According to our monitor expert
The Dell Ultrasharp U3818DW is a 38-inch curved ultrawide screen suitable for using multiple windows at the same time, either at home or in the office. With the 21:9 aspect ratio and the 3840x1600-pixel resolution, you'll have more than enough screen space, and you can use different programs side by side. You could open your browser and work on a presentation without switching between the 2 windows. Thanks to the screen's curved shape, you won't have to turn your head as much, and you can see the whole screen at a single glance. Connect your desktop or laptop using the two HDMI ports or the DisplayPort connector, and connect all your peripherals with the integrated USB hub. This Dell monitor also provides sound with two 9W stereo speakers integrated in the screen.
Note: For a 4k output, you need a modern laptop or PC with a fairly powerful video card. Make sure it has at least a DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, or Thunderbolt 3 connection.Curved | ||

A new screen had been planned for quite some time. My 10-year-old Dell U2412m had proved its worth and the first problems were a fact. An upgrade in screen surface had been planned for a while and working from home permanently accelerated everything. After a long search, the U3818u seemed like a great choice. And almost immediately this turned out to be a good decision. The gigantic screen surface offers a multitude of comfort. It is almost inconceivable that IT professionals, graphic designers, developers or even those who have to work with large spreadsheets would settle for less and this size should be standard in any professional work environment. Graphic designers can finally easily view 2 A4 pages in spread side by side in Adobe Indesign in full size, and have more than enough space left to display all menus and windows (The screen gives space to 4 x A4 pages in full size ). Video editors, on the other hand, have plenty of space to display their timeline and all the associated windows. IT professionals can now comfortably take over access to multiple remote servers. Developers have the luxury of being able to use their developer tools such as IntelliJ IDEA and still have enough space to monitor other windows. The built-in KVM switch offers the possibility to connect multiple devices and to switch easily, at least for the first 2 devices a hotkey can be registered. The screen buttons can be found on the corner of the screen and the operation provides a small wobble movement due to the central foot. For those who install the Dell Monitor tool for Windows 10, you can quickly switch from one device to another via a key combination. The soft curve in the screen provides extra comfort, but does not disturb. The color space covers almost the entire sRGB space, but it still misses a lot of the Adobe RGB spectrum. Therefore, it may not be the most optimal monitor for performing color corrections. The pixel density is limited (110p) and unfortunately does not come close to Retina displays, but still delivers a more than acceptably sharp image. Under Windows and Linux this is almost perfect, but Os X sometimes has a bit more trouble delivering sharp images, but this is mainly the cause of the underlying software of OS X, which has been a known problem for years. Conclusion: This screen is a real must-have for every professional.

I came from a Dell 34" and this 38" version makes working even easier. You can easily open 3 tabs and keep an overview. Unlike a 4K screen, the image remains legible and you don't have to upscale to 125 or 150%
