Отзывы о 49" Монитор DELL UltraSharp U4919DW, 5120x1440, 60 Гц, IPS

I've been using the Dell U3415W for a few years now as my primary "work" monitor. In fact, it's sitting right next to the new U3419W for comparison. I also have an extensive background in IT where I've become quite familiar with the technology behind displays. I've owned and worked with more displays than I can possibly recount. Before we get too far, let's start with the pros, cons, and then jump into the review.

PROS:
* Excellent picture quality from this IPS display
* Ultra-wide 21:9 monitor perfect for productivity
* Factory calibrated out of the box
* Has potential as a gaming & entertainment display
* Great quality construction
* Multiple input and connectivity options
* USB-C Video & Peripheral Support (i.e. KVM)
* More immersive and drastic "curve" than before
* Physical Button controls
* Useful Monitor Control Software
* Picture-in-Picture Support
* Surprisingly usable internal stereo speakers

CONS:
* Minor but noticeable Back Light Bleed (See update below)
* Expensive

UNBOXING & SETUP

First thing to note is that this is a large monitor and will ship in a large box. The monitor, stand, and base are all clearly very high quality. Exactly as you'd expect from a Dell Ultrasharp Monitor. Assembly takes about as long as it does for you to pull it out of the box, toss on the stand/base, and plug it into your system.

Since the monitor is already calibrated from the factory, you don't have to do anything. If you do, the controls now feature physical buttons. Which let's face it, always work better than the touch controls. In particular from the previous models. Although I do recommend installing the Dell monitor software. It loads up the correct driver and allows you to adjust display settings. In addition, it can automatically switch display profiles depending on the content, if you prefer.

CONNECTIONS

Given this is a high-end monitor, you've got all of the ports you need. As well as a new one. Two HDMI ports, One DisplayPort, USB-C, Audio Out, USB Downstream Port (to PC), AC Power, and Two USB 3.0 Ports on the left side.

The most intriguing is the USB-C Port. If your system supports, which my Dell XPS 15 and 13 do, you can use a single port for everything. Meaning it will output video and use your keyboard/mouse if they are connected to the monitor's built-in USB hub. In my case, I'm using a Logitech wireless receiver.

This basically means you have a KVM built right into your monitor. That's super convenient.

PICTURE QUALITY

As you'd imagine, the display itself is fantastic. Sitting next to the U3415W, you can already see the noticeable improvements. It's brighter overall and colors tend to stand out much more. That's not to say the 2015 model is bad. It's just that the 2019 model is that much better.

Even sitting at the desktop, it's great. Playing games is equally enjoyable. Although as with all Ultra-Wide monitors, games that only support 16:9 will result in black bars on the left/right. That is a bit annoying. But something that effects all monitors of this type.

Watching movies is also great, but that's one area I wasn't blown away by. The contrast ratio and black levels are still not quite as good as what you might see certain monitors (or TV's being used as a monitor). Perfectly acceptable, but just something to be aware of if that was a primary use case.

THE CURVE & LIGHT BLEED

Compared to the "old" 2015 model, the 2018 has a considerably more noticeable curve. While the old model was barely perceptible unless you looked at an angle, this one is nearly twice as curved. You'll notice this no matter how you are looking at it. Which is not a bad thing. I actually like it. It makes for a much more immersive experience. I just find that I'm wanting to position the monitor closer so I can get the best use out of it.

The big problem with curved monitors, is light bleed. And unfortunately, with double the curve, means double the light bleed. I actually had an LG ultra-wide that was flat, no curve. It had zero light bleed. Jumped to the U3415, and right away, saw noticeable light bleed in the top corners.

Then we jump over to the 3419W and there is even worse light bleed in all 4 corners. It's a bright white light that's prevalent in darker games and most movies. Especially during boot-up, which is mostly black. On the desktop and performing productivity related tasks, you'll never notice it. But this alone has cost it a star.

SPEAKERS

I have to admit, I'm actually impressed with these internal 9W speakers. Even though they are somewhat close together, they are stereo, and have a pretty darn good sound to them. I've been using them exclusively while testing this monitor because they are actually 100% usable for an office or casual home use environment. Big improvement over the past model.

They aren't magical, so they won't replace good headphones or a dedicated discrete speaker system, but they're not bad at all.

CONCLUSION:

As you may have guessed, I hate light bleed. I'm already sensitive to it by nature. My eyes are just drawn to it. I know most (but not all) IPS monitors have this, to some extent. But I'd put this on the "high side" of light bleed from the display. It's hard not to see it. Which really hurts it's gaming and entertainment prospects. Some folks won't mind or intend to use it for those tasks. In which case, you'll love it. For anybody else, I'd suggest looking into a non-curved display or even a TV for your PC. Otherwise, still a fantastic display if you can accept or ignore said limitations.

*** UPDATE 12/31: ***

The back light bleed was starting to get to me, so I contacted Dell Support. After some standard troubleshooting, they suggested the back light bleed was normal, but agreed to replace it anyways. Fortunately, the replacement monitor is much better and more in-line with your "average" IPS panel. In particular in the top right corner where it was largest. It's minor; I can still see BLB in the bottom left and right corners. And I have IPS monitors with less (or none at all).

NOTE: See pictures; left is new, right is old. Camera can exaggerate light bleed, but does demonstrate the issue. The old panel was even noticeable with normal usage. New one is considerably better in person.

As for the monitor itself, it's been fantastic now that it's been replaced and I've settled into my normal workflow. Where I'm more focused on productivity, office, video watching, etc. 21:9 1440p content looks excellent. I've increase the rating from 4 stars to 4.7 (rounding to 5); which is still an easy recommendation for those in the market for a high-end ultrawide 60hz curved monitor.

I love this monitor! I’m a software engineer, and I’ve been using multiple smaller displays up until now. Finally I decided to go for the ultra wide curved... and it’s awesome.

Picture is crisp and clear, and I LOVE the usb-c functionality. If you have a usb-c/thunderbolt 3 enabled laptop, this display is super convenient. You plug a single cable from your computer to the display - and you’ve got perfect picture AND your computer will charge through that same cable. Less wires and less clutter.

This monitor is solid, attractive, and built like a tank - just like all of Dell’s monitors. Highly recommend!

Мне всегда не хватало размера своего старого монитора, особенно, при работе с разбивкой экрана. О данном мониторе я узнал случайно, из поста в инстаграм...

Классный монитор для видео редактирования и многоэкранного режима работы. Все под рукой. Почта, основная программа для работы. Место для открытия текущих файлов. Для игр - ограничено, теми играми, которые поддерживает такое разрешение нативно, иначе смысла нет. НО, скажу так, если вы профи, которому надо широкий рабочий стол и ревать на внешний вид - то выход тривиальный - три full hd монитора. Можно уложиться по 5000 руб за монитор. За 15 000 руб можно получить 5760х1080 пикс в принципе будет решать все те же задач за дешево.

Действительно хардкорный вариант будет 3 шт х Dell U4919DW!!! И большую денюжку. В итоге ширина 15 360 пикс !!! Для этого нужно отдельную комнату.
