Product Gallery
Product Overview
Dell S3422DW is a mainstream 34-inch UW-QHD ultra-wide curved monitor in Dell's 2021 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel.
Its 1800R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. The included stand comes with tilt, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience.

Reviewer score 74%The Dell S3422DWG is a great gaming monitor with low input lag and a fast response time. It's very good for watching videos or media creators, with good contrast and a superb color gamut. Finally, it's a good monitor for gaming in HDR, but it's not bright enough for a true cinematic HDR experience.
