The Dell S3422DWG is a very good 34 inch 1440p ultrawide monitor with a VA panel. It has good contrast and great black uniformity, so it looks great in a dark room. It's not too shabby in a bright room, either, as it has good reflection handling and great peak brightness in SDR. It's mainly marketed as a gaming monitor. It delivers a great gaming experience with a good response time at the max refresh rate, excellent low input lag, and support for FreeSync variable refresh rate technology. Although it's not officially G-SYNC compatible, it's also possible to still use G-SYNC over DisplayPort, but unfortunately, it doesn't work properly if your frame rate drops below 60fps. Sadly, like most VA panels, the image degrades at an angle, so it's not the best for co-op gaming.


The Dell S3422DWG is a great gaming monitor. It has low input lag, a good response time at the max refresh rate, and a few great gaming features, including support for FreeSync. The large, ultrawide screen delivers a more immersive gaming experience, and it looks great in a dark room, with a good contrast ratio and excellent black uniformity. Unfortunately, G-SYNC doesn't work properly if your frame rate drops below 60fps, and there can be some black smearing in dark scenes.

  • Excellent low input lag.
  • Fast refresh rate.
  • Ultrawide format delivers a more immersive gaming experience.
