"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.

The monitor was in new condition, I couldn't find any signs of wear and tear anywhere. It didn't have that much plastic to peel out so I'm guessing that is the sign it was used. Screen is clear and has zero dead pixels. apart from the normal expected VA panel bleeds, monitor is top notch and using 144Hz for the first time on a screen has been a godsend.
I don't game heavily so any ghosting issue that has been reported hasn't been obvious for me. I now use this as my main monitor since most windows can be split into half on the one screen and I still have my old 32" LG 4k monitor to the side for other things. All in all it looksl like well spent money so far.
