Product Information

During the night this brightness was more than enough. Even at 80 percent, it was just fine for our tastes. Of course, as we all mention in other posts, a VA panel often makes better use than the others of a good brightness ratio. However, it is not recommended for professionals because it has a lower color fidelity than an IPS panel. Still, the VA panel is more commonly found in lower-cost ultrawide screens, which is why we weren’t expecting this monitor to include one. If you compare the out-of-the-box colors of this monitor to those of an IPS panel, the juxtaposition of both is so massive that even though these aren’t the worst VA colors, they could be called washed out. Of course with some tweaking they could be way better than this, so be sure to do that if you buy this screen.

More detailed, stunning colours: Vertical Alignment (VA) display technology delivers an expanded contrast ratio of 3000:1, together with 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 wider colour coverage, so you can see rich colours, greater depth and a wider range of shades.

So, while it all comes down to preferences in the end, this monitor is indeed quite average when it comes to its panel, it has what you would expect in terms of color accuracy and viewing angles. Brightness

In today’s post, we’ll look at a 2021 ultrawide Dell release with mid/high-end prices and see if it’s on par with those. The 4ms refresh rate is another feature that confirms this is not a gaming display. This value is clearly not suitable for gaming, as it falls short of the 1ms ratio typically used for gaming monitors. It does however have Freesync, which will reduce screen tearing and make everything even smoother in combination with the high refresh rate.We’ll get further into colors and image accuracy in the image quality section, but for now, you should note that this monitor has very washed-out colors out of the box. Of course, you can tweak them to look a little bit better, but it will hardly meet the requirements for professional use even if you do so. On the other hand, this stand is one master in consuming our precious desk space, being one of the bulkiest that dell has ever made. Of course, due to its flat base, you can put some things on top of it. But we can all agree that piling things up on a monitor’s stand will only make your setup look disorganized.

All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. the curved screen makes it easier to sit closer to the screen without hurting your eyes, and while the colors don't go very dark, lighter off-whites are very easy to spot. i can't wait to use this for digital drawing. To test the panel in this monitor, I used an X-Rite i1Display Pro to measure a series of patterns in CalMAN Ultimate, alongside some by-eye tests with patterns from Lagom and Blur Busters.

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. Those speakers have a fairly decent volume, but other than that, they are quite average. Of course, it is better than what you find in low-end screens, but it isn’t even comparable to those of the: LG 34WP65C-B, for example, which has the same price range as this one right now. Connectors Of course, every panel has its own tier, varying from low to high end. Naturally, high-end VA panels will be better than low-end IPS panels in almost all regards. But that is not the point here. When we talk about those panels in an equal measurement, assuming both are mid-range ones, the IPS is the one that comes out ahead.

Or is it a professional one? That’s what we’ll look for in terms of overall image quality. Image Quality the screen is an LCD. i know that i wasn't going to get a big fancy OLED this size for under a thousand dollars, but i feel like the manufacurer had deliberately avoided mentioning the screen type. however, the color quality and visual quality are much better than my previous setup (a 41 inch 30hz LCD samsung smart TV).

At first sight, this monitor doesn’t look like any other Dell monitor; it looks like an ultrawide result of a combination of some models such as the Dell P3221D and the Dell S2721HN, but it’s still quite unique.
