Fantastic Multitasking Monitor

I love this monitor. Anyone that works heavily in spreadsheets or has monitoring tools open at all times while doing all their other tasks like having a service queue or performance monitor while working on documentation would be well served by this. I honestly go back and forth on if I like this or the 49" ultrawide better.

Great monitor

Monitor is awesome! Size and resolution are great. Giving it 4 out of 5 only because I wish the monitor height was adjustable.

Game Changer

I don't know what took me so long so buy a big screen. It changed the way i worked. Increased productivity and less clutter in my home office (with 2 monitors). I enjoyed working with this monitor. Easy set up, clear screen. Highly recommended.

Quite the disappointment

The color/resolution on this monitor is fantastic. However, one of the primary reasons I purchased it was to use it to power my MacBook Pro, which wasn't happening, so I tried to update the firmware. It crashed during the update, and after weeks of back and forth with Dell, they've concluded that I need a replacement. And the hoops I've had to jump through to get a replacement (which still hasn't happened) are absurd. So I'm giving this monitor one star because, although it has the potential to be amazing, my experience has been quite the opposite. In the meantime, I can use it using DisplayPort, which works; it's just not why I paid a premium for this monitor.

The Hub Is Your Friend

Aside from the great video quality, the standout feature for me is the USB-C Hub. I am in the IT industry and I work across multiple computers all the time. The Hub allows for that to happen seamlessly and without issue. My first experience with the Hub was with the 34 inch version of this monitor and when it died due to multiple power surges from my power company, the only replacement that would do was the U3821DW. I simply unplugged all of my cables from the old monitor and plugged them in the new one and I was back in business as if nothing ever happened. Highly recommend this monitor for its clarity and brightness and if you have multi-computer needs like I do, this monitor is the way to go.

Massive improvement to my computing life!

I upgraded to the Dell U3821dw from a pair of 24 1920x1200 monitors. The improvement has been incredible, and I'm loving the extra vertical pixels. The picture is crisp and the colors are vivid. The docking capabilities of this display are very helpful. I removed so many cables from my desk when setting up this new display! In terms of computers, I alternate between a Macbook Pro and a Windows desktop PC. The Macbook, incredibly, now connects with a single USB-C cable, and with that I get charging, display, the USB hub, and a hardwired Ethernet connection. Nice. I don't use any of the monitor's auto-KVM intelligence, so I can't speak to its performance. But the monitor wakes up whenever I power on my PC or the Macbook. I'm never using both at the same time, so I'm happy. I am using this for web development, photo editing, and digital audio work. This monitor has made each of those endeavors way more enjoyable and efficient.

Dell 38 inch Curved Monitor

By Tom

The clarity is great. Was a bit concerned about the curve feature but after using it I can say it improves the overall experience.

Bring everything together

More screen to captivate you
See all of your work and multitask like you've always wanted with more onscreen space on this 37.5-inch ultrawide WQHD+ (3840 x 1600) curved screen. And with a vertical height of 1600 pixels, you can see more and scroll less.

A view that draws you in
The 2300R curved screen creates a wider field of view, minimizes reflection and offers near uniform visual focus, for a comfortable, panoramic, wrap-around view.

Consistent, vibrant colors
Expect consistent color and picture quality across a wide viewing angle, thanks to IPS technology. See true-to-life color with an incredible color depth of 1.07 billion colors and wide color coverage across industry standards, including 100% sRGB, 100% Rec. 709 and 95% DCI-P3. DCI-P3 (which offers nearly 25% more than coverage than sRGB), enables a wider range of colors and is quickly becoming the color standard for creating and viewing content.

Accurate color, out of the box
Your monitor is factory calibrated for accurate colors right from the start.

All-encompassing sound
Integrated dual 9W speakers deliver quality sound for an auditory experience that pulls you in even further.

Your productivity hub

Connect to productivity
With RJ45 and USB-C, your monitor serves as a productivity hub that delivers stable Ethernet and up to 90W of power delivery-all in a clutter-free setup.

Extensive connectivity
Easily connect to a variety of devices with a wide range of connectivity options, including DP1.4, HDMI and USB-C: a single-cable solution that transmits data and video while delivering up to 90W of power to charge a wide range of laptops. Plus, quick-access USB-C and super speed USB 5Gbpsi ports conveniently located at the front, enable fast connection to peripherals, such as storage devices and mobile phones, with a charging capability of up to 15W (via USB-C).

Enhanced manageability
MAC Address pass-through, PXE Boot, and Wake-on-LAN are conveniently built in.

Multitask efficiently
Connect two PC sources to the monitor-our intelligent Auto KVM feature detects the second connected PC and seamlessly switches controls over. View content from both PC sources with Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP). KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) allows you to control both PCs with a single keyboard and mouse.

Designed with you in mind

Beauty meets function
Crafted with a premium, platinum silver finish, this sleek monitor features a streamlined design that runs the cables through the monitor riser for a clutter-free setup. Plus, you can navigate the menu and adjust screen settings with the easy-to-use joystick control.

Comfort is key
Tilt, swivel and adjust the height of your monitor because you should be comfortable however and wherever you work.

Easy on the eyes
Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView, a feature that reduces harmful blue light emissions.

Dell Display Manager

Productive at every level
Easy Arrange allows you to easily tile multiple applications across one or more screens with 38 pre-set window partitions and the ability to personalize up to five windows, giving you improved multitasking abilities.

Seamless transitions
The auto-restore feature remembers where you left off, so applications will go back to where you left them, even after you've unplugged.

More ways to manage
Asset management reports allow IT managers to quickly capture and track monitor information as well as configure multiple monitors at once through a single setup.

The key to convenience
Shortcut keys can save you even more time, letting you easily configure your display management settings so you can get to work faster.

Green thinking: for today and tomorrow

Environmental standards
This monitor meets the latest regulatory and environmental standards such as EnergyStar and TCO, and is EPEAT Goldi registered.

Eco-conscious packaging
To reduce our manufacturing impact on the environment, this monitor is shipped Styrofoam-free and the packaging is made of at least 75% recycled cardboard.

Energy conservation
Save energy when your monitor is not in use with PowerNapi, a feature that dims or puts your monitor to sleep when it's not in use.

Advancing sustainability
Dell Technologies is committed to reducing environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
