Product Information

However, I still notice a thin gap on the bezel when turning on the screen, but it won’t affect the product’s visual beauty. The 15-pound weight is not too heavy but still delivers excellent firmness and stability.

Speaking of the monitor stand, this component on Dell P3421W is very beautiful and neat, with the curved sides perfectly matching the curved monitor. It also feels solid and sturdy, providing more confidence in the usage process. Single USB Type-C to supply power (PD 65 W) to a compatible notebook while receiving video & data signal. P3421W possesses a similar aesthetic design to the other ultrawide monitors, but it features more sleekness and a cleaner look than the previous model. Display technology and screen curvature: Ultrawide display panels come in two varieties: IPS (in-plane switching) and VA (vertical alignment). IPS is the better all-around choice, with more-consistent color reproduction and solid viewing angles. VA panels have better contrast ratios but suffer from significant color issues when viewed from an angle, which is problematic for a curved display. With few exceptions, 34-inch ultrawide monitors are curved slightly so that they bend inward toward you, making it easier for you to see the whole screen at once. The curve is measured by the radius; the smaller the radius value, the higher the monitor's curve. For example, a 4000R monitor is barely curved, and an 1800R model is more noticeably so. Most ultrawides are 1800R or 1900R. Make sure that the video cable connecting the monitor to the computer is connected properly and is secure.Change the input color format to PC RGB or YPbPr in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD).

On certain video and applications with fast moving images, imaging ghosting, which appears as a trailing shadow, may occur. Dim or discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part. Of course, you can make the swivel, tilt, pivot, and height adjustments to the stand to suit your sitting posture. There is also a tiny wire hole to help me set up the monitor neatly and save more space. Connectivity And Audio Wireless USB peripherals responding slowly or only working as the distance between itself and its receiver decreases. The IPS panel itself is high quality, with excellent colour accuracy in the default mode: an average Delta E of 0.29 and a maximum of 0.95 are effectively perfect. In that mode, it covers 100% of the sRGB gamut with a 124% volume and 88% of the DCI-P3 space. Brightness consistency is even across the screen too, although it inevitably drops off (by around 10%) at the far edges.However, I always prefer using a separate pair of speakers to get the highest audio quality. Moreover, the speakers cannot produce good audio when pressed on such a thin and space-limited monitor. Performance And Display Color accuracy: Monitors that come calibrated from their manufacturers have better color accuracy than ones that don’t. And since most people don’t calibrate their own monitors, out-of-the-box color accuracy is important. For the best image quality, a monitor should cover as much of the sRGB color gamut as possible; the more gamut coverage a monitor provides, the wider the range of colors it can accurately represent.
