Title: Possibly the best overall monitor available right now
Review: As the headline states, it really might be. I've had it a little over a month now and honestly couldn't be happier. At a price point of 500-600, this is totally worth it. Recently upgraded from a 1440p BenQ gaming monitor and it's a huge difference.Was looking for a monitor that I could use for color accurate work with my Macbook, but also something that I could use to get the most out of my Series X. It's a bit tricky to find something to do both well, but this is the best I have come across. Color gamut is great and very accurate out of the box with a calibration report. Using a monitor calibrator isn't necessary, but fine tunes it even more if you need to.The selection of ports is really nice, OSD is simple enough, brightness is more than enough (especially compared to other LED gaming monitors), HDR is better than other monitors within this category (HDR 600). Overall the panel is nice and crisp with excellent picture quality no matter what you're doing. The matte coating isn't TOO strong and doesn't degrade the picture quality nearly as much as others.I tried the BenQ EX3210u and one of the LG monitors that's comparable and this came out a clear winner for a lot of different reasons (despite the BenQ advertising wider P3 gamut coverage).Yes, OLED monitors are going to be superior to this - but that jumps you into a different category all together (including price, which is literally double the cost of this). This also looks the sleekest out of the gaming monitors - no dragons or unicorn vomit on the back of unit which makes it suitable for professional settings as well.Overall - get it. Especially if you need it to do more than just game on it and need color accuracy. No risk of burn in compared to OLED, color accurate, great gaming experience for consoles, sleek design and a 3 year replacement warranty from Dell. At this price point, certainly the best value on the market.

Title: Amazing Budget Gaming Monitor
Review: I picked up Dell's S3422DWG back in March, and have been putting it through its paces ever since. It's my primary media device for games, movies, and photo editing, and I'm here to share my impressions of the monitor after the better part of a year.I picked up the S3422DWG for $380 to replace my aging Acer X34, as my latest build used an AMD GPU instead of the previous Nvidia, requiring a FreeSync device. I was immediately struck by how good the blacks looked compared to my old IPS: deep without all the old panel's backlight bleed. This higher contrast really enhances all of the media I throw at this monitor. I'm incredibly sensitive to motion blur, and I really can see the difference in responsiveness between an older 100Hz panel and a newer 1434Hz one. While VAs supposedly have worse viewing angles, I don't ever hit a real-world use case where I've noticed this. The curve is a bit more severe than I'm used to, but after a week my brain adjusted to it.The OSD is much nicer than my Acer with a few flaws. You get a joystick that can be depressed to open the OSD, with four buttons that can be mapped to menu items. Sadly the response time menu is not an option, so turning on strobing requires a menu dive each time. But overall quite functional and intuitive.So what about the dreaded black smearing? Early VA panels were panned for gaming due to dark content having a much worse response time than IPS displays, creating black smears during game movement. I'm happy to report that this monitor does not strongly exhibit this behavior on "Super Fast" response time. I do see a bit of dark content smearing with strobing turned on in games, where the ultra-responsiveness exposes anything but the fastest response times. But this is generally minimal, unless you have something like black text on a white sign.Let's talk to strobing. Compared to previous strobing monitors I've tried, I'm happy to report that the S3422DWG maintains very strong brightness with strobing (which it calls MPRT) turned on. Cross-talk varies depending on where you look on the screen. The center has very good coherency, the bottom is good in this regard, and the top of the screen exhibits noticeable strobe cross-talk. This means that strobing is viable in games where you're not fixing your gaze on the top third of the screen (such as Witcher 3) and not very good in games where you're looking all over the screen at any time (e.g., Diablo 4). Overall it's a nice perk, but not a universally reliable one.The last caveat for this screen is that reviewers have panned it for flickering with GSync under 60Hz, which could be a deal-breaker for NVidia users.Overall, this monitor is incredibly strong for its price point ($350 at the time of this review) for users who want to watch media, edit, or play games with an ultra-wide aspect ratio for AMD users. I recommend it as a gorgeous bargain panel.

Review: This 34 in ultra wide is definitely one of the best VA panels I've ever owned once you set the colors in get everything locked in it's excellent I have zero smearing on my monitor and dark areas etc I know some people have said they've experience it I haven't at 144 120 60 and 30 none at all response time is super fast I also have three other ultra wides I have Asus 34 ultra wide VA that's supposed to be 165 HZ and the Dell beats the brakes off it easily even though it's 144 because when you're comparing 144 and even if you move up to 165 there's no way you can tell the difference and I also own the LG ultra gear IPS 165 Hz and I can tell you without a doubt out of all three this dell 34 is the way to go the IPS is brutal for blacks really gray in and out definitely not worth a $1,200 it wouldn't even be worth $700 when it was on sale but I got this at 399 on sale and I would recommend anybody looking to get into ultra wide or if you just want to upgrade or switch

Review: Vaya, tenÃa mis dudas sobre este monitor, vi muchÃsimos videos, muchÃsimas reseñas y me decidà a darle una oportunidad y vaya que me sorprendió, el monitor es enteramente de plástico robusto (es bastante grande el monitor), se siente de buena calidad, la pantalla es mate y maneja bien los reflejos, es de 144 hz, que no es mucho pero cuando tratas de mover esa resolución con settings de âultraâ esos 144hz aveces son difÃciles de sobrepasar dependiendo tu gráfica y el juego, yo lo tengo con una RTX 3070 y cuando los juegos no son muy demandantes sobrepaso esos 144hz, pero cuando son tÃtulos AAA cuesta trabajo llegar incluso a los 100fps cuando todo está en âULTRAâ, pero la calidad de imagen y la nitidez del monitor hace que se te olvide que no estás en la cima del âPC MasterRaceâ; voy a poner sus pros y sus contras:Pros:- Excelente representación de colores (puede usarse para edición de fotos y videos).- buen tiempo de respuesta (me parece que 1ms MPRT).- Buen contraste, los negros se ven bien.- MuchÃsimo brillo más de 500 nits- A pesar de ser un panel VA el smearing no es tan notable, solo hay que modificar la respuesta del panel.- la Base aunque es grande no es estorbosa.- excelente calidad de imagen- tiene dos entradas HDMI y una DP, entrada de audÃfonos y un hub usb.- tiene freesync (aunque ni lo especifica, pero funciona) y g-sync.- El HDR funciona muy bien, no tan impresionante como en una TV de gama alta pero muy bien en comparación a otros monitores.Contras:- Es un panel VA por lo que los ángulos de visión son limitados.- tiene ligeras fugas de luz, prácticamente ni se notan, hay que buscarlas casi casi con lupa para verlas.- El Smearing aunque casi no se nota, está ahà y si eres muy susceptible a esto lo mejor es elegir un panel IPS.- Estéticamente es gordo, muy bien construido pero no va a ganar un concurso de belleza- la curvatura no es tan pronunciada, a mà en lo personal me hubiera gustado en este tamaño una curva más prononciada.- Su precio, si bien su precio deberÃa de ser de entre 8 mil y 10 mil, es difÃcil encontrarlo a esos precios, a mi me costo 8 mil en la pasada oferta de Amazon pero a raÃz de eso surgieron muchÃsimos vendedores externos que lo ofertan a un precio ridÃculamente alto, asà que es complicado poderlo comprar.- Realmente en tamaño es grande si no vienes de monitores convencionales de 32 pulgadas, ya que al ser ultrawide es más corto de lo alto pero más largo de lo ancho, pero obtienes una mejor sensación de inmersión que con un monitor normal.Conclusión: si quieres un Monitoe ultrawide de 1440p, con buena representación de colores, brillo y contraste sin llegar a ser âimpresionante o destacableâ es una excelente compra, para mi es un punto intermedio entre rendimiento para gaming y calidad visual. También depende de tu grafica ya que es realmente complicado mover tantos pÃxeles, mÃnimo necesitas una RTX 3070 en adelante para este monitor, si tienes algo menos potente que esto, mejor busca un monitor convencional porque donde brilla este monitor es cuando juegas a resolución nativa y todo en ULTRA.
