    Works well with my 2018 MacBook Pro 13"
    I had a lot of angst in choosing this monitor vs the equivalent LG vs a cheaper 4k 43" monitor. I had concerns about quality and warranty service on the LG, which has official support for Mac. This Dell has no official support for Mac, but does have a good reputation for quality. In the end I decided on the Dell and so far have been happy with it.This is 100% a work monitor for me, so I'll only be commenting from that aspect. Also, work for me is email, programming, powerpoint, etc, nothing to do with video editing or high-end graphics. One of my primary concerns was unscaled ppi since I wanted as much real estate as possible - my previous dual monitors had around 94 ppi. This Dell rings in at 109 PPI which was at the upper bound of what I wanted. A 43" 4k monitor is 102 ppi, which is better but I ultimately decided 43" is just too huge to fully utilize the whole screen, plus current 43" monitors aren't curved.The 109 ppi turns out to be fine. In the attached photo I have a PDF at 100%, and the same PDF slightly zoomed. Ditto for the web browser. I do tend to zoom in by a notch or two, but not always. I've also pulled the monitor forward a bit so I sit closer to it than my previous 94 ppi monitors (24" 1920x1200 resolution).The other major concern I had is screen-sharing on web calls. 4k (or 3840x1600 in this case) is just too high-res for screen sharing. So I've been using the PBP (picture by picture) feature to split the screen. I reduce the resolution of the shared screen to 1080p and it works perfectly. To do this I just add a display port cable to my MBP in addition to the usb-c, and it all works perfectly from my one MBP. The monitor doesn't switch automatically - you have to go into the menu and select PBP so that's a bit of a hassle but overall it works great. I only do this once or twice a week - if I had to do it every day then I'd probably just reduce the resolution of the whole screen instead of splitting it.For the usb hub capability I only use my Logitech mouse's usb receiver plugged in to the Dell, and it works fine. Moving the mouse doesn't wake the Mac, but tapping a key on the magic keyboard does the trick. Note that usb-c doesn't have enough bandwidth to support both the near-4k resolution and high speed usb (usb 3.0 I think?), so if you rely on an external hard drive at usb 3.0 speeds, you'll need to either connect it directly to your MBP or use DisplayPort for the video feed and usb-c for the data feed to drive the Dell's usb hub capability.Other reviewers have noted that you can't control the volume of the Dell speakers from the MBP and that is correct. However the problem is that MacOS doesn't support that functionality, so it's not a fault of the Dell. You can see in one of the attached photos that I use a Jabra bluetooth speakerphone anyway, so I bypass the Dell's speakers entirely on conference calls.If any readers are hesitant about the curve, you absolutely shouldn't be. I was initially hesitant about the curve until I realized that with my dual monitors I had them angled in towards me. So the curved monitors do the same thing you'd do if you had multiple monitors anyway. If anything, I now think I'd like a more aggressive curve for any future monitor!Some final odds and ends. I use a single usb-c to connect to the Dell and it works great (until I need to do PBP as noted). I use my MBP in clamshell mode as you can see in the photo. Turning the Dell off while the MBP is on and in clamshell mode causes issues so I just leave things alone and let the MBP sleep on its own, and then the Dell sleeps on it's own, and everybody is happy until I tap my magic keyboard and everybody wakes up the next morning. Overall I'm very happy with this Dell (except now wishing for an 8k 43" ultra wide curved monitor in the future!). I hope this review helps anybody who's sitting on the fence, especially MBP users.

    I am now good - for now - on the third point. Incredible monitor, but a challenge to get a working one from Amazon. I received two damaged units when ordering from Amazon (one with a cracked LCD, the other would cut in and out during the first couple of hours of operation). [I'll spare you the details, but it was just really bad transshipping by Amazon.]
    I finally ordered directly from the manufacturer and received a unit in perfect working order.
    Even the second monitor which would cut in and out was quite nice overall, but a fully-working one: wonderful, amazing, glorious. I purchased it to replace an old Dell 30" (U-3011). That model had a 2560 x 1600 resolution, and a number of the other displays north of 32" were going down to 1440 vertical resolution, and I didn't want to give up the vertical real estate. With the slightly higher dot pitch/smaller pixel size on this one, plus the narrow bezels (1 cm, top, right & left, 1.5cm bottom) this unit is noticeably shorter than the 3011, which surprised me.
    I run it via Display Port with a Titan. I have not yet used the KVM features since I tend to just use Remote Desktop across my various computers, but I will test it out and report if any difficulties - tested, works fine, see update below).
    Last comments:
    * Along with the narrower bezel, this monitor is thin.and the stand is made very durably, but cuts a fairly trim profile. Overall, the design keeps the monitor feeling as small as it can given its size.
    * I primarily use it for software development & typical office productivity apps, so I can't speak to its color fidelity for photo, video, etc, however the colors seem very "true" to my layman's eyes.
    * Integrated speakers are quite powerful - even at 40% on the monitor-side control, I am usually turning videos down to 30%/40% volume on the computer as well.
    * The one give-up compared to all the large-size Dell's I've had in the past: no card reader. I have one in my PC and there is no shortage of options for USB card readers, so this isn't a big deal.

    A user asked in the comments about whether the screen would need some further elevation for comfortable viewing. It does not for me, but others may feel differently based on their height/chair/desk/etc. Details: at the full stand height, the viewing area is from 6.75" to 21.25" above the desk surface (i.e. vertical midpoint of monitor is 14" above the desk).

    Update (Sept 12 2017): I did get around to using the KVM features - works great. Plugged my wireless mouse & keyboard dongles (Anker & Microsoft respectively) into the monitor's USB ports, added the USB cables between computers and using the on-screen menu associated the specific HDMI and DP ports to the correct USB. I used it for switching between a Raspberry Pi and my desktop PC. Note that there are only two USB in ports on the monitor, so one might want a powered hub if more than two USB devices were to be shared between the two connected computers.

Note that usb-c doesn't have enough bandwidth to support both the near-4k resolution and high speed usb (usb 3.0 I think?), so if you rely on an external hard drive at usb 3.0 speeds, you'll need to either connect it directly to your MBP or use DisplayPort for the video feed and usb-c for the data feed to drive the Dell's usb hub capability.

    Other reviewers have noted that you can't control the volume of the Dell speakers from the MBP and that is correct. However the problem is that MacOS doesn't support that functionality, so it's not a fault of the Dell. You can see in one of the attached photos that I use a Jabra bluetooth speakerphone anyway, so I bypass the Dell's speakers entirely on conference calls.

    If any readers are hesitant about the curve, you absolutely shouldn't be. I was initially hesitant about the curve until I realized that with my dual monitors I had them angled in towards me. So the curved monitors do the same thing you'd do if you had multiple monitors anyway. If anything, I now think I'd like a more aggressive curve for any future monitor!

    Some final odds and ends. I use a single usb-c to connect to the Dell and it works great (until I need to do PBP as noted). I use my MBP in clamshell mode as you can see in the photo. Turning the Dell off while the MBP is on and in clamshell mode causes issues so I just leave things alone and let the MBP sleep on its own, and then the Dell sleeps on it's own, and everybody is happy until I tap my magic keyboard and everybody wakes up the next morning. Overall I'm very happy with this Dell (except now wishing for an 8k 43" ultra wide curved monitor in the future!). I hope this review helps anybody who's sitting on the fence, especially MBP users.

    It was time to retire my old laptop and as part of the upgrade I purchased this amazing monitor. First, the beautiful design with 38 inches of real estate takes less space on my desk than two monitors. You don't need to install cumbersome desk or wall mounts and fiddle around with positioning them on your desk. By not needing extra wall mounts you are already saving yourself up to $200 which is better spent on a high end monitor like this. As far a set up, it's simple and took 5 minutes to assemble and set up. Some say the input ports are hard to find, but I plugged into the Thunderbolt port in under thirty seconds with no issues. Once I was plugged in I was up and running and able to set up as many page views as I wanted in about two minutes and ready to start working. I tell you right now I will save lots of money not having to print different pages to be able to see everything I need to get my work done. Thats another savings from using a State-of-the-art monitor like this beauty. All your work is right in front of you, easy to see, and very easy to cut and paste between different open files on the monitor. The screen resolution is outstanding and I'm still waiting for my Thunderbolt dock to fine tune the set up and get the most of the new monitor. Even though this is a pricey machine, you will save the cost of the monitor and more from less printing, not having to purchase space wasting monitor stands, and increased productivity with having everything you need to work right in front of you with very easy access. And that just for starts. I haven't started to push the limits on the monitor and will update the review if I can think of anything else worth mentioning. Very happy with this purchase. Bravo Dell!

    5.0 out of 5 stars perfecto para trabajar
    Reviewed in Spain on December 14, 2022
    Para mi es muy bueno, si tienes buena vista puedes tener 3 ventanas a la vez. Mas todo lo que implica usbc como unico cable, una peana muy buena, la posibilidad de usar dos ordenadores a la vez y la gran calidad en general que proporciona Dell

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Monitor - Paired with M1 Mac mini
    Reviewed in Canada on December 20, 2020
    I switched from 2 x 27' 1080 monitors to this Dell Ultrasharp 38' IPS ultrawide recently.

    Very impressed so far, here are my initial impressions:

    The Pros:
    -38' w no bezel is more usable for myself than the 2 x 27' with bezel.
    -Picture Quality is awesome, great colours, text is super crisp.
    -Speakers are surprising good, replaced the cheap sounder I was using before.
    -Slim bezels, monitor looks beautiful from all angles.
    -Easily supported by Amazon Basics 'Ergotron' Monitor Arm
    - built in kvm works well

    Cons
    -It debuted in 2017, so likely will be refreshed in the near future, I believe the 34' Ultrasharp just got an update.
    -Expensive
    -M1 Mac cannot currently adjust monitor brightness, and volume controls with the keyboard

    1.0 out of 5 stars NO es flicker free! como dice Dell.
    Reviewed in Mexico on August 28, 2018
    Compré este monitor pensando que es flicker free como dice Dell en las especificaciones de su página web: "This TUV-Certified1 monitor has a flicker-free screen with ComfortView" pero NO lo es, Dell miente, lo grabé con mi cámara Canon mark II con el shutter en alta velocidad y si parpadea, este parpadéo no se nota a simple vista, sólo se ve con cámaras en grabación en slow motion como las del iphone o cámaras de foto como la mark II con shutter en velocidades altas, hace poco tuve que regresar también un monitor acer de 43 pulgadas "et430k" porque también pone Acer en sus especificaciones que es flicker free o flicker less pero tampoco lo es al igual que Samsung que miente y dice que sus monitores son flciker free y NO lo son, a la larga cansa la vista mucho y uno no sabe porque es, no se ve a simple vista el parpadeo o flicker en estos monitores.

    También grabé mi monitor Asus pg348q y mi monitor BenQ BL3200PT y sus fabricantes dicen que son flicker free y estos dos monitores SI lo son, no se ve ningún parpadéo a travez de la Canon Mark II, se ve una imagen sólida y esto ayuda a que no se canse la vista y puedas estar delante del monitor mucho más tiempo y no dañes tus ojos tan fácilmente.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hard-to-match quality
    Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2020
    This is one of the greatest monitors available on the market today. It is worth every single penny. It works right out of the box with excellent colour rendition; of course, it is very easy to calibrate the unit according to your needs (and there are calibration files for this monitor downloadable on the professional reviewers' websites; I actually use one on my MacBook Pro mid-2018). In addition to working beautifully as soon as you hook it up, it has a number of useful ports and the software is a dream come true, such is its incredibly effective intuitive design. The buttons are joy to use, too: very responsive. Overall, this is likely - at least for now - the ultimate monitor for professionals, gamers and advanced computer users who require ease of use and visual comfort. In short, it is a Lamborghini of a monitor. Very highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, But Mostly Worth the Price
    Reviewed in Canada on September 21, 2019
    Excellent screen with fantastic picture quality. The colour calibration was nearly perfect, requiring only very minor tweaks in DisplayCAL. If you don't have a hardware calibration tool, you can be pretty sure the colour profile is accurate.

    I'm using this with a 2018 MacBook Pro 15", connected to a Thunderbolt 3 dock, and then via DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Have had no issues on Mac like many of the other reviewers mentioned.

    The USB-C cable provided with the Dell monitor isn't Thunderbolt 3, but actually maxes out at USB 3.1 speeds, which is more likely the issue than any OS compatibility. Get a certified Thunderbolt 3 cable, and any issue should be remedied.
