Upgrade from 30" 16:10 to 34" WS Monitor

Petrolhead · 21 Feb 2016 at 20:36

I currently have a Dell 30" U3011 monitor and I fancy a wide screen 34" monitor.

There seem to be a few around however my budget is £650.

The contenders at this price are:

Dell U3415W
LG 34UC97C, apparently the LG 34UC87C has height adjustment but not available here any more. It looks very similar to the dell tho
Samsung S34E790C

Its used for video editing, photo editing, watching movies and a lot of browsing. Re browsing one thing that appeals is having three website open side by side (I view at 150%)

Any advice which one to buy

I have the dell 3415 and its a cracking screen. You will be losing height compared to a 30" 16:10.

Yes I know but I feel width is more important (Oh matron :eek:

)

Can you do me a favour and open 3 instances of the OC forum and put them side by side and take a screen shot and post please

Out of interest whats the view of curved vs flat 34 WS monitors

Reason I ask is the AOC U3477Pqu is a competitive price
