The Dell UltraSharp 40″ Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor is being touted as the world’s first 40-inch 5K monitor certified for five-star eye comfort.
The new monitor is being aimed as a good solution for anyone from content creators to data scientists and engineers.
The monitor features a 5K resolution (5120×2160) ultrawide curved VESA Display with IPS Black Panel technology which Dell claims can produce greater color contrast and intricate detail. The monitor is also HDR 600 certified.
Enhancing Eye Health
Dell has partnered with TUV Rheinland to enhance eye wellness. The UltraSharp monitors are the first to have TUV Rheinland five-star eye comfort certification, a new industry standard for eye comfort. This standard was introduced to help reduce signs of eye fatigue. According to Dell they were the first to meet this new industry standard by introducing three things:
- Doubling of the refresh rate: moving from a 60Hz to 120Hz refresh rate to deliver smoother and sharper motion visuals.
- Putting in an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness and color temperature according to ambient light condition.
- Improving Dell ComfortView Plus by reducing harmful blue light exposures with more advanced LED backlight, going from 50% exposure to less than 35% exposure.
The monitor boasts a 99% DCI-P3 / Display P3 color space and users can also easily calibrate the colors on their screen with Dell Color Management software.
The monitor features Thunderbolt 4 for single-cable convenience with up to 140W power delivery. It also supports high-speed wired Ethernet connectivity at 2.5 Gbps via RJ45, along with HDMI 2.1 FRL (Fixed Rate Link) and DisplayPort 1.4 for smooth image transmission, minimizing any loss in visual quality. The UltraSharp monitor has been intuitively designed and it has front-facing quick access ports make it easy to connect your external devices.
