    Impeccable timing. Was about to buy one. Saved $271.80 plus extra 2% cashrewards.

    For those looking to buy a curved 34", there's basically 3 in the market currently for sale - Dell, LG and Samsung.

    None of them are perfect, but here is how I eliminated my choices:

    • LG has serious LED bleed (more than Dell) and the monitor is not height adjustable
    • Samsung has great contrast but colours are not accurate at angles due to technology used (VA panels), also texts aren't as sharp
    • Dell has overall good colour and text sharpness, it swivels, tilts and height adjustable, plus they have a one bright pixel = full monitor replacement warranty, and they send one out straight away, not wait for you to return yours first, all postage free - and for 3 years. So peace of mind there. Dell also has super thin bezels when off. A 1cm margin does appear when switched on though.

    For those who can wait, Acer and HP are releasing their own soon. No dates yet. HP takes up more physical real estate it has speakers either side of the monitor, and relatively thick too. But it looks nice. Acer appears to have really good specs, but I can't wait anymore.

    Cheers.

    • shaun-o on 31/03/2015 - 11:54

      I've read the dell has pretty bad back light bleed.

      • freelife on 31/03/2015 - 12:01

        It's a side effect of IPS screens so regardless of manufacturer, bleeds will exist. The news for Dell here is that LG's bleed is much worse, and based on reviews, Dell's bleed is tolerable, especially if used in normal room lighting where it cannot be seen. If you want to use this as a cinema screen, then it might bother you. I plan on using it as my normal everyday screen, not for games or movies, as I have a 55" TV for that.

        I can post review when I receive the unit next week. But overall reviews on the web rates Dell as having best overall quality and value for what's out in the market right now. Plus they have excellent warranty - one dead pixel and they replace your whole screen immediately.

    • sycly on 31/03/2015 - 21:34

      Still using the 30" Dell IPS monitor i got 7 years ago for $1400. Worth every cent. I got a Yamakasi Spartan 30" recently to go dual monitor setup. Still use my Dell as main.

    Oh damn, this is very tempting to replace the aging 2407's. Testament to dell's build quality, those are 9 years old and still great, just wanting more…

    • imolared on 31/03/2015 - 13:51

        I have 2 x 2407's, I was keen but missed out on the 2405 group buys (if that's how you got yours?)

        Unfortunately, as you know they weren't cheap back then, one was near $1000, the other was I think $700ish, which meant I bought one a year later and the brightness/contrast/colour has never been a perfect match. I always wanted a triple setup but that'd mean buying 3 together to avoid this happening again and when you price that, I'd rather spend a little more and get one of these instead.

        Just don't think my wife will see the merit in the idea…

      • myfeetarehappy on 02/04/2015 - 18:53

        Don't see Dell releasing another version this year (Dell is my preference). Price seems pretty locked across all brands to $1200-1300 as an exclusive niche product. Don't think it will drop much with next models especially if exchange rate drops.

        Doesn't affect your FOV of a flat screen. I have no problem looking at mega sized flat screens. To go curved would limit your viewing position, which is even worse for a TV.

      I got the LG from MSY on the weekend - $1169.00 FYI. So they are getting cheaper! Bummer for me on Saturday DELL didn't have this in its eBay store and MSY had 10% off - So I jumped, LED Bleed isn't bad, its there but its minimal - So I guess that's luck of the draw.

    • freelife on 31/03/2015 - 17:02

      It's also important to factor in post-sales and customer service in your price comparison. Dell has superior customer service, warranty and refund options. You can return the Dell simply with change of mind (no defects) within 15 days. LG does not allow this. LG also has poor customer service, I used to have an LG laptop. For a $1K+ piece of tech which needs the safeguard of quality warranty, I'd consider that in the decision.

  • [Deactivated] on 31/03/2015 - 23:16

    I do a bit of gaming, so that's the only reason why I don't buy these curved displays. This monitor has an 8 ms response time! I can't bare to go from a BENQ 144 Hz, 1 ms response time monitor to one of these.

    Never understood the appeal of curved screens. What do you get that you don't get from a flat screen?

    • freelife on 01/04/2015 - 07:27
      +2

      On a flat screen in a format this wide you'll get slight distortion of images at the far edges because of how close you are to the screen. The curve bends the edges to the natural curvature of your perspective. The curve of a lens, whether your eyes or a camera lens, is basic physics that allows light to focus into the receiver. Light therefore travels at an equal distance at all points of the screen, as opposed to a flat screen where the lights at the edges have to travel a longer distance, hence the slight distortion or discomfort. This is less effective on a curved TV because your seating distance means the whole TV is within a smaller curvature in view and the curve losses effect. Unless it's a giant cinema screen… Eg the IMAX would be awesome curved.

      Curved screens are especially useful if using multiple side by side. The curvature of the combined screens is even more pronounced and you can view far edges of the set-up comfortably. Chain enough together in a large room and you can create a perfect circle. Do the same above and below and you could effectively live inside a 3D virtual sphere like a spermatozoa inside an egg creating a new life.

      • lostn on 01/04/2015 - 19:37

        It still sounds like a gimmick and a desperate attempt to sell new TVs in a market where everyone already has an HDTV and no reason to buy a new one.

        I've had no problems with 'distortions' from flat screens. Hell, I had no problem when they were CRTs and the curvature was in the opposite direction, which must have distorted things even worse! I've been in cinemas and even imax where there are super massive flat screens and never noticed the distortion.

        The big trade off is, for a big screen TV in the lounge room, only one person gets the optimal view. Everyone else is going to have a distorted view because it was only calibrated for the person sitting dead center. It would also depend on you sitting the perfect distance from the screen, or else each pixel will still not be equidistant to your eyes.

        • freelife on 02/04/2015 - 06:19

          It's been widely reviewed that curved TVs are a completely different experience. Curved TVs are not optimal for the curved screen experience because you're not close enough to the screen to benefit from the reduced angles at the edges.

          For this 34" curved monitor think of it like this, imagine you were reading a book in front of you as wide as this monitor. It would be more comfortable reading it bent at the spine and the far edges wrapping toward your eyes, rather than a stiff straight book where you have to adjust your view to read the far edges. Might be subtle, but it makes a noticeable difference.

    Here's a great in-depth review with lots of pics.

    http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u3415w.htm

    "Conclusion

    The size and format of the Dell U3415W took a few days to get used to, but after that we really did enjoy working with the wide desktop space, high resolution and comfortable pixel pitch size. The curved format was also nice to work with we felt, providing an immersive experience and a more natural feel than the flat 34" models we've seen. Performance wise the factory calibration was very pleasing, with a decent setup out of the box. This was coupled with a strong IPS contrast ratio as well which impressed us. The use of a flicker free backlight and light AG coating, as we've seen from all recent Dell UltraSharp models, was great news as well. Something which Dell should really start promoting we think.

    Unlike the LG 34UM95 we tested, the stand was far more versatile here, offering a good range of adjustments. Connectivity was good and it was nice to see a few extras such as the dual USB upstream, integrated speakers and USB 3.0 support offered here. Dell have done a good job with the features on this model. They've even included a high end feature from their premium grade screens, the uniformity compensation function. This worked very well at improving the panel uniformity, it's just a shame it's not more flexible in its operation - being locked at a certain brightness level when used. Response times were moderate for an IPS panel, but we had perhaps hoped for a little better given some of the smaller IPS models we've tested from Dell recently. Maybe the 'fast' response time mode could have done with being a little less aggressive to make it more useable.

    Overall the U3415W offered some good all-round performance you'd expect from a modern IPS panel. It was coupled with a nice set of extras, stand adjustments and features making it a nice choice if you are after an ultra-wide screen in this size range."

    Anyone have suggestions for Graphics Card, I am using a Quadro5000 2.5gb ATM and will need to upgrade as It doesn't support anything above 2560x1440. So was thinking I would get the Asus R9 290X 4gb card or the cheaper Asus R9 280X 3gb but its tough trying to find the resolution details on these cards as they are not listed on either the Asus website or resellers which is very strange.

    So anyone have suggestions for a graphics card I will be using the dell 34" U3415W WQHD 3440x1440 for mostly Photoshop / Lightroom and internet.

    So who's enjoying their new monitor? I assume those who ordered received it by now. Got mine yesterday, it's a great quality screen. The bleed issue is a non-issue for me cos I don't work in the dark, but it is there - mainly on the left top and bottom corners. The colour calibration was great off the box, didn't have to tweak anything. Except for brightness, I have it down to 35% for comfortable viewing. The adjustable neck is very smooth and easy, one of its best features. I was expecting to be wowed by the size of the screen but since I didn't have a previous monitor I had to reference point except by 50" TV so it actually looked small haha. But it's superb for having multi browsers open etc. Happy with my purchase.

      Purchased mine on April 1st. Counting down the days until delivery now. Apparently 14th of April but hoping it's delivered sooner.

      I did purchase the Dell P2715Q (4k IPS 27") monitor for $711 (last ozbargain deal in feburary!!), but product was constantly delayed and ultimately i canceled the order as I think this monitor is nicer. IMO will provide more real working space since 4k at 27" is prob too small PPI.

      • MMM on 08/04/2015 - 13:36

        Maybe worth checking delivery confirmation with Dell as I had received many different delivery dates, they say they are waiting for payment and my PayPal account says paid on the 31st March and sent 6th April?? funds came out my bankacc 2nd April so just trying to sort out the mixup but glad I checked otherwise I would have been waiting till the 14th April then find out its still not despatched.

    If you find that no sound is coming out of your integrated monitor speakers when using DisplayPort, solution here: http://www.dell.com/Support/Article/hk/en/hkdhs1/SLN296515

    Fixed the problem for me. On that note, speakers are decent, just lacks bass (bass just "thumps"). But tones across the range are very clear and has good depth (doesn't sound tinny). Volume goes loud. I think the upcoming HP z34 with side speakers will win out, purely because the sound will fire at you, not downwards (assuming quality is decent).

    One interesting phenomenon with the curved edges is a sense of parallex (I think that's the right word). I have the OSX purple mountain background and the edges jump out, looking 3D. Or alternatively, it looks like the glass edge sticks out like the glass has a 3D bezel. It's just like those old school abstract images where in a certain focus, you can see the 3D image. With the same principles, it's the differences in depth creating the illusion. Because it looks 3D you almost want to reach out to the edges and feel it but of course it's just an illusion. Put your eye closer, and the illusion disappears. Wonder if anyone else experiences it.

    I received mine yesterday - it's a beautiful but flawed monitor. Being only the third one on the market I can understand the limitations will be removed over time. I'm probably going to return it (2 week return period + Paypal will pay the costs up to $45) as in the coming months there will be better offerings on the market - for an $1100~ monitor it's hard to stomach.

    The picture by picture functionality is a little rough (plugging in two pc's) - to switch keyboard's between devices you have to fiddle around with the settings each team - this often has a delay - and is not really as described. The touch buttons aren't exactly amazing either.

    The firmware could also use some work - in the product description there is a "Firmware Update Utility" though I've found no reference of it or mention besides that page. Mine also occasionally completely redraws the screen - however I feel this is a GPU issue rather than the monitor.
