Yes, you can split the Dell UltraSharp U4924DW into multiple sections to display multiple applications or screens at the same time. Here are some relevant functions: - The monitor supports Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbP) functions, which allow you to display multiple sources on the screen at the same time. - You can split the 49-inch screen into multiple virtual screens, which is particularly useful for multitasking. This allows you to have an application like Teams on one part of the screen and continue working on another part at the same time. This monitor is particularly well suited for productivity applications that require multiple open windows and applications.

I use my MacBook Air M1 and M2 in exactly this configuration and it works great with full resolution, Power Delivery and Ethernet. Will also work with the better M3 Max without any problems.

Hello, I connected the screen to a MacBook Air. 1 attempt with a standard USB C cable was inconclusive as it did not take into account the total resolution of 5120. However, with a USB Thunderbolt 4, the total resolution was taken into account.

Switching via key combination requires the Dell Display Manager (or equivalent software). If this software is only installed on one computer, switching from this system to the other works without any problems, but then you have to go back via the menu on the screen. The reason for this is the way it works: when the stored key combination is pressed, the DDM sends a "Switch to input X" command via DDC/CI (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Data_Channel) to the monitor, which switches the video input accordingly and also switches the USB ports. The monitor therefore "knows" nothing about a key combination. The advantage of this solution is that the key combination can also be entered on the notebook keyboard (which is not connected to the monitor). The disadvantage is that both computers require the corresponding software. Incidentally, ddccontrol can be used for this under Linux. Splitting the screen area into virtual parts has nothing to do with the screen and only affects the window manager of the operating system. As an alternative to the Dell Display Manager, FancyZones from Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzones) can also be used under Windows. If you work with KDE Plasma under Linux, the function is already integrated (press Meta + T to configure and hold down Shift when moving the windows).

Hello. Using it with MacBook Pro 16’’ M1. I’m using USB-C and it’s working perfectly and overall I’ll recommend this monitor

Both monitors have the same resolution of 5120x1440 (aspect ratio 32:9) with a diagonal of 49, i.e. like two 27" 2560x1440 ( 1440p or also "QHD" ) monitors with the "normal" aspect ratio 16:9 next to each other. I think UHD+ is 5K/2880p, i.e. 5120 × 2880 and thus 16:9 again, so both monitors at Galaxus have the wrong name for the resolution. But I don't think there is a widely used name for 2560x1440p either. I have the monitor, and it matches the Dell description as far as I can see. I use it with a Windows laptop, via USB-C for power, display and USB hub and everything works as expected. I haven't tried it with Apple yet though, don't have any Apple silicon devices left to test it, sorry.
