The monitor also features a plethora of connectivity. Much like its predecessors, it features a USB 3.0 Type B upstream port and four USB 3.0 downstream ports to allow connectivity to devices such as a keyboard and mouse. I was most happy that Dell opted to include three of the USB ports on the rear rather than just two that my previous displays have had. Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro.

It was one of my friends who mentioned that he used 2560 by 1440p and when I saw it in a screen share decided it was time for me to make the move too. I opted for another wonderful Dell screen, the Dell U2518D. This one had colour reproduction like none I had ever had, it did only get to stay as my primary monitor for the usual two years. After two years, it was time for a new model. My requirements The Dell U3421WE is my first curved display. I lied when I said I don't like curved screens. Well, maybe just didn't give enough detail. When it comes to TV screens, I'm not their biggest supporter simply because if they aren't large enough the curve just obscures the detail. Whereas with a 34" display like the U3421WE the curve is subtle and good. It works well with the resolution too, as the wider the screen becomes the more you'll need to slant your eyes, but with the curved design it's possible to avoid this pretty much altogether at a decent distance from the screen.

Well, put simply, it was a culmination of all of the standout features of all the displays. Energy conservation: Save energy when your monitor’s not in use with PowerNap , a feature that dims or puts your monitor to sleep when it’s not in use.

One thing I do miss from my previous display is that of DisplayPort multi-stream transport (MST). Whilst it's not hugely common, I once saw it as being the future of display connectivity. Another thing that appears to be missing is mini DisplayPort, although this is not completely unexplainable since USB Type C appears to be overtaking mini DisplayPort. But still, I would have liked to have had one on it.

Nor would I imagine many people would by the U3421WE to game on. Especially considering the refresh rate is 60Hz and there is no FreeSYNC or GSYNC. Being clear, I do a lot of gaming on my PC, but it's mostly strategy games and not fast-moving games - I do not care for that stuff. But for the games I do play, the extra space on the screen is awesome. For example, a favourite of mine, Warcraft III Reforged, supports this wide resolution and I get so much more space than I did before. Connectivity

Unparalleled focus: Get incredible depth, breadth and a wrap-around view that helps you focus on your work. With IPS technology, you can expect consistent colour and picture quality across a wide 178° viewing angle. The Dell U3421WE's image quality immediately impressed and never let me down as I used it to edit photos and videos, play games, and browse the web. That's significant since it uses IPS technology, which usually offers disappointing contrast. This display has a deeper and richer image quality than what's considered typical for an IPS display, and its 3440 x 1440 resolution was extremely sharp as well.

Dell sells only one flavor of the U3421WE, but it also sells the P3421W.
