Dell has been at the forefront of the PC market for decades and with good reason, because it’s consistently bringing top products to market, such as the new UltraSharp 40 curved display that it just announced at CES today. This new 40-inch ultrawide monitor is one of two new UltraSharp displays that Dell is introducing. The other is the UltraSharp 34. It’s a smaller display so it’s intended for those that are looking for something a little more compact, but not too compact. At 34 inches it’s big enough to fit all of your work on-screen without taking up too much space on your desk.
Both monitors are set to be released globally on February 27 of this year in the US. Both should also be available directly from Dell as well as various retail partners. They’ll come at a cost though. The Dell UltraSharp 40 will start at $2,399.99. And for a 40-inch monitor that’s certainly a bit of a steep price. The smaller UltraSharp 34 will retail for a starting price of $1,019.99 making it a little more manageable for the everyday consumer.
Something to consider though, is that both of these monitors are geared towards content creators and professionals. Specifically, those that want a monitor that delivers high color accuracy and vibrant, clear picture quality.
The Dell UltraSharp 40 announced at CES is the first monitor to come with a new screen health certification
Dell’s latest UltraSharp monitors are introducing a range of new improvements over past iterations. Such as a better refresh rate on the UltraSharp 40, which has been doubled, bumping up from 60Hz to 120Hz. This makes it a little more viable as a gaming monitor. If gaming is something you would do in your downtime. In addition to the boosted refresh rate, the UltraSharp 40 and the UltraSharp 34 come with a new ‘Eye Health’ certification from TÜV Rheinland.
This new industry standard, Dell says, aims to combat eye fatigue. If you’ve ever sat in front of a computer for long periods of time, day after day, then you may have experienced eye fatigue. These new monitors are designed to help reduce the signs of it. While not getting rid of eye fatigue altogether, the Eye Health-certified monitors should help lower the strain. And that should sound good to anyone who needs to work in front of a computer all day.
The Dell UltraSharp 40 is also a 5K monitor with a 5120 x 2160 resolution. Promoting enhanced clarity and detail with highly accurate color contrast. Additionally, it supports DisplayPort 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4. The Thunderbolt 4 port can even be used as a single cable for 140W power delivery.
Dell’s smaller UltraSharp 34 offers many of the same features
It won’t have the larger display or the 5K resolution panel (opting for a 2K panel instead), but it does come with the same Eye Health certification making it a good alternative. It has the benefit of taking up less surface area. But it also costs more than $1,000 less than its larger counterpart. Dell is also implementing the same Thunderbolt 4 support for single-cable power delivery up to 90W.
