I have a Dell U3818DW and you'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers. I can be working on a document with Word in the middle, a relevant Visio drawing to the left, and an Excel spreadsheet I need some analysis numbers from on the right. It is joy incarnate.
I have VFIO setup so I can run Linux as my main OS and Windows in a VM with GPU passthrough for basically bare-metal speed. The Dell can either switch to that input (of course) or I can do Picture in Picture with a selection of two different sizes. That lets me putter in Linux on my main display while keeping an eye on Windows upates in the PIP (or whatever). The Dell properly scales the screen, unlike the horrible scaling on the Acer that someone else mentioned in this thread.
The glare mentioned by somebody else is not an issue as the Dell has an anti-glare display. Not to mention factory color calibration. Not to mention a three year warranty that even covers you for a single dead pixel. It has USB-Cx1, DisplayPortx1, and HDMIx2. There's a bunch of other nice features too that I didn't mention. If you are a gamer (I'm not), this probably isn't for you as it doesn't have FreeSync / GSync.
Spend the money. It is worth it. Keep an eye out for sales. I'd buy it again in a second.
