Dell introduces new UltraSharp monitors with up to 40′ and 5K resolution

Dell announced that it will showcase two new monitors from the UltraSharp family at CES 2024. Models are available in 34″ or 40″ sizes but at very high prices.

The new models are the UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub (U402QW) and the UltraSharp 34 Curved Thunderbolt Hub (U3425WE). Both are built with IPS Black Panel technology, which Dell says offers better color contrast.

The 40-inch Dell UltraSharp has 5K resolution (5120x2160p), 120 Hz refresh rate, 600 nits maximum brightness, and DisplayHDR 600 certification.

On the UltraSharp 34 model, the resolution drops to QuadHD (3440x1440p), but with the same peak brightness and 120 Hz refresh rate, it is unclear whether it has DisplayHDR certification or VRR support.

Two monitors can serve as the central point of a setup focused on versatility. The 40″ model can deliver 140W of power to a laptop via the Thunderbolt 4 port, while the UltraSharp 34 provides 90W of power.

In terms of connections, the pair of Dell monitors have 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports, DisplayPort 1.4, a USB-A and USB-C input (with 15W output and 10 Gbps data transfer), and compatibility with various interoperability features between computers.

Price and availability

At first glance, Dell UltraSharp monitors will be showcased at CES 2024, which is scheduled to take place between January 9-12. The new line will be available at retail on February 27.

Check the price of Dell’s new monitors:

• Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub (U4025QW): from $2,399.99 (~R$11,800);
• Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved Thunderbolt Hub (U3425WE): starting from $1,019.99 (~R$5,000).

These monitors are high-end products focused on gamers or users who are looking for the best possible experience and who cannot resist having a monitor as large as a television with cutting-edge features. Therefore, it is not an ideal product for everyone.

In any case, they are interesting competitors for those looking for something beyond the Samsung Odyssey series with new monitors for 2024. The South Korean manufacturer is betting on unconventional screen ratios but also including smart TV features and interoperability.
