Ultrawide Curved Freesync Monitor

Long story short: analysis paralysis. Wanted the Apple XDR, but refuse to spend the money on it as I no longer edit professionally. I wanted an ultrawide flat, and refused to evaluate curved monitors. I was an architectural photo/video pro in a past life, straight lines were critical. I caught a couple of good reviews about this monitor on YT, so I did some digging. I considered going with 2x 27s, but that would have been overkill. Then apple came out with the new 27 Pro Display and that would have priced me out. So I landed at this ViewSonic. You already know the screen space is massive. Where this monitor crushes is color fidelity and the other important features. It's dead quiet, its colorful, its customizable, it's got tons of i/o, it's lightweight, and it's been highly reliable. I have it connected to a 2018 MBP through eGPU (that sometimes gives me hell) but otherwise, this monitor connects with ease. If you are on the fence between this and ANY other curved equivalent, consider this monitor from ViewSonic. I was pleasantly surprised. I nearly bought the new LG ultrawide before acquiring this, and I have zero regrets. Is it perfect? No. But, sub $1500, this monitor is a pleasure to sit behind for long business days, and fun post-production projects on my weekends.

I've been using the Dell UltraSharp 38 1600p Curved Monitor for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The expansive 38-inch curved display immerses you in your work or entertainment, providing a truly panoramic viewing experience. The 1600p resolution delivers stunning clarity and sharpness, making everything from text to images look incredibly detailed. One of the standout features of this monitor is its color accuracy. With 100% sRGB and 99% Rec709 color coverage, colors are vibrant and true to life, which is essential for my photo and video editing work. The factory calibration ensures that the colors are spot-on right out of the box. The curved design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It reduces eye strain and provides a more natural field of view, which is particularly beneficial during long working sessions. The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek, premium finish that complements any workspace. Connectivity options are plentiful with USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs, making it easy to connect multiple devices. The USB-C port also supports power delivery, which is a great convenience for charging my laptop while using the monitor. Ergonomics are well thought out, with adjustable height, tilt, and swivel options, ensuring that I can set up the monitor for maximum comfort. The on-screen display menu is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing for quick adjustments to settings. In summary, the Dell UltraSharp 38 1600p Curved Monitor is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to upgrade their display setup. Whether you're a creative professional or simply want an outstanding monitor for general use, this model delivers in every aspect. Highly recommended!

Bought 8 for our office. Using the grommet-mount for some and the edge-mount for others. Works with our 34" curved ultrawide monitors despite their weight exceeding official limits. The mount isn't tall enough to rotate the ultrawides into portrait orientation though. The users love the adjustability and silver look that matches our furniture. Here's a suggestion for the next generation mount. Make it possible to route cables through the desk grommet while also using the grommet mount.

I had hesitation to get a curved monitor, but took the chance and happy that I did.

I bought that monitor 1.5 months ago.. and i have 0 issue no flickering no ghosting. No nothing I have freesync on with out VRR enabled, if i use nvidia card than i turn adaptive sync with vrr on.

Holds my 35\ Ultrawide monitor (Acer Z35P) with ease."

Holds a heavy, ultra-wide, curved monitor very well.

I love this monitor! Even without out freesync etc. I think it performed better in the games I want to use it for (FPS) When I saw it didn’t have freesync I was a little concerned, but it performs incredibly. Color vibrancy really is nice once tuned. Dyac is nice but do note it does dim the screen quite a bit. I do think a 24’ is a lot better than a 27’ if your having problems deciding on your first monitor. Price point is perfect for a monitor with competitive capabilities!

Out of the box I was experiencing screen tearing, after enabling FreeSync from the monitor then on my AMD graphics card the picture quality improved dramatically. Works as advertised.

I was searching for a monitor to replace my aging HP ZR30w and wanted something similar in size but with much smaller bezels, true 4K resolution (1440p is too low for 32 IMHO), no-frills design, and FreeSync support, preferably with Low Framerate Compensation due to the 4K resolution. This monitor nails everything I was looking for and more. Not only does it have everything above, but it also has a fantastic stand (height/tilt/pivot/swivel), a hood you can optionally install to reduce glare, reduced blue-light mode to reduce eyestrain, and more. It also has little things like the ability to turn off the power-on LED and a great OSD design with full control. Oh, and it is perfectly calibrated from the factory to be considered a PRO monitor, it's primary use case which for me is just a bonus! Issues: Yes, it is not without quirks. One is a known issue when using a DisplayPort cable (which you must use to enable FreeSync) - basically, about once per day, the monitor will wink at you - blank out for about 1.5 seconds - and then come back on. Yes, this is weird, but since it only does it about once per day I can live with it, and I think a possible future firmware update might resolve it. It has a three-year warranty if it ever gets worse, so I will accept it given all the other virtues. The other flaw is related to long-term color bleeding at the edges that have been reported on this and other LG panels. I think it takes years for this to show up, and it isn't clear if it will affect all panels, but again with the warranty I'll take my chances - mine has zero bleed of any kind to my eyes. This monitor has an MSRP of over $1,000 which is high, and in the current market something around $750 is more appropriate, but at $569 is a tremendous value. There is a similar Dell for sale that is closer to $800 but does not have FreeSync! Go for this one!
