  • Resolution: 6144 x 2560 @ 120Hz
  • Curvature: 4200R

        You've been downvoted but neither you nor Dell are really "wrong" per se, it does indeed have a horizontal resolution of ~6,000 vertical lines (6,144 in this case) which makes it a "6K" display by definition. It's just that "4K" is the terminology that stuck for referring to UHD displays in general, but it's a terrible way of comparing across aspect ratios like this.

        Don't even get me started on "2K" being used to refer to a monitor with 2,560 vertical lines (28% difference) and not one with 1,920 vertical lines (4% difference). Anyway.

    • tmr3 on 17/01/2026 - 19:46
      +3

      4K refers to the horizontal resolution of a display, so by definition - no, it's not, it's a 6K ultrawide.

      If "4K ultrawide" is meant to refer to an ultrawide monitor with the same vertical resolution as a typical 16:9 UHD monitor (somewhere around ~5120 x 2160, or ~"5K"), 6144 x 2560 is about a 42% increase in pixel count (~15.73 megapixels vs ~11.06 megapixels).

      As far as perceived resolution goes, 6144 x 2560 across 52in is 128.0 PPI, which is like 3840 x 2160 UHD stretched across a ~34in display; a 32in "4K" monitor would be somewhat sharper than this 52in 6K ultrawide at ~137.7 PPI. It's still sharper than 2560 x 1440 across a 27" display, however which is ~108.8 PPI.

              @SkyeMG: that's Dell internal "year" of the model, it may be different from the calendar year it was released, but usually close enough

      57" if it fits

      Had a 49" 32:9 for productivity but wish it had a few vertical pixels

      I'm on 45" 5k2k now and it's borderline too big but gotten used to it, and it's got a decent curve. I think it'd look crap if it was flat at ~80-100cm away
      I like it because at least can fit my speakers on each side of it

      The UltraSharp range is also geared towards professional colour-accurate industries like prepress/graphic design, video and the like.

      There's probably cheaper consumer-grade stuff out there.

    • deanylev on 17/01/2026 - 17:11

      It's fairly likely Dell is using a custom order panel here, as I'm not aware of an off the shelf one with these specs. If so, that would drive up cost significantly.

      World health data shows that 1 in 3 people are now getting Cancer. If you were born after 1980, when making future plans like 10 - 20 years ahead, it's better to assume you will be dead then not and design your TV buying strategy accordingly.

      One difference is that the Dell is IPS and the Samsung VA. Saying that there is no way id ever spend that much money on a dell monitor (or any other product). Dell products in my house have a 100% failure rate across 3 monitors and 3 laptops. Absolute dog shit level quality control

      • Whiplash on 18/01/2026 - 03:20

        Depends what stream you buy. I'm writing this on a U3011. So that's a 15y old 2k monitor that can still hold its own. But it's pro enterprise grade.

    • CrushJelly on 17/01/2026 - 19:13
      +2

      Mini LED is the backlight tech. It still uses a VA panel. IPS is far superior, especially for desktop-monitor application. Viewing angles are far superior, and you don't get ghosting with fast-IPS panels.

      Viewing angles isn't such an issue for a big TV, that sits several metres away from the viewer, but it does matter for a monitor that's intended to be within 1-1.5m of the user.

      • wisc on 17/01/2026 - 23:49

        Id love to see them side by side, maybe it's like digital tv where you don't really notice the difference until you go back to analogue…

        • CrushJelly on 18/01/2026 - 10:56

          I have 3x32" IPS (for the sim racing rig)
          Also a 34" OLED next to a 34" VA panel.

          I used to have a 38" IPS next to the VA panel. The VA panel has a 1000r curve, but the viewing angles are crap. It has to be perfectly centred to my viewpoint, or I can see the colours aren't uniform.

          No such issues with any IPS screen I've had, or the OLED.

          • wisc on 18/01/2026 - 11:52

            @CrushJelly: Awesome thanks for the feedback… I have noticed weird bleeding etc with my panel so suspect OLED could help here after reading that.

      • DannyBoy on 18/01/2026 - 03:17

        Honest question who sits 1-1.5m away from a 52" monitor ?

          Me? With my Samsung.. would be about a metre I guess… Could be closer… Are you saying it's to close or to far?

        • G-Shock on 18/01/2026 - 08:06
          +1

          It's recommended to sit 50-100cm (or an arms length) from your monitor.

          I got 2x 32" 2k curved screens on mounts, I probably sit 800mm or so away. I think people with tiny 4k text display wouldn't need to sit too far away. The wider and bigger the display you can't sit too close anyway.

          You'll find out pretty quickly what is comfortable and can always adjust text scaling.

          Would love the equivalent of what I've got in a single monitor.

        • CrushJelly on 18/01/2026 - 10:57

          I sit 70cm away from 3 x 32" monitors, which would be wider than a 52" ultrawide.

    Wtf - people use 50"+ screens for productivity? How far back are you supposed to sit back from this thing? Both MacOS and WIN have important things in the corners of the screen - so you are constantly doing big head movements? Wouldn't that get straining - as opposed to easily scanning the screen with just eye movements?

    • dontpanic on 18/01/2026 - 00:22

      As someone who works in video, ultrawides are great for being able to view larger timelines. Ultrawides with good vertical pixel density are even better for apps like After Effects where timelines can get stacked with a lot of layers.

    A lot of comments are missing the point of this monitor. It not intended to be used as an one big ass mega screen (even tho you still can). The idea behind it to replace multi-monitor setups. Many devs are using horizontal centre screen with two auxiliaries in portrait mode. Here it can create PBP zones that can be fed from different inputs. It also has a full docking station built-in plus KVM switch. It's a professional tool, in the same niche as Apple displays or Dell's own 6K 32 inch monitor.

    • G-Shock on 18/01/2026 - 11:55

      Yes some fancy features for sure.

      These days it's easy with windows 11 to drag windows to different zones. Dual monitors are traditionally preferred for productively and relatively cheap.

      Although now I think I'd prefer one ultrawide screen (as long as it's got more height than the 34") so no bezel in the middle for games etc.

    I did get one of this (used the Amex Cashbash) so if anyone has any questions specifically about them, I'm happy to answer. It's a big monitor, works well. The PiP/PbP mode works really well. Great as an inbuilt KVM. I use it for work, and I don't play many games, so can't comment on it for that, but as a display for development, and general usage — it seems pretty good.
