IPS panels are known for their wide viewing angles, and the U3417W is no different; colors stayed true, and the picture remained bright when viewed from an extreme top, bottom, and side angle. Very good pixel response time, which is great for watching fast moving content such as playing video games or watching sports. Get comfortable: Experience optimal eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView, which reduces blue light emissions. The 34-inch IPS panel delivers stellar color and grayscale performance, and viewing angles are wide, with no picture degradation.

If that still doesn’t satisfy, the U3417W is VESA compatible, so you can swap it out for a different stand. Discover precision performance on a 34in curved monitor that elevates your work, gaming and entertainment.Thanks in no small part to its IPS panel, the U3417W does a great job of displaying deep blacks, with only the very darkest tone blending in a bit into the black background in the test. The Dell U3219Q also supports HDR content and has a better resolution so it can display more on its screen.

I was told by Apple support that with the Apple M2 chip, you can no longer go back to the previous operating system. There’s two 9-watt speakers in the U3417W, and honestly they’re not too bad as far as monitor speakers go.While it doesn't offer high refresh rates, the monitor's ultrawide aspect ratio makes for a very immersive gaming experience. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Clearly, it’s a far cry from Alienware’s spaceship-inspired, gamer-centric offerings with RGB lighting, but the lack of sharp angles and lights certainly has its appeal, too. Since the monitor is so large and has a TN panel, the viewing angles are horrible I had to strain my eyes to use the monitor.

While both screens are the same size, the Dell U3417W has a higher native resolution, so you can see more fine details. The Dell U3417W monitor appears quite thick when viewed from the side due to the curve of the screen (see our recommendations for the best curved monitors). It has both picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-beside-picture (PBP) modes, each with a few sub modes; for example, the PBP Aspect Ratio mode shows both inputs side by side but preserves their aspect ratio, even if their aspect ratio is different.The only issues we can really notice on the 50% gray test picture are that the 2 sides of the screen look a bit darker than the center, but this is not very noticeable in use. This is disappointing because 60 Hz flicker can be useful to clear up fast motion such as when playing fighting or shooting games. Sensational screening: Increased screen curvature improves your field of view by reducing reflection and creating near-uniform visual focus. My primary monitor for the past several years has been the Dell U2412M, a 24 inch ultra sharp 1920x1200.

This ensures the reliability and consistent quality of our products before they get the approved selection stamp. Colors were easily identified across the spectrum, and gamma sat perfectly in the Windows-standard 2. How this works is that the computer uses DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport to send two DisplayPort signals over one cable. The ultra-wide panel means you can open about three different documents at once, or look at an obscenely wide spreadsheet with ease. This monitor is VESA compatible, allowing you to mount it to the wall to give you more office space, or you could attach it to the optional Dell Single Monitor Arm fitted on the back.Calibrating a monitor is often a good way to improve its weaker points, if those are color accuracy or gamma. This is great for looking at large areas with uniform colors, such as browsing the web or watching YouTube videos. The Dell Premium Panel Guarantee means we’ll replace a panel free during your Limited Hardware Warranty, even if only one bright pixel is found. on my MacBook Air last night, and can no longer use my Dell UltraSharp U3417W monitor at the correct aspect ratio or resolution.
