Dell - UltraSharp 34 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor - U3425WE

Lots of experience with the IPS P3425WE but recommend the VA S3425DW all day, it's just a nicer more capable image in every way. If money isn't a problem then the IPS Black U3425WE is probably even nicer to look at. but its over priced because of Thunderbolt.

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

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.

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 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 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 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.

Dell U3425WE, fits your boxes and I owned the same model just older (which was 60hz) and the colours on it were perfect. Can recommend There's also the P3425WE which is 100hz, but I have no experience with that line of models

I am using a Dell U3425WE, 2K, 120Hz, IPS. Very happy with it, I game a lot since retiring in January. Neat "little" thing, is that within your budget? Only issue I have had or am having is finding a compatible monitor arm that doesn't sag nor cost as much as a second monitor so I can put a soundbar on the desk

Which one? I wish there was an updated version of the Dell 34" IPS. But it's just OLED now.

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.

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

Same here. Need 34 - 49 in UW. But OLED burnin and text is issue. So IPS is the safe bet. I have Dell UltraSharps so looking at them.

> MacBook Air > Full HD resolution should be enough (?) I would advise against this. If you're looking for an ultra wide "work" monitor for a Mac, I have three recommendations. All are amazing and, while they "can" game, that's not what they're primarily designed for. * Asus PA34VCNV * Dell U3425WE * HP 734pm All of them are 34", 3440x1440 ultra wide, with USB or Thunderbolt hub, some have KVM. All are pre-calibrated. Asus is 60hz while the other two are 120hz. All have USB-C display with power delivery. Asus is 96W. Dell is 90W. HP has two, 100W and 65W. I think each will meet your needs. Just depends on your budget and which additional features you want from each. Hope that helps.

I do not game but I do have a dual monitor system a 34 widescreen and a 25 vertical one. If you check my timeline you will find the pic. the 34 is.a Dell 3440\*1440 max res and another one is just FHD.

I bought that monitor a month ago and love it (office work)!

I'm in the 34"-world since approx 10 years. Two weeks ago exactly that Dell U3425WE has replaced my old flat LG. Everytime sitting in front of the new monitor i'm happy. It's a great monitor! It's the only available one (afaik) with a Black IPS-Panel, that's why have bought it (OLED is "too much" for that purpose). It's connected via Thunderbolt to my MacBookPro, so automagically 10 bit per channel. OK, i'm also editing a lot of photos for other photographers so everything has to be accurate. 120 Hz also does help. Soundwise it lacks treble but in most other aspects it's very nice for a monitor/bureau monitor. Everything is connectable what someone needs nowadays. Gaming with the PS5 isn't as impressive as on the big screen with heavy HDR in the living room, but good enough. You can easily have two (maybe two and a half (overlapping) windows open at once - love that. Would i buy it again? Yes.

Dell S3425DW - yes it has that issue, you cant rly get away from black smearing, it can only be less depending on the panel Dell U3425WE - that was probably the best 34" option if you dont care about gaming and HDR

I use the Dell Ultrasharp 34" (U3425WE) with my M1 Max and it is awesome. No complaints.

I use a 5k2k ips daily for work, it offers so much utility with the vertical space, ppi, etc. It's such a great size for immersion that I tried out (but returned) the Dell ips black version to see if I could game too. I own the g9 oled, and it's an awesome monitor. Has Samsung qc issues, but I've gotten used to rebooting once in a while if there are glitches, etc. I love the glossy screen, and immersion is great on a lot of games with great 32:9 support. As a pure gaming monitor the 5120x1440 vs 5k2k will be subjective. You can make either immersive, and it's different types of immersion. For productivity the 5k2k is better, but you could do the g9 with a 4k 27" ips or similar easily. I assume you got the G9 for about half the price, so that's a big pro for it. Since you are in the return window, a few thoughts from a G9 owner who has thought about the 5k2k oled a lot: -How is your lighting in the room, do you ever use it with lamps or windows facing the screen? I'm big on glossy but it will be a mirror in those situations -Is this your only monitor or do you have room for a secondary? This is the big one. 5k2k is best of both worlds. -Have you had any issues with the screen? Waking up from sleep, artifacts or glitches when starting windows, black screens during gaming? A lot of these are tied to the crappy bundled cable. You can use a better dp cable or ideally a good hdmi one to fix most. There are still some inherent issues with the panel (I believe a part overheats) that I see once in a while with an upgraded cable -Can you try both? Seeing what type of immersion you prefer (wider field of view vs more vertical) will be key. This could be just looking at the 5k2k in a store at the same distance you would sit. I'm not planning to upgrade my g9, but I also use it upstairs just for gaming. I wouldn't use it downstairs for work and gaming, but it would be a toss-up between the 5k2k vs g9 and an ips 4k (and the blinds closed).

I really like my Dell Ultrasharp U3425WE. The integrated TB4 dock is really nice. For me that was important. It’s sharp even though it has WQHD resolution. Also 120hz if you fancy some gaming. But it’s rather expensive … i was lucky that my ex-boss paid for it :) Edit: I have a MBP M1, I charge it through the monitor. Clean desk ftw :) Edit2: it has no HDR but I don’t really miss it. It’s bright and dark enough.

Dell UltraSharp U3425WE would fit. I have the 40”. not cheap but a monster of a monitor productivity

the LG 34GN850P is the top choice i think theres also HP 734pm, Dell UltraSharp U3425WE, Lenovo ThinkVision P34WD-40 think thats more or less ALL. ive got the LG and can recommend it

DELL U3425WE, nie miesci sie w budzecie ale jest dobry, mozesz popatrzec na starsze modele takie jak Dell U3415, Dell U3423 itd

Nope, 120 on DP. But speakers are atrocious, just in case you have any illusions to save desk space.

I don’t game. Do you think it’s an overkill just for software development? I currently have a Dell 34” ultra wide, it has a DPI of 109 which I absolutely hate.

Nisam nikada koristio ETH port. Ne vidim svrhu da mi komp ovisi o mrežnoj vezi preko monitora, meni svako racunalo ima svoju mrežnu vezu. KVM inace sam po sebi izvrsno radi i nisam nikada imao problema.

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.

For what its worth: i'm going to return the monitor. I see it as a long term investment into a more joyable experience during working - ive had my previous monitor (dell up2715k) for close to 10 years, and its still more clear than the U3425WE. I've ordered the 40WP95CP-W, which has 140 ppi vs the dell's 109.

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!
