  <div class="key-takeaways-body">
<ul>
<li>Each of the 2,304 zones lights an 80 by 80 pixel square.</li>
<li>That square is roughly 9.3mm wide, about five lines of terminal text.</li>
<li>Testers still saw very little haloing around bright objects.</li>
<li>The real flaw is the screen dimming itself after three minutes.</li>
<li>At $1,199 it undercuts the OLED sibling in the same family by $600.</li>

            </div><p>The Dell U4025QW vs LG 39GX950B-B choice is a dock or a gaming panel. Both show 5120x2160 on a 40-inch ultrawide, so desktop space ties. The gap nobody publishes as a number is the bend: the LG&rsquo;s edges sit 68 mm forward of centre, the Dell&rsquo;s only 43 mm. That 25 mm changes how the desk feels.</p>

<p>The pixel density row is closer than it looks. <strong>140 and 142 PPI are the same to the eye</strong>, so the text argument moves onto subpixel layout rather than sharpness. <a href="https://www.pcworld.com/article/2247117/dell-u4025qw-review.html" target="_blank" rel="">PCWorld&rsquo;s review</a>
 measured the Dell at 138 PPI in practice, which nobody will spot next to 142.</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
