Received and installed monitor arm ( loctek ) for my X34A, from taobao 259 yuan ( rm160 ), shipping rm55
Finally freed up space below monitor. also moved monitor further back to have more comfortable viewing distance.

My screen size upgrade path: 23" > 24" > 27" and now 34" UltraWide.
No turning back now smile.gif

I think when choosing UltraWide, take into consideration on your table length and width. When I bought my U3415W, I underestimated the width and had to move my printer a little further away from the desk.

nice upgrade path.  I upgraded from 24">27">30">34" ultrawide which is not ideal coz i still cannot forget the great height of Dell 30" at 16:9.  After using 34" UW for more than a year, my brain still cannot get use to the short height of the 34" UW compared to 30" 16:9.  rclxub.gif  Maybe the extra wide keep playing trick in my brain.  laugh.gif

Oh yeah, I tested the U3014 before, its "gigantic" in my opinion. Lots of vertical space and less scrolling. But I think I've settled in for 21:9 d.
Some annoying things I find when using 21:9 is that most media is 16:9 and u get the black bars on the sides. Not a show stopper for me. I just like having the extra width. Gaming looks good also.

a question, can ultrawide monitor split screen?

i am thinking whether to get 2nd monitor or one UW monitor?

My purpose is to multitask (gaming + web surfing) at the same time

please advise biggrin.gif

Yes, u can do split (2 windows side by side) and as pointed by forumer above, with LG or Dell monitor app, u can even do multi screen of different sizes.

I would get an UltraWide monitor. Less clutter, cabling and it looks sleek on your desk also thumbup.gif

The Dell P3418HW 34" UltraWide is less than 3k but the resolution is only 2560x1080. Not WQHD sad.gif

i always see those 34 inch ultrawide monitor
but they come with full hd
not sure weird or not

Personally, I prefer 1440p resolution on the U3415W. 1080p resolution will make the screen looks stretched out a little.
It's more of a personal preference I think.

Can't find any proper review of the P3418HW on YouTube but here's an overview video from Dell.

so embarrassing for HP Malaysia.

Checked and found few sources that stat it's 21:9 ( which should be correct for 3440 x 1440 )

I'm not very fond of HP monitors but I noticed on the data sheet it says only 1 Year warranty.

What the heck.

Will be interesting to see the pricing of this model in Malaysia.
The current online/retail price AW3418DW is going for RM 4,429 at the moment.
