The Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Hub Monitor is a massive display that produces good, but not great images.
Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Hub Monitor review: massive is the word MSRP $1,310.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Hub Monitor will woo productivity workers with acres of pixels and endless ways to connect.” Pros Cons Dell has been making some nice high-end displays with large screen sizes, high resolutions, and useful built-in USB-C hubs. The UltraSharp 32 4K USB-C Hub Monitor was the last one we reviewed, and we liked it quite a bit.
Related Not only will you need to adjust your physical space, but you’ll also want to fine-tune your display settings — scaling in particular. Set it too high, and everything is way too large; set it too low, and everything looks way too tiny on such a large display. The display defaults to 300%, which makes everything comically large. I found 175% to be a good compromise.
Lots of features This display’s USB-C Hub portion is one of the best that you’ll find on a display today. There are a ton of ports available, both upstream and downstream, and you can use the built-in hub in lieu of a standalone unit . The integrated KVM switch conveniently supports up to four PCs using a single keyboard and mouse. Connecting via USB-C provides up to 90 watts of power to the laptop, which is more than many displays provide.
The on-screen display is easy to navigate using the joystick on the back of the display, and that, along with the power button, are the only controls. The OSD itself is simple to use and controls every important setting. You’ll get the usual color presets, and you can change the color temperature, set up the color space, and define a custom RGB mix. The refresh rate can be easily changed from its 8ms Normal setting to its 5ms Fast setting, and picture-in-picture modes are fully configurable.
Competent image quality Subjectively, the UltraSharp 43’s image looks good out of the box, but it doesn’t stand out. It lacks the deep contrast of the UltraSharp 32 U3223QE, which sports LG’s IPS Black technology, but it’s not so pronounced that blacks come across as gray. Colors were fine and not oversaturated, but they didn’t pop. Brightness was decent, and there was minimal pixelation given the combination of a 4K resolution and a huge 43-inch panel.
Overall, image quality is good but not great. Productivity workers will be pleased, but creators and media consumers won’t love it.
