People are slowly becoming poorer. Credit card debt is up. Savings accounts are shrinking. Extra things, like this monitor, are luxuries, not necessities. That's part of the reason that overall prices on electronis are going down.

Don't worry, necessary goods prices will continue to rise.
This is a solid deal if an ultrawide VA panel fits your use case, tying a recent Amazon deal. 7.8/10 overall, 8.2/10 for gaming, and 7.6/10 for office use from RTINGS:
"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 34 supports most formats supported by the . Since the don't support ultrawide aspect ratios, you have to set the Aspect Ratio setting to 'Auto Resize', otherwise the image will be stretched to fill the space. This results in black bars on either side, but the image is displayed correctly. Even though the native resolution of this monitor is below 4k, it can accept a 4k signal and downscale it to 1440p, resulting in a slightly sharper image than a native 1440p signal. Due to the bandwidth limits of the HDMI ports, though, it's limited to 60Hz if you decide to send a 4k signal."

VRR functions with Xbox Series S/X, but not PS5. It's not G-Sync certified, but G-Sync works via DisplayPort if fps is 60 or above. Ports: 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 1x 3.5mm Audio Out, 4x USB-A, and the required 1x USB-B upstream port. If you lack administrative privileges for a work machine (and therefore can't use FancyZones or a similar program), you can just use Picture-by-Picture (PBP) and two HDMI inputs or a DisplayPort and an HDMI input to make your computer treat it as two screens, which improves screen sharing and window snapping. It has also has Picture-in-Picture.

I use this for work and it's very good. I usually buy IPS but this is just as good imo. I did have to go through 3 panels though to get one without dead pixels or severe clouding.

Quite true. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/09/a...point.html
  • Total credit card debt reached a record $930.6 billion by the end of last year, according to the latest credit report from TransUnion.
  • As average balances tick higher, households' finances are near their "breaking point," a separate study by WalletHub found.
