How much did you buy yours for?2kaccordcoupe wrote: ↑ Excellent monitor. I have been using the previous model 3818dw since 2018 as my daily screen. Love it.
Complaining a monitor doesn't have enough usable area, when running it at 150%.... Well, that just makes very little sense.
2x32 may be great for you, but not everyone is you. The problems you mentioned are good to share as someone else may actually share those, but telling everyone it’s a crappy buy is wrong.shylok wrote: ↑ It sucked. Happier with 32in 4k and 43inch 4k ones I bought after.
I use it for work purposes, spreadsheets, web etc. It doesn't replace two 27in, which was my standard before upgrading to the 38. Ending up giving it to the wife for her office.
Waste of money IMHO. More usable area in the 32in 4k model, maybe not technically but from a using them.. I'd be ok with 3x 32in. Ended up with 1 32in, 2x43in. Seems excessive but with the detailed construction plans and pdfs, web, email, notes, maps all that up at the same time at your fingertips is great.
Also using 150% scaling because my eyes aren't what they used to be.
I would not recommend this monitor. Buy two 32in instead.
Assuming I ran the 38in at 150 is your problem not mine. Lol. Because I didn't.OneAndTrueHeir wrote: ↑ Complaining a monitor doesn't have enough usable area, when running it at 150%.... Well, that just makes very little sense.
For me, the pixel pitch of this is ideal for 100% scaling, and no bezels from two separate monitors makes it better for a combination of single-task and dual- or triple-task work. When doing a single task on dual monitors, you are either turning your head, or have the second monitor off to the side.
The only time it is odd is for lazy times when I just have one website open under Windows 10 - looks a bit silly with soooo much space to either side, and snapping to one side isn't great. But now with the better centre snap options in Windows 11 I usually work in three columns, and it is much more efficient.
Used a 43" 4k then went to UW38", 43" 4k is horrible for perspective, things at the upper corner are very distorted. With 38" you don't need to sit too far, saves a lot of space.shylok wrote: ↑ It sucked. Happier with 32in 4k and 43inch 4k ones I bought after.

We don't play game.
Virtually identical in quality and features, except the 38 is 38" and the 34 is 34". Seems silly to say, but that's the difference.
Interesting - I actually like that there isn't much curve to the screen, just my personal preference I guess.
Hahah oh man, I'm in the same boat!OneAndTrueHeir wrote: ↑ Note that in terms of actual screen area, the 38 is ~25% larger. It is also more imposing, so desk space and viewing distance is a consideration! But if you can fit the 38 I think it is worth it. I switched from the U3419 to the U3821, and was very pleased with the change.
