Dell Announces New UltraSharp Monitors with Thunderbolt 4 and 120 Hz Refresh Rate
Raising the bar and becoming a CES 2024 Innovation Award Honoree, Dell Technologies is introducing the world's first 40-inch 5K monitor certified for five-star eye comfort, the Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U4025QW). Marking nine years of being an industry leader in PC monitors, Dell continues to push the boundaries of display innovation, bridging the gap for those who demand ultimate performance with the best technology and design.
Whether you're a content creator, data scientist or engineer, or you just need a monitor to keep you in your flow—a device with the best value in precision and efficiency is critical to keeping you productive in any work environment. Known for outstanding visuals, the U4025QW is a must-have for professionals who require clarity and remarkable color. This ultrawide curved VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified monitor comes with IPS Black Panel technology for greater color contrast and intricate detail in 5K resolution (5120x2160).
Enhancing Eye Health with the New UltraSharp Monitor
As we continue to innovate to provide the best viewing experience, we have also partnered with TUV Rheinland in enhancing eye wellness. Dell's UltraSharp monitors are the first to have TUV Rheinland five-star eye comfort certification, a new industry standard for eye comfort to help reduce signs of eye fatigue. Dell was the first to meet this new industry standard by achieving three things:
When it comes to tasks requiring pinpoint color accuracy, a monitor isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity for ensuring your work looks as vibrant and true-to-form as intended. This monitor boasts a 99% DCI-P3 / Display P3 color space, perfect for those color-critical tasks. Users can also easily calibrate the colors on their screen with Dell Color Management software.
This monitor goes above and beyond with its connectivity options, offering Thunderbolt 4 for single-cable convenience with up to 140 W power delivery. It also supports high-speed wired Ethernet connectivity at 2.5 Gbps via RJ45, along with HDMI 2.1 FRL (Fixed Rate Link) and DisplayPort 1.4 for smooth image transmission, minimizing any loss in visual quality. The UltraSharp monitor is presented in a premium platinum silver finish for a clean aesthetic, and its intuitively designed front-facing quick access ports make it easy to connect your external devices.
If you're looking for a smaller size display, the new Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U3425WE) will be available with WQHD resolution (3440x1440) and offers many of the same great features including TUV Rheinland five-star eye comfort certification, IPS Black technology and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity (up to 90 W power delivery).
Advancing Sustainability
We have increased our commitment to more sustainable materials in both production and packaging processes. Made from 100% recycled and/or renewable content, the packaging used to protect the UltraSharp monitors brings us one step closer to meeting our ambitious 2030 Goals. Both the U4025QW and U3425WE monitors are made from 85% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and 100% recycled aluminium.
These monitors also meet the latest environmental standards such as EnergyStar and TCO Certified Edge and are EPEAT Gold registered. Dell is an EPEAT Climate+ champion and has the industry's widest portfolio of monitors achieving the EPEAT Climate+ designation, meaning these products have met the industry's best practices for sustainability and emissions reductions.

Dell's UltraSharp monitors are the first to have TUV Rheinland five-star eye comfort certification, a new industry standard for eye comfort to help reduce signs of eye fatigue. Dell was the first to meet this new industry standard by achieving three things:
- We doubled the refresh rate, going from a 60 Hz to 120 Hz refresh rate, to deliver smoother and sharper motion visuals.
- We built in an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness and color temperature according to ambient light condition. Recent studies show this can reduce the frequency of eye fatigue signs by 7% to 17% compared to a screen maintaining constant brightness.
- We improved Dell ComfortView Plus by reducing harmful blue light exposures with more advanced LED backlight, going from 50% exposure to less than 35% exposure. Research shows this can reduce signs of eye fatigue by 8% after 50 minutes of performing a search task.

My kingdom for Dell to do a version in Alienware guise.
No AI in the title you're slipping :slap:

Speaking of which, 120Hz on an Ultrasharp is a first I think. Finally prosumer monitors stop asking exorbitant price tags for 60Hz panels?
Where is the AdobeRGB spec. DPI-P3 is relevant to video work, for stills we need the AdobeRGB gamut to be around 100% too. Also is it a true 10 bit panel or 8bit + FRC BS?
If price is right and the AdobeRGB gamut is good it'll be worth a look, but would have preferred mini-led and HDR1000
Out fucking standing dell, pat yourselves on the back for doing something right for once.It has HDMI VRR which is basically freesync with a slightly more limited range.Depends on what you consider trash, for twitch gamers sure but this is still only a 120hz panel and IPS black was not particularly fast to begin with. It's not the greatest gaming monitor by any stretch of the imagination and a business monitor will certainly never compete in that market, but it's otherwise very serviceable and an awesome step up from the 60hz stagnation.Not the first but it's a recent thing. The first were the new 24'' FHD regular IPS they launched early in the summer followed up right after by 27'' IPS Black 1440p. They're going for a new certification from TUV that requires 120hz, a bit gimmicky but at least it raised the quality bar instead of just being a marketing stickerIf it's 99% DCI-P3 it will also be at least 99% AdobeRGB. Certainly not true 10 bit, just as it doesn't have DP 2.1 and the limited local dimming will be as much garbage as the HDR600 certification
Still, you can't win it all. I'm still amazed at how many things they got right.
It's very expensive because it's a business monitor, luckily Dell is very fast at introducing discounts in a miriad of ways. There's also nothing else quite like this on the market and it's a segment no one is running to fill, most ultrawides are 34'' or 49'' 32:9 monsters, 38'' and 40'' are few and always much more expensive as a result. LG might launch their own version of the monitor, but it also might not as it is embracing OLEDs and 40'' is very niche - it didn't do one for the previous version of this ultrasharp for example.
