The 50% increase in vertical pixels also makes productivity far more enjoyable on the UltraSharp 40 monitor, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to hyper-multitask. While 90W may be enough for many 13.3” and 14” laptop users, I think this product is targeted more towards power users who are more likely to carry around laptops with 130W+ power adapters. For that reason, I hope that Dell updates this monitor with a higher power spec and the new USB 4.0.
It worked great when I did, save for the fact that it doesn’t fully power my laptop to 130W. That said, I did not use the UltraSharp 40 much as a dock for my XPS 17. The Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and overall USB connectivity experience has been great-it’s allowed me to tidy up my desk cable situation. Still, aside from its 1000 nit peak brightness, I didn’t feel like the Odyssey G9 was superior to the Dell UltraSharp 40 for creation or productivity. For me, the 50% more pixels and higher pixel density were demonstrated best in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom where I spend most of my creative time. I did appreciate the fact that the Odyssey G9’s 5K and 32:9 aspect ratio enabled me to see an entire waveform while editing a podcast and lots of a video timeline in Adobe Premiere but it also limits the size of the preview windows. The Dell UltraSharp 40 has roughly 50% more pixels in a slightly smaller surface area. Additionally, the Odyssey G9 only has a 5120 x 1440 resolution. Using Photoshop on a 49” 32:9 ultrawide with an overly saturated color gamut simply isn’t the same. I have done a considerable amount of work on this monitor over the past year, and I highly prefer using it for productivity and photo editing over the Odyssey G9. Even though the competition has effectively the same brightness on this panel and claims some sort of HDR although, it also does not even meet the minimum spec of VESA’s HDR400. That said the fact that the display can only reach 300 nits of peak brightness seems like a waste-it essentially disqualifies it from reaching any sort of HDR spec, even VESA’s lowest HDR400. 709 and 98% DCI-P3 color gamut, which is great for content creation. It features a 2500R curve, a typical 300-nit brightness and a 100% sRGB, 100% Rec. The Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved Monitor’s panel comes from LG.
