If that still doesn’t satisfy, the U3417W is VESA compatible, so you can swap it out for a different stand. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

IPS panels are known for their wide viewing angles, and the U3417W is no different; colors stayed true, and the picture remained bright when viewed from an extreme top, bottom, and side angle. Accessories Often the packaging of desktop monitors and smart TV sets includes accessories for them. There's also a Uniformity Compensation setting, which is calibrated at the factory to ensure that brightness and color fidelity is uniform across the entire screen. While both screens are the same size, the Dell U3417W has a higher native resolution, so you can see more fine details. The U3417W has two full-size DisplayPorts, one in and one out, with Multi-Stream Transport for daisy-chaining monitors.Get comfortable: Experience optimal eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView, which reduces blue light emissions.

Programmed for perfection: We carefully calibrate the color on the 34" monitor so you get 99% sRGB straight out of the box. millioin colors, which are typical for 8-bit display panels, and not the standard 262200 colors, instead. The U3417W’s color reproduction falls right in line with other ultrawides when it comes to covering the sRGB and AdobeRGB spectrum. I’ve been working with computers for ages, starting with a multi-year stint in purchasing for a major IBM reseller in New York City before eventually landing at PCMag (back when it was still in print as PC Magazine).

The monitor has a typical five button control scheme: one power button and four buttons to control the OSD. The older Dell P2414H recognises when I plug it into the Thunderbolt 3 port via Displayport cable (or even the old VGA using an adapter), but immediately after goes to sleep. If there’s one thing every ultrawide has in common, it’s a wealth of connectivity options around back. As usual, I used the Lagom LCD test pages to take a deeper look at how the Dell U3417W performed under a number of tests including contrast, black levels, color, and response time. Since the monitor is so large and has a TN panel, the viewing angles are horrible I had to strain my eyes to use the monitor.

This ensures the reliability and consistent quality of our products before they get the approved selection stamp. It’s a shame, really, because the Dell’s colors and sweeping curve could lead to a standout sense of immersion if the contrast was up to par.

The colors are a bit more precise than before calibration, as they are now mostly on targets, as before calibration, the red, green and yellow were a bit over-saturated. Power supply and consumption Information about the power supply and consumption, energy efficiency class, etc.
