Dell - U3417W

I have the Dell u3417w, which is a rather old IPS, but still great for work because of the KVM and quick switch buttons.

Some kind of KVM is a must if you use the same monitor for work. It's nice to have it integrated into the monitor if you're only using the one ultrawide. I like IPS for work and not having to worry about burn-in. I'm not a heavy gamer, but I also have the 34" Alienware with the same IPS panel but no KVM. I bought that first and liked it so much I bought the U3417w for the office. They're fine for me. I won't get into the whole panel type debate. LOL

Once you 34-inch, you'll never go bla-----oops--back. On an Ultrasharp 34", 5060Ti 16G, 5700X, 1440p msfs

34" curved. Go get it. In my area, a Dell Curved $420 (non-OLED)

This, I use mine for both software development and gaming. Went the 34" dell ultrasharp 3440x1440. Zero regrets.

I recently got a 34" Curved Dell Ultrasharp. I was a little bit worried that I would prefer my dual 27" setup, but I really love it as a solo monitor. I mostly play Path of Exile at this stage of my life with the occasional CS2 or single-player game like Cyberpunk or Oblivion. All my games have supported the 21:9 ratio just fine, but of course not every game does. I also do lots of web browsing while watching YouTube or sports. The curved 34" is perfect for everyday usage. My only compliant is the alt-tab I need to do during some games with a solo monitor. I might end up putting a 27" above the 34" as a secondary at some point, but I don't think I could go to a smaller primary monitor in the future. Maybe upgrade to a 42" LG C# years down the road, but the 3440x1440 is so incredibly usable.

I recently bought a used 34” Ultrawide Dell from Marketplace. I love the real estate I get. However, Mac Bar is so small and you cannot make it bigger… that’s my sole complaint since I use it for work purpose.

I'm concerned this would be TOO big. What's your desk setup like and use case? I'm currently in monitor decision paralysis mode myself. I've been using a Dell 34" ultrawide for years that I loved. I decided to finally treat myself to a new, bigger monitor and found a smoking deal on a 49" G9. I hated it at first. It felt too big and I couldn't figure out a solution for blurry text on my mac, so I immediately ordered a Dell 40" 5K2K. Over the next few days while waiting for the Dell to be delivered, I got used to the 49" and was starting to like it. The Dell showed last night and while I am in love with the crisp display, it now feels small and tbh, I prefer the additional width over height. I'm going to give it a few days to see how I like it, but I'm considering trying something else or going back to the 49" and dealing with the blurry text.

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!

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.

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.
