Dell U4919DW with 49″ UltraWide IPS Panel and 5120 x 1440 Resolution

Dell have announced today the release of a new 49″ ultrawide curved monitor in their ever popular UltraSharp range. The U4919DW will be the World’s first 49″ ultrawide with a dual Quad HD resolution of 5120 x 1440, delivering the resolution equivalent to 2x 27″ 1440p displays side by side. This is aimed at general office and business customers looking for a large screen for multi-tasking and increased productivity.We have already recently seen the Philips 499P9H announced as well with this same screen size and resolution (expected Q1 2019) but it looks like Dell will be racing to release their screen first to market as early as this month in the US.

The screen will offer a 5120 x 1440 resolution, 5ms G2G response time, 60Hz refresh rate,  1000:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m2 brightness, 178/178 viewing angles, 1.07b colour depth and 99% sRGB gamut.

The U4919DW uses LG.Display’s latest LM490DQ1 IPS technology panel, unlike the Philips which will use a Samsung VA panel.  It is curved with a 3800R curvature and has a 32:9 aspect ratio.  The screen comes factory calibrated as well with a DeltaE <2 specified. Low blue light modes and a flicker free backlight are offered for user comfort, which is always good news.
