Mixed feelings about this... even if it had freesync I don't think it's worth paying double for it against a usual IpS monitor, maybe 50% would be ok. Without freesync it's definetly a nop. We have now OLEDS at 240hz and infinite contrast with freesync for around $800, those black ops are not worth more than $350

I want the 16:10 aspect ratio version. I have the Dell U2412M and it has been my all time favorite display. But the technology has improved since I got it.
We picked up some U2421E monitors at my job in the last few years. They're really nice and one, if not the only 16:10 monitor Dell still sells. Would be great if they did a 27" 4K (3840x2400) 16:10 monitor. It's weird that laptops finally moved to 16:10 in the last few years but desktop monitors seem to have doubled down on 16:9.

I keep my fingers crossed that 4:3 might one day make a comeback. I want my lovely old verticality!

I miss the old 2048x1536 CRT I once had an age ago. It weighed about a ton and I almost did my back in moving it but darn, it was one of the best monitors I ever had.

4:3 vertical does make for a nice vertical/portrait display. I have an old 19" 1024x1280 LCD vertical at work next to my 24" 1920x1200 monitors. Works great for things like teams/messaging and to have videos or something playing off to the side. Being an old IPS LCD, it's a bit washed out compared to my newer monitors that look much nicer. I picked up an EIZO Radiforce 22" 1536x2048 monitor for a decent price a while ago. It's larger than I was thinking so I didn't use it as is. I've been meaning to mod the case to try to make it a little more reasonable in the space it takes up. But as usual that hasn't happened. But it looks really nice and is made to be crazy bright. Would be great to use that for some coding development.

I actually prefer IPS monitors to OLED (my LG 27" OLED has blurry text that often makes me squint), but still. For gamers, this makes no sense as you can buy an OLED for not so much more. For offices, they will not even consider this because its not cost effective compared to standard IPS screens. For creators, it's far too low-res. Only way I'd see this as worth it is if it was 16:10. Or scrap the E model and add all its functionality to the U2724D at the same lower pricepoint.
