the screen is an LCD. i know that i wasn't going to get a big fancy OLED this size for under a thousand dollars, but i feel like the manufacurer had deliberately avoided mentioning the screen type. however, the color quality and visual quality are much better than my previous setup (a 41 inch 30hz LCD samsung smart TV). Even with mid/high-end costs, they elected to use the VA panel for this monitor, which surprised us. This is an excellent choice for those who require a high contrast ratio, as it typically exceeds the average when compared to other panels. Those speakers have a fairly decent volume, but other than that, they are quite average. Of course, it is better than what you find in low-end screens, but it isn’t even comparable to those of the: LG 34WP65C-B, for example, which has the same price range as this one right now. Connectors Knowing this, Dell decided to keep the ratio at a reasonable level, not too high but not too low. This monitor has a native brightness of 300 nits, which is a low/mid-range value for max display brightness.We’ll get further into colors and image accuracy in the image quality section, but for now, you should note that this monitor has very washed-out colors out of the box. Of course, you can tweak them to look a little bit better, but it will hardly meet the requirements for professional use even if you do so. Mar 2, 2023 Update: We compared this one to the LG 34WP65C-B. We also compared its prices and features to a bunch of monitors in the same price range. Corrected Typos, and added further information in all sections.

Speaking of FreeSync, the S3422DWG offers FreeSync premium but is not certified to work with G-Sync on Nvidia cards. Many of the monitors I've reviewed work with G-Sync anyway when forced on in the Nvidia control panel, and for the most part, Dell's offering worked with my Nvidia card – albeit with some quirks. At the native resolution of 3440x1440, for example, Nvidia's Pendulum Demo worked decently well – but if I dropped down to a different resolution, I would notice a fair amount of stuttering and tearing, even though G-Sync was enabled. I haven't experienced this on other monitors, so it's worth noting, since it could be indicative of less-than-perfect compatibility, and you may notice some quirks in certain games depending on your settings. FreeSync worked beautifully when connected to my AMD card, however. Dell S3422DWG - Gaming All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. So far, we’ve seen some nice aesthetics and external characteristics for this display, but now it’s time to look at one of the display’s most significant elements: the panel type. Accidental Damage-Additional Information: Accidental Damage Service excludes theft, loss, and damage due to fire, flood or other acts of nature, or intentional damage. Customer may be required to return damaged unit to Dell. Limit of 1 qualified incident per contract year. For more information, consumers visit Accidental Damage Service Contract (Consumer) or commercial customers visit Accidental Damage Service Contract (Commercial).To test the panel in this monitor, I used an X-Rite i1Display Pro to measure a series of patterns in CalMAN Ultimate, alongside some by-eye tests with patterns from Lagom and Blur Busters. The Dell S3422DW is a 32-inch 1440p monitor (3440 x 1440), giving a high PPI number and boosting visual sharpness with barely perceptible pixels. Out of the box colors indeed looked washed out. However, after calibrating it with the built-in macos functionality (it took 20 seconds), it is completely another story. Most of those people who feel disappointed, I suppose that it is likely because they did not know that they had to set it up correctly. Win from any angle: Game in comfort for extended periods thanks to a new slim, tapered stand with easy height, tilt and slant adjustability. The angled base provides sturdy support and a smaller footprint, allowing you to be closer to the action.
