    Can this do multiple computers on this screen side by side (e.g work laptop and home computer).

    Is it possible to control them both with that 1 mouse and keyboard by moving my cursor to edge of each frame?

      I found the easiest and reliable way is using remote desktop.

      I open the work laptop via remote desktop, and put it in the Desktop2. Then set the mouse middle-button(left or right) to switch between desktop1 and desktop2.

      • ChickenDinner123 on 03/09/2022 - 09:21

        Ahh thats smart, use virtual desktops for RD.

          As with bingohah - I have Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Monitor - U4320Q & do exactly this. Instead of running 4 cables, just the 1 USB-C to main PC and have another computer and 2 laptops that I remote into as needed.

      Can this do multiple computers on this screen side by side (e.g work laptop and home computer).

      Yes it via Dell Display Manager (see the Key features of "Dell S3422DWG Monitor" section here: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000186818/dell-s342…). Dell video on their Display Manager software: https://youtu.be/cqSQO92wCXA. Around 4:22 it covers moving between the devices.

      Disclaimer: I've never used the software.

      • ChickenDinner123 on 02/09/2022 - 16:32

        Brilliant, yeah that's what I was looking for. Thank you

        • Averell on 04/09/2022 - 13:40

          I have an U2720Q, which supports that DDM, but not picture-by-picture, nor KVM.
          DDM is only for controlling brightness, changing video input source,… - whatever can be done using the hardware buttons. The only good application of that is auto brightness controlled by my macbook.

        • Averell on 04/09/2022 - 13:44

          You'll need PbP to have one side of the screen from source 1, the other side from source 2.
          KVM is needed for using one set of keyboard/mouse for two PCs. I've never tried KVM feature from a Dell monitor though.

    Bought this monitor recently and it's amazing. I will say that if you have a Mac (or even a PC for that matter) make sure you use USB-C -> Displayport instead of HDMI. It enabled my Mac to use Adaptive refresh rates and also unlocked RGB. Much better colour over YCbCr and the adaptive refresh rate is great.

    Can't recommend this monitor enough for both gaming and office work.

    • Reginald7711 on 02/09/2022 - 09:11
      +1

      From the tech specs: DisplayPort: 144 Hz, HDMI: 100 Hz

      • JSONBourne on 02/09/2022 - 09:12
        +4

        Exactly, so you get higher refresh rates too. But importantly you only get access to Freesync on a Mac over Displayport.

    • OZBsince2018 on 02/09/2022 - 09:19

      But thats only possible with Mac or PC. What to do if I want to use it with PS5? HDMI => DP?

      • pancaeks on 02/09/2022 - 09:29
        +1

        HDMI will only get 100hz on this monitor. If you want higher then you can get 144hz off DP.

    • sacs2k1 on 02/09/2022 - 09:53

      Did you have to buy DisplayPort to USB cable for your Mac? Or is that included?

      • thepurist on 02/09/2022 - 10:00
        +1

        Only comes with HDMIxHDMI and DPxDP cables. You have to buy DPxUSBC.

      • JSONBourne on 02/09/2022 - 10:29

        I bought the cable Creation adapter off Amazon for $20

        • nsavi on 08/10/2022 - 22:04

          Does that charge too? I am after a dock to connect to my work laptop T41 to this monitor that can charge too.
          I bought this one but I have to disconnect it often to charge the laptop.

    • rlee7723 on 03/09/2022 - 13:14

      Mr Jason Bourne. Thank you for the tip! Seeking some technical advice if that's possible: My partner's Macbook Pro is pre-USB-C. It has a mini DisplayPort so would that unlock RGB as well if we connect a cable from this to the displayport? The current colour is washed out and fuzzy using mini DisplayPort to HDMI connection. Thanks in advance!

  • bluetooth on 02/09/2022 - 10:14

    Just wanted to say thanks to OP. Was in the market for an ultra wide for my academic work. Was just about to buy one, then husband passes by looking over my shoulder, then proceeded to remind me about marriage being a 50/50 thing blah blah blah lol…so ended up ordering two, with academic discount it brought the price down to about $500 each.

      So this one doesn't have the 1440p problem that the one from OP's has?
      I'm always wonder why the gaming version of this monitor is cheaper than the non-gaming one :-(
      In office we have a non-gaming, S3422 (non-gaming), and I couldn't see any issue with office's Intel Mac Pro 2020.
      Thanks.

  • Flying Ace on 02/09/2022 - 19:59

          But it depends if they have in stock. If refurb model, it should be quicker. For mine, they only started manufacturing in Malaysia after I placed the order.. hence the delay

  • zzap on 03/09/2022 - 09:49

    This is a VA panel, so viewing angles are limited. Is this not an important factor when considering ultrawide, curved screens, or not an issue?

    • Mostly Fanless on 05/09/2022 - 22:41

      You can notice some washout if you move your head across to the side but if you're in the middle you don't notice it. If you have a look at the review of this on rtings.com they have video with the monitor rotating, you can compare to others. This one is much better than a cheap IPS the same size I had before it.

  • OzFrugie on 03/09/2022 - 09:57

    My pc has hdmi port. If i use hdmi to DP cable, can i achieve 144Hz refresh rate , or still restricted to 100?

      I believe that's a no.

      • OzFrugie on 03/09/2022 - 10:13

        What does not work because 60fps is unachievable I will turn FreeSync/G Sync off.

        My experience will Dell support on a monitor was top notch. They replaced a monitor after 2.5 years for a single dead pixel. Although, this is going back 10 years and I didn't buy any extended warranty

  • Puffy Vulva on 04/09/2022 - 09:56

    Just a heads up the VA panel on this is kinda old and black smearing is very noticable
    Kinda sucks after coming from tn
    if you're a big gamer I would definitely consider something else
    Also I haven't been able to enable gsync on this monitor with two different gpus
    Other than those issues it's been a good monitor for me

    • Puffy Vulva on 05/09/2022 - 19:54

      i actually just got gsync working on the monitor with a 3060 ti
      it might have been a driver issue preventing me enabling it a couple months ago when i got the monitor
      cant speak for the performance of it yet though but seems like there's a lot of issues online hehe

  • nsavi on 04/09/2022 - 19:11

    How good is this for a WFH set up.

    I will connect a windows laptop mostly and at times a Macbook Air.

    I've always used dual monitors. If I wanted to extend 2 apps
    - a browser tab and a doc on to this single screen, Does this do like a split screen or as both side by side?

    • Reginald7711 on 04/09/2022 - 21:38

      this resolution works great for 2 apps. e.g. browser and word doc. fits 2 apps comfortably side by side.

      I'm planning on using it as a WFH display with my macbook pro, then as a gaming display for my gaming windows pc (when not WFH ofc ;) )

      There has been some discussion in the comments about it not working well on mac. I have a dell with the same resolution I use at work with a macbook pro for years and i've never had any issues. im going to try my luck with this one and a macbook pro, dell support are usually pretty good so im thinking worst case they'll let me swap it with another dell monitor if i flag issues with a mac within 30 days of delivery (but do this at your own risk).

    S3422DWC (USB-C monitor) is also on sale.. even bigger sale 50% off
    I believe it should suit better for work / productivity, while S3422DWG is more gaming/media oriented (as it has higher refresh rate and HDR).

    S3422DWC is 20 days wait though….

    • Reginald7711 on 05/09/2022 - 19:43

      any reasons why the S3422DWC would be better suited for work / productivity over the S3422DWG rather then the same and ~$60 more expensive? Besides the USB-C port that an adapter/cable would solve

      S3422DWG goes brighter (who doesn't want a blindingly bright spreadsheet?) plus the other features like better refresh rate and latency

      I'd add that the S3422DWG would likely hold a higher re-sale value because of the refresh rate

      • OzFrugie on 05/09/2022 - 23:43

        KVM switch is handy for multiple devices, and DWC can charge up to 65W. I believe DWG cannot charge?

        I personally have usb c laptop (surface laptop 4) so with DWC I can just plug in to usb c on DWC.
        I am not sure how it will work with DWG Display Port.

        You said one will need to buy an adapter for it? Will it guarantee to work, any potential issues etc?

    • plentifoo on 06/09/2022 - 18:18

      i just bought this for my father in law for his home office setup. was initially going with the DWG but decided this is a better productivity piece as I'm also getting him a surface laptop 4. The direct usb- c connectivity would be great so i can do away with the surface dock, saving both money and space. I've been googling the KVM feature of this monitor but can't seem to find much - How do i connect a wireless keyboard and mouse with a standard usb-a dongle to the monitor?

    • Reginald7711 on 06/09/2022 - 23:28

      you can visit https://dell.com/S3422DWG - drivers/colour profile installed ok on windows 11 and colour looks fine after a restart and night mode off, but maybe that's just me

      previously i was using samsung and benq monitors and they all have their different colours

    Hey OzBargainers.
    Hope you can help urgently.
    I need to buy a video card tomorrow (Sunday) so I can get use of this monitor I just received.

    Unfortunately my current video card won't work on the monitor.
    My current specs are -

    Monitor - Dell S3422 DWG
    Motherboard - Gigabyte B360M D3H-CF
    CPU - Intel Core i7-8700 – 3.2 Ghz

    I need recommendations for a card that will run this monitor on my existing Motherboard.
    Decent bang for bucks of course.

    Thanks in advance.

    I am using windows T41 laptop(hdmi) to Dell S3422DWG(hdmi) but doesnt gige the full resolution/refresh rate. Moreover its too many cables.
