Having spent a couple of weeks deliberating whether I should buy an ultra wide or not, I came across your review which basically made my decision for me. The monitor arrived a couple of hours ago and it' a fantastic piece of kit! So glad I didn't go with a two monitor setup. Not having a couple of bezels right in the middle of the sweet spot is fantastic.

Best monitor review by a long way!! Simple, clear, and concise. Weeks and weeks of trawling through monitors and reviews, this one has confirmed my choice! Thank you 🙏

This Video Earned you a sub, im upgrading from a mbp only setup and while i want to go ultrawide i was concerned about pixel density as im used to retina displays, this was exactly what i needed to know. Thanks!

I'm definitely getting a little bit of Philip Bloom vibe here! Thx for the high production value.

This is a great and thorough review. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Since 2013 i have 29" Ultrasharp and still not thinking about changing it. Great review:D

NIce review! Everything is explained very well and the video quality is just superb 👌

After days of researching into curved monitors for my home office, I landed on your video. Great review and answered lots of the questions I had. Although more expensive than some alternatives, I'm paying the bit extra for the brand and peace of mind should I need to return, the ability to charge my laptop off it and the fact it has semi-decent internal speakers (rare for curved monitors I believe). Thanks a lot for this! Keep up the good work!

After one year and many many considerations and search, I order this monitor. Thank you for your video! Bye

Hi - Me too. I traded my iMac 5k with the new M1 Max recently and it is currently plugged into an LG Ultrawide 2K, which I am not at all pleased with. I am planning to return it and probably buy this... How was your transition? Do you think this monitor meets the iMac 5K at least to a certain degree northwards? Thank you!

Thanks, man. Cool review 👍

Thank you, getting it next week. Great review

Seriously underrated content right here! Loved the review! Have been thinking for quite some time about getting this and this might just make me pull the trigger! (p.s Earned yourself a sub mate!)

You are a lifesaver. Had got this same monitor post reviewing your video almost 2 years back. Now im using the same video to pack my monitor back to it's original box too. Love this unpacking... knowing the weight of the monitor to almost 17 kg it's not easy to do it. Kudos 😅

What a great review. Very detailed and informative. God bless you. Subscribed.

The fact that I can get ride of my docking station this is a game changer with the extra ports on the monitor and it can charge my MacBook excellent video!

My favorite feature of this monitor was highlighted in this video - the "automatic, integrated, cable management system"

Very nice review. I can underline everything said. I have a Dell U4021QW coming from a Dell U2713HM. I love Dell Monitors as I use also at work various different Monitors of Dell. I love the space the monitor gives me. There are two buts! 1. Even the U4021QW has a resolution of 5kx2k (two 27" Monitor side by side) I run the Monitor with the resolution of 4608x1944, because the higher resolution was too small to see or my eyes too old. 2. The issue of organising the possible amount of windows, which will be helped with by the Dell Monitor Manager, is extra work load.Which should not be underestimated. It is principally not an issue with the monitor. It more an issue of self-organization.The extra space needs extra work which might ruin your gains you get from the fact that you have more apps in parallel visible. There are some smaller issue: In Teams you share either a specific window or the screen. If you have such a large screen the content will be very small to your team members. You can share only a application window, but then when you want to show another application you have to switch the window that is still okay but you end up sharing your full screen so you don't have to switch so much. Manageable but an extra skill you have to pickup. At last a question: Why do all the Monitor KZreadr reviewers have a screen lamp on their monitors ? You even have a lamp on the side of your monitor. I would never do this because a light on the the screen will of course create glare and reduce the brightness of the monitor which is with 300 cd/mm2 not very bright.Good enough for rooms also bright rooms. But a light on the monitor is like having a the sun shining at the screen. Can't see that this helps. Look forward to a new review of yours !

Hi bro, thanks for your sharing indeed. I am using the same 4K LG 27 monitor and I am so satisfy with 16:9 3840 x 2160. How does it feel when you change to this and sacrificed a significant resolution? Like watching KZread 4K or checking news in web??

Nice review.. How does MacBook behave.. Does it ramp up the fans? On my 27" 1440, when I connect my MBP 16", it ramps the fans.. That's well known issue with latest Macs..

Hows the color for video and photo editing? Accurate? Does it display 4k videos?

Great video. What do you think about the curve screen for graphic design. Is it difficult to generate straight lines and great print ads when the monitor is curved? Thanks

Thanks for the review. I believe that "cable integrator" hole should have been out of sight of the user. Like eg behind the monitor. Don't ya ?

How did the lost vertical space coming from an 4k monitor affect your productivity?

Hello, i am interested in this monitor for productive office work (mainly programming, web browsing and reading/writing office docs). How good is text resolution? On a similar LG monitor i read issues about blurry text that is bad for productivity as you need to scale up, so you lose productivity advantage. Does the same happen on this Dell monitor too?

I'm also into buying 34 inch monitor. I'm not sure about the curve. Does it good for productivity? Did you have any problems with the curve compared to flat monitor? Thank you.

can I ask about making a video with this monitor dislpying only black desktop, and olny white desktop. (75 % brightness and 50 contrast) Without light in the room, or with only low light level. Without lamp abowe the monitor.. In order to see to backlight uniformity.

I am considering the 34 inch Ultrawide or the 32 U3223QE monitor, the only concern i have is 4k vs the WQHD. My current setup is actually 1080p, would you say that the QHD 1440p is a good bump from the 1080p? I just don't want to buy the ultrawide and feel the screen is the same as the 1080p.

what desk are you using

Thinking of ordering. How can I connect this to Bose/Sonos soundbar for good sound quality and use it as a hub. It doesn’t have optical audio out or hdmi-arc. Just the 2.5mm Jack. What am I missing?

Just because I like all your workstation. 1) Could you tell me type of office chair you have there or at least the brand?

This is loooking like good idea to have some light shining up at the back of screen. Actually I have Yama G-Master GB3461 which is flat and after one year of using I think about to switch to some curve one. Thank you in advance, regards, P*

Hey! Thank you for the comment. So MacOS has done a good job. Now I’ve had the monitor for almost a month, I honestly can’t tell the difference now. The LG just because it had more pixels was that tiny bit sharper but now I’d absolutely take the extra space from the form factor. The Ultrasharp line up has been designed to be as good as it can from 1440p and it’s very impressive 🤟🏼

Hi SLT, I bought the very same monitor couple weeks ago but I had to return it because the monitor was hanging in a crooked way, tending to the right (the circular head on the inner side that connects monitor and the stand was also not straightly assembled). I was wondering have you had the same issue with your monitor, if yes how did you fix it? (The customer service told me to apply force onto it on the other side of the monitor to correct it, but the monitor and stand was strictly assembled). Thanks in advance, Merve

Hi, can you tell me the actual size of the screen, height and width ?

I'm in the market for a new display as well, for use with both an older Intel Macbook Pro and a new M1 Pro. Everybody I know tells me to stay away from 1440p displays as they (supposedly) look awful when connected to a Mac. What about scaling issues, are you using this Dell monitor at native resolution ? What about sharpness ? I come from a 2017 27 inch iMac with 5K retina display but need to sell it for practical reasons ; an external 5K display is way too expensive so looking at 4K or 1440p displays...

My wife has a MacBook Pro and I'm trying to find the right ultrawide curved monitor for her. As a PC user I baffled (and have failed find a concise explanation anywhere) about the correct/best/potential limitations of MacBook output - monitor input setup. Does using a USB C dongle to HDMI restrict data transfer to below 1440p? Is buying a monitor with a USB C input better? You're using USB C to display port, why? I'm driving myself nuts trying to make sure I'm getting/doing the right thing.
