Curved-screen monitors haven't quite taken the market by storm, but they are beginning to trickle in. With the UltraSharp U3415W ($1,199.99), Dell joins LG and Samsung in releasing a gargantuan, 34-inch, ultra-wide, curved display designed to bring enhanced panoramic viewing to the desktop.

Accurate colors; Sharp gray-scale; Powerful audio; Lots of features

Expensive; No side-mounted USB ports

Back in the mid-2000s, owning a 30-inch monitor was the (expensive) dream. Our collective thirst for larger panels hasn't dampened since then, and if you're not considering splashing out on a TV-sized 40-inch 4K monitor, you might be weighing up a cinematic ultra-wide offering like the Dell...

Curved-screen monitors haven't quite taken the market by storm, but they are beginning to trickle in. With the UltraSharp U3415W ($1,199.99), Dell joins LG and Samsung in releasing a gargantuan, 34-inch, ultra-wide, curved display designed to bring enhanced panoramic viewing to the desktop. This monitor uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel technology to deliver rich, accurate colors and solid gray-scale performance, with wide viewing angles. It is equipped with numerous I/O ports and offers a USB hub and daisy-chaining capabilities, and it comes with a height-adjustable stand. The U3415W($799.99 at Dell) doesn't come cheap, but you get a lot of monitor and great performance for your money. It's our top pick for ultra-wide monitors. Design and Features Dell's UltraSharp monitors have always maintained a pleasing aesthetic, but the U3415W takes it to another level with a slick, (mostly) bezel-free design that makes the gigantic 34-inch panel look even larger than it already is.

The Dell UltraSharp U3415W is a huge, 34-inch, curved-screen monitor that delivers outstanding performance and is packed with features.

Accurate colors; Sharp gray-scale; Powerful audio; Lots of features

Expensive; No side-mounted USB ports

The U3415W is the best 21:9 monitor we've seen yet, but it's not perfect.

Robust build quality; Ergonomic VESA stand; High contrast ratio; Good overall image quality

Modest color accuracy for the price; Some backlight bleed; Expensive

Have this monitor set up with my Late 2016 MacbookPro for editing projects. I'm getting 3860 x1440 at 60Hz with a Display to USB-C cable from a company that has a great search engine. The monitor looks great, the image was superb out of the box, and I love that 3 year warranty just in case.

The monitor is great! Works beautifully with my Alienware 15. Picture quality is fantastic! However there is one dark dead pixel. Dell will replace the panel only if it is either a bright dead pixel or more than 5 dark dead pixels. Otherwise would have given 5 stars

First Off, The monitor came without any damage done to the box thanks to "DPD" unlike "Hermes Uk" in which my last 2 parcels had big gashes in the boxes! In this case I couldn't take the chance with a 34" monitor, so I paid extra for DPD to deliver it and it was worth it.

This is a tough review as I have mixed feelings about the screen. First of all well done to Scan, top service and delivery. My only real issue with the screen is the extent of light bleed. Its really quite bad and I had considered a return.

With the UltraSharp U3415W, Dell has created a solid monitor with a large Diagonal Curved panel and an attractive price point. Something that we've not seen out of other manufacturers.

Attractive housing; Good image quality; Curved display; Multiple connectivity options; Low DeltaE

A detailed look at Dell's new 34" curved ultra-wide display. Featuring an IPS panel and 3440 x 1440 resolution. How does it compare with flat 34" models we've seen and other recent Dell UltraSharp range models?

Good factory calibration and strong contrast ratio; Flicker free and light AG coating; Massive ultra-wide screen size and curve aspect ratio comfortable to use

Uniformity compensation mode works well; but inflexible in options; Response times not as fast as we had hoped and moderate lag also; IPS glow possibly an issue on a screen this size
