Dell S2721DGF vs S3422DWG

[beerglass007]

Hi All

Currently using a Dell S2721DGF IPS monitor with a RTX3080 which has been amazing. Use the monitor for office work on a Windows 10 laptop and light gaming on the PC rig

I have started to look at Ultra Wide monitors so that I have more screen estate for work/coding etc and wondered about the Dell S3422DWG VA panel

Has anyone jumped from a standard 2K monitor to Ultra Wide and anyone gone from IPS back to VA and noticed any ghosting in games or better blacks ?

Thanks

4K would increase screen real estate lot better.
Especially by adding vertical resolution:
Scrolling up and down must be very familiar with any longer piece of code or text.


As for panel type differences, if you maintain decent room illumination, VA's higher contrast/better black doesn't show much.
And in office level room illumination about zero.
It's lower room illumination/darkened room, where VA "shines" with its higher contrast/better black.

As for VA's "black smear", actually working is one of those situations when it can show easily.
Scrolling content on black/dark background is precisely situation where it appears:

IPS vs VA side by side comparison: LG 27GL850 vs Viewsonic VX3268-2KPC

Edit: A lot of comments have talked about how this is an unfair comparison, and that's absolutely right. I've made a followup video comparing to the G7 here....

I looked at 4K but only have a 3080 and gaming at 4K will drop the frame rate, so felt 2K is the perfect res

For light gaming 3080 shouldn't have real problems at 4K.
Higher resolution/pixel density would allow also lowering settings, like especially anti-aliasing.

And then there are scaling techniques.

I play AAA titles so doubt a 3080 would get the FPS required on a 4K

or just rotate the monitor and portrait mode

I have a s3422dwg and I don't notice any ghosting

How do you find it ? Good monitor ?
