What do you think about the New Alienware AW3423DW - QD-OLED? Same size, same resolution, but a way superior OLED screen, the response time, the refreshrate, the TrueBlacks.. can't even be compared to an IPS...

nice review, and I love the "it's time for you to go and get outta here" :) i'm gonna buy this monitor, second hand for €400, together with an aeron chair. i think i'm buying the leftovers of a failed startup, to create another one. never give up guys

Man this looks perfect with the ports hub except for the 60hz refresh rate. I've been using a dual monitor set for a few years now and I want to downscale to a single ultrawide for my WFH and gaming setup.

Nice considered review Ben. Had a look through your equipment list but couldn't see which monitor arm you are using? Also, to switch between devices, is it just changing the input source to the other device? I have that setup on my U3417W monitor which works well, so wondering if this U3423WE is the natural successor. Would greatly appreciate your feedback on these 2 questions. 🙂

How are the viewing angles? I have one with the same specs from LG but the sides get quite darker, thinking to switch for this one

Great review I have been looking for a new monitor, seems ideal.

I’m really interested in this monitor for work. I tried the Dell 27” 4K IPS Black version, but it had horrible backlight bleed so I ended up returning it. But I was impressed with the color, picture quality and contrast. I also tried the much cheaper LG 27” Ips black monitor, but the quality control was terrible. Too much backlight bleed and distracting IPS glow. I currently use the older Dell S3423DWC. It has a 34” curved VA panel, 100hz refresh rate, AMD Freesync. VA has 3000:1 contrast ratio compared to IPS black 2000:1. Of course it has worse color and viewing angles, but it’s just fine for my use case. It also doesn’t have as good a port selection as this monitor. But then again, it’s less than half the price! I think I’ll stick to that monitor for now, and pick this one up when it goes on sale! Thanks for the review

60 Hz is fine for productivity work, but if you work with text very much, the 109 PPI of this monitor means text isn't as sharp as text on a 2160p monitor.

@@budivoogt491 If you don't mind the cost, one of the 40" 5K2K (5120 X 2160) monitors would work. Dell and LG both have one. They are closer to 140 PPI, which means you'd need to run 125% or 150% scaling, much as you would on a 27" to 32" UHD (3840 X 2106). LG actually has a 34" 5K2K monitor - 34BK95U-W. That's 163 PPI. You'd still need to run upscaling, but the result is much sharper text. I just bought and returned a 27" 1440p monitor, because the text, at 109 PPI, was just not sharp and clear. I went back to my 28" 2160p monitor - that's 157 PPI, and I upscale to 150%. Text is so much sharper.

I work for the US immigration services for the OIT department and recently we've been going through a refresh and that includes monitors we got refreshed with two types Philips 346B1C/27 which is the vast majority of what we have and these Dell u3423we The Dells blow the Philips out of the water and is what I personally use on my desk at work though it's not clutter free for me this monitor is excellent for productivity the colors are on point and the integrated docking station is awesome Even though myself im a Die hard high refresh rate guy for work and casual use this monitor is awesome especially when it comes to the connectivity. Though I'm not the biggest fan Windows 11 is also a really good choice when it comes to pairing with ultra wides as it has the split screen functionality baked right into the minimize and maximize button what's the options

great review. Are you using an apple silicon laptop with this monitor? Some monitors are displaying weird lines on the apple silicon products. I'm in market for a new monitor. Was thinking on the lenovo thinkvision t34w-20, but came across with a selection of Dell monitors S3423DWC, S3422DWG, S3422DW and finally this one, the U3423WE. I'm a software developer, so my main use case is for programming and studying, so colour accuracy is not an actual need. I will be doing some light gaming (on a steam deck) and occasionally watch a movie, but I have a LG OLED 65" 120hz for heavy gaming and for proper movie watching. any thoughts?

Issue is the constant tweaking and hardware cost to run. (F/S penality) When you hooked the PS4, you were getting black bars too. Furthermore, if you are even remotely interested in good audio, monitor speakers just won't cut it. So, there's plenty of caveats.

The "IPS Black essentially gives you way better blacks and contrast performance than other monitors on the market" line is simply misleading. The panel is surely better than regular IPS displays in this regard, but it's vastly inferior to MiniLED-backlit and OLED displays, which by the way don't even cost a lot more than this model.

I think OLED are starting to surface as ‘monitors’ BUT they are no way ready for professionals. The only one that looks promising is ASUS pro art OLED but that pricey considering OLED is controversial with screen burn etc…Apart from that most are gaming monitors. I think if a manufacturer has come up with a way of improving tech so it adds noticeable value I don’t see the problem with using that as a USP, that IS how marketing works.

OLED has another problem. It burns in. Dell with ISP will be working for many years.

Have you experienced coil whine from this monitor? Heard some said so.

Cool monitor. Perfect for what you do for a living. I have the Dell S3222DGM. Cureved and ultrawide too, but 165Hz refresh reate. Of course it is not IPS. It works great for what I use it for, which is media consumption (Alienware X14), or work from home (Dell laptop). I have a WD22TB4 thunderbolt docking station, that way I just switch the PC and the entire setup stays the same. Dell has great products.
