Dell - 34 Curved USB-C Monitor S3423DWC

I bought the Dell S3423DWC for home and I run a 38 version at work. Connect via USBC which provides power - built in KVMs / and spend most of my time with spreadsheets and/or creating wireframes/screen designs for systems to show clients. I’ve loved it. I’ve had one “issue” if you can even call it that 1 screen sharing and showing the wireframes - if I’m on my 34 or 38 and they’re on a normal screen it’s caused a few “issues” - it’s fine you can zoom in it’s not a massive problem but worth knowing if you will be showing your designs that people will just complain that it looks to small. Just tell them to get a widescreen 😂 My main issue now is I want one that works for gaming and for work (the dell is fine but I wouldn’t mind getting something above 100hz). It’s hard to find a 34 with a KVM and geared towards gaming (or maybe it’s not and it’s just a me issue) But yeah honestly for work it’s been so good I can’t go back

I have a 34 inch Dell Ultrawide, pixel density is great! I wish mine was an IPS, but at least it is a VA and not TN.

I guess it depends on the productivity.  I have no trouble doing cartography on the Odyssey G9, but I didn’t care for the brief experience of a 1800r curved Dell.

Drop the HDR and you will be fine. Or switch to VA. I personally went VA and have no regrets. No black smearing since it’s 165hz and a good model. People really oversell the black smearing for some reason. Dell’s newest model 34” ultrawide is still VA…. Either that or go OLED! Which, really is an amazing technology as well.

I went from a Dell 34" UW to a Dell 49" UW and honestly the 49" is too wide for productivity. Now admittedly the curve on the Dell is not as aggressive as some of the Samsungs, but the edges of the screen are out of my field of view and require too much rotation of my neck to be useful to me. When I bought the monitor, I thought I was going to make greater use of the picture-by-picture feature to run a customer laptop and my work laptop at the same time but turns out that was not a scenario I really needed (most of my customer's would rather give me a VDI than send me a laptop). I like it for gaming, but I am considering moving to a 38 or 40" 21:9 monitor after tax season.

Ich hatte erst einen Ultrawide von Dell und danach einen BenQ, beide die Auflösung von 3440x1440. Den BenQ habe ich mir ganz bewusst geholt, denn er besitzt über Picture by Picture die Möglichkeit durch 2 Quellen angesteuert zu werden und teilt das Bild dann in 16:9 und 5:9. Im Homeoffice verwende ich den Monitor mit 21:9, beim zocken die aufgeteilte Variante (um dann auf dem 2: Bildteil andere Inhalte laufen zu lassen).

I don’t game. Do you think it’s an overkill just for software development? I currently have a Dell 34” ultra wide, it has a DPI of 109 which I absolutely hate.

I do not game but I do have a dual monitor system a 34 widescreen and a 25 vertical one. If you check my timeline you will find the pic. the 34 is.a Dell 3440\*1440 max res and another one is just FHD.

yup, got a Kogan 34inch, I use it as my gaming monitor, has a better refresh rate and color for gaming, I also have a Dell 34inch that is my main movie monitor and a 27 inch Acer that is primarily used for photo editing as it is colour matched to my printer and when not in use for photos discord usually lives on it [https://imgur.com/a/CPdnkvr](https://imgur.com/a/CPdnkvr)

I do, I have a 34 inch, ultra wide monitor with max resolution of 3440x1440, just make sure the port you are going to use on the monitor's side supports the max refresh rate, for example my monitor only supports max refresh rate on its display port, so I bought a high speed usb C to display port cable and it worked flawlessly, just plug and play and my mac mini detected the desired resolution and max refresh rate out of the box, this is the cable I used in case you need one: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/aw/d/B0C4DB8MLL?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Edit: I just realized my monitor is a dell too haha so we may even be talking about the same monitor.

That's the post I needed, people from /r/oled_gaming are obnoxious to the point of being jerks to anyone who questions their OLED religion. I'm currently using an ultrawide curved Dell 34” and am looking towards an upgrade that I can use with Thunderbolt. This 40” Dell monitor seems great for this, and the KVM will allow me to ditch two devices from my desk, which sounds lovely. Thanks a lot for spending your time on writing this!
