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...

I went from a 34 inch 3440x1440 ultrawide from dell to a 32 inch LG glossy 4k oled and I wouldnt go back. Ultrawide is good for sim games and productivity but kinda shitty in other games, at least for me. The standard aspect ratio of 16x9 or 10 is perfect

Tbh I had the same dilemma. I had a dell 34inch 3440x1440 monitor( not oled though) , I thought 16:9 was a thing of the past for me but I was dead wrong. The moment I fired up my 321urx I just fell in love with it.

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

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!

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 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 love my G9 57 but its a lot of display. I have MS Fancy Tiles which lets me snap my windows to whatever size I want and I have it set to give me 5120x2160 in the center and then on both side I have 1280x2160 which is plenty of space for my music program, or discord or whatever its nice. I came from 3 displays. Two 23" 1080p displays and in the middle a dell 34" ultrawide. I liked that but with my G9 57 I dont miss having 3 displays at all there is just so much room on this one its more than I know what to do with sometimes. Mind you, I've had 3x displays for over 10 years. I tried going down to 2 but that didnt work out I had to get my three again. I dont miss it now though. I think if I had only 5120x2160 i'd want two more displays still.

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.
