Dell UltraSharp 49 Curved Monitor (U4924DW) review: The multitasker's best friend if used correctly

Dell UltraSharp 49 Curved Monitor with Windows Central Logo.

If you've ever had multiple monitors, you know just how much they can help increase your desktop productivity on work projects or hobbies at home. My personal desktop setup includes three large monitors hooked up to my tower along with a fourth monitor specifically connected to my Steam Deck. The three main monitors are often split to display two windows at once. This allows me to work quickly as I jump between windows, look up any information I need, respond quickly in work chats, play games, and create images in Photoshop, all while keeping my current writing project open. It's incredibly useful.

I've never had an ultrawide monitor before, so I was curious how this setup would compare to my usual multi-monitor one. Enter the Dell Ultrasharp 49 Curved Monitor, which, as the name implies, has a 49-inch IPS display. It functions as the equivalent of two 27-inch QHD monitors placed side-by-side and feels huge in person.
