New Dell Ultrasharp U2913WM 29” Ultra-wide monitor seamlessly blends work and play

Dell UltraSharp 2913WM ultra-wide display (USB 3.0 port close-up)With the recent launch of the Dell UltraSharp U2913WM 29” Ultra-wide monitor, Dell is continuing to blur the line between devices made for work and devices made for play. The U2913WM is Dell’s first 29” ultra-wide monitor with a unique aspect ratio of 21:9, helping you do more and take multi-tasking to a whole new level.  Wide Full HD, visually stunning color accuracy and a breathtaking panoramic view will redefine your entertainment experience after a productive day at work.

The Dell UltraSharp series offers one of the industry's highest-quality and most advanced technology experience, and you can count on the U2913WM to deliver uncompromising screen performance, precise, consistent colors, great usability and a wide array of connectivity options.

With colors calibrated at factory to support more than 99% sRGB color space at a delta-E of less than 5, and a 178°/178° ultra-wide viewing angle, you get an ideal monitor that offers amazing color accuracy and consistency from virtually any angle. Convenience to connect to multiple devices comes in the form of extensive connectivity ports.

I chatted with Lionel recently who told me that Dell's Listening and Command Center recently added two of these monitors there, and that having these were great to look at lots of Radian6 widgets side by side.

Productivity is Paramount

Dell knows how busy life gets sometimes; that’s why we encourage you to go wide to maximize your applications and productivity. The U2913WM’s massive screen provides time-conscious users with a great alternative to dual monitors. If that’s still not enough space for your project you can replicate or extend content to additional monitors using DisplayPort 1.2. This version of DisplayPort allows the U2913WM monitor to support daisy chain functionality that allows extension or replication without the hassle of having to connect the additional monitors to the source. The bottom line is that Dell knows that the more space you have to work, the better you can multitask efficiently.

Comfort is Key

The Dell UltraSharp experience is designed for comfort.  The U2913WM provides users with full adjustability features such as tilt, swivel and height adjustment. You can even detach the panel head and wall mount the device if so desired either in landscape or even portrait orientation!
