Our Verdict

Dell U4919DW

Dell UltraSharp U4021QW

The Dell U4919DW and the Dell UltraSharp U4021QW are both ultrawide monitors that are unique in their own ways. The U4919DW is a super ultrawide with a 32:9 aspect ratio that's like having two full monitors in one. It's great if you need a ton of screen real estate and don't want a dual monitor setup. The U4021QW, on the other hand, has a more manageable 21:9 aspect ratio, but it has a 5120x2160 resolution and greater pixel density that produces an exceptionally sharp image.
