I wish they wouldn't make me scroll through two pages of animated backgrounds just to see the actual monitor. That said if I would spend this much on a monitor I would prefer the Samsung Odyssey Neo, which has a 5K resolution on a curved 49' display with a 240 Hz refresh rate, HDR 2.000 and G-Sync/Freesync. I guess the color space coverage is not as good though, and it's not as bright at 420 nits, though that's more than bright enough for me.

Toilet paper monitors. Can't be serious with that. Here's a good one: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-40-curv...

The 300 nits brightness kills this model for me. With my desk sitting next to a window, even with indirect sunlight anything below 400-500 nits starts having usability issues. I could lower the shades but I'd much rather let the sunlight in.

I have several Dell monitors (writing this on a 27' 4k S2721QS), they're absolutely awesome for office work. Sometimes I crave for a higher refresh rate though, I have another ultrawide monitor with 144 Hz refresh rate and it really makes a difference, I find.

Wow, that looks awesome. I like the Apple displays but I'm into seriously wide aspect ratio stuff lately.

I was checking on some comically wide Samsung monitors however I wasn't impressed with the build quality.

Just 140 PPI? Can’t be serious with that.

I have no idea how people can work with such low pixels density, really - I’ve tried and it's just impossible.

only 60hz though, which might be a dealbreaker for some

That is clearly a gaming monitor. No-one would want to do the sort of workloads this display is aimed at on something like that.

I learned a long time ago to hit "Tech Specs" on the top right instead of sitting through the ridiculous marketing pages (especially since they have awful performance on Firefox for some reason).
