Alogic Edge 40-inch 5K ultrawide monitor review: This stunning Mac-friendly display is outstanding for creatives — but calibration is needed before use

Alogic Edge 5K 40" Ultrawide Monitor.

Alogic Edge 5K 40-inch ultrawide monitor: 30-second review

Unboxing the Alogic Edge 5K, and the scale of this monitor is immediately apparent. At 941mm wide, it’s significantly larger than the 27-inch 4K monitors I am used to, and the full metal chassis, Space Grey matte finish, and ultra-thin 8mm panel give it a premium look that looks great alongside my Laptop.

The Space Grey of my MacBook Pro M1 Max is matched closely by the monitor, so if pure aesthetics are important to you, then this monitor is Mac-centric and spot on.

Initial setup is out of the box is easy enough with screws from the base bolting into the stand, then the monitor clicks into place, the power adapter plugs in, and a single USB-C cable connects to the laptop, with the monitor's display, data, and 90W charging all running through that single cable. For my MacBook Pro, the power delivery of 90W also delivers the charge, so no need to bring the Mac's power adapter to the office.
