I got my first ultrawide about two years ago, it is awesome since I can have multiple things opened at the same time. But when I played on this monitor, it was wonderful, so I went ahead and bought another hahaha, I got this Dell because it has 144 hz and was on sale on Dell.
@@jamesbooth2904 it is it sucks because games like ow2 have there menu run at 60fps so you see so much flickering and then when the game starts and runs at 144 it stops flickering
Just ordered this for under $500 CAD. Seems like too good a deal to pass. I’m sidegrading from a LG UltraGear 27”, but ultrawide will be a game changer for productivity
Couldn't agree more, when it comes to productivity ultrawide has been amazing. I still have a 27 inch as well for fps games and streaming since it's easier to stream at 16:9.
@@defaultHandle1110 depends on your use case I borrowed the screen from a friend to review it and I really enjoyed it and he still uses it daily and loves it. It's not the best screen out there but for the price it does a lot of things really well
Man, wish I git it for under 500$ CAD. I just bought it for 510$ with the recent 20% off coupon. US gets their stuff WAY cheaper than people outside of there.
@Jedi-knight_survivor yes its a monitor it will display wtv program your computer is running. You will have no problem gaming on this if your computer has a 4090
i just ordered this monitor today for about 350 canadian including shipping! I main an Alienware ultrawide oled but have been getting nervous about using it as a daily, so this fits the bill perfectly for my daily and basic content consumption! Also same curvature which is nice, every other ultrawide I looked seemed to have a 1500R curve which I feel would look odd being right next to mine! Cant wait to get it
@@JaronPalone i really like it, i honestly use it 3/4 time when using my computer and my oled just sits there lol. Dont get me wrong the oled is great for rpg games and movies, but not having to worry about burn in on static content or games that have huds all the time is nice. The colours are obviously not nearly as good, but once calibrated they are more than passable and the ghosting and smearing are very minimal for a VA panel.. I've yet to be thrown out of immersive game play by noticing it.
Hi Rob, 😄 Question for you. Can these be used as all-in-one or do they need to be connected to a laptop? I am used to Mac desktops so I’m not familiar. Thanks for your help!! 🙏🏽
This is just a monitor, you would need something to connect to it. It could be a laptop, desktop , console. It is not an all in one there is no motherboard, cpu or any other components built it.
It seems like there's some confusion. Nvidia GPUs are able to take advantage of free-sync and just because the monitor is not G-sync certified doesn't mean it won't work. Anyone will be able to take advantage of both free-sync premium pro and g-sync, no matter what graphics card you have
Great and clear vid, thank you. Curious how you’d compare it to the LG 28MQ780-B 28 Inch (2560 x 2880)?? Esp with PBP (horizontal PBP vs vertical PBP). Cheers.
I would love to test one out but it's hard to compare since they are 2 completely different screens. The lg is more productivity focused and space saving vs the ultrawide. Also if you play games I think the ultrawide is the easy winner
I actually ordered this monitor today. Planning on using it for sim racing (upgrading from 27"). Debated a VR headset but that still has too many caveats for comfortable sim racing. Triple monitor is just not gonna fit so this felt like a good compromise without breaking the bank.
I've got a VR headset and can say sim racing in it is great fun! However I'm still looking to get this monitor as the hassle of connecting the headset to PC, getting it all setup each time is just a bit too much for what its worth. Great fun every now and then but still prefer a monitor for racing.
@@BeanieBiker interesting I was thinking of getting a VR headset to test out not just for racing but a variety of games. Not sure the experience is worth It though.
Hello, great review I will be running a Nvidia 3070 card and bit concerned about the gsync compatibility with it. Just seems like a great price at the moment from the UK dell store, feel like it's worth the risk when factoring the price and it being an all rounder! Any other screens you would recommend for my graphics card? Doesn't have to be an ultrawide and around the £300-£400 budget.
Hi Lewis,.great question if you are really concerned about gsync issue and are looking at other monitors I use a s2721dgf for FPS games it's 1440p 165hz and gsync compatible no issues with it. That being said ultrawdie is very nice to have and depending on what games you play and what fps you are getting if gsync compatibility is more important.
Ill recieve this one tomorrow and next week the curved 27 inch ips... Really hope the color difference is not too big for it to be annoying in a dual monitor setup after hearing the ips va difference just now haha daymn
I think you'll be fine I have am oled monitor in the middle and an ips on each side of it. The color difference is very big but it doesn't bother me so I think you'll be ok
LOL i'm not gonna say you SHOULD game while on a work zoom call...just saying you CAN - tell it how it is lol! not being very techy myself, i found this really helpful thank you. I plan to use mine for work, tv and gaming (not at the same time, or will i lol) so explaining PIP from different sources was very helpful to me. good job thank you
Thank you! We ordered 2 of these monitors at the same time and both came with no issues. I haven't had to deal with Dell returns but I have read that if there are any issues they get covered pretty well.
Just want to make sure I understand your question... yes Netflix can be watched with this monitor if you watch a TV series you will have black bars since they are 16:9 but movies should be full screen
34GN850-B and the Samsung G7 32 inch, whitch one has better looking image? I wanna get a good monitor just for AAA gaming, don't care about competitive or FPS games, I'm more into RPG's and thing like that.
I haven't tested both to say which is better looking image but the 34gn is a ultrawide ips panel and the g7 is 16:9 VA panel, the g7 is 240hz the lg is 144. If your goal is AAA gaming and not competitive I would say the ultrawide is a better experience.
I also bought it but I don't know how to calibrate it. It doesn't look great on me. What settings do you have it on? Do you use hdr from windows and hdr from its settings? please help me. I used the Backlight Bleed test and it has a little in the corners. And does yours have it?
I don't have the monitor anymore it was borrowed from a friend I used the settings from ratings.com website. I tested through the pc it should turn it on but u can make sure it's on through the monitor. For backlight bleed I didn't notice much since it's a VA panel but if it's not bothering you and it's just a bit in the corners I don't think it's a big deal unless it really bothers you in game or movies.
It's a great monitor and offers a bit of everything, currently on sale for black Friday too $350 usd which is a great price for all the features . Even in 2023 it's a solid purchase for the pice
I want to get but have GeForce RTX 3080 10GB SO was wondering can I still use the amd free on my card ? >> Does Geforce work with FreeSync? Previously, Nvidia's support was limited to its own G-Sync displays, while AMD supported the open FreeSync standard. Since January 2019, owners of recent Nvidia graphics cards on the latest drivers can now enable G-Sync on FreeSync and other adaptive sync monitors ! Anyone confirmed this ?
Hi Sarang no built in speakers and there shouldn't be an issue with using a MacBook pro you might not benefit from all the features such as variable refresh rate but that's only on the gaming side
I think this is a solid all around monitor that will be great for coding and works for gaming as well, I would look around and see if there is a promo, if there are other screen you have in mind co.pare the specs and price with this one and see which in works best.
Good Monitor and panel quality from Dell. Although I would go for a more professionally oriented Ultrawide Monitor like the (VIEWSONIC VP3481a) that's also Color Calibrated w/ FreeSync
Agreed there are monitors out there that offer better color accuracy out of the box, I have never seen the VP3481a price on special be as low as the Dell though. Plenty of great options for 34 inch Ultrawides out there.
There are a variety of configuration I don't believe that one is an option by default but if you download dells display manager there are more.optipns for pbp and I believe 16:9 + 5:9 is one of them
Do you mean the backlight bleed? It's a VA panel so it wasn't an issue from my testing. But that can change between every until some will be better than others
I have a 27 inch 4k flat monitor and I was thinking for a ultrawide like this one, which will be like I would have 3 monitors. Can it be used half and half ?
Not sure I fully understand your question but u can use and umtrawide and a 4k 27 at the same time with your pc no problem. I have an ultrawide and 2 27 inch monitors on my pc.
You can definitely use it with a ps5, I don't think ps5 supports ultrawide though do your 2 options are to run full screen with a stretched image or run it normally in 16:9 with black bars on the sides
There extremely similar, samsung has slightly betterax refresh rate at 165hz but vs 144hz on the dell it's not a big difference. The g5 is more curved than the dell so it's a preference thing. Price will play a big factor since they are almost the same specs. I haven't tested the g5 but from my research if price is the same I would take the Dell for the simple reason that you have better features like PIP , usb hub built in but for me the fact that the G5 has an external power brick is a deal breaker.
@@RobsCorner I’ve had the Samsung G5 34” and was really happy with it but accidentally broke it so I decided to go with something different this time and the Dell is rated better for gaming on Rtings and reviews says it’s decent too so decided to buy one. It comes Tuesday. If it is as good as the Samsung I’ll be happy and if it’s better then that’s even better. I did like the 1000 curve though so might feel a bit weird going to such a subtle curve after using such an aggressive one for so long lol. But as long as it’s just as good for gaming that’s the main thing. And people really decide not to buy Samsung cos of an external power block? It’s not even that big, kinda crazy to not buy a monitor because of that imo but everyone has their own preferences I guess lol. Thanks for the response.
Hey I had borrowed the monitor from my friend who ordered it I don't have it anymore but I did use the color settings from rtings.com u can search this monitor and their recommendations for color accuracy
Just like any other monitor plug it in and it should work, just remember this is a 21 :9 ultrawide vs your standard tv or montior of 16:9 so either you will have black bars on the side or the image will be stretched to fit the screen
I didn't notice it too much even though VA parks do experience some black smearing for ghosting I would recommend the super fast setting instead of extreme to avoid any ghosting
@spikyy_boi2892 I'm not sure how the pricing structure works over there the monitor is around $450 Canadian here which is about 3000 -4000hkd but I don't know what the market is like over there
Hi Jake the monitor will work with console but you will be limited to the fps and resolution that the game and consol puts out some games may not have full ultrawide support but might still work at 16:9 aspect ratio
I don't have an Xbox to test, but it's a monitor it will display what the Xbox outputs. But don't expect to play games at 3440x1440p and 144hz with an Xbox connected. It will probably work but you either won't get ultrawide so you will have black bars or the game will be stretched out to fit the screen
@@supermeseriasu that really depends on what your looking for and your definition of budget, I just uploaded my review of the LGWN600 which is also a budget ultrawide that is less than half the price of this one but it is not curved , 1080p and 29 inches. But in this category I would say this is a great buy
@@RobsCorner I have an LG 34UC88-B Monitor and I want to change it to something 144 hz. I play leagueoflegends now but in the future I intend to play some more games. Otherwise media, youtube
@@supermeseriasu ya it would be an upgrade in refresh rate more than anything else. The Dell will just give you more flexibility in the future but your paying the price of a brand new monitor for only 1 real benefit going from 60 to 144hz, then you can sell your current monitor to try and offset the cost of the new one.
It's a pity to be curved thou (it means it's a VA panel, not an IPS). IMO VA are worst in every aspect, except contrast. Color and texts are sooo much better in an IPS... if it was gaming and video exclusive, ok to be VA... but for productivity (as Excel) IPS is a must.
Yes if it was an IPS panel I think it would be more expensive. I fins thos to he an all around great monitor it does everything really well. Yes there are monitors out there that are better but don't have all the features like this one. It's all about what you will use it for and what features and specs are important for you
@@barteks816 depends on your budget if you wanted to go for something with an Ips panel but yes this is great for gaming and all around general productivity and work
It's a monitor so it needs a source to display something could be a pc , laptop , Console (ps5, xbox) even a phone could work like Samsung dex.. on its own technical it will work and turn on but you will only get a black screen
Depends on the game, but more important is getting a better colour out of the screen so I would try and calibrate the custom color picture mode 1st. Check out rtings website they have great calibration settings for the monitor. but for the response time setting i found Super fast was better than extreme less blur in games.
From what I can see the monitor is no longer on sale for 500 it's at a regular price of 855, the Discount code still works to remove 10% off the 855 though. The 500$ was not a discount code it was simply the proce of the monitor on special. That's unfortunate but they usually go on sale fairly often
Hey Frank, trust me I would love too, I currently have the AW3418DW, would love to try the new AW3423DW but seeing as I'm a tiny channel, any item that I want to review has to be bought personally and at $2000 CAD it might have to wait.
@@RobsCorner The monitor seems ok, but I think samsung will come up with something better, so I'm still building my custom rig, computer, but it's expensive and takes a lot of time too, i will take a picture if I know what monitor i have, something like AW3423DW or something bigger like 36 or max 41 Inch, I just don't want a curved monitor, the 12900ks and the 3090 ti are the weak link for me i thought they would be much better than the k and the 3090 so i'm hoping for the next gen which has a little more than a max 10% improvement, the 12900ks is still a bottleneck for the 3090 Ti pff
That's a serious rig, you might be waiting a while if you want the 40 series, even if they launch in September like the 30 series who know what pricing and availability will be.
10%OFFMONITOR usually works for dell monitors I used it recently for my oled one but maybe it's by region or they turned it off for now but I used it when I bought that monitor last year
Good for the price point but stating that the monitor does it all isn't really correct. It's only got a brightness of 400 nits, a contrast of 3000/1, a lackluster VA panel with 8bit which means HDR is faked. Black levels are decent at best.... I will admit that for 500 CDN, it's a good deal currently but with QD-OLED monitors coming out this year and bound to get cheaper over time, I suggest people wait.
True there are new technologies that will come out this year but that will also drive down the price of older models, this monitor does have its concessions but for the price the monitor does have enough features for my point that it does it all... doesn't do it all at the very best but it is loaded with features that monitors that cost way more don't offer. It is all about what features are a priority for the you and at what budget.
comparing a $500 monitor with a QD-OLED that are going to start at minimum double the price is wild. For $500 it does everything you would want for $500. If you’re implying to wait for 2022-2023 technology to match todays pricing as if it will take a year or two, you’re delusional
G-SYNC IS NOT WORKING!!! I just got this monitor and not only does it flicker, the image is choppy and stuttering! Stay away NVIDIA GPUS owners!!! Second day return. My GPU is RTX 3070.
Might be a faulty unit, I would return it too if your having multiple issues. I know this might seem like a silly question is the monitor plugged directly into your rtx 3070 or is it plugged into your.motherboard ?
@@RobsCorner I don’t think it’s faulty. You can activate the FPS setting on the screen and you’ll see it changes the refresh rate based on the FPS of the game, but it still tears and stutters as if no sync option was enabled. Tried this without v-sync enabled and my FPS was 100 to 140 constant. It’s connected to my GPU. Also have the 34gn850 and it’s night and day clear that the Dell screen has nothing to do with g-sync.
@@Laup2ten I didn't have that issue, I only had the monitor with me for a short time since it was loaned to me by my friend but it didn't have any noticeable tearing, just double check everything is properly setup (screen refresh rate is set to 144hz in nvidea control panel, Gsync is enable, Vsync off...)

I think this is a solid all around monitor that will be great for coding and works for gaming as well, I would look around and see if there is a promo, if there are other screen you have in mind co.pare the specs and price with this one and see which in works best.
What does upstream usb mean. Ie vs downstream?? Use?? Ty. Love it. Got mine yesterday.
Basically just that the monitor becomes a USB hub when connected to your pc and gives you extra USB connection directly from your monitor
@@RobsCorner great 👍 thanks 🙏
Okay. I am buying it now xD

Good Monitor and panel quality from Dell. Although I would go for a more professionally oriented Ultrawide Monitor like the (VIEWSONIC VP3481a) that's also Color Calibrated w/ FreeSync
Agreed there are monitors out there that offer better color accuracy out of the box, I have never seen the VP3481a price on special be as low as the Dell though. Plenty of great options for 34 inch Ultrawides out there.
With pip/pbp, can you split the screen so it is 16:9 and 5:9?
There are a variety of configuration I don't believe that one is an option by default but if you download dells display manager there are more.optipns for pbp and I believe 16:9 + 5:9 is one of them
Does this have hdr? And What would be the best color pre-set?
It does have HDR and the best colour settings is to really look online and set the custom colours for best accuracy
@@RobsCorner Another question, How bad is the black smearing? Is it deal breaking?
Do you mean the backlight bleed? It's a VA panel so it wasn't an issue from my testing. But that can change between every until some will be better than others
I have a 27 inch 4k flat monitor and I was thinking for a ultrawide like this one, which will be like I would have 3 monitors. Can it be used half and half ?
Not sure I fully understand your question but u can use and umtrawide and a 4k 27 at the same time with your pc no problem. I have an ultrawide and 2 27 inch monitors on my pc.
Does this monitor have a built-in speaker?
It does not have built in speakers, but it does have an audio out 3.5mm that you can use
is that Hifree LED Table Lamp?
It's the Aukey Table lamp but pretty much the exact same thing
Would u recommended for p5 ?
You can definitely use it with a ps5, I don't think ps5 supports ultrawide though do your 2 options are to run full screen with a stretched image or run it normally in 16:9 with black bars on the sides
Is this better than the Samsung G5 34” for gaming?
There extremely similar, samsung has slightly betterax refresh rate at 165hz but vs 144hz on the dell it's not a big difference. The g5 is more curved than the dell so it's a preference thing. Price will play a big factor since they are almost the same specs. I haven't tested the g5 but from my research if price is the same I would take the Dell for the simple reason that you have better features like PIP , usb hub built in but for me the fact that the G5 has an external power brick is a deal breaker.
@@RobsCorner I’ve had the Samsung G5 34” and was really happy with it but accidentally broke it so I decided to go with something different this time and the Dell is rated better for gaming on Rtings and reviews says it’s decent too so decided to buy one. It comes Tuesday. If it is as good as the Samsung I’ll be happy and if it’s better then that’s even better. I did like the 1000 curve though so might feel a bit weird going to such a subtle curve after using such an aggressive one for so long lol. But as long as it’s just as good for gaming that’s the main thing. And people really decide not to buy Samsung cos of an external power block? It’s not even that big, kinda crazy to not buy a monitor because of that imo but everyone has their own preferences I guess lol. Thanks for the response.
Can this be mounted on a monitor arm?
Yes it is 100x100 Vesa compatible
Would you mind sharing your brightness and contrast settings?
Hey I had borrowed the monitor from my friend who ordered it I don't have it anymore but I did use the color settings from rtings.com u can search this monitor and their recommendations for color accuracy
Use rtings settings
I want my royalty!! Lol 😂
Где вы взяли такие крючки для панели IKEA ???
They are part of the IKEA Skadis product line
How does it work with xbox/ps5?
Just like any other monitor plug it in and it should work, just remember this is a 21 :9 ultrawide vs your standard tv or montior of 16:9 so either you will have black bars on the side or the image will be stretched to fit the screen
Did you notice ghosting or black smearing on this monitor? It's something that worries me about getting a VA monitor.
I didn't notice it too much even though VA parks do experience some black smearing for ghosting I would recommend the super fast setting instead of extreme to avoid any ghosting
@@RobsCorner Thank you so much for the feedback
@@brasilpowergames happy to help 😀
What keyboard is that
Durgod K320 TKL
can this moniter connect to a mac
Yes its a display and will connect with display port or hdmi
@@RobsCorner thanks, btw is 6,000 hkd worth the moniter?
@spikyy_boi2892 I'm not sure how the pricing structure works over there the monitor is around $450 Canadian here which is about 3000 -4000hkd but I don't know what the market is like over there
@@RobsCorner k thanks i just subscribed!
@@spikyy_boi2892 thank you I appreciate it
Will this monitor work on console?
Hi Jake the monitor will work with console but you will be limited to the fps and resolution that the game and consol puts out some games may not have full ultrawide support but might still work at 16:9 aspect ratio
Does this work with the series x?
I don't have an Xbox to test, but it's a monitor it will display what the Xbox outputs. But don't expect to play games at 3440x1440p and 144hz with an Xbox connected. It will probably work but you either won't get ultrawide so you will have black bars or the game will be stretched out to fit the screen
Rob, thanks for saving me $70 at checkout.
Awesome 👌 your welcome
@@RobsCorner Is it the best budget ultrawide monitor? Or do you have another recommendation?
@@supermeseriasu that really depends on what your looking for and your definition of budget, I just uploaded my review of the LGWN600 which is also a budget ultrawide that is less than half the price of this one but it is not curved , 1080p and 29 inches. But in this category I would say this is a great buy
@@RobsCorner
I have an LG 34UC88-B Monitor and I want to change it to something 144 hz. I play leagueoflegends now but in the future I intend to play some more games. Otherwise media, youtube
@@supermeseriasu ya it would be an upgrade in refresh rate more than anything else. The Dell will just give you more flexibility in the future but your paying the price of a brand new monitor for only 1 real benefit going from 60 to 144hz, then you can sell your current monitor to try and offset the cost of the new one.
It's a pity to be curved thou (it means it's a VA panel, not an IPS).
IMO VA are worst in every aspect, except contrast. Color and texts are sooo much better in an IPS... if it was gaming and video exclusive, ok to be VA... but for productivity (as Excel) IPS is a must.
Yes if it was an IPS panel I think it would be more expensive. I fins thos to he an all around great monitor it does everything really well. Yes there are monitors out there that are better but don't have all the features like this one. It's all about what you will use it for and what features and specs are important for you
@@RobsCornerwould you recommend it for gaming and cad working? I got 4080 so my card will handle it 😜
@@barteks816 depends on your budget if you wanted to go for something with an Ips panel but yes this is great for gaming and all around general productivity and work
Does it need a pc or a laptop to work
It's a monitor so it needs a source to display something could be a pc , laptop , Console (ps5, xbox) even a phone could work like Samsung dex.. on its own technical it will work and turn on but you will only get a black screen
What are the best settings for gaming
Depends on the game, but more important is getting a better colour out of the screen so I would try and calibrate the custom color picture mode 1st. Check out rtings website they have great calibration settings for the monitor. but for the response time setting i found Super fast was better than extreme less blur in games.
Call of duty
It would be playing more with the in game settings to try and take advantage of the 144hz monitor, and depends on the GPU you have.
The screenshot of the screen in the background stressed me during the whole video. Why not putting something more "modern" "tech" "gaming"? Lol sorrt
Thanks for the feedback, I have been putting more moving /animated backgrounds in recent videos and having some fun with wallpaper engine too.
Put in your discount code and lost the 500 dollars off code. The monitor is now 855 dollars instead of 500. Can't seem to revert it. Thanks.
From what I can see the monitor is no longer on sale for 500 it's at a regular price of 855, the Discount code still works to remove 10% off the 855 though. The 500$ was not a discount code it was simply the proce of the monitor on special. That's unfortunate but they usually go on sale fairly often
Try it the Alienware AW3423DW dudes
Hey Frank, trust me I would love too, I currently have the AW3418DW, would love to try the new AW3423DW but seeing as I'm a tiny channel, any item that I want to review has to be bought personally and at $2000 CAD it might have to wait.
@@RobsCorner Give them my regards and say I asked lol;l I'm looking for 3 monitors for my sim rig
Triple AW3423DW's would be insane for a sim rig, any triple ultrawide would be amazing. Please tag me when its finished would love to see it.
@@RobsCorner The monitor seems ok, but I think samsung will come up with something better, so I'm still building my custom rig, computer, but it's expensive and takes a lot of time too, i will take a picture if I know what monitor i have, something like AW3423DW or something bigger like 36 or max 41 Inch, I just don't want a curved monitor, the 12900ks and the 3090 ti are the weak link for me i thought they would be much better than the k and the 3090 so i'm hoping for the next gen which has a little more than a max 10% improvement, the 12900ks is still a bottleneck for the 3090 Ti pff
That's a serious rig, you might be waiting a while if you want the 40 series, even if they launch in September like the 30 series who know what pricing and availability will be.
coupon code no longer works
That's unfortunate, might be your region, it usually works on all monitors I used it in February for oled screen and it worked no issues.
code dont work
10%OFFMONITOR usually works for dell monitors I used it recently for my oled one but maybe it's by region or they turned it off for now but I used it when I bought that monitor last year
it used VA panel, black smearing infested in this monitor
It is a VA panel i didn't notice black smearing while testng it, but VA panels can have black smearing problems
Lol gaming n working lol 😂
Good for the price point but stating that the monitor does it all isn't really correct. It's only got a brightness of 400 nits, a contrast of 3000/1, a lackluster VA panel with 8bit which means HDR is faked. Black levels are decent at best.... I will admit that for 500 CDN, it's a good deal currently but with QD-OLED monitors coming out this year and bound to get cheaper over time, I suggest people wait.
True there are new technologies that will come out this year but that will also drive down the price of older models, this monitor does have its concessions but for the price the monitor does have enough features for my point that it does it all... doesn't do it all at the very best but it is loaded with features that monitors that cost way more don't offer. It is all about what features are a priority for the you and at what budget.
"only 400 nits" are you insane???
comparing a $500 monitor with a QD-OLED that are going to start at minimum double the price is wild. For $500 it does everything you would want for $500.
If you’re implying to wait for 2022-2023 technology to match todays pricing as if it will take a year or two, you’re delusional
Im from the future, date is 31.01.2024. QD-OLEDs cost 2-2,5 times more than this Dell 😢
@@malan07still the case in July 24
G-SYNC IS NOT WORKING!!! I just got this monitor and not only does it flicker, the image is choppy and stuttering! Stay away NVIDIA GPUS owners!!! Second day return.
My GPU is RTX 3070.
Might be a faulty unit, I would return it too if your having multiple issues. I know this might seem like a silly question is the monitor plugged directly into your rtx 3070 or is it plugged into your.motherboard ?
@@RobsCorner I don’t think it’s faulty. You can activate the FPS setting on the screen and you’ll see it changes the refresh rate based on the FPS of the game, but it still tears and stutters as if no sync option was enabled. Tried this without v-sync enabled and my FPS was 100 to 140 constant. It’s connected to my GPU. Also have the 34gn850 and it’s night and day clear that the Dell screen has nothing to do with g-sync.
@@Laup2ten I didn't have that issue, I only had the monitor with me for a short time since it was loaned to me by my friend but it didn't have any noticeable tearing, just double check everything is properly setup (screen refresh rate is set to 144hz in nvidea control panel, Gsync is enable, Vsync off...)
this Dell S34 or IPS Gigabyte M34WQ ?
For gaming i would go for the ips I haven't tested gigabyte monitors though so I can't say anything about build quality or warranty
