Review - Dell P4317Q 4k UHD Monitor

Amazon Link - amzn.to/2ywFgbH
My review of the Dell P4317Q. I look at the "form and function" of the large format panel, it's PBP/PIP features, Spyder 5 analysis, and whether I was hit by issues plaguing early adopters. Does the P4317Q justify it's $1000 price tag?
Note: There were a few points where I got some numbers wrong in the voiceover script. This is either because I made a error when writing, or I ran multiple tests with the Sypder and was looking at different sets of results. Sorry for any confusion.

Thank you for posting this review. You answered all the questions I have about this monitor's performance. I think I am going to take a closer look at the LG 43UD79.

[@gnuPirate]

AWESOME review. Extremely thorough and informative. Thank you for producing it !

[@madisonsinclair5123]

Arriving late to the party. Terrific review. Also wanted to mention the HP z43, which appears to be very similar if not the same monitor. HDMI 2, USB C, Three hundred bucks less. Wondering if, at the end of the day, these aren't all exactly the same panels, with just different processors from different vendors. LG, Acer, HP, Dell all make monitors with suspiciously similar specs. all are priced about the same, except Dell, of course.

[@WSGF]

Thank you. Very likely. There are only so many panel manufacturers in the industry.

Thanks for the review, I almost pressed the Dell P4317Q order button, but am glad I took the time to watch your review. I need screens to sit side by side for comparative analysis diagnostics, so have been looking for a monitor that allows multiple screens open without having two to four laptops open at the same time. The LG I will review and fingers crossed will be the more affordable option. Thanks gain.

[@WSGF]

I'll be working on a more full review shortly. Trying to get some other content up at the moment, and spend more time using the screen. But I am preferring the LG over the Dell - by a long shot.

Very glad to hear that from both of you. Pulled the trigger on mine via NewEgg while I was out on vacation. Will be delivered on Monday. Let me know if there are any big pros or cons you think I should cover. Saw conflicting details on whether the LG had FreeSync. The original press releases said it did. But, the LG website doesn't mention it. Saw one comment that FreeSync was USA only. Can you confirm?

[@FONVash]

Actually looking forward to a review of that particular monitor. Its pretty niche at the moment so I'm glad someone is finally going to have a comprehensive review of it. Still hoping the LG isn't using the same panel the Phillips 43 incher was using (reported burn-ins). Subbed.

[@WSGF]

Welcome. Monitor showed up early on Saturday. Already working to set up my new MacBook Pro. Once I've got that done, I'll be diving into the LG. Hopefully in the next day or two. Will take some time with it to get final opinions. Looking forward to using the USB Type-C for video.

I got mine for $80AUD. And I plan to use it exclusively for audio production, running Cubase Pro. It's replacing a three monitor setup with a 32" curved ultrawide and 2 X 27".

Great and helpful review. Thanks for your time and effort. A question: This the LG 43 equivalent or the Viewsonic VX4380-4K? Which one would you recommend. Thanks in advance.

[@lawrencelin272]

WSGF...now that's a name i haven't heard in a few years! thank you for being the only one doing a proper review on this monitor..i already have one on the way If I want to have 2 inputs and want to create multiple 'pictures' with in one of those inputs and display everything at once...would Dell's software support that? Is it safe to assume LG's version and Dell both uses the same panel supplied from LG? Or does the addition of HDMI2 and FreeSync suggest otherwise?

[@WSGF]

Glad we could be helpful! Trying to get back into doing KZbin videos, and doing hardware reviews. With two inputs you could do a PIP setup. Within both of those inputs (assuming they are both connected to PCs) you could run the DDM software (see my other video for details on that) to arrange content as you like. If you're looking to do these arrangements with the PBP options, you could do the same with the two vertical column arrangement. If you want to use any of the other arrangements, you'd need 3/4 inputs and use AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA Surround to create horizontal rows. I believe the Dell is the same panel as the LG. I don't think there is anyone else making a 43" 4k panel with BRG sub-pixel layout. In my research, I found that both the Dell and LG used the BRG sub-pixel. The additional connections and FreeSync are implemented separately from the panel itself (via the controller, I believe).

[@hgodtx]

Great review, thanks!

[@aussiejobhunt]

Thank You so much for making this vid. I have been waiting to see a real unboxing and review for this monitor from a long time. I want to buy this for my business reasons.

[@Markus8200]

Thank you for this great review and the LG recommendation.

[@plastique45]

The LG is garbage. My 10 y old 30" Apple Cinema Display is way way sharper and has a more consistent quality to the image. The LG was soft, the edges are blurry, and if you play games on it they can be VERY choppy to the point of making some unplayable. I returned it. If the Dell is worst, forget 43' for now.

[@markocastillo3485]

Thanks for the review. Was thinking of getting this but I need that hdmi 2.0. Great vid

[@ShoresOfHelll]

Great review. Thanks. What do u think about these 40" to 43" 4k monitors vs 34" ultrawide monitors like Dell 3415, 3517 and LG UM3495C for productivity and light gaming? They seem to be priced similar.

[@WSGF]

I'm really liking the 43" 4k UHD more than the Dell U3415W (which I used for years). You've got more pixels for productivity, and with the new "multi-client" options for the multiple sources PBP, I can keep work, home and gaming machines up at the same time. I can then game either in 4k, double-wide (2x1080p) or ultra wide (using a custom res). Considering I also only lightly game (based on time), this form factor is the perfect marriage of features for me. There are some things I'd change on the LG 43 - but maybe in the next model.

[@wrobel7]

Hi, thanks for this review. Is it possible to use single DisplayPort or USB-C cable and have 4 separate PBP displays. In theory it should be possible to support, as DisplayPort allows daisy chaining, so the electronics could represent 4 displays as daisychained to one another. Unfortunately I could find no information confirming or denying it.

[@WSGF]

Thanks for the positive feedback. That won't work in this instance. The monitor is mapping the actual electrical signal from each input, and there's no way to remap that. For four screen PBP, you'd need four different input feeds.

[@wrobel7]

@@WSGF thanks, finally I found the answer :-)

[@thepuma77]

I just watched your review in December 2021. I’m picking one up second hand for about $200 from a neighbor who is moving out of the country for work. Thanks for this review even though you ultimately didn’t recommend it I feel it’s good price for a second hand 42” 4K monitor. Are their any other thoughts or concerns I should consider before I buy?

[@WSGF]

It's a good monitor. There were just a few things that tipped the scales for me on the LG. But if the HDMI version isn't a big deal, then $200 is a steal. I'd be happy to get one at that price and add it to my Dell 49" super-wide. Glad this review helped.

[@algersonvincent]

great review, especially for someone looking to use it professional setting. thanks for that.. i do have a question... would you recommend the newer version and would you know if they improved on it for the price?

Excellent review brother~

[@WSGF]

Thank you very much.

[@Delongjjj1]

Great review and to the point. Thank you for that. Much appreciated. Please let us know how the LG 43UD79 works out for you. My order has been in my Amazon cart for about 2wks now. Havent had the cojones yet to click checkout yet. I currently have the ASUS PA328Q. Its nice but definately not worth ~$1000. I could use the extra vertical real estate with the 43" but the increased horizontal screen may be an issue. Reading info on either end of the screen is a bit of an issue with my current 32" ASUS and I noticed I tend to not put text heavy docs there. I think what would be ideal is a 16:9 43" curved similar to what Phillips tried with the 40" or perhaps a 3:2 43".

[@WSGF]

I do think that a curved panel would be a good option here for productivity and gaming users. Media professionals might have issues with the curve on a screen of this size. I've heard concerns of straight lines looking curved at larger form factors. I'd hope/expect that a 2nd gen of the LG panel would be curved and have FreeSync 2.

[@SaifBukhari]

Thanks - Liked your detailed info. What are your thoughts on the newly announce Dell U4300 - Im planning to buy an ultrawide.subbed and thanks again 🙏🏻

[@WSGF]

Saif Bukhari The U4320Q looks to be a good upgrade, and honestly what the P4317Q should have been. The IPS is a nice upgrade. The USB-C input and 60Hz HDMI are a must and should have been there before. I’d miss the built-in speakers. I realize they aren’t great, but usually suffice for KZbin videos or work-related stuff. I did really like the remote on the LG monitor. Was very convenient.

[@SaifBukhari]

WSGF thank you so much for taking the time out for replying in detail, much appreciated. My purchase options here in india are kinda limited as the U series is yet to show up and I personally not had a good experience with LG with its panel issues (replaced 3 in 3 years warranty) Since the application is a workstation and casual gaming I am thinking of taking the plunge. 🙏🏻

[@Dracossaint]

Theirs a reason theirs no HDMI 2.1 monitors out ATM, because nothing has that particular output type untill really recently. hdmi 2.0 cant support the bandwidth needed for 4k 60hz or above, also display port 1.4a can, but if you want anything higher then 60hz 4k you need two display port cables.

[@WSGF]

HDMI 2.0 absolutely has the bandwidth for 4k60. That requires 12.54 Gbit/s, and HDMI 2.0 has 14.4 GBit/s of bandwidth. Refresh higher than that need two cables or HDM 2.1. Xbox One X and PS4 Pro support 4k60 over HDMI 2.0 into HDTVs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison

11:17 This monitor does NOT have FreeSync or G-Sync as stated by LG company. QUOTE^^ the #43UD79-B does not have any adaptive sync technology so if your frames go above or below the monitor's refresh rate, you will get tearing & you will get stutter if you go below its refresh rate when v-sync is on. END QUOTE^^

[@WSGF]

Switching between sources only takes a couple of seconds. You only need DDM installed if you want the extra features.

[@llothar68]

I would like to know if this is a good KVM able monitor. If i have two monitors (yes even with one of this size i need two, in fact three) the monitor must maintain the signal when switching to a different video signal port. Otherwise the operating system detects a monitor change and rearrange your windows. This sucks terrible when you work a lot. Unforunately you can't switch auto monitor detection off anymore, not on Windows, not on MacOS and at least not on Linux Ubuntu. Totally sucks this we simplify it and throw power users over board.

[@harrywijanarko1203]

WSGF if we talk about the balance function (home and small office, graphic design most for Adobe Illustrator, video & photo editing and also not a hardcore gaming) can you share the rank between P4317Q, U4919DW and U3818Dw based on your experience please (try to exclude the market price) thanks a lot before

[@WSGF]

I haven't used the U3818DW, but given it and the U4919DW are both part of the Ultrasharp line, they should have similar color performance. They are both rated at 99% sRGB and 350 nits and 1000:1 contrast. The U4919DW has 1.2M more pixels. And the double 16:9 aspect makes it more useful for PbP, and will be more immersive in gaming. The U4919DW also has more inputs, input types and USB-C. However, the 1600 vert on the U3818DW may preferable for some users re: productivity. And the 21:9 aspect is going to have better support in games. The smaller pixel count will also be easier to drive with your GPU. Both will be much better over the P4317Q. I'm not a fan of 4k gaming. I'd rather have a wider aspect than more pixels. And I personally find myself "feeling" constrained on a 16:9 aspect. With 21:9 and 32:9 you can work on a 16:9 canvas and still have room for tools and pallets. Also, I don't recommend the P4317Q. I doesn't have support for HDMI 2.0, so its 4k is limited to 30Hz over HDMI. If you want a 43" 4k I recommend the LG 43UD79. It's what I've been using, and I'm about to swap it for the U4919DW. My recommendation would be U41919DW > U3818DW > LG 43UD79 > P4317Q.

[@harrywijanarko1203]

[@K22MDL]

Thank you.

[@TheunisCilliers]

@WSGF What does it mean, when using HDMI input only with one source, when you say 60HZ (DisplayPort inputs only)

[@WSGF]

Hz is a measure of frequency. In this instance it's the refresh rate of the monitor. A 60Hz monitor can update the screen image 60 times per second. If it's 30Hz, then it can only update it 30 times per second. If a game is running at 60fps on your computer or console, but plugged into a 30Hz display, it will look slow and choppy as the monitor can't keep up with the signal. Specifically here the HDMI ports don't support 4k60Hz, so a PS4 or XB1 wouldn't display 4k at the full 60fps.

[@TheunisCilliers]

@@WSGF Thank you for taking the time to answer. So for a programmer using a single input using HDMI for screen real estate (multiple code windows and logs), I'd get the 4K but at a bit lower than 60fps? And would that be straining on the eye? I understand it might be okay, given that I don't game?

[@WSGF]

@@TheunisCilliers It would be straining on the eye, and also make mouse movements half as fast as what you are use to, and jumpy. The LG 43UD79 is cheaper than this model, has the 4k60Hz and other features. There are other displays available with 4k60 over HDMI 2.0.

[@cucabueno]

can i connect one computer to it to the DP, split the screen into 4 using the monitor builtin software (not downloading the display manager from Dell), and run two virtual machines having one VM splitting between two quarters and the other on the other two quarters? i know it's a very specific question but after watching so many reviews of this thing i still don't quite understand if i can do what i want to do with this monitor. i like the 4 input options and all but i only really need one for my work configuration (it's nice to have a 2nd input for my home desktop for when i'm not working).

[@WSGF]

No, you cannot. To split desktop from one machine, you have to run the DDM from Dell. The monitor doesn't have "built-in software". It is a hardware-based tiling "PbP" Picture by Picture. If you have two machines, you can do two horizontal strips.

[@cucabueno]

i thought that the buttons on the monitor had a menu to split the screens.

[@WSGF]

@@cucabueno That button splits the monitor between multiple physical inputs.

Thanks for your review.. Would it be possible to run the ultrawide resolution on other monitors like philips 43" or is it a Dell function . Thanks

[@WSGF]

You can do the ultra wide scaling on all panels - but some panels have better scaling than others. It comes down to the implementation by the manufacturer. I could get the Dell to scale properly in a 2D game like Pillars of Eternity, but it wouldn't scale Witcher 3 properly. It stretched the 21:9 image vertically to fill the 16:9 aspect. You might also be able to rely on your GPU. I can't remember if I was using the Radeon Fury or the NVIDIA 1080. The LG scales all 3D games properly with the NVIDIA 1080.

Those issues described by other people at 10:00 are from the poor cable quality.

[@WSGF]

Good cables make a lot of difference. I found that out the hard way a couple of years ago.

[@IevgenBaziak]

Saw people fighting the settings for days when actually it was all about the bloody cable.

You should have held out for the LG 43UD79-B. It's less expensive, weighs less, and supports HDMI 2.0.

(I wrote this response before I saw the end of your video lol)

[@WSGF]

Yeah, I had my eye on the LG, but it seemed to be ever delayed in releasing. Figured I would end up liking the LG more, due to the features. And I wanted to try both stands out for a comparison. Luckily Dell has a good return policy. ^_^

[@ianclowe4c]

Were you going to do a review on the LG43UD79 when you receive it? I have had a great experience with it so far but would like to know what others think about the monitor as well as there is not much out there as far as reviews go as this monitor is fairly new to the market.

[@WSGF]

I've done a very first impressions quick look. Looks to be much better than the Dell. You can see it here. Will be doing a full review once I've spent more time with the panel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHaxaqSHedJ5bM0

[@mariocrisanto]

you can't connect a ps4 pro 4k?? to this monitor?

[@WSGF]

Not and get 60Hz. 4k @ 60Hz requires HDMI 2.0, which this monitor does not support. You can do 1080p @ 60Hz, or 4k @30Hz. Personally I wouldn't wouldn't downgrade like that.

[@mariocrisanto]

How do you managed to put a PS4 PRO @30Hz? there is not a DP to HDMI @60K?

[@WSGF]

You don't. That's the problem...

[@MIchaelSybi]

If it has the same panel as 27" Dell P2717H, I would say stay away as its image quality isn't that great except for gaming.

do a video where you display two A4 size pdf document

[@lubomirzvolensky3630]

Doug, two pages are just waste for such monitor. I regularly work with EIGHT Word / PDF pages displayed ABSOLUTELY COMFORTABLY on 39.5" screen. There is no single doubt they will fit EASILY on 43" monitors - well, just take the size of A4 format, compare to screen size of 43" :) check these imageshost.eu/images/2017/12/20/IMG_20171220_084237.jpg (once again, this is "just" 39.5" Seiki) and imageshost.eu/images/2017/12/20/IMG_20170523_142906.jpg To illustrate, 25" 2560x1440 is somehow small for my eyes and I would definitely NOT want to work with text size like that all day ; but those eight pages on 40" monitor are easy all-day-long. Cheers !

[@nelsondelrosario.6488]

Nice i want

[@TeeKayDodo]

What is this game starting at 3:40?

[@WSGF]

Guild Wars 2

[@TeeKayDodo]

Thanks, game looks awesome as your vids! ;) As for now, I'd only consider 16:9 for TV or console gaming. But for PC - it's hard to switch back from 21:9.

[@WSGF]

And with the custom resolutions, I can play in 38" 21:9 @ 3840x1600. And I still get the 4k and PBP for productivity and multi-client productivity. While the Dell wasn't a good value. I really like the LG 43UD79 I've just gotten. In my mind it's the best of both worlds (21:9 & multi-mon).

[@TeeKayDodo]

The custom resolution looks still enjoyable with the GW2 example. But I'd rather maxed out the 4K resolution if I'd have a 4K monitor because I wouldn't stand the black bars (especially with movies) which was one of the main reasons why I came in touch with UW-Monitors. If it has to be all in one, the best of both worlds in my opinion would be the 3x1 setup you showed with the Flexispot sit-stand-desk (I prefer sit only =), where you have both 16:9 and 21:9 in its native format. For me, a triple-mon setup with a UW in the middle would be enough for productivity and PC-Gaming. And for the couch, a really big (55+") 4K-TV. Indeed, the LG seems to offer more for a lesser price. Personally, I started with an LG 29" UW-/FHD-monitor and wanted to switch to a bigger Dell 27" 1440p-/16:9 but it was so underwhelming that I had to switch to a LG 34" UWQHD, which is my main display now. ^_^

[@WSGF]

Not going to "fault" or disagree with you on your preferences. This is the joy of the PC - we can all do what we want, and customize to our liking. I did triple-wide for a long time, and then tried the 29" ultra wide. It was cool, but I still saw value in multi-non vs. 29" ultra wide. But, when I went to 34" ultra wide this was the "holy grail". If I had one machine, and/or mostly gamed - I'd probably be on a 34" ultra wide, or more probably a 38" ultra wide. But, seeing as how most of my time is spent in "productivity" mode, and I constantly split time between my personal MacBook Pro (email, chat, video editing, productivity, etc.) my day-job PC, and my gaming PC - the multi-client aspect of the large format 4k PBP works best for my "daily driving". For gaming, I prefer the ultra wide aspect over the 4k res. I don't think the black bars will be an issue for me. Bezels in multi-monitor seemed to disappear for me over time. And I expect the black bars to do the same. But again. Because we are PC gaming we can each choose the setup we prefer, and use that.

Switch off your power line. Save standy by power. 10:33

[@HermanWillems]

You do understand that modern good quality stand-by modes really use sooooo little current. It's became a non issue.
