Dell S3422DWG 34" Ultrawide Gaming Monitor Review

[@braydonbudde221]

Just bought one too, he is spot on about the super fast setting. Ghosting on other settings looks terrible, but on super fast its really great. It's an absolute beast of a monitor. For the price, I'd def recommend it to anyone.

[@maniac3173]

Please mention something about watching movies on this thing. Netflix, blurays etc. Aspect ratio issues? colour? I currently use a 32" Samsung Tv as my screen thats 1080p. I've been itching to get a new screen for some years now only I just don't know if the colours will be anywhere near as good as my current screen. Thanks!

[@MrMonoWheel]

Im between this and the Acer Nitro XZ342CK, but it really seems the Dell is more reliable and better all around.

[@RallyRanchMotorsport]

So no ghosting on the super fast settings??

[@arctr00perecho]

@@maniac3173here are definitely some issues when watching movies/tv shows on this monitor. From what I read it’s a mix of the ghosting problems in relation to the way VA panels work. Add the fact that 21:9 is not a common aspect ratio in the film industry, so usually you’ll get a 1080p image that is in a sense stretched to fit the monitor’s aspect ratio. If I recall correctly for every one pixel in 1080p its the equivalent to 4 pixels in 2k. So images in movies/tv shows can look sub par and pixelated. Animated stuff looks create but live action can be rough at times. Thankfully more and more movies/tv shows are being providing with greater viewing formats allowing for increased compatibility. There is also a 21:9 extension for browsers to better fit video content on screen. Also I found some browsers have a hard time with 2k movies/tv shows, confirmed with several forums on Reddit. Chrome was bad but surprisingly Edge worked great. Overall the best option was using the dedicated apps for streaming services directly. I will add KZbin has no issues in watching content. Only problem it had was with the new gradient feature YT added last Fall. Personally didn’t like it anyways so just turned it off. The gradient was super pixelated/choppy. I’ve had this Dell monitor since May 2022 and did a lot of digging to understand the flaws of this monitor. I even talked to Dell support and had them ship me a replacement so I could double check I wasn’t going crazy lol. Both monitors expressed identical issues. I ended up keeping the original I purchased and sent back the replacement. Overall I love the monitor for gaming, doing work and watching content. The flaws made me upset at first but after learning a ton on what was the cause and that the monitor performed as it was designed to do, put me at ease. It taught me to do more research on products, especially when it comes to technology before buying. Like the saying goes, “measure twice cut once.” Granted the reality of this world, shows us flaws and missed details will always occur but things can be done to minimize them. Hope this helps!

[@WilliamChoochootrain]

@@xboxgamerz22 really depends on how sensitive you are to some slight ghosting, and whether you value a higher contrast ratio or accurate colours more.

[@yodaaki3652]

@@WilliamChoochootrain for my tastes, is dificult now i have an oled tv & an LG 27GP850-B it's a 27"/1440p/180hz/ nano ips The problem that i have with the nano ips is the contrast ratio, i'm a lot in dark room and having so bad contrast (750/1...) is really not good, if i look to my tv it's just awfull to see that on a "top tier 27" gaming monitor"... So i look to 21/9 for more immersion but with VA or oled, and alienware with oled is really pricey, i paid my oled tv for less than a pc monitor and the tv is in 4k/120 with G-sync ultimate... but i don't play pc in my living room haha So i think a good VA is the better choice, i really don't like smearing and ghosting but... i don't really have a lot of choice, only oled is the best but really too pricey for such a little screen :x

Great review. In fact this review made up my mind to buy this monitor. I’ve been agonizing for over a week about which widescreen monitor to get to replace my old Dell 2715 which still works perfectly but isn’t the best for all the spreadsheet and PowerPoint work I’m doing from home. I also needed a monitor suitable for the modest amount of gaming I do. This review covered all the points that concerned me and gave me a real life overview of the panel. Great presentation style, clear and concise information, easy to digest tech talk and completely relatable to a consumer like me. As soon as I finished watching the video I jumped onto Dell’s website and took advantage of their Black Friday special deal for the monitor. Thanks for helping me to plough through all the indecision 👍🏼

I'm in the exact same boat Sean; spent more time than I'd like researching. I'll have mine this Sunday to replace my Dell 2715Q. How do you like this monitor do far?

[@seanocarroll1966]

@@ChadStovern Hey Chad, I must admit it took me about a week to get used to the new monitor. The color reproduction was quite different to my old 2715 and that difference is obviously most apparent when you first switch to a new monitor. After about a week I pretty much forgot what the old 2715 looked like and my brain fully accepted the new monitor colors as normal. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t look bad, it’s just different. I did take some time to tweak the settings of the new monitor to get it looking more like the old 2715. The benefits I get from the widescreen format far outweigh any color differences there are. I’m not a photographer or graphic artist so strict color accuracy is not critical to me or my work. The screen real estate is proving incredibly useful. I’m very happy with the monitor.

[@ChadStovern]

@@seanocarroll1966 Awesome! I'm actually responding from my very own S3422DWG right now. I'm liking it so far. I think the biggest thing for me is getting used to how text is displayed.

Seems like the price has gone up now to AU $686.25.

[@shotokankjs]

@@k-c yeah. One note is I had to upgrade to a 3070 to get a good gaming experience. Due to the 1440 aspect, this is not a 1080 monitor and trying to use it at 1080 just seems distorted so you have to play every game at 1440. So you're about to spend 1.2k for gpu and 600+ for monitor. 🤯

I've had a Dell S2719DGF for 3 years now. It's 27", 1440p, 165 Hz, 1 ms. I've had such a good experience with it, that I also ordered this monitor, the Dell S3422DWG. The only downside is the 144 Hz. That's a 13% decrease. But the ultrawide real estate should help in both programming and gaming.

Hey! Sorry for the lateness… I currently use the S2721DGF, and I’m wondering if i will notice the ghosting and the black-smearing too much even in super-fast. So how’s your experience with it? Do you feel it to the point of wanting to switch back to 16:9 IPS?

I really appreciate you doing an in-depth review for this impressive monitor. I've been watching it for months as reviews come out. I'm uncertain because the S2721DGF is on a deep sale. I currently own the S2417DG, and one of the biggest downsides is that movies and shows are almost unwatchable due to the contrast and color banding in dark scenes. I definitely want at least 1440p/144hz and G-Sync. S2721DGF has 1.07 billion colors, S3422DWG has 16.7 million. I'm trying to stay under $500 and I'm torn between the S2721DGF and this beauty. I can probably sell my S2417DG for a decent amount to offset costs, but it's a tough decision. I'm split evenly between gaming (AAA titles like RDR2, Dark Souls, AC games), productivity (Excel, Word, having many windows open), and streaming shows + movies. It's a hard decision and I can't choose.

[@TypeCTechReviews]

Personally I would go for this over the S2721DGF if you can push the frames with the added resolution!

[@billb0313]

I have the 2721dgf and it's an incredible monitor. I got it on sale a while ago for $329. Too good of a deal to pass up. However....I miss my ultra wide monitor. I'm thinking about picking this up now. Just depends how much you want an ultra wide. I will say that 16:9 27 inch 1440p is the sweet spot for clarity and frame rate. The PPI on the 2721 is great and the IPS panel produces crystal clear images. Good luck!

I have tested 4 different laptops from Dell 7400 and 7390 to Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th GEN to APPLE 2018 Macbook pro and 4 HDMI cables. Same result. If you want 1 input from your pc with Display port yes it's great value for money. If you need multiple inputs better look somewhere else. Dell is not responding currently to this issue. All it says is to update drivers. I even uninstalled drivers from 4 laptops and a GForce 1060 6Gb and nothing.

I tested Doom 2016 on Windows with Vulkan, nearly ultra settings and a res of 3440x1440. Pretty steady 60fps. I also tested Dishonored on Manjaro with Proton and Vulkan (I believe). Max settings. Also very smooth. Desktop was of course performing and looking fine, running a few streams, browsers and what not. Granted, the games are not the most demanding but I was nevertheless amazed by the picture quality and the added immersiveness, which immediately made me want to play them again. No visible smearing, ghosting, lagging or backlight bleeding. Plus astonishing blackness levels. Sadly I've to return it, as I spotted more than 10 dead pixels. Never had that much with a display and I wonder if it has something to do with the added strain of the curvature or I just had bad luck in the display lottery. I'm unsure if I shouldn't maybe look for a flat-panel again.

You saved me making a bad purchase. I was going to go with an off-brand and save 30 bucks but you showed this is worth the extra

Hello Type-C Tech!! Greetings from Brazil! Thanks for your awesome reviews! I really appreciate your job!! Guys, I have a question: here in Brazil we do not have so many different monitors, some nice monitors do not come to Brazil. I am looking for a QHD gaming monitor, and the prices of Dell S3422DWG and Alienware AW2724DM are very similar, but the black smearing and ghosting of VA panel worry me as well as the local dimming and black looking gray in the Alienware IPS panel. So, what would you recommend to me knowing that I am a casual gamer and I use the computer for gaming 80% of time, but I also use the monitor for home studying and media consumption? Thank your attention guys and sorry for any Ensligh mistakes :D

[@IndraArfiande]

Awesome review! One question though, would you recommend this monitor for FCP and Lightroom though?

[@HappyHubris]

Did you test MPRT at all? This is the killer feature for me.

[@its_dazzle]

Hello!! Is the ghosting/black smearing looking better or worse on this 34 inch than on the Dell S2722DGM model?

[@LucasCanellas]

Coming back here just to say I BOUGHT THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEO - and I mean that in a good way 😂😂 Thanks for your content, really helpful and informative.

[@floydthebarber71]

Great review....loads of thumbs up going on haha. Very neat monitor, I was considering this with a second hand Alienware AW3418 or even 3420 which can creep down in price towards this. Tricky

Great review! One question though. The blue light under the Dell-logo. Can you turn that off?

[@ASenseofTri]

Great review man! Does this monitor have a speaker?

Thanks dude, good review.

I feel like I should have bought a second one. I didn't see the ghosting you showed in the in game samples. Great video. I know some monitor mounts have issues with the 100 vesa mount, hows this one? okay? or need modifying?

[@Wooten_85]

I got mine on a vesa wall mount since the day I pulled it from the box and it's great. Just due to the recess in the back of the monitor your mounting plate needs to be 100x100. if its oversized then you'll have some issues.

[@darnielng]

Hi Type-C, does this monitor support standard vesa mount on desk monitor arm without purchasing 3rd party accessories?

[@KINGhotaru11]

Want this soo bad, I've been using 1080p for 10 or so years now 😫

@@awkwarddom7147 I got it for 400€ new. Im very happy with it and didnt regret it the quality is very nice the refreshrate as well and i like the design very much. It looks a bit more massive than the mate view gt. I can recommend the S3422DWG

Nice review 👌

What is that small screen right under your monitor? :D I'm looking for something similar

That's an Amazon Echo Show 5 :)

[@jankowja]

I am looking for a good ultra-wide curved monitor for around $300-350 - for working remotely. I was considering the Dell 34 Curved Gaming Monitor - S3422DWG, which Type-C Tech reviews rated it very well. But Is this overkill for a work from home monitor where I mainly do word, excel, outlook, SQL programming and Tableau dashboard development (no video dev or gaming). I'd appreciate any recommendations!

[@Chrosser1988]

Are the games playable without flickering issues, if you currently have an older GPU? Under the 60fps there are known flickering issues. Or is this only if you use G-sync / Freesync? Have an GTX1060 6GB. With these GPU prices i want to keep it for a while until sometimes de prices drop.
