Really appreciate the video. Ordered mine, but like many others, there's shipping delays. You're one of the first reviews on KZbin!

[@JayJay_1827]

Didn't find your video until after i placed my order. But ive had it for about a week now and i absolutely love it. Ive had a few gaming monitors in the past but this honsetly feels like my first high end monitor. I use it for work, school and a little bit of gaming. But the muliple layouts for multiple inputs and picture in picture mode is FANTASTIC. I have a MacBook, PC and my Nintendo Switch and i love the ability to see multiple inputs at once.

[@dpatel_tech]

Love it! Thanks for watching and for sharing your feedback as well.

[@Lastpacktears]

Great review as always! This monitor looks fantastic!

Thank you!

I was about to get the LG 5K2K, then I came across this monitor! The first 5K 40” with 120Hz and Thunderbolt 4. How much again for this monitor?? 💸

[@8020Alive]

$1799 on BHphoto and in stock Wednesday 🎉

[@kehindealabi]

The window blind looks great. Could you share link to where you got those? Thanks.

[@Tech_Publica]

I got mine but I am experiencing HUGE problems with the thunderbolt connection with my Macbook Pro 2024... basically the thunderbolt connection drops at random times, or curiously enough when I click on some software on the Dell display (like google maps). HDMI works fine, but it is really a letdown not being able to use the thunderbolt port which save me the use of the power cord and also would allow me to use the monitor as a usb hub... Anyone else having the same problem?

[@vladcode]

Would you recommend this monitor for someone working from home? Normally in the office I use two 24 inch monitors for multitasking... but at home I figured it would be better to buy this monitor maybe and split it into two screens? I was looking at the samsung OLED g9 but I feel like that's a little too big... and not sure about the PPI pixels per inch. Looking for a good display for excel and office work, with light gaming after work.

[@uNki23]

I‘d fear burn in with OLED screens and mainly office work, no?

[@EnWorks]

First time I’ve seen the Display Manager KVM setup. Great to confirm that one PC can use HDMI and the other can use DP. Then both would also need a USB connection?

[@dpatel_tech]

Hi there. My connectivity was one via Thunderbolt, and the other via HDMI and the USB cable. I am not familiar with a way to do HDMI and full size DP simultaneously.

[@salvamando1]

Awesome review, thank you for posting! Do you need to install the Dell software on both computers in order to use the USB KVM? I ask because someone on Reddit claims that at least only one computer needs to install the software.

[@dpatel_tech]

Thanks for watching! I personally haven't played around with the software not installed, as it's critical to my workflow. I suppose you could test it! What's critical is ensuring that if you are using the DP/HDMI cable make sure you have the USB Type A plugged in for the "hub" functionality.

[@jpb2085]

Nicely done, thanks for sharing

[@dpatel_tech]

Thanks for watching!

[@costumedcriminal420]

Great first look! What size text scaling are you using? Are you able to demo the display zones at different text scaling sizes? Particularly interested in how usable 3 vertical display zones are. Thanks!

[@dpatel_tech]

Thanks for watching. I'm typically at 125%. Good feedback for me to demo this in another video when I have more time with the display. I will say it's perfectly useable with 3 vertical display zones - think about Outlook, Browser, Teams side-by-side etc. If you are using Dell Display Manager, play around with Easy Arrange as well.

[@andygaither7026]

My man, would you share where you got that wicked artwork triptych on your wall??

[@Tech_Publica]

Nice video, maybe it would have been even better seeing it "in action" but very through overview! I just ordered mine and it is an agonizing wait till I can put my hands on it hehe... It is taking a month to enter production state and be shipped :(

[@dpatel_tech]

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely looking forward to spending more time with the panel! It's worth the wait. #iwork4dell

[@markusfrommainz]

Showing the box it comes in, which is never used in daily operation, but No word or test on actually connecting his notebook to the screen, actually having 120 Hz and a 2nd screen daisy chained. The presenter only repeats the Dell commercial. In real life many notebook users including Mac book pros have issues in various user forums.

[@BrettSimms]

You cannot turn off the Comfort View feature so the monitor is always yellow-ish. It is useless if you need a color accurate screen at a professional level. Returned mine within a day.

[@stolliepop1]

Is a dell latitude 7440 compatible with U4025QW?

[@dannieduplessis2432]

One of the best reviews i have seen on any monitor. I am not a gamer or into visuals so much, but i do want something for trading with a mac Mini M2. Would it be compatible with a 2024 Mac Mini M2 for txt font and so forth. Thank you.

[@AlejandroAlvarez-pq2mi]

Received mine yesterday!

[@metinelitas9941]

Correction about 13:14 Response time does not change the refresh rate of the monitor. People are saying a recent and powerful GPU is required to drive this screen at 120hz. Can you confirm on advanced display settings in Windows that it actually runs on 120 Hz?

[@dpatel_tech]

The GPU driving the display needs to be able to support the 5K resolution and up to 120 Hz. Refer to your manufacturer specifications in order to determine the maximum performance of your GPU.

[@Dinnu123]

Can it do 5K + 120 Hz + HDR at the same time via DP since it’s only DP 1.4?

[@megoo401]

Is this monitor good for reading text for long hours? Is it good for coding?both of which i like to do with this monitor?

This monitor is for office and multimedia, so yes.

I've been using this monitor for three days, and unfortunately, it's causing me terrible eye strain. Surprisingly, I never experienced headaches with its predecessor, which I also own. I'm not quite sure what's different now. I was eagerly anticipating this monitor, but it's left me incredibly disappointed. Eye strain has been an issue for me in the past, and this monitor seems to exacerbate it.

[@scottbrown7071]

Good to know. Maybe it’s too bright? Maybe the angle of the curve? Are you using it for gaming or for work?

[@ryanhunziker1492]

@@scottbrown7071 using it for work. I tried turning on auto brightness and manually lowering the brightness but that hasn’t seem to help. The next step is to lower the color temperature in the color settings.

[@kaukey]

I still have the old one but I had a bad time until I ran the HDR calibration tool from the M$ store. (It's free fortunately)

[@hiimjonpaul]

Any update on this ? Still have issues ?

[@chrisdg100]

Is it because the text is too small? If so, did you try upscaling the text to 125%?

[@user-nu8bf3bf9m]

I heard usb outlets on U4025QW is pretty loose. How about yours? That's the only thing stopping me from getting this..

[@dpatel_tech]

Hi! I haven’t noticed that with mine.

[@jalsema]

Hi, I have to say than I reallly loved youir review, so much than I am seriously thinking about buying this monitor. However, I am going to have problems with the time delibery and I would have to use a box for e-commerce. Could you tell me the dimensions of the packaging box? I need the 3 dimensions to check if they will accept the package deposit Thank so much!

[@dpatel_tech]

Thanks for watching! Rounding up, the box is roughly about 43" x 22" x 10".

Hi, is the monitor a bridge between the computer connected to him and other devices connected to the screen like USB flash drives and keyboard?

[@Badabing69]

This monitor's pronoun is actually "Her"

[@TheBoymusic14]

I'll keep that in mind. In the tinest part. ​@@Badabing69

[@dpatel_tech]

Yes, you as long as you are connecting via the thunderbolt cable, or the combo of DP/HDMI and USB B/A, the peripherals plugged into the USB ports on the monitor will carry over to your host device. It’s a “hub” in that sense.

[@Dinnu123]

Does it only switch 2 USB devices or all USB devices plugged? If for example I want to switch between 2 computers attached to the monitor a keyboard, mouse, webcam, and audio interface, will it work?

[@djonZvolta]

[@Burbanana]

Just sucks I cant justify to buy Dell products anymore, especially laptops. XPS Line is ruined, Latitude line is too expensive for what you get as a prosumer / 1 man biz. Pricing is the worst, over 3K euros here for that same XPS with a decent 2024 config. I guess this monitor is ok if priiced around 1500 euros.

[@Tech_Publica]

DELL is having HUGE DELAYS in fulfilling orders of this monitor..... very unprofessional ....
