Owner who tried a G9 and an OLED says it is far better for productivity: KVM works great, 60Hz is OK, the IPS clarity is superior, though the curve is shallow.

“I have the U4924DW, I tried a G9 and an OLED, for productivity the Dell U4924DW is a hands down superior winner.”

New owner prefers it to 27 and 34-inch monitors and the 49-inch LG and G9 they tried; it looks great at native resolution on a work MacBook, though they wish it were more curved.

“Text feels a lot clearer as I don't need to scale it anymore.”

After three weeks the owner finds it too wide and text too small at 1440p height, despite lots of space and excellent color reproduction.

“I've discovered that a 49" is too wide for me. You are forced to turn your head too much which is annoying.”

Owner using it with Windows and macOS says macOS scaling doesn't work correctly, while Windows and Linux show no text clarity issues.

“MacOS scaling does not work correctly on this monitor (as it did not on my Samsung 4k 32" display prior) - This is more of a MacOS issue as in Windows and Linux I am not seeing text clarity issues.”
mixedconnection issues

Owner switches between a Dell XPS over USB-C and a desktop over HDMI and USB-C with the full-screen KVM working after a firmware update and Dell's software.

“I've been using full screen KVM successfully on this monitor.”
positive

Owner says it is great for workflow, with lots of USB ports and a built-in KVM.

“It’s great for workflow, loads of USB ports and acts as a KVM”
positive

Owner moved from two 1080p monitors after buying it on sale and calls it definitely an upgrade for work and learning.

“Using it for work and personal learning so definitely an upgrade for me.”

Owner uses the monitor's USB-C Ethernet with a MacBook Pro and gets close to their full 1Gbps speed.

“My network is 1gbps, and I can almost reach that speed when running speed tests”
positive

IT user testing the monitor's 2.5Gb Ethernet port saw under 20Mb/s on a gigabit line; speeds improved only when bypassing the monitor's RJ45.

“We're seeing sub 20Mb/s speeds on a 1Gig throughput capable connection.”
