Dell U3417W 34" Ultrawide Curved IPS 21:9 Monitor 3440x1440, HDMI, DisplayPort (Renewed)

Product Information

The USBs can all be used to charge devices. As for the USB-C, it features a power-delivery rating of up to 90 watts, and thus can perform high-speed charging of, say, a laptop (while, as mentioned, also allowing data transfer over the cable). In contrast, the Asus PA34VC has fewer USB 3.0 ports, but it adds a second USB-C port. Dell doesn't give a figure for the U3419W's degree of curvature, but it provides an immersive, ultra-wide viewing experience, coupled with the wide viewing angles (178 degrees, both vertical and horizontal) typical of IPS displays. Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mount Though the Dell U3417W is an incredibly unique-looking display, the design is pretty much in line with other UltraSharp products–Dell’s premium line of monitors ( Dell UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5K UP2715K). This is certainly welcomed as the UltraSharp line offers premium, non-bulky builds. The U3417W is no exception here; it’s a beautiful-looking monitor that sports a nice, smooth surface, making the most of its physical footprint.

Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. The U3417W provides excellent color accuracy out of the box. On the chromaticity chart below, the colored dots represent our color measurements results as measured with a colorimeter, and the boxes represent the ideal color coordinates as defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). As you can see, red, green, and blue colors are perfectly aligned with their corresponding boxes. Moreover, colors appeared uniform and evenly saturated in the DisplayMate Color Purity and Uniformity tests and while displaying scenes from Marvel's Captain America: Civil War on Blu-ray.The wingspan of this display is just over 32 inches with a slightly higher diagonally viewable size of 34.14 inches.

Information about the average amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. The biggest upgrade to this year's Dell-branded S-series displays is the elevated aesthetics, giving it a look that's just as clean and almost as premium as Dell's upgraded Alienware monitors. With minimal bezels on the top and side edges and a new Platinum Silver color, the S-series looks more modern and minimalist. Creatives will appreciate the wide color support of these panels -- all three panels support 99% of the sRGB color space alongside AMD FreeSync technology. As an in-plane switching (IPS) monitor, the U3419W counts color accuracy as one of its fortes. According to Dell, this panel is factory-calibrated to cover 99 percent of the sRGB color spectrum, and it even outdid this in my testing, covering a full 100 percent. Below is a color-fidelity or chromaticity chart for the U3419W, which was generated in standard mode using a Klein K10-A colorimeter and SpectraCal CalMAN 5 software. The area within the triangle represents the sRGB color spectrum, and my data points (the circles) are evenly spaced to encompass the entire sRGB gamut. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test.The U3419W's luminance (that is, its brightness per unit area) is rated at 300 candelas per meter squared (nits); I tested it at a healthy 332 nits. I measured the contrast ratio at 1,142:1, slightly better than its 1,000:1 rating.
