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

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.

I have the Dell S3422DWG, got for £370 earlier this year (though Amazon recently had it at £350 for a Back to School deal) and I think it's great. I am far from an expert or picky about things and I was previously on a basic 27" 1080p with a few weird purple lines down it, but I use it for Windows stuff and gaming (Witcher 3 and FrostPunk 2 at the moment and I played around with Horizon Zero Dawn yesterday, on a 5700X3D and 4070Super) and I can see no issues with smearing or performance. I barely played with any settings but there are plenty there if needed. If the room gets a little bright I close a voile but that's only with direct sun glare, the rest of the time it's great. 8th/9th Oct for the Prime Day sales might be a good time to buy, possibly direct from Dell as they often cut their prices at the same time.

Hey there, I’m using a 34-inch with a MacBook Pro M1 Max. It was definitely a bit strange to deal with all those problems in the beginning, because I never thought that it would be such a thing and that you need to consider so many things. BetterDisplay is the App that you’re looking for. It will help you with the HiDPi and the resolution issues since you can create your own resolutions and it will look much better than macOS would handle it. I think I’ve paid 20€ for it. There are no issues regarding text clarity or anything else. Before I upgraded to OLED (Gigabyte MO34WQC2) I’ve used a Dell S3422DWG. I use the monitor also for gaming since my PC is also connected to it. Oh and make sure how you connect the monitor to your Mac. There are some differences between HDMI and DP regarding Refresh Rate etc. Hope that helped.

For ips under 400$ gigabyte m34wq, for VA - Dell S3422DWG.

Just got the M4 a couple weeks ago, I'm using a Dell S3422DWG (34" 3440 x 1440 144Hz) hooked up using a Displayport to TB USBC cable. Looks just as good as it did on my Windows machine. Your monitors running 4K at 32" has slightly higher PPI (~135 vs ~110, so about 20% difference). Which is not nothing, but not as huge of a gap as it is if you were switching from an Apple Retina display (200+ PPI). I think this resolution and size is just fine for the distance that I view from, IMO. The PPI on a 34" 3440 x 1440 is identical to the PPI on a 27" 2560 x 1440, so I would try to find somewhere to view it in person to see if it'd work for you.

Im looking for a non oled widescreen 34" I currently have a dell 34-inch 3422DWG va panel and I'm wondering if there is anything out there that's got a better picture

Pretty happy with my Dell 3422. Works great.

Seconded. Great bang for buck. Paid 320 for mine. Set up a CCC alert for Amazon, it usually drops to around there every month.

I have a 2020 Dell 34" exact same Rez, looks great.

To me, the Dell S3422DWG is where it's at. Best of the affordable UW's. Not sure about your country, but in Canada they're about 30% off right now until tomorrow (Aug 30th).

Dell s3422dwg 34" 1440p 144Hz Ryzen 7 5700x3d + radeon 6800 xt 16GB + 32GB 3600Mhz ddr4. Pretty much always get 100+fps and in the black a locked 144fps with almost everything around high settings.

I ended up getting the ⁠Dell S3422DWG. No complaints with it, everything works and looks good.

I have a Dell s3422dwg & it’s solid. You can get one around this price range, or even lower. Look it up on Rtings and look at the competitors in the range and you’ll find a good one for you!

I actually used that Dell for years. Absolutely loved it until I went with my Neo G9 57. Great monitor, HDR sucks but everything else on it is great.

I have the Dell S3422DWG and I have not had any problems with productivity nor gaming. I haven’t noticed ghosting, smearing, or tearing issues but I also have the monitor set to the highest refresh rate. I’ve also had the monitor for nearly a year and a half. The downfall to ultrawides is sharing on teams when no one else has an ultrawide. Which leads me to, a 34 is the perfect size ultrawide and still be able to put monitors on each side in either a vertical or horizontal layout and still be fine. The 34 is the same height as a 27 so keep that in mind. I sometimes wish I opted for the Alienware 38 inch non oled for the extra vertical but it wasn’t worth 800+ imo. If you don’t plan to add extra monitors to the side then go with a bigger ultrawide. Buy once cry once.

I bought a [Dell S3422DWG](https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-34-curved-gaming-monitor-s3422dwg/apd/210-azep/monitors-monitor-accessories) two years ago for $420. VA, 144 Hz. They're $399 right now. (edit: apparently [$349 via Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Curved-Monitor-Refresh-Display/dp/B095X7RV77?th=1) right now) I bought it mainly because I wanted some extra screen real estate, didn't have room on my desk for double 27's, and didn't want to spend $800-1000 on a monitor, so I took a shot with this one. I probably use it 8-10 hours a day and have found it perfectly acceptable.

I've had the Dell S3422DWG for two years now and have been perfectly happy with it for work and gaming. It's on sale right now on Amazon for $349.

I still play a lot of WoW, it's totally fine for that. I also play a lot of shooters, I've played through a chunk of the Halo Master Chief collection on it (ultrawide is so beautiful), and I've been playing through the Quake II remastered collection lately. But the real reason I wanted to move from 1080p to 1440p was because I do a lot of writing and editing and I wanted crisper text. I have a 4060 driving it and it's been fine. I'm sure there are way better monitors, but I no complaints for the price.

I have the Dell S3422DWG, honestly I dont notice VA smear outside of artifical benchmarks. Its different for other people, so this seems to be something you need to try out for yourself.

Not sure about 3840x2160 but I have Dell 34 Inch one.. DWG which supports 2 inputs separately, not sure refresh rate and resolution, I thinks it gets 2160 X 1440 120hz max

I'm not a fan of the Asus as the overdrive setting had some really weird artifacts, especially on black backgrounds. I went with it's sister product the Dell S3422DWG. Ghosting is still there, but no overdrive effects. With regards to the samsung I had a C27HG70 27" 1440p monitor from then and am now having a weird issue where it has static when it turns on and needs to warm up. Rumor is that it is a manufacturing defect in the capacitors, and that it was just on older models, but for the prices they charge I didn't think it'd be worth risking it again. Also I'm not a fan of such a tight curvature. 1800R is just enough for me.

in my experience, using an M2 MacBook Air and a desktop PC both with my Dell S3422DWG (3440x1440), the Mac looks like shit. I've even tried using better display with the custom HiDPI resolutions you'll find numerous posts on, and it's still nowhere near as sharp as windows. it just is what it is, I suppose.

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.

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 just received a dell 34” today. imo Side by side screens are still just as sufficient as 2 24” monitors. I also went to a micro center where they had a 40 inch on display, and it just felt like too much monitor. It’s 21:9 too, and quite lovely if I’m being honest, but 34 really feels like that sweet spot. As for a rec I’ll just say I did a bunch of research, and felt the best monitor for my needs was the dell u3425we. I was able to get one off eBay for a few hundred less than msrp. I considered the dell p3424we because it is cheaper, and it had comparable specs as the u34, but the u gives more ports and 120 Hz compared to 60 (among other things I’m sure). If those things aren’t super important to you then I think you could save some money by opting for the p34. No matter what you choose I recommend exploring the ‘open-box’ market for a good deal. Good luck!

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.

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 use the Dell Ultrawide 34" and connect via Thunderbolt. Display quality and refresh rate is perfect, not a hint of blurriness.

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)
