Dell - UltraSharp 34 Curved USB-C Hub Monitor - U3421WE

Hello u/TazVador10 , I am considering replacing my Dell U3421WE monitor with this one. I currently use a Macbook Pro M1 Max for work, and my Dell monitor has been working perfectly and I really enjoy using it. However, I also like to play some first-person shooter games when I have free time. Unfortunately, the Dell monitor is not suitable for gaming due to its low refresh rate of 60. I have a personal PC with a 4080 graphics card that is capable of 4k gaming without any issues, so I am searching for a monitor that can handle both gaming and productivity tasks. How do you feel about the monitor after using it for some time?

I use a Dell Ultrasharp 34” curved wide screen. It’s perfect for my MacBook Pro. It’s also a USB C hub so you only need I cable for power and image which is really handy. It also has lots of usb ports so you can make up for your Mac’s lack of connectivity

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 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 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.

Eu uso um Dell U3421WE UltraSharp Curved (3440 x 1440). Comprei na época da pandemia. Deve existir modelo melhor hoje, mas o tamanho acho excelente. Eu gosto bastante.

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