Our Verdict
LG 38WN95C-W
Dell U4025QW
The LG 38WN95C-W and the Dell U4025QW are both large, ultrawide productivity and editing monitors. The Dell is the better choice if you're looking for better image quality and more productivity features. The Dell displays deeper blacks that appear less gray in a dark room than on the LG. Additionally, the Dell has productivity-enhancing features such as a KVM switch and the ability to subdivide the screen into multiple smaller virtual monitors for easier window management. However, the LG is a better choice for brighter environments, as it gets far brighter in both SDR and HDR.
