Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did not buy this monitor for gaming as most of the reviews that I read prior to my purchase. When I picked it up I thought that I had made a big mistake, this thing is big. Once setup and I got use to it I absolutely love it. Dell makes a solid product, well built and it looks great.

I genuinely hate this monitor. I don't even know why this is being sold as a monitor when it's actually a mirror. This thing is so reflective that no matter where I put my lights - there will always be reflections. I did a ton of research on how to properly set up lighting in an office and to eliminate reflections. I know what I'm doing. 99% of the people who buy this will not go to the lengths I have in order to minimize the reflections. Just look at the image attached. It's a mirror!! Not a monitor. Working on this monitor at night is downright painful and gives me a headache every time. My eyes feel so tired when I go to bed. I can't get any work done. I have been trying to make it work for so long... I've even put a black backdrop behind me to make sure that the screen sees nothing but pure black. But obviously I have to be in front of the monitor. And if there is ANY light ANYWHERE in the room, my shoulders will catch that light obviously and this monitor will reflect even the slightest ambience light making it so hard to look at it. Of course when it's turned on the reflections are reduced a little but still very far from anything useable. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and do not buy this piece of crap. I NEVER had this issue with my iMac's monitor!

I own this monitor for almost a year now. I bought it for multiple display setup ( two Dell UP2716D monitors & this monitor) in my tiny (& messy home office, lol) work, photo editing, & entertainment as well. Plenty of work space due to the UW screen, great resolution, color is really good out of the box (I calibrated it though). The two cons are 1.) tiny bleed on the lower side of the screen while the two UP2716D's have zero bleed. 2.) calibrating it isn't as good as the UP2716D. But it's no big deal, minor cons against many pros.

A few of my co-workers use 2 screens for productivity which I tried and didn't care for, another uses a 32" TV to save money but the resolution wasn't comfortable on my eyes with CAD, email, spreadsheet, Word, and PDF editing programs I use daily. My next debate was flat versus curved. I knew 32-34 inch was the size I wanted but had never worked for any long period of time with a curved screen. I'm glad I selected this Dell curved monitor for my daily Office tasks. The curved screen is very comfortable, the 3440x1440 resolution is crisp and clear, and multitasking is a snap with the presets.

We were looking at getting a 27" monitor from the Apple Store for our law office, but over $1000 seemed pricey for what we needed. This monitor is perfect - we can view 4 documents side-by-side, and the picture quality is tremendous at a fraction of the cost. Very esthetically pleasing as well!

I bought this 34" monitor as an upgrade from a Dell 30" monitor which I truly loved. Out of the box, the 34" is massive but is sleek enough to be a work of art. The resolution doesn't take any getting used to and the lack of bezel in the center (I'm looking at you, dual monitors) is a welcomed addition. I suspect this is in part due to the curve of the screen which is a nice touch. I have compared the curve to the 2015 version and prefer this version. While I know this isn't a gaming monitor, I have not had any issues with the few games I have run. FPS, RTS, MMOs, they all look great on this monitor. Just make sure you have enough horsepower to power this monster. There is noticeable light bleed in the corners but apparently, all of the monitors in this category have some. light bleed. It's not bad enough to return as I am not bothered by it, but Dells 3 year warranty makes it so I can return it at any point. If I could do it all over again, I would not hesitate to purchase this monitor. If you are looking to get a great monitor at a decent price, this should be your pick.

I purchased this monitor for my work office and I get lots of compliments on the quality and resolution.

This is a great monitor, easy setup right out of the box. Beautiful display and well built.

By far best PC monitor I have ever owned....high resolution & large size make it a winner.

Pretty good value for anyone who needs maximum desktop space from only 1 monitor. My work laptop only has 1 HDMI out so this is perfect. - You can very easily setup 2 or 3 decent windows for work. - Only outputting at 50hz though so not sure if its a graphics problem. - Watched some 1440p widescreen youtube trailers. Looks pretty good, probably needs to be calibrated outta the box. - This model is more curved then the model before it which helps you keep everything in view. Overall 9/10 Would buy again!

When I bought this, I was focused solely on the description of it being a curved screen. I didn't really realize how absolutely ENOURMOUS this thing is until I picked it up from Best Buy and even the employee was just blown away at the sheer size of the thing. It was kind of hilarious, actually; we both thought it was a tv at first. This monitor is absolutely amazing. The sheer screen space is insane. The only issues I have is that the thing was too large for the desk I owned so I had to set up a temporary card table until I can find a more suitable sized desk. That, and the fact that literally any other monitor I ever use now seems absolutely puny in comparison.

After a long hours researching, I chose the Dell U3417W for my home office use as a software developer and web designer. I could not be more please with the image quality, ease of use, and performance of the monitor. It is the perfect single screen to use as a multi-monitor application (use one monitor to act as two with split screen). I have the monitor running through a CalDigit thunderbolt 2 docking station to my MacBook Pro Retina and the integration was seamless. The USB3 ports on the monitor are an added convenience and work flawlessly. I have tested the image quality via the HDMI and it works well too.

love this monitor. works great and I do not have to have two monitors. I can have several programs visible on the screen at one time. great for spreadsheets.

This is the second one I have purchased, The graphics are terrific and the overall screen appearance is excellent. Does not come with an HDMI cable.

I love this monitor...size, clarity, sound, everything. It also tilts and adjusts up and done. Great for your neck

This monitor is one of the best I've ever used. Needs virtually no calibration. Almost perfect right out of the box. Very little light bloom in the corners but kind of expected with this type of panel. Viewing angles are great and the built quality is top notch.

I thoroughly enjoy using this monitor. I'm contemplating upgrading my 27" Apple display at work with this model as well. The 34" widescreen let's you multi-task on two or more things at once without the bezel or unnecessary width of side-by-side displays. I'm impressed by the build quality and aesthetics as well. It's fairly seamless interface with my MacBook Pro but occasionally it won't recognize my laptop after going to sleep or upon disconnecting/reconnecting. Unplugging and opening solves the problem. I was on the fence about whether to spend this much on a monitor and was considering two 24" or 27" monitors instead. This display felt over-the-top when I pulled it out of the box, but after using it for a couple of days I'm glad I went this direction. I've been using the monitor for the last month and a half and won't be looking back.

This screen is very immersive. Imo a much better solution than two monitors.

I bought this open box item at black Friday. Very good deal. It is 34 inch 4K with curve screen, which is best fit for my wife whose work depends heavily on the Microsoft excel.

From a longtime, dual monitor user. I am now a proponent of ultra wide. If you edit videos or photos, the real estate on this thing allows you to see all your editing needs in one place. Minus one star to Dell for not providing support/drivers for Mac. Still, gorgeous display for any computer (as long as it can do 4k).
