Dell - S3422DWG

This monitor definitely smears but other than that it’s pretty great for the price. I have mine on my sim racing rig now.

The Dell S3422DWG is always my suggestion for that price range. It’s only real issue is some ghosting. Other than that it’s a great monitor for the price. When I upgraded to the G8 I moved the Dell to my sim racing rig and it works awesome for that

What about the viewing angles? I had an S3422DWG from Dell as well and color and gamma shifts were obvious from almost any angle. Additionally, the panel had some serious VRR flicker. Black Smearing was also noticable in some games, e.g. Neon Abyss. Had to return it and got the LG 34GN850 instead because it had none of these issues apart from poor contrast. I am still looking to find an upgrade till this day...

Dell S3422DWG - i've seen them go on sale for $200 once in a blue moon, but $350 should be the average price point.

So the 5k ones are starting to roll out this year, but will need a top GPU to run them. I've been enjoying my Dell S3422DWG monitor for the last 3+ years. Has been a great and very sharp while also having nice dark levels at night. Just has one permanent dark pixel on the top right corner. ( they guarantied against no bright pixels :/ -still love it tho.

Agree I had the predecessor, the S3422DWG and it was good I’d use it to code with a dark editor and it still didn’t bother me much after I got used to it. Better contrast and no glow was nice. I can imagine it being further refined, my only real complaint at the time was it could’ve gotten a little bit brighter SDR but running it in HDR worked fine for me. For $370 it’s impossible to complain or to justify another $230+ for IPS. I went for VA at the time bc I wasn’t paying $900+ for the LG ultra gears and glad I didn’t. In no world is it worth that price for a bit more brightness and better colors while having its own downsides as a technology.

I don't own a g5. Can't tell you. I do however have a dell s3422dwg and it's fantastic. It also has a VA panel but I don't see any issues with it personally.

I have a 34” Dell s3422dwg VA 1440p curved monitor. It’s amazing. I don’t plan on ever replacing it until it breaks. Then on to Mini Led.

I have a Dell 34"S3422. More pricey but I'm sure it's the same deal. And I agree unless you get super close to the monitor, the experience isn't all that great. My space is limited, so I use a swivel arm to move the monitor between my desk and my sim rig beside it when I race. https://preview.redd.it/5cu8e8umaijf1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05706c45363c661a8d3889b651e0fc1ce4b78e5b

Yes, one of the better/best implementations of VA panels. They tend to go in deep sales too. I've seen as low as $340 Canadian

A g-sync monitor. My Dell S3422DWG is maybe 5 years old and has some discoloration but the giant curvy gsync has been gorgeous to play on
