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

Product Information

While it doesn't officially support the wider Adobe RGB color space, the Dell U3417W covers it a little better than average. 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. isn’t particularly great—or horribly bad, either—for a gaming monitor, but this will be more pronounced in darker scenes. The Dell Premium Panel Guarantee means we’ll replace a panel free during your Limited Hardware Warranty, even if only one bright pixel is found.

It is very rare for a 60 Hz monitor to have BFI because many people find 60 Hz flicker bothersome, so this isn't too bad. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. Its color accuracy is a little high comparatively, but still close enough for almost all users — only photographers and digital artists are likely to notice the difference. To test response time, the Lagom test uses a series of pixels, flashing quickly back and forth between light and dark tones. The update contains changes that impact only certain configurations or provides new features that may or may not apply to your environment.

Overall, the response time is similar to many other IPS monitors like the Dell U2717D, but not as good as some gaming IPS monitors like the Acer Predator XB271HU.

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. the color temperature did not change by much too, but like the gamma, it was already good out of the box. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

The only issues we can really notice on the 50% gray test picture are that the 2 sides of the screen look a bit darker than the center, but this is not very noticeable in use. While some may consider the tame colors problem, accurate color is usually preferable to exaggerated color in the long run, and is absolutely crucial if you’re a videophile or you’re looking to do professional-level photo or video editing work.

As usual, I used the Lagom LCD test pages to take a deeper look at how the Dell U3417W performed under a number of tests including contrast, black levels, color, and response time.

Dell’s U3417W follows in its older sibling’s footsteps with a slightly deeper curve and some better USB charging capabilities, but ultimately falls behind where it counts — contrast and brightness. We found the 'Multimedia' picture mode to be the most accurate of the picture mode available, but both the 'Standard' and 'custom color' were pretty close too, so any of the 3 picture modes could have been used and the accuracy would not be too bad.Endlessly entertaining: A curved screen creates a panoramic cinematic experience that instantly elevates an evening of video streaming. With the screen turned on, the bezels are unobtrusive enough that they seem to fade away, and the ultra-wide presentation really comes forward. Each hub input can be tied to a video input, such that when the DisplayPort is the active input the USB ports are fed by hub input 1, and when HDMI 1 is the active input the USB ports are fed by hub input 2, for example. The rear also looks good, and there is a hole in the stand to route cables through and reduce clutter.
