About this deal

The stand included offers tilt and height adjustments so getting a comfortable viewing angle with it. adding swivel adjustments would have been great for multi-monitor setups, but pivoting isn’t as necessary since ultrawides were not meant for portrait use. You can use VESA mounts if you need more flexibility, but it is an unwarranted cost for typical setups. As for connectivity, the Dell has one upstream USB-C port that supports DisplayPort over USB Alternate Mode as well as up to 65 watts of USB power delivery, meaning it can power or charge an attached laptop. You'll also find an upstream USB 3.2 Type-B port and two downstream USB 3.2 Type-A ports, one of which can supply up to 10 watts for charging a handheld device. A pair of HDMI ports plus the primary USB-C port let you connect the monitor to up to three input sources, switching among them using a single keyboard and mouse, a configuration that Dell calls a virtual KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch.

The DWG seems to be better in most aspects. However, the DWC has USB-C upstream/DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode with power delivery up to 65W. And it also has an in-built KVM function. Use a USB-extender cable to position the wireless USB receiver as far away as possible from the USB 3.2 port.

Estimated valueis Dell’s estimate of product value based on industry data, including the prices at which third-party retailers have offered or valued the same or comparable products, in its most recent survey of major online and/or off-line retailers. Third-party retailer data may not be based on actual sales. Make sure that the video cable connecting the monitor to the computer is connected properly and is secure.Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro. On the home-office side, the HP E27m G4 QHD USB-C Conferencing Monitor doesn't have as wide a screen, but it boasts an even larger set of ports, including Ethernet, DisplayPort-in and DisplayPort-out for daisy-chaining multiple monitors, and a hub of four USB-A ports for connecting peripherals. Its stand offers greater height adjustment and adds swivel and pivot options. Along with stereo speakers, the E27m G4's teleconferencing features include a 5-megapixel webcam and dual microphones. Some combinations of USB Type-C to HDMI dongle and video or graphics card (GPU) are not compatible to support the YCbCr color format. Wireless USB peripherals responding slowly or only working as the distance between itself and its receiver decreases. This is normal behavior of the monitor. Dell consumer monitors are inspected at 150-lux ambient lighting (similar to typical office lighting). Dell UltraSharp and Gaming monitors are inspected with a tighter criteria of 70-lux ambient lighting (dimly lit room but not dark).

Pixel response time is the biggest weakness of a VA monitor even if it has an extended refresh rate. The Dell S3423DWC isn’t exempted, so you have to use its overdrive accordingly to reduce persistence and smudges in fast-paced scenes. We recommend using the Fast setting since it offers the best balance between removing trails and adding overshoot. However, the Dell S3423DWC is quite expensive if you buy it now at full price in a niche that has considerably matured. USB-C ultrawides like the Gigabyte M34WQ can be had right now so you have to catch this monitor at a discount.

However, I am also drawn to the better screen of the DWG. Although I’m not too sure how big a difference 100hz vs 144hz is. The Dell S3423DWC’s panel uniformity isn’t great since there were some light leaks on the top and bottom edges of the screen. They resulted in clouding issues that become visible while the display is showing dark scenes. This is common with curved displays but it’s not a permanent issue so there are better units out there. Dim or discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part.

I tested the Dell S3423DWC's luminance (brightness per unit area), contrast ratio, and color accuracy using our standard test gear: a Klein Instruments K-10A colorimeter, a Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays' CalMAN 5 calibration software. IDC Whitepaper: “Optimizing Performance with Frequent Server Replacements for Enterprises” commissioned by Dell Technologies and Intel, March 2021. Results are based on interviews with 18 IT practitioners and decision makers at midsize and large enterprises and a web survey of 707 IT practitioners and decision makers at midsize and larger enterprises using Dell Technologies server solutions across 7 industries. See full whitepaper: https://www.delltechnologies.com/resources/en-us/asset/white-papers/products/servers/server-infrastructure-resiliency-enterprise-whitepaper.pdf I want to switch between my PC and also the 2021 Macbook Pro that I’ll be getting soon which has the 120hz Pro Motion that I want to use on the monitor. I was thinking the USB C port would be useful as I can then plug the DP into my desktop and the USB C to my macbook.One of the highlights of the Dell S3423DWC is its connectivity layout which includes DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 slots, and a 65-watt USB-C port with DP Alt Mode. It also has four USB 3.1 slots for your peripherals which are reserved for your mouse and keyboard. Setting it up this way allows you to utilize the monitor’s KVM functionality with multiple PCs so you don’t have to plug and unplug cables. Its build quality is great even if it uses plenty of plastics compared to other business ultrawides from the brand. There were no cosmetic defects when it was unboxed and it looks like every piece was molded precisely. The stand is stable and firm, but the screen can slightly wobble if you accidentally nudge it. On certain video and applications with fast moving images, imaging ghosting, which appears as a trailing shadow, may occur. Due to legacy platform cannot recognize or output 5120 x 1440, we suggest changing EDID to lower resolution to cover this compatibility problem. If you want to focus on gaming, either of two PCMag Editors' Choice winners, the Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2721D) or the ViewSonic Elite XG270QG, would fit the bill. Well-to-do gamers might want to spring for the Samsung Odyssey G9 with its amazing super-wide (32:9 aspect ratio) 49-inch screen.
