Product Information

Similar to the other ultrawide screens, the Dell P3421 will optimize users’ satisfaction in entertaining and productivity in working. Before dwelling on the highlight features of Dell P3421W, let’s first take a look at its basic specifications. Specifications 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 Some USB devices like external portable HDD require higher electric current; connect the device directly to the computer. 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.

The curved screen provides a 178-degree viewing angle, which is very wide and impressive. Hard-Coating 3H anti-glare layer coat also helps reduce eye strain and glare in the usage process. Resolution: Unless you’re using your monitor exclusively for gaming or watching movies, an ultrawide should have a resolution of 3440×1440 or higher. That’s the same sharpness as a 1440p or “2K” resolution on a non-ultrawide. The text on every 1080p-equivalent (2560×1080) ultrawide we tested was pixelated and hard to read, and on those models the lower resolution negates the extra screen space that makes an ultrawide appealing. 4K- and 5K-equivalent ultrawide monitors aren’t widely available yet. Size: Most ultrawide screens measure between 34 and 38 inches diagonally. You can buy a smaller option, but below 34 inches the advantages aren’t noticeable enough to justify the higher price. If you need something smaller, you’re likely to be happier with the resolution and picture quality of a 27-inch 4K monitor or a 24-inch monitor. On the other end of the spectrum, 38-inch ultrawides require a lot of desk space and cost much more than 34-inch models.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. 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.
