TN panels for example will have those colour shifts on the side even when you're not looking at the screen at an angle. Even when looking straight into such a wide screen, there aren't any colour shifting on the sides. Colours appear to be reproduced evenly across the screen. I also measured 77% Adobe RGB and 72% NTSC. I measured 100% sRGB colour gamut support with the Spyder5PRO calibrator. The monitor is advertised to support 99% sRGB gamut. Those would have large black borders all around. Some 2.33:1 content on Youtube are formatted for the 16:9 aspect ratio. Watching 16:9 content on Youtube, which basically means most content on Youtube, will give you black bars on the sides which can be quite distracting, more distracting compared to horizontal black bars. Most graphics drawing tablet nowadays are designed for 16:9 screens. However, if you're using a tablet, such as a Wacom tablet, to map that tablet to the whole screen would mean you are not going to maximise the whole working surface area on the tablet. There are plenty of horizontal space for the palettes. This also has the effect of making your main photo look smaller because it's now squashed vertically.ĭoing page layout or graphic design isn't really too bad. Working on a 3:2, 4:3 or even 16:9 photo will leave significant empty space on the sides. This 21:9 aspect ratio does not work well when editing photos with Adobe Lightroom.

The extra pixels really help with productivity.įor example in Final Cut Pro, a Mac video editing software, I rarely have to scroll to see my clips or all the stuff in the time line. Basically, with more resolution, I was able to see more of my working space and content and the user interface. The 2560 by 1440 monitor offers 33% more resolution. Switching over to 2560 by 1080 feels like a major step backwards to me. My main monitor uses 2560 by 1440 resolution. More specifically, I use my monitor for graphic design, video and photo editing and writing. My review is from someone who uses a monitor for content creation. Is it good for designers and content creators? Who is this monitor for?īecause of the extra wide aspect ratio, this monitor is more suitable for people who game or watch a lot of 2.33 aspect ratio films, and also want a monitor that has good colour reproduction. Most importantly, the screen looks sharp. If there wasn't any mention, I won't even know it's there. The matte surface is said to be some anti-glare. The bottom bezel protrudes out slightly and is thicker. The bezel on the top and sides are flushed to the screen. You can do the PIP feature if you want to.īezel is not as small compared to the Dell U2716D or U2717D. The power light indicator is small and not obtrusive. Power switch and menu buttons are at the bottom right, facing downwards. These are the two USB 3 ports on the left side of the monitor.

There's a full size DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort out, 3.5mm headphone jack, 1x USB3 upstream, 2 HDMI and 4 USB3 (two on the side). The monitor still has a sizeable thickness from front to back, but not too different from other brands of IPS LED monitors. You should be able to use a VESA arm if you want. It has the matte surface finishing to the body and the screen.
Build quality and designīuild quality of Dell monitors are usually very good.
The resolution it uses is 2560 x 1080 vs 3440 x 1440 of its larger brother. The U2917W is a flat screen monitor unlike the U3517W which is curved. Below's the specs list comparing the two. More on that later.Ĭurrently, the extra wide monitors that Dell sells are the U3417 (which replaces the earlier U3415W) and the smaller U2917W (which replaces the earlier U2913WM). Because of the work I do, even after using this monitor for 2 weeks, hours each day, I have not gotten used to the extra wide aspect ratio yet, and I doubt I ever will. I would like to start this review by saying that you should get a monitor for the type of work you do. My preference is for 16:9 or 16:10 monitors.Īs usual, my review is from the perspective of an artist, graphic designer, photo and video editor. This is my first time using an extra wide monitor with an aspect ratio of 21:9 (that's like 2.33 in the film world). Dell Singapore has loaned me another monitor to review and this time it's the Dell U2917W.
