      ​@@SD-gz7my, I tested it and a TV does have better viewing angles in terms of color accuracy and contrast. It's not a deal breaker for me, but it is something to take notice. If you plan on using this monitor as a TV, then be aware of this.

    Thanks for the video, it is very useful. I am currently looking to buy one but I can't decide whether I go with this one or Gigabyte M34WQ because that monitor has an IPS panel but it is flat. What do you think about the curve? Does it really make a difference that can make me choose over an IPS panel?

    • @CalinUngureanu-IT
      @CalinUngureanu-IT  10 месяцев назад +2

      I think the curve does look nice, but if I were in your shoes, I would still pick the S3422DWG for the very slightly faster response time and higher contrast, which makes a big difference in my opinion. I hope this helped! :)

    I have an Alienware DWF 34" OLED monitor and am planning on getting another 34" for all my static images and some games with lots of hud info. Hoping this will be good! IPS 34"''s seem to all be either flat or crazy expensive, like almost as much as my oled..

    • @The1rust
      @The1rust 9 месяцев назад +2

      It's crazy how much of a disparity there is between a curved UWQHD with a VA panel and those which have an IPS panel. Paying almost double in many cases.
      Paying extra the avoid the pitfalls of VA like ghosting and streaking is one thing but that much makes me even more grateful that Dell really hit it out of the park for those who are on a budget but want to step in to this format. Even better is, if you buy right from Dell, they're usually on sale which makes it also one of the cheapest options out there in certain markets like Canada.

    • @DelScully
      @DelScully 9 месяцев назад +3

      @@The1rust agreed tbh. If I was going for a regular 27" or 32" Id probably always no matter what go for ips but the huge price hike for larger and curved is insane. At that point get a mini led or oled for a couple hundred more.. some of the high end VA panels are incredible to like on the samsung g7 and so on. Im just glad this monitor actually looks like it used HDR well which is a shock for the price and the ghosting doesn't seem horrendous. Thankfully if I want to play a game where its an issue I will just use my oled.. but for every day use and static images this monitor seems next to perfect.

      Hello, I'm not sure how I can help. I don't know the exact specifications of the LG Ultra gear you mentioned, but from many reviews and comparisons I concluded that this VA Dell monitor was almost always the better choice, for a reason or another (comparing to similarly priced monitors). What you should look to compare in these two are the contrast ratios, color gamuts, and the response times. It is ultimately just up to personal preference (more vibrant colours VS a higher contrast, etc...).

    • @CalinUngureanu-IT

      I assure you that VA panels are actually a very good and reliable option if you want a monitor, even if it's for gaming. The IPS monitors that compete with this monitor are much more expensive, and even if they are better in terms of color and response time, the extra price may not appeal to everyone.

    • @GargamelTheGreat
      @GargamelTheGreat 5 месяцев назад +2

      I tried VAs for gaming, and honestly I strongly recommend avoiding it. It really is not worth it.
      The whole point of VAs is to have deep blacks and good contrast...but the black smearing kinda makes that pointless.
      Anyways, for the same price you can get the 34 inch ultrawide flat IPS Gigabyte (34WQ I think).
      You can also get the UWFHD LG IPS version.
      So I still think that for gaming you're better off comprising elsewhere, but not going VA.
