all hooked up to it and got rid of the external dock I used to use and reduced the clutter on my desk. The pop down usb hub on the bottom left of the monitor is a godsend when you need to juice up the wireless keyboard or attach external storage. Now, here are some not-so-goods: The monitor is a bit thick so mounting certain webcams and being able to tilt to position them properly may be difficult. The joy con for adjusting the monitor's settings is at the bottom right corner, and takes some getting used to. I wished you could select a default to come up when you first use it. I would set it to volume control. But it remembers the last setting you adjusted, so sometimes just to adjust the volume of its built-in speakers can be cumbersome. Although the monitor does have an antiglare coating, it is not quite as effective as LGs. As such, if you are in a bright room, glare could become an issue.
