Dell’s newest monitor is a 49-inch, dual QHD, curved behemoth
Ultra-wide monitors are overwhelming yet impressive to behold, and Dell thinks it has made one that will appeal to all types of professionals. The new U4919DW UltraSharp 49-inch curved monitor nods to the massive gaming monitors made by Samsung, MSI, and others, but it adds a workplace spin while upping the resolution to QHD.
Dell describes the U4919DW as the equivalent of two 27-inch monitors stuck together, and its dual mode cements that comparison. Users can fill the entire screen with their desired programs, or they can split it down the middle so the display literally looks like a beast with two heads—two different screens sitting side by side on a single stand.
While one person could use this monitor and bask in its 5120×1440-resolution glory on their own, Dell designed it to accommodate two people (or two digital work spaces). Its Picture-by-Picture mode lets you connect two PCs to the monitor at once, viewing one machine's content on the right side of the monitor and the other PC's contents on the left. Using Dell's Keyboard, Video, and Mouse feature, one wired or wireless keyboard and mouse can control both PCs as well.
