About this deal

There are also four video inputs and two USB upstream ports, which makes it easy to connect two computers and have them share a single monitor, keyboard and mouse. MHL support allows the mirroring of smartphone and tablet content, as well as charging of those devices, and there’s even an HDMI 2.0 port which accepts a native 3440x1440 signal at 60Hz. To get the best usage of the UltraSharp U3415W, you have to connect it to a device with DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI out, so that the display can deliver its maximum resolution at 60 Hertz. Caution: Older or cheaper notebooks may not be able to work with this monitor.

Ultra-wide monitors aren’t mainstream yet, but they certainly seem to be catching on. This year’s Consumer Electronics Show saw numerous manufacturers introduce new curved 21:9 beauties targeting a range of capabilities and prices. Many seem to be targeting consumers exclusively on the merit of display size, but a few attempt to stand out in image quality as well. Buy it now from:I have two computers, Duncan and Paul. Using the DisplayPort connection on the U3419W I connect that to the DisplayPort OUT port on the U3415W. I connect Duncan to the DisplayPort IN connection on the U3415W. I connect Paul to the Mini-DisplayPort connection on the U3415W. Apple explained that the M3 Pro chip in the 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro is up to 40% faster than the M1 Pro in the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Yet, as spotted by MacRumors, there are some situations where the latest chips actually look a little worse than their predecessors -- at least on paper.

As usual, the following photo shows the display in 45° angle with fixed aperture and shutter speed. Apart from a minimal darkening in vertical direction with increasing angles, the image appears stable to the naked eye. In view of the IPS technology, a different result would have been surprising. Lenovo is one of the best laptop brands you can buy from at the moment. While the Lenovo 14w Gen 2 AMD certainly isn't pushing the boundaries with performance speeds, it's functional. It has an AMD 3015e processor along with 4GB of memory so it's pretty slow but will at least run Windows 11 Pro. We are, however, pleased to see that there's 128GB of SSD storage. Many laptops in this price range use eMMC storage which is much slower so it's good to see something a little speedier here. Unless I missed it, no mention of sync of either flavor. I'm not buying a new display without one or the other. I've noticed it so much nicer in every enabled task, not just gaming.

Image Quality

I am going to assume that if I connect upstream USB Port 1 on the U3419W to one of the downstream ports on the U3415W, then any USB device on the U3419W will be switched when the active video source is changed. Is that correct? The question is simple; do you need 21:9? If you do, and you also want solid image quality, Dell’s U3415W is the way to go. It makes better sense than the LG 34UC97, which is more expensive and less practical. If you’re not married to the idea of an ultra-wide set, however, you can find value elsewhere. Highs There’s no doubt that the introduction of new M3 chips was the main event at Apple’s Scary Fast show. Yet, it looks possible that the M3 Pro might actually have a significant downgrade compared to the Apple silicon chips that came before it. DisplayPort is the best way to connect a computer to the U3415W. It comes with on in the box, but having an extra on hand is always a good idea.

The U3415W boasts typical Dell build quality. Every surface feel robust, even the bezels, which are slim and hidden inside the panel to further the illusion of thinness. Professionals will be happy to find adjusting the display is almost as easy as with other UltraSharps, though the panel’s size can make it hard to find leverage when moving its height up or down. Port choices nearly as wide as the monitor The USB downstream ports on the U3419W are not associated with any PC because the daisy-chained cable does not "speak" to the U3419W. You would need a 3rd USB 3.0 upstream cable connected directly to whichever PC you are using at the time. Still, Dell’s menu is as easy to navigate as ever, with logically placed items arranged in a set of lists and trees. The selection of quality controls is reasonable. Brightness, contrast and sharpness round out the basic. Color calibration includes red, blue and green, and sub-colors like cyan can be adjusted for saturation. Gamma adjustment is limited, however, to a “PC” and “Mac” mode. You get a boatload of ports with this monitor, including two full-size DisplayPort connectors (one in and one out) that allow you to daisy-chain multiple monitors, a mini-DisplayPort input, an HDMI 2.0 input, a separate Mobile High Definition (MHL) input for connecting to and charging smartphones and tablets, an audio line-out for external speakers, and six USB 3.0 ports, two of which are upstream connectors that allow you to share a keyboard and mouse with two PCs. My only gripe here is that all of the USB ports are at the rear of the cabinet; a few side-mounted ports would make it easier to plug and unplug peripherals like thumb drives and MP3 players. The Dell U3415W is an UltraSharp, which means it holds itself to a higher standard than competitors – and most Dells. While it measures up in many areas the display has a few problems that balance its positives.

Case

Like other widescreen monitors the U3415W includes picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture modes. This works well, and the MHL port means you can even input video from a tablet or smartphone, something not all 21:9 sets can do. Pre-calibration quality MORE: Best Computer MonitorsMORE: Display Calibration 101: Step-By-Step With Datacolor's Sypder4Elite The Nvidia GTX 980 is an excellent choice for gaming on Dell’s ultra-wide monitor, as it can handle most titles at its extreme 3,440 x 1,440 resolution. The color gamut is adequate, too, covering 100 percent of sRGB and 78 percent of AdobeRGB. Those numbers fall short of the very best, like Dell’s 5K monitor and the Samsung U32D970Q, both of which can hit 96 percent of AdobeRGB. But the U3415W is on par with the LG 34UC97 and better than the Acer B326HK.
