Great review! I got the monitor a few months back, and I am really happy with my purchase. Just a heads up, mine does work with G-sync enabled.

[@RobsCorner]

Amazing thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the review

[@jamesbooth2904]

Good Stuff! I too have gotten one recently and loving it, Quick question to you @PicoDK... does your monitor flicker in certain applications or games?

[@korn2040]

@@jamesbooth2904 if you have gsync on and go under 60fps then the monitor will flicker

[@jamesbooth2904]

@korn2040 yeah its an unfortunate quirk of the monitor it seems😐

[@korn2040]

@@jamesbooth2904 it is it sucks because games like ow2 have there menu run at 60fps so you see so much flickering and then when the game starts and runs at 144 it stops flickering

I got my first ultrawide about two years ago, it is awesome since I can have multiple things opened at the same time. But when I played on this monitor, it was wonderful, so I went ahead and bought another hahaha, I got this Dell because it has 144 hz and was on sale on Dell.

[@RobsCorner]

Yup exactly why I recommended it to my friend, for the price it was on sale at it was a great deal with really good features!

Couldn't agree more, when it comes to productivity ultrawide has been amazing. I still have a 27 inch as well for fps games and streaming since it's easier to stream at 16:9.

i just ordered this monitor today for about 350 canadian including shipping! I main an Alienware ultrawide oled but have been getting nervous about using it as a daily, so this fits the bill perfectly for my daily and basic content consumption! Also same curvature which is nice, every other ultrawide I looked seemed to have a 1500R curve which I feel would look odd being right next to mine! Cant wait to get it

[@RobsCorner]

Only a few more to go and you can create a full 360 surround ultrawide setup

[@DelScully]

@@RobsCorner LOL I was almost considering getting 2 to put on each side of the OLED, but I convinced myself I dont need it, at least for now..

[@JaronPalone]

@@DelScullyhow is it

[@DelScully]

@@JaronPalone i really like it, i honestly use it 3/4 time when using my computer and my oled just sits there lol. Dont get me wrong the oled is great for rpg games and movies, but not having to worry about burn in on static content or games that have huds all the time is nice. The colours are obviously not nearly as good, but once calibrated they are more than passable and the ghosting and smearing are very minimal for a VA panel.. I've yet to be thrown out of immersive game play by noticing it.

I actually ordered this monitor today. Planning on using it for sim racing (upgrading from 27"). Debated a VR headset but that still has too many caveats for comfortable sim racing. Triple monitor is just not gonna fit so this felt like a good compromise without breaking the bank.

[@RobsCorner]

I would love to test one out but it's hard to compare since they are 2 completely different screens. The lg is more productivity focused and space saving vs the ultrawide. Also if you play games I think the ultrawide is the easy winner

Gsync is available over dp

[@Adam-ps4nq]

It seems like there's some confusion. Nvidia GPUs are able to take advantage of free-sync and just because the monitor is not G-sync certified doesn't mean it won't work. Anyone will be able to take advantage of both free-sync premium pro and g-sync, no matter what graphics card you have

Hello, great review I will be running a Nvidia 3070 card and bit concerned about the gsync compatibility with it. Just seems like a great price at the moment from the UK dell store, feel like it's worth the risk when factoring the price and it being an all rounder! Any other screens you would recommend for my graphics card? Doesn't have to be an ultrawide and around the £300-£400 budget.

[@RobsCorner]

Hi Lewis,.great question if you are really concerned about gsync issue and are looking at other monitors I use a s2721dgf for FPS games it's 1440p 165hz and gsync compatible no issues with it. That being said ultrawdie is very nice to have and depending on what games you play and what fps you are getting if gsync compatibility is more important.

[@ogi-wankenobi3638]

Nobody will tell you this. Gsync works perfectly if you have 60fps + . If you have less you will have problems

I haven't tested both to say which is better looking image but the 34gn is a ultrawide ips panel and the g7 is 16:9 VA panel, the g7 is 240hz the lg is 144. If your goal is AAA gaming and not competitive I would say the ultrawide is a better experience.

Is this better than the Samsung G5 34” for gaming?

[@RobsCorner]

There extremely similar, samsung has slightly betterax refresh rate at 165hz but vs 144hz on the dell it's not a big difference. The g5 is more curved than the dell so it's a preference thing. Price will play a big factor since they are almost the same specs. I haven't tested the g5 but from my research if price is the same I would take the Dell for the simple reason that you have better features like PIP , usb hub built in but for me the fact that the G5 has an external power brick is a deal breaker.

[@JamieReynolds89]

@@RobsCorner I’ve had the Samsung G5 34” and was really happy with it but accidentally broke it so I decided to go with something different this time and the Dell is rated better for gaming on Rtings and reviews says it’s decent too so decided to buy one. It comes Tuesday. If it is as good as the Samsung I’ll be happy and if it’s better then that’s even better. I did like the 1000 curve though so might feel a bit weird going to such a subtle curve after using such an aggressive one for so long lol. But as long as it’s just as good for gaming that’s the main thing. And people really decide not to buy Samsung cos of an external power block? It’s not even that big, kinda crazy to not buy a monitor because of that imo but everyone has their own preferences I guess lol. Thanks for the response.

Good for the price point but stating that the monitor does it all isn't really correct. It's only got a brightness of 400 nits, a contrast of 3000/1, a lackluster VA panel with 8bit which means HDR is faked. Black levels are decent at best.... I will admit that for 500 CDN, it's a good deal currently but with QD-OLED monitors coming out this year and bound to get cheaper over time, I suggest people wait.

[@RobsCorner]

True there are new technologies that will come out this year but that will also drive down the price of older models, this monitor does have its concessions but for the price the monitor does have enough features for my point that it does it all... doesn't do it all at the very best but it is loaded with features that monitors that cost way more don't offer.

"only 400 nits" are you insane???

[@chris_b44]

comparing a $500 monitor with a QD-OLED that are going to start at minimum double the price is wild. For $500 it does everything you would want for $500. If you’re implying to wait for 2022-2023 technology to match todays pricing as if it will take a year or two, you’re delusional

Im from the future, date is 31.01.2024. QD-OLEDs cost 2-2,5 times more than this Dell 😢

[@RobsCorner]

10%OFFMONITOR usually works for dell monitors I used it recently for my oled one but maybe it's by region or they turned it off for now but I used it when I bought that monitor last year

Lol gaming n working lol 😂

G-SYNC IS NOT WORKING!!! I just got this monitor and not only does it flicker, the image is choppy and stuttering! Stay away NVIDIA GPUS owners!!! Second day return. My GPU is RTX 3070.

[@RobsCorner]

Might be a faulty unit, I would return it too if your having multiple issues. I know this might seem like a silly question is the monitor plugged directly into your rtx 3070 or is it plugged into your.motherboard ?

[@Laup2ten]

@@RobsCorner I don’t think it’s faulty. You can activate the FPS setting on the screen and you’ll see it changes the refresh rate based on the FPS of the game, but it still tears and stutters as if no sync option was enabled. Tried this without v-sync enabled and my FPS was 100 to 140 constant. It’s connected to my GPU. Also have the 34gn850 and it’s night and day clear that the Dell screen has nothing to do with g-sync.

[@RobsCorner]

@@Laup2ten I didn't have that issue, I only had the monitor with me for a short time since it was loaned to me by my friend but it didn't have any noticeable tearing, just double check everything is properly setup (screen refresh rate is set to 144hz in nvidea control panel, Gsync is enable, Vsync off...)

[@ogi-wankenobi3638]

this Dell S34 or IPS Gigabyte M34WQ ?

[@RobsCorner]

For gaming i would go for the ips I haven't tested gigabyte monitors though so I can't say anything about build quality or warranty
