    I bought this some time ago and use it as my primary at home for both casual gaming and productivity/WFH. A very minor complaint is that it can have a bit of ghosting when moving windows around on the screen, but other than that I have no complaints. Mounted on an NB F100A. Happy with the value-for-money.

      That's the only complaint I had as well. Only during gaming though. Ended up switching to an IPS which is better but this is still a great monitor for the price.

    I bought this about 2 years ago and paid 550$ for it.

    Use it for office as well as gaming. Its a decent monitor.

    really good monitor, been using it for 2 years now.

    Occasionally when i fire up my pc u get screen flickering.

    Great monitor. Use it for WFH and gaming. Paid $600 and was happy.

  • Can vouch for this after being recommended by one of the Ozbargainer. Paid $485 last month after scrambling for expired coupons lol. This is a good price!

  • I got this 18 months ago, under $300 refurbished with a discount code, looked brand new on arrival

    Great monitor

  • bought originally for gaming but upgraded and ended up using this for our CCTV monitor. It's been running 24/7 for the past 2+ years, no issues.

    Good for whoever missed out on the Xiaomi deal

  • +1

    Shame it's not 1500R, I like the extra curve

  • Bought this some two years ago for 500+ , and switched to an Alienware 38", handing down the S3422DWG to my son, who loves it.
    This is well worth the money and personally I prefer a single big monitor over a dual screen.
    (I loved how easily this allowed you to switch inputs from the keyboard. The Alienware needs me to press buttons on the monitor.
    Only complaint was that it didn't come with a speaker but installed drivers to support an external speaker.)

    • How much was the Alienware?

    Dell (and Dell ebay) often have decent Black Friday discounts, so consider waiting a few weeks. I picked this up last Black Fri for substantially less.

    • +1

      Can I ask how much you paid for? I did a quick search here and the price last November was $473.43..

      • +1

        Sure. I paid $313 after using a Dell Student discount code (I think 7% off the ticket price).

        There was also an Amex 10% cashback on Dell purchases at the time, so that really sweetened it.

        I really have no excuse for not posting it at the time. Soz.

  • How does this compare to the recent Xiaomi monitor deal that was posted?

  • For home studio production (eg Ableton), is it better to have two monitors or one big one like this?

    I currently have a 24" on a mount and was planning to buy a second ~32" flat screen and mount that separately

    • +2

      I went from 2x 27" to a single 34" Ultrawide and for me it is a great improvement (WFH + gaming). Other than saving desk space, having 2 separate screens felt disjointed to me, I would use the 2nd screen less then I should simply because it wasn't my main screen. Having a single 34" is roughly 1.5x 27" screens which was the perfect balance for me. There is more than enough real estate to have multiple windows and applications open at the same time. For example I still game in a 2560x1440 16:9 borderless window in the centre of the screen and have desktop space on the left and right of the game for emails / messages / videos etc.

      I don't think i would ever go back to having 2 large separate monitors, maybe a small 15" portable on the side if i need to have something displayed on it long term.

      It's been a very long time since I have dabbled in music production…but I would imagine it would depend on your preferences/workflow, and how you like to set things up.

      I'd imagine you want a larger screen for your DAW. Whether that means more wide resolution (for more overview of your tracks) or more tall resolution (to fit in more tracks), is probably personal preference. (FWIW, a 4K screen has more vertical AND more horizontal resolution than this ultrawide, even thought the 34" ultrawide will be a bit wider physically.)

      And you might also want a second screen, for plug-ins and the like.

      So you probably want as large a screen as you can fit/afford/matches your preferences, as well as a second screen if you want it (to shove plug-ins and stuff).

      Given the above, I would say 32" 4K + 24" 1080p is probably going to be better than this 34" by itself. But if 32" 4K is too dense ppi for you (will be much higher ppi than your 24"), you may prefer 34" ultrawide + 24" 1080p.

      • I might have to check out some 4k displays as that was going to be my preference, but even with glasses my vision is far from perfect and I already struggle reading Ableton text in 1080p on the 24"

        • +1

          Yeah, coincidentally, I previously was running dual monitors with the exact two types of monitors you are considering: a 34" ultrawide + 32" 4K (with 100% scaling / no scaling). The text on the 4K was certainly a lot smaller, and I found the 34" easier on the eyes to read. I used the ultrawide as my main monitor in front of me, with the 32" off to the side - but I actually had the 32" pulled in closer to me, not at the same distance as the ultrawide, to make it easier to read (due to the smaller text).

          I wouldnt say I prefered either one to the other, though - I liked them both for different uses.

          But, I've now replaced the 34" ultrawide with a 40" 5K2K ultrawide (which is basically a 32" 4K stretched wider) - just a "cheapie" (relative to other 40" 5K2K screens, which are crazy expensive!) Kogan one. But I must say - 40" 5K2K is pretty awesome! 😀

          Honestly, I think any of the above monitors will be a nice upgrade/complement to your 24". Good luck!

          • @caprimulgus: Thanks for the comprehensive reply. That's very helpful info!

  • It has been a long time for this price. Should I go for this or G3223Q

    • Depends on your usage I guess. The G3223Q would be better for gaming but the S3422DWG is a solid all rounder if you're wfh and casual gaming

  • +1

    I've been using this for a few years now, works well as a gaming monitor, watching tv and I work on it 9 hours a day.

  • Does this have power delivery? Enough for a MacBook Pro 13”?

  • Uses this as my single screen for over a year both gaming and WFH, purchased for a bit over 500. Agree with above some minor ghosting (infinitely better than Samsung in same price range which was so garbage I returned it to buy this instead), but incredibly good specs for price even at full price.

    Mine had one single stuck warm dead pixel (stuck green) a few months after, Dell support shipped a new monitor out straight away and I just returned mine in same box. Very happy with the screen and after sales support, definitely recommend if looking for a low/mid range ultra wide.

  • I have two of these side by side they look great however one flickers and one does not

    I wonder if anyone can tell me how to upgrade the firmware

  • Bought this on a deal a few years ago. If you get this monitor there are specific settings that will make it look so much better. It also does not perform well under 60fps. I used a guide similar to this one
