[Used] Dell UltraSharp U3419W 34" UWQHD IPS 60Hz Curved Monitor (No Stand) 3-Month Warranty $199 + Del / $0 MEL C&C @ BPC Tech

600

Ridiculous value for a monitor with these specs, even with no stand and shipping costs - paid $38 for StarTrack to Brisbane area, so $237 total, ordered Sunday arrived today.

Should go without saying it's not an ideal monitor for gaming, but honestly it would be plenty enjoyable for many titles imo (just not competitive shooters etc).

The screen was well packed and works perfectly, has a great picture and there were no scratches or dead pixels on my unit.

Specs:

Size & Resolution: 34-inch, UltraWide, 3440 x 1440 (WQHD)
Aspect Ratio: 21:9
Panel Type: IPS
Colour Coverage: 99% sRGB
Brightness: 300 cd/m²
Ports: USB-C (with power delivery up to 90W), HDMI, DisplayPort, USB 3.0, audio out
Refresh Rate: 60Hz
Features: Built-in KVM switch, Picture-by-Picture, Picture-in-Picture
Weight: 8.2kg without stand

Pros:

  • good bit newer than popular U3415W from recent deals
  • decent brightness at 300 cd/m²
  • USB-C with solid power delivery at 90W
  • USB hub and KVM switch
  • excellent overall value

Cons:

  • 60Hz peasantry
  • useless "fast" overdrive mode (visible overshoot like if mouse trails were enabled, just don't)

Before anyone has a sook about the "free shipping over $199" like on that last thread, it's a pretty heavy unit at 8.2kg (not incl. packaging) and the exclusion is clearly stated on BPC's shipping policy page.

Cheers for the mad bargain BPC, couldn't be happier.

    Looks like BPC learnt their lesson and don't have the "free shipping" tag this time.

    Solid buy for the price, especially those wanting a single cord solution for laptops. Would also suit a new Mac Mini M4. Grabbed one, thanks Op!

    We use this at work and is perfect for having 3 apps on one screen, essentially 4 screens with the laptop screen.

  • Thought the title said "curved microwave". Now that's actually a great idea…

    Wish I had gotten this over the last deal. The Type C connection would have been handy.

    • Yep - after going for the 3415W a few months ago I wish I'd waited for this instead.

      • 3422W may be around the corner :)

  • Thanks op.

  • What is the year of manufacture please

    • 19 means 2019.
      Is 34" like 2* 27" ?
      Does a standard DELL stand fit this, I've got a spare one..

      • 34” is 1.5 * 27”

        • At 1440p, a 34” 21:9 is actually 1.34 * a 27” 16:9.

          3440 / 2560 = 1.343

      • +1

        That means the year the model was released, not the manufactured year.
        The manufacture could range from 2019 through to 2021, U3421WE was the replacement.

    What can be used as a stand with this?

  • I've got this Acer 28" 4k monitor:
    https://www.acer.com/gb-en/monitors/business/cb2/pdp/UM.PB2E…

    But I need more screen real estate as my setup now only allows for one monitor plus laptop screen.

    Would the monitor in this deal give me about the same vertical real estate or less, seeing that my old screen isn't ultra wide but it is 4k?

    Used for coding, would like to have IDE on screen plus 2 other apps at the same time

    • get details of both monitors and see yourself here
      https://www.displaywars.com/

      and then this
      https://reolink.com/blog/qhd-vs-4k/?srsltid=AfmBOopZMiVeSRQA…

    • 4K without scaling (100% scaling) has more desktop realestate (resolution) than this (WQHD). It has more pixels both vertically and horizontally.

      (If you use 150% scaling on your 28" 4K, then this ultrawide will give you the exact same effective vertical resolution, but more effective horizontal resolution - so yes, this would give you more desktop realestate than your 4K at 150% scaling. But the 4K will be sharper, because the actual resolution is still higher.)

      If you mean physical dimensions, this will be very slightly shorter, but much wider. It is the equivalent of a 27" QHD monitor stretched out by about 1.3x.

    • Price ?

  • would this okay to pair with flat 32" 4K ? i feel the setup would be weird as this one is curved, it cant be on the side.
    but the 32" would be too much as a side monitor..
    oh well…199 saved

    • I used a 32" 4K as a side monitor to a 34" ultrawide like this, with the 32" 4K on an arm so i could rotate freely between portrait and landscape.

      I found it to be a great setup for me personally - very flexible, and "best of both worlds", in a way.

      Only changed from it because i replaced the 34" with a 40" 5K2K (which is even more awesome, obviously!).

      • Whats your 32inch 4k. Ive been looking for 1 for cheap / sale

        • I have Dell S3221QS - it was the best option for me at the time, but there are other better/cheaper ones around now.

        • the famous Phillips one that pops up on ozb often. yo ushould check ozb more often…

      • @caprimulgus im looking at my 32" now and imagining it on the side is….. feel like overkill really …… im working with lots spreadsheet pdf and docs but still….
        yeah all monitors would be on arm

        • Portrait 32" is certainly a tall screen! But quite nice to splitscreen vertically, giving two 2160x1920 workspaces, or a more natural feeling fullscreen page for word documents.

          Overkill? Sure! But I found it nice to use! :)

          You don't need to use it in portrait though - you could just use 34" ultrawide and 32" 4K (both in landscape) side-by-side, for the flexibility of two differently shaped (and different ppi) workspaces. Just depends if you would find value in that, with your usage.

    Would a standard Dell monitor stand that comes out from a Dell ultrasharp monitor fit this?

    I saw this multiple times and didn't bother posting it. Kogan have a similar monitor for $300 something. This is second hand, has high postage and is missing the stand. It didn't seem like that much of a deal

    • link of kogan? but if kogan brand i will choose this one

  • this paired with my rog ally and the type c connection might be nice

    not going to crack 60fps at this res anyway

  • Had these all throughout our office during COVID. Fantastic monitors, but discovered a batch of these had power supply problems.

    When the USB PD (we had 60w laptops at the time) and monitor power draw went up to a certain threshold (turn brightness up to 70%), the internal USB hub would flake/die and peripherals connected (mouse, keyboard, webcam, etc) would disconnect or behave erratically.

    Bad batch turned out to be manufactured 2020 June/July. Would be wise to check this and then stress test the power supply within your 3 month warranty.
