Dell C3422WE 34" 16:9 IPS Curved Video Conferencing Monitor with Webcam

Picture quality is excellent and the width to height ratio is perfect. I honestly didn't think I'd use the display manager app when I read about it since windows has pretty good snapping functionality but I was wrong. I love that app and really makes using the screen even better. I switch back and forth between work and personal laptops frequently and have had no issues with the built in KVM. I hooked one up via USB-C and the other uses USB and HDMI. Built in speaker phone sounds excellent, and the speakers are incredibly clear when listening to voices. Pop-up camera is great, I love that it disappears when no needed. I don't find mself using the Teams buttons as much as I'd thought, but I do use the indicators on them all the time to see if I'm really on mute and ... MorePicture quality is excellent and the width to height ratio is perfect.

I don't find mself using the Teams buttons as much as I'd thought, but I do use the indicators on them all the time to see if I'm really on mute and if call/meeting has connected. Two minor con's are the mic is integrated with the camera, so you have to remember to pop up the camera even for voice only calls, and I wish it had a little more curve to it. It's not bad and certainly helpful, but a little more curve would have been nice. Overall, awesome monitor, so glad I got it and don't know how I'd live without it at this point.

I do a lot of technical analysis and writing, which requires transport of detailed information from various online and digital information sources to spreadsheets and other formats. For several years, I struggled with moving this information from one source to another using a single monitor, until I discovered the value of dual monitors. This simplified life considerably; however, I still had the issue of changing the mouse activity from one monitor to the next. Not that big a deal, yet a nuisance just the same. And the blank spot between the monitors was always an annoyance -- like driving a car with a split windshield. I finally, decided to purchase a widescreen monitor and opted for the Dell S3422 DW, but worried that it might not be large enough to be up to ... MoreI do a lot of technical analysis and writing, which requires transport of detailed information from various online and digital information sources to spreadsheets and other formats.

And the blank spot between the monitors was always an annoyance -- like driving a car with a split windshield. I finally, decided to purchase a widescreen monitor and opted for the Dell S3422 DW, but worried that it might not be large enough to be up to task: my concerns were unfounded. This 34-inch, high resolution screen is perfect for my needs! Still compact enough not to dominate my desk space, I can now load multiple documents on a single screen that makes my task an absolute breeze. For whatever reason, the single curved screen is so much easier on the eyes than fighting with two wonky-angled flat-screen monitors that chew up much more desktop real estate than does the Dell. Besides, it looks cool too. Nice job Dell!

The conferencing capabilities are what set this monitor apart from cheaper alternatives with the same panel so that is my basis for assessing it. The camera is not great. The image quality is poor and it is very wide angle. In a poorly lit home office it just looks bad. I put my brio back on top of the monitor; the built in camera just wasnt good enough. The audio is average at best. Sound output is no better than laptop built in speakers; the mic is OK. I use Teams all day every day so was keen on the built-in Teams controls, but they dont work unless your M365 tenant is in "Teams Only Mode" which ours is not. There's no way for an average user to tell this and if the tenant is not in TOM it isnt going to get changed just to support this monitor - it's a setting ... MoreThe conferencing capabilities are what set this monitor apart from cheaper alternatives with the same panel so that is my basis for assessing it.

There's no way for an average user to tell this and if the tenant is not in TOM it isnt going to get changed just to support this monitor - it's a setting that affects all users and is likely set how it is for a reason. So the only benefit I got from this monitor was the fact that it is a single cable connection and all your peripherals connect to the monitor - network, USB, etc. But even that wasnt flawless. My wireless keyboard and mouse didnt like being connected via the monitor - I had to put the dongle directly into my laptop. My Surface laptop also would not wake from sleep while connected to the monitor - I had to disconnect it first. The panel quality is fine, but there are plenty of alternatives that are just as good. the built in extras on this monitor arent good enough to be worth the convenience of getting them all bundled together. Nice concept, poor execution.
