I think that this is really the best budget ultrawide monitor for both gaming and productivity work. What do you guys think? Do you agree?
I'm not much into gaming but if u could just play a video and watch from distance and then share your viewing experience in comparison with tv. That will help me alot please.
@@SD-gz7my, I tested it and a TV does have better viewing angles in terms of color accuracy and contrast. It's not a deal breaker for me, but it is something to take notice. If you plan on using this monitor as a TV, then be aware of this.
Is this better than the Samsung G5 34” for gaming?
Yes @@JamieReynolds89, but it depends if you care about price or input latency, since the Samsung option is cheaper (in Europe) but doesn't feel or look as premium (Colours, Build quality, ...).
@@CalinUngureanu-IT I’m just bothered about gaming really, quality of pictures, colours, ghosting, etc. I had the Samsung before and loved it but accidentally broke it so if the Dell is as good I’ll be happy so if it’s better then that’s even better.
thanks for letting me know about the 4 USB ports that was on there. Solved one of my other issues.
Bro you need more than 194 subs You got that Radio Voice nicely done my friend!!!
Great video !!! 👾🎮
Thank you 👍
Great review. You were simple and straight to the point. I wanted to ask you about the smearing is it noticeable?
I think that the smearing on this display isn't that noticeable (when above 60 frames per second), and that your biggest concern regarding this monitor should be it's ghosting, since it is noticeable in some specific scenarios.
IKR? I just got a Acer ED3 Nitro Series Ultrawide 165hz 3440x1440p gaming monitor from Costco for $269 and its just pure AMAZING FUN! :D
Great review man! One question though, have you had any problems with the FPS in on this monitor with any games??
No! It looked great in most FPS games, unless they had black bars because of the ultrawide advantage, like Valorant.
Can you please do a video on calibrating the monitor?
Just ordered this from Amazon can’t wait to get this for Flight Simulator
It will be worth it, I assure you! :)
I have an Alienware DWF 34" OLED monitor and am planning on getting another 34" for all my static images and some games with lots of hud info. Hoping this will be good! IPS 34"''s seem to all be either flat or crazy expensive, like almost as much as my oled..
It's crazy how much of a disparity there is between a curved UWQHD with a VA panel and those which have an IPS panel. Paying almost double in many cases.
Paying extra the avoid the pitfalls of VA like ghosting and streaking is one thing but that much makes me even more grateful that Dell really hit it out of the park for those who are on a budget but want to step in to this format. Even better is, if you buy right from Dell, they're usually on sale which makes it also one of the cheapest options out there in certain markets like Canada.
@@The1rust agreed tbh. If I was going for a regular 27" or 32" Id probably always no matter what go for ips but the huge price hike for larger and curved is insane. At that point get a mini led or oled for a couple hundred more.. some of the high end VA panels are incredible to like on the samsung g7 and so on. Im just glad this monitor actually looks like it used HDR well which is a shock for the price and the ghosting doesn't seem horrendous. Thankfully if I want to play a game where its an issue I will just use my oled.. but for every day use and static images this monitor seems next to perfect.
bought it for 350$ usd on black friday :)
Awesome dude! I got this model myself for 429.99 CAD. I was blown away.
Best Buy has it for 250$
Thanks for the video, it is very useful. I am currently looking to buy one but I can't decide whether I go with this one or Gigabyte M34WQ because that monitor has an IPS panel but it is flat. What do you think about the curve? Does it really make a difference that can make me choose over an IPS panel?
I think the curve does look nice, but if I were in your shoes, I would still pick the S3422DWG for the very slightly faster response time and higher contrast, which makes a big difference in my opinion. I hope this helped! :)
The gigabyte m32wq is an IPS panel that's much faster than the dell
Ive been watching so many videos to make a choice and i finally ordered this dell monitor for my husbands birthday i hope he likes it. Hes been wanting a curved monitor so im excited and hope i made the right choice!
I think you made the right decision 👍
@@CalinUngureanu-IT thank you!
@@rubigutierrez6179How is he liking it? Get mine Tuesday lol.
hey brother, great video!
Just one quick question, whats the height of the monitor without the stand- so bottom of the monitor to the top? (in cm or mm)
I will take a measurement to see! :)
You should add Canadian Amazon links in your descriptions, you probably get more viewers from them than you do from the EU
I just ordered this very monitor for $429 straight off dell website. Hadn't even seen this video yet lol
Do you use this with an Nvidia Card? If so do you have any issues with the fact that it is not gsync?
No, I actually haven't used G-Sync on it yet. But I don't think you'll encounter any problems with it, as multiple other reviews of this monitor have proven.
In Europe there is Iiyama GB3467EQSU-5.
165hz with much better response times, almost Neo G7 levels.
This monitor is really a sleeper - great blacks, fast reaponse times, and cheap!
Response times are anything but fast one budget VA panel
@@GargamelTheGreat empirically, they blow away my previous 100Hz IPS and look quite good. There are some REALLY bad VA panels out there, but this one handles black transitions pretty well at the medium setting.
For $300 or whatever, it's very good for an ultra wide.
What color settings are you using? I am using RTINGS RGB gain and offset values but i couldn't find anything for hue and saturation. I am also using their icc profile
I am using the default factory settings, since calibrating it properly is pretty hard to do without kind of ruining the experience for some situations (gaming, editing, etc...).
@@CalinUngureanu-IT i see. Another question, windows detect 1064nits peak brightness when i enable hdr. I thought this monitor can only go 500+nits? Is it bugged? Lol
i have this monitor and have a question. can you only adjust brightness through monitor? windows 11 has no brightness slider anymore for me. but then if the monitor is in HDR mode you cant adjust the brightness and its greyed out leaving absolutey no option for turning down brightness..
That is pretty annoying, but you can't change the brightness unless you do it manually using the buttons on the back of the monitor (from my knowledge).
Should I go with this or the LG ultra gear?
Dell S3422DWG vs LG UltraGear 34GN850P-B, 34"
VA or IPS?
This costs 423,44 euros where I live and LG ultra gear costs 600 euros.
In my opinion, it is not worth spending the extra 200 Euros on the LG Ultragear, and that the S3422DWG provides much more value, letting you have some extra cash for a probable GPU upgrade (unless you already have a higher-end GPU).
@@CalinUngureanu-IT what about the hp 34c 34 inch?
@@CalinUngureanu-ITWhat do you think of Gigabyte M34WQ which is ips, costs only 57 euros more. Is it better?
@@aleksdeveloper698 The Gigabyte 34-inch monitor has slightly slower response times, which may make ghosting more noticeable.
@@aleksdeveloper698 I'm not so sure about the HP 34-inch monitor, since I haven't researched it that much, because of the price and availability in my region.
What 65% keyboard is that at 5:34 ? With the teal colored spacebar/enter key
I don't know... It's not my setup. It does look sleek though.
I have a ps5 and I’m thinking of buying this monitor and all the people says that if it doesn’t support 2.1 hdmi it’s not good so what should i do
It actually doesn't support the PS5, as ultra wide gaming on in will only result in black side bars, regardless on what game you might play.
How can this hook up to a soundbar? I got the monitor thinking it had sound but it doesn’t, what do i have to do to get the right speakers? Plz help
There are some Reddit posts online about it, but in the specs it should have some lower quality dual speakers (that's what it says online). You should follow a normal tutorial on TH-cam on how to set it up and you should be good if the inbuilt speakers aren't working.
How about using like a tv watching from a distance of 3 to 4 meters will it work?
I think it could also work, but it depends if you're going to be watching it from an angle or not.
Why didn't you mention the MPRT mode? Supposedly it has even better clarity than the middle response time mode.
Thank you for mentioning it! I forgot to include it in my short review of the monitor! :)
@@CalinUngureanu-IT do you happen to remember what it was like?
i have an oled tv, 3 27"inch ips panels and one 34" 21:9 ips (gigabyte m34wq). The TV has burn in after about 4 years and the ips screens black levels are grey and not even dark grey.. at night they look almost like the moon in tone. So im thinking of getting a va display and switch out my 34" ips. I work 8 hours a day on it, so a oled is not an option for me.
This monitor (The Dell S3422DWG) is a great option if you're looking for a more affordable option for an ultra wide monitor that has good contrast and colours! I definitely recommend it!
How do you hook speakers up?
Like you usually do, so go check out a tutorial for it!
hi,
iam not shure if i should by this or the LG UltraGear 34GP63AP-B; where i live i can buy both of them at 430€ but iam not shure which i should buy
Hello, I'm not sure how I can help. I don't know the exact specifications of the LG Ultra gear you mentioned, but from many reviews and comparisons I concluded that this VA Dell monitor was almost always the better choice, for a reason or another (comparing to similarly priced monitors). What you should look to compare in these two are the contrast ratios, color gamuts, and the response times. It is ultimately just up to personal preference (more vibrant colours VS a higher contrast, etc...).
@@CalinUngureanu-IT i know but the dell is already that old i hate my brain for thinking that this is a con
Will this monitor work well with MacBook Pro m1?
I'm not sure, but in theory, it should work just fine! :)
what of black smearing with white text on dark backgrounds
It's not that noticeable in my opinion.
Can u connect to pc and ps5?
You can unfortunately only pair it with a PC, since the PS5 and PS4 do NOT support it.
How does Valorant play on this?
You do have black bars, but it works fine on my end.
it's DP1.2 not DP1.4
DP 1.2 works at max 60Hz on a 3440x1440 panel, meanwhile, DP 1.4 allows a 144Hz output on a 3440x1440 display.
I got it but the only anoying this is once turned off makes boom sound idk what is cracking anyone same
My unit doesn't do that... It might be worth the hassle to get a replacement. Something might be wrong with it, but I'm not sure.
Do yourself a favour:
Do NOT buy a budget VA panel for gaming, trust it's not worth it.
Either spring for the pricier IPS ultra wide, go for the gigabyte 34 IPS ultra wide flat panel...or go for any kind of IPS panel.
I assure you that VA panels are actually a very good and reliable option if you want a monitor, even if it's for gaming. The IPS monitors that compete with this monitor are much more expensive, and even if they are better in terms of color and response time, the extra price may not appeal to everyone.
I tried VAs for gaming, and honestly I strongly recommend avoiding it. It really is not worth it.
The whole point of VAs is to have deep blacks and good contrast...but the black smearing kinda makes that pointless.
Anyways, for the same price you can get the 34 inch ultrawide flat IPS Gigabyte (34WQ I think).
You can also get the UWFHD LG IPS version.
So I still think that for gaming you're better off comprising elsewhere, but not going VA.
And for the same price you can get the dell G3223D, which isn't ultrawide but still far far superior for gaming
@@GargamelTheGreat , I agree, but it ultimately depends on what you are looking for, whether it's an ultrawide or a normal sized monitor.
But you can get an ultrawide IPS at the same price, but with either a flat panel (gigabyte M34WQ), or lower resolution (the LG 1080p ultrawide)
curvy are rather bad for productivity and not really good for gaming, as all games virtual cameras has Linear perspective, for curvy monitors they must have cylindrical.
For me, it doesn't have any noticeable negative effects on my productivity and gaming experience.
I buy this monitor in B&H in New York...350 $...
