Dell’s 38-inch ultrawide monitor is the display of my dreams

Of all the tech I get to use on a regular basis, my monitor might be my favorite. That may

sound silly if you’ve been using a laptop or a standard desktop monitor for years, but I use an ultrawide display (one that has an aspect ratio of 21:9 or wider) and it’s a massive canvas for me to digitally spread out on. Instead of needing two monitors to display my workspace, I can have all of my windows on the same panel at the same time without having to switch between multiple virtual desktops or split my view between two displays. Once you go ultrawide, it’s hard to go back to using anything standard. For the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of sitting behind Dell’s 38-inch UltraSharp monitor. The best way I can describe this monitor is beastly. It’s only nominally larger than the 34-inch LG monitor I own, but that little bit of extra screen real estate is felt and appreciated when I have six or seven windows open at a given time. (Dell boasts that this display offers 25 percent more screen space than 34-inch monitors.) The UltraSharp is not a flat panel; it has a curve that envelops you with display. It’s easy to dismiss this as a fault — after all, curved TVs have largely offered worse viewing experiences than their flat counterparts. But a monitor is a different thing, it’s designed to only be used by one person at a time and you’re always sitting in the the sweet spot for the best viewing angle. In this case, the curve makes the giant screen more immersive than if it were a flat panel.                                                                                                                 https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/29/16384330/dell-38-inch-ultrasharp-ultrawide-u3818dw-monitor-review
