After days of hard negotiation with Dell, I’ve managed to finalise a few deals. Got some good deals this time on gaming desktops and laptops that will be posted soon!

In the meantime, I got this monitor down to the same price as the last eBay sale.

Also got the Inspiron 15 2-in-1 Laptop down to $1124.55 (apply promo code FREEDOM45).

Not sure if the promo code will stack with cashback but you might be able to get a further 1.5% cash back through your preferred provider.

(Don’t think I’ve written this much in a post for a while!)

    I've been thinking about replacing my 2x 27" QHD 165hz Screens with one big 34" Widescreen.
    My worry is how well they scale with all games (I don't want the black bars on the side) and if pixel density a lot worse than 27" QHD?

    • Vavoom on 13/10/2021 - 10:33

      99% of games I've played have a 3440x1440 resolution setting. The 1% was like an indie pixel game.

    Too tempting….but should hold for 32" gaming monitor above with Nvidia G-SYNC. only logic to not on jump on one. Great price though.

  • m0tyrider on 13/10/2021 - 11:23

    How does the 34" look with lower resolutions? Currently gaming on a GTX 770….kinda worried it will make all the games I currently play, unplayable lmao - Overwatch/Starcraft 2/

      You'd almost certainly be in for a bad time with that card at this res and aspect ratio…

      Also, Starcraft 2 doesn't actually support ultrawide which is a total bummer. Understandable for competitive play I guess, but still sucks if you just want to enjoy the game casually as it would be great on an ultrawide monitor.

      • m0tyrider on 13/10/2021 - 11:46

        Dam…Maybe I will just go down the path of consoles - seems to be the cheaper alternative

      • wjojff on 16/10/2021 - 18:32

        Any good for movie watching?

        • itscyanide on 18/10/2021 - 10:39
          +1

          Should be great for most movies - the aspect ratio avoids the black bars that you'd otherwise have with widescreen videos and it has good contrast and black uniformity.

          Curved screens are best suited to sitting front-on though so it might be suboptimal for watching movies with a group of friends sitting at different angles. Even then though, it's probably not that much of a drama.

          Also the viewing angle limitations of VA panels tend to be overblown imo - I'd much prefer a little colour washout when viewing VA from an angle than having difficult to ignore IPS glow and low contrast ruining dark scenes regardless of where I'm sitting.

      If it makes you feel better, 32" 16:9 displays are 1.3% larger in area than 34" 21:9 ones :P

      Jokes aside though having owned both they're both great and it mostly comes down to your preference and requirements, e.g. I went back to my 31.5" for gaming as the 34" just felt too short in comparison, but for work I prefer the 34" ultrawide.

      • EnALup on 13/10/2021 - 16:24

        Hey, for work, was the text crisp like in IPS monitors? Would like to replace my 27" IPS gaming for this VA 34" ultra wide.
        I understand height wise, 34" will be simlar to 27", its the additional width we get from these 34" monitors.

        • itscyanide on 13/10/2021 - 17:09
          +1

          Yes, the text should be just as crisp - the main factor that determines this is pixel density, and WQHD @ 27" 16:9 is basically identical in that regard to UWQHD @ 34" 21:9.

          Some folks argue that scrolling text looks better on IPS screens (particularly white on black background), but that really depends on which screens you're comparing and honestly isn't a worry at all unless you're using an absolute bottom-of-the-barrel VA panel, which this one is not. For context, I stare at terminal output and code for many hours a day.

  • A4444 on 13/10/2021 - 14:27

    Hi All,

    Would this laptop heat up and have noisy fan, while doing normal work, not gaming. I ask as I have an old HP which heats up quickly and has a very noisy fan.

    thanks for your help.

  • zjz93 on 13/10/2021 - 17:41

    Can confirm it stacked with the student discount code and code Dell sent after you made a purchase for $65. Perhaps there are people out there kind enough to share their $65 discount code after the purchase. ShopBack has 1.5% cashback on monitor too.

    The total price is $445.57 for me.

  • Gustavo Fring on 13/10/2021 - 23:21

    I can't speak for other Mac users but I bought and returned the s3422dwg before as I was experiencing pretty severe case of what looked like to be vertical scanlines that were visible when I moved my head and blinked to the point where it became annoying. Turns out that some people on reddit had similar issues. I was using a usb-c to hdmi adapter but displayport might have fixed it. At the end I just got the Xiaomi ultrawide.

    • bindtactics12 on 14/10/2021 - 01:48

      Using DisplayPort, no issues (so far).
      I did try hdmi, the mac didn't seem to like it. Couldn't get the proper resolution, it wouldn't go past 1080p for some reason. Didn't bother more with it since everything worked fine with the DisplayPort cable.

      • IamaCam on 14/10/2021 - 12:04

        I tried both. Had intermittent black screen flickering. So am currently awaiting replacement. Before the Dell I had the xiaomi which never had issues. So I'm a bit gutted that the "superior' was not effective.

      • jbird84 on 15/10/2021 - 16:55

          • RenVilo on 14/10/2021 - 15:15

            @khey: Currently running a 49" but splitting it into 2 when working in the day and back into 1 at night but game only as if it was a 34". So I'm looking at getting 2x 34" stacked on top of each other or a 34" and a 27" next to each other. Think I'm getting 2 34's and if it doesn't work out stacked I'll trade my kid with a 34 for his 27 Gigabyte which looks very similar so..

    VA Ultrawide - really wanted to love this monitor. Sadly if you like Space sims (stars dissapear when you move the FOV) or are bothered by it, the black smearing is still not fixed. Also for desktops, same issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_v_pbEGDYY

    • RenVilo on 16/10/2021 - 17:44

      Monitor in that review is different.. does the same happen to this 34"? Really hope not coz that is a really sht display. Would be very sad if this screen has this display. Would try and send it back or just sell it asap haha

      • MiniMyna on 17/10/2021 - 15:27

        Unfortunately, it appears so.

        https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s3422dwg

        https://www.misteruplay2016.com/dell-s3422dwg-review/ appears to believe it isn't too bad.

        All VA Panels currently exhibit some degree of black smearing & motion flickering, with the exception of (seemingly) Samsung G7 and G9 models. Hopefully the tech will trickle down from AUO panels that are coming in. This might be a Samsung SVA panel.

        I kept almost pulling the trigger on this one but am super concerned about this. Loving immersion & space sims, am worried that there will simply be a point where it needs to be returned.

        Hopefully others can chime in, but current feelings are it'll be similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SxJerJQdGg which is unacceptable for those sensitive to changes in brightness.

        Only options really are saving to buy the Odyssey G9, go with IPS, or no be bothered by it, if it exists in the current crop.

        • RenVilo on 17/10/2021 - 16:36

          I appreciate the comment but I can't take that as a test.. the quality of the recordings seems to have a big impact as well. It seems to be updating as he moved and even the text is super bad. I have the Samsung 49" QHD which is a VA panel and I don't see any black smearing. I was on the fence with the dell as I bought my kid a 1080 about a year ago which was crap and replaced it with a qhd gigabyte. Checking rtibg they claim this dell is better than both my sammy and the gigabyte.. so decided to take it and see.. first screen to arrive on tuesday and second not even confirmed yet. If it is sht I'll sell the one and cancel the other if possible.

          For those who got theirs, have you experience anything as bad as in the video above?

            @RenVilo: Agreed, can't take a different video as gospel, so take it with a grain of salt. In my understanding Samsung might have overcome some of these limitations. Would be fascinated to know whether this impacts this Dell, a video and/ or your experience once unpacked would be extremely helpful.

    • itscyanide on 18/10/2021 - 10:27

      Could be a limitation of your video card, do you know which one you've got?

    • MiniMyna on 18/10/2021 - 11:00

      That is really quick.

      Have you tried using DP instead of HDMI?

      Do you have a second monitor connected?

      Also, do you see any black smearing at 60 hz (as in the above post / youtube link)? Would appreciate opinions.

      • Fordeals on 18/10/2021 - 11:05

        I have got intel UHD 620 graphics card on my device..
        I have tried DP as well but no luck..

        Also I don't play games just bought it for work so havent really noticed any smearing.

        • MiniMyna on 18/10/2021 - 12:09

          Not an expert but this could be the issue.

          Looks like it might be difficult to output the bandwidth for your UHD 620:

          "144hz refresh rate with 1920x1080p resolution (or higher) can only be achieved with any of the following outputs due to bandwidth requirements:

          HDMI 2.0
DisplayPort 1.2
DVI-D (dual-link rate)

          Intel drivers only offer support for DVI-D single-link rates."

          https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000…

          Looks like max bandwidth might be 7.92 Gbps, so you could do Full HD @ 120 Hz, but no higher.

          Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm not accurate.

          Also, do you notice any smearing on a black background with white text? This is the real test for the monitor. ( https://preview.redd.it/6g0hnj9lymj61.gif?format=mp4&s=c9a1a… )

          that being said… I did manage to use ddcctl instead to control the input so guess DDM isn't really needed after all on Mac.

    mine just arrived.. It is now hooked up next to my 49" Sammy.. Screen does look clean but testing it now. UFO test has a max of 63 fps for some reason. Running a 6700XT so…

    Ok, so I can confirm the cable I got with the Dell screen is SHT!!! I can't go over 63 fps on UTO test. Using my Display Port Cable it goes 120hz without any issues. Tried everything with the stock cable. Not sure if this will be for all of the cables that comes with the screen but I mine sucks.
