Best 40 inch curved widescreen monitor for under 1k for non gaming use

redindian · 26 Dec 2023 at 06:20

I am looking at purchasing a curved widescreen monitor to replace the 21" dell monitors x 2 currently connected to a docking station for my home and work laptops.

I was thinking of something up to 40 inches, as my desk is not big enough to go for anything larger.

The screen will be mainly used for home office, a bit of video editing and web development. The current monitors are used around 8-10 hours per day, so need something that is unlikely to result in image burns.

From my understanding (feel free to correct if I am wrong), monitors with an IPS panels are more suitable for my usage. I'm not into gaming, so don't have a console or anything on my laptop that would be used with the new screen.

I was looking at the LG 40WP95CP-W when reading some reviews, but realised it was a bit OTT and out of my budget.

Anyone got any suggestions for under £1k?

Dell UltraSharp U3824DW or Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD Monitor - U4021QW (Out of price range)

not that many in the size you want I can think of, they're all either at 38" or 49"

thing is though even though you don't want those gaming features or need them.

a 120 or 240hz panel will still be nicer to use in a desktop environment

as all you do is office, video editing and web dev work, if you're willing to make the size leap there's lots of good and cheaper curved monitors in the higher than 40 inches range.

@Personality+ thank you.

Unfortunately, due to limited desk space 40 inches is the absolute limit.

I will definitely have a look at the models suggested. Are there any other 38" worth considering?

TIA for your help

Don't pay too much, the big LG UW's were on sale a few months back and might be on sale in the New Year again. For instance the

I heard it does not have HDR support.
Anyway Hi, just looking for Information about 38plus screens.

Yeah it doesn't if HDR is essential for your workflow then you've got to make sure you get a HDR 1000 certified + monitor.
