This means Dell will quickly send a replacement monitor if a problem cannot be diagnosed through phone support. Although the misplaced USB ports hurt here, the image quality, the omission of plus width modulation for brightness control, the good viewing angles and the large screen, which makes multitasking a joy, speak in favor of the Dell U3415W. Dell's UltraSharp monitors have always maintained a pleasing aesthetic, but the U3415W takes it to another level with a slick, (mostly) bezel-free design that makes the gigantic 34-inch panel look even larger than it already is. When you change to a lower resolution, the image area gets smaller than the prime mode image of 3440x1440.It may not be enough to notice but it totally distorts the screen and nothing you view on it will be shot in such a way. Unlike LG’s 34UC97, which only adjusts for tilt and requires a special bracket (available only upon request) for use with VESA stands, the Dell has a solid VESA stand included.

The Nvidia GTX 980 is an excellent choice for gaming on Dell’s ultra-wide monitor, as it can handle most titles at its extreme 3,440 x 1,440 resolution. I’ve been working with computers for ages, starting with a multi-year stint in purchasing for a major IBM reseller in New York City before eventually landing at PCMag (back when it was still in print as PC Magazine).It is rather more complicated to change for example, the "Response Time" from "Normal" to "Fast" or switch between the predefined color modes. With 3440x1440 pixels, it offers the same 109ppi density and the same screen height as our favorite 27-inch QHD form factor, plus the added width. The “U” in its name stands for UltraSharp, which means this monitor is intended for professionals who demand highly accurate colors, strong contrast and solid ergonomics. In a further color assessment at a 45° horizontal viewing angle, the brightness of white decreased to 250 cd/m 2while the black value increased.
