DellS3422DWG Curved Gaming Monitor - 34 Inch 1800R Curved Screen with 144Hz Refresh Rate, WQHD (3440 x 1440) Display, HDMI, DP to DP 1.4 Cable, AMD FreeSync - Black

This is a fine 32 inch 4K monitor for my 2024 Mac Mini Pro, and a very good value at under $500. I'm used to the Apple iMac 27 inch 5K screen. I did not want a monitor with speakers, having desktop studio audio speakers. The G3223Q's screen has a variety of selectable resolutions and color parameters - colors are accurate. It is marketed as a "gaming" monitor and I can't comment on that as I'm using it as a "desktop" monitor so far. I did like the advertised 144 hz refresh rate for gaming. Most 4K monitors only offer 60 hz refresh rates.Something I find interesting as a non-technical person is when I experiment with selecting various available resolutions under Apple's System Settings/Displays, I like 3008 x 1692 better than the default 3840 x 2160, which is actually 4K resolution. This 3008 x 1692 resolution looks sharp and with it applications when opened seem a good choice/compromise for size on the screen. I'm not sure if I'll stick with it because with 3008 x 1692 the 120 hz refresh rate is the highest available. At 3840 x 2160 I can "make larger" Safari web pages (Command + key shortcut) and that pretty much takes the webpage browser's size to where 3008 x 1692 opens Safari, leaving more monitor space for other applications. But I will mostly want those applications to be larger too - so reading smaller fonts isn't a strain. Anyway, the monitor is versatile.One negative, which I should keep in perspective but is a true Dell marketing decision head-scratcher, is the monitor ships with an HDMI 2.0 cable - actually with four different cables. This is nice - hence keeping my perspective as some monitors don't ship with any cables. But the G3223Q monitor has an advertised HDMI 2.1 as a major selling point. Supposedly the monitor must be connected with an "Ultra Fast" HDMI 2.1 cable to achieve its full capability spec of 4K and 144hz, not the 2.0 cable they provide customers. I bought an HDMI 2.1 cable (from Crutchfield - a short one was about $20 - and is of nice quality). I did this because the 2024 Mac Mini Pro supports HDMI 2.1. It may be the provided 2.0 cable does the trick and for reasons I'm unaware of and despite what I read about 2.1 bandwidth/speeds the supposed 2.0's lesser bandwidth/speed capability doesn't actually apply to this monitor. Or, maybe, the monitor isn't actually 2.4? Something seems askew because I didn't see any differences under the Apple System Settings/Displays offered resolutions or refresh rates between the two HDMI cables. Make of that what you will. I did call Dell to complain about the provided cable not matching the advertised speed of the monitor and they acknowledged the paired cable with the monitor isn't 2.1. They also said, "Sorry, this is what is supposed to ship with the monitor. We are in the process of going through our cable inventory." So, not going to send me the right cable even though the Dell.com website sells a 2.1 cable for about $15.Nevertheless I am very pleased overall and would definitely buy the Dell G3223Q monitor again. It is great for games and desktop uses.

I bought this Dell Curved Gaming, 34 Inch Curved Monitor with 144Hz Refresh Rate, WQHD (3440 x 1440) Display, Black - S3422DWG and would be going from a 27" IPS screen to this VA screen. Reading about the differences I was expecting the picture on my new Dell to be a bit of a downgrade on how the colors would pop. I was willing to make this tradeoff for more screen real estate. However while there is a difference in the two monitors, as to be expected between any monitors, the color issue is nonexistent. This monitor, hooked through the display port, running at 144 HZ, on a 1660 super card is simply brilliant.I did a lot of youtube research before deciding on what model to buy and this one kept coming up as the best in it's class as a VA screen. The next possible option was to go IPS and spend another $300-350. I'm glad I decided to save a bit of cash and go with this Dell.It's bright, clear, with no dead or bright pixels. Sitting in front of the screen there is no fade as one looks to the edges. Also for a VA screen one can go quite a ways side to side before noting any fade in the picture. To me that is a nonissue anyway as I'm always at the desk if using the computer.I was going to install it on my moveable arm but, the stand is so nice, and the monitor so big that I decided not to do that. Instead I used the included stand and it works great. My adjustable arm and old 27" were moved together to my old standby computer and are doing quite well there.The only issue I had was registering it at Dell. When I clicked on the link at their site to register it would only take me to their diagnostic tool that would determine what product I had. Here's where the trouble started as it would only scan my pc, not a Dell, and say my computer couldn't be registered. Duh, it's not a Dell. So to register it to my Dell account I had to call Dell support and talk to a tech who completed the registration for me.I've had it now for almost three weeks and couldn't be happier with my choice.
