aaaaaaaand it arrived today!!

I have no picture to show, but here's what I thought (First Impression from a non-gamer).

Build Quality =
A bit filmsy. When I use menu buttons and all that, the whole thing kinda wobble. I'm not sure which is better, V-stand or big fat flat stand, but I think V-stand might give better support. Then what is bad in my book? Back in the days, Samsung sell a very wobbly LCD monitor. That is bad. I'll never forget it, because that's what most CC uses.

Things in box =
I am a big fan when supplier/manufacturer includes display cables. This comes with 1x DP, and 2x HDMI. +1 in my book <3

Ports on monitor =
Again, big fan. Saves me the trouble plugging in-n-out from CPU case. +1

Screen real estate =
It's (almost) edge-to-edge display. I like it!

Curvy screen =
It's my first time using it, and my daily driver is a macbook pro. Scrolling window side-to-side is very... comfortable. It feels like Spider-Man scrolling an interface when he's making a new suit.

Screen quality/color =
Ah, the elephant in the room! Honestly, it is true that the color setting out of the box is pretty bad (Standard setting). But I find the default custom settings are quite good, at least the white looks pretty white to me! (default custom setting has everything in 50%. 50%RGB 50%CMY etc )
Black is very black. My MBP can only output 1080p via HDMI, so I have leftover screen real estate on both sides, and I get to compare the black on the side. It looks like they're the same (97% ish or more, I feel)
I am getting a Thunderbolt2 DP cable, and that should allow me to use the entire glory of this monitor.
Then what about black smearing?!
I haven't experience anything like that just yet :/ It wasn't as obvious to me.

Verdict:
At a RM1900(Dell Malaysia website) price point, it is actually a decent buy. I like how it looks, how it feels, and the extra functions it provided. Getting the right color can be a pain in the ass, but it is definitely not the end of the world.

Hi bro, just wondering which website u bought for the price 1.9k? I checked currently thay model is price bout 2.2k. or the price already increased? Shopee also selling around this proce,with 4years warranty.

Also question to veteran ultrawide user, im planning to change my current prism x340 pro to this dell s3422dwg, but wonder my current ultrawide is 1500r curve, and the dell is 1800r, which is better? I bought my prism+ in January 2021. My biggest issues with this monitor is the edgelight bleed, and also glow in dark scenes. The color is quite good for me, the hdr somewhat dim in certain games, also yellowish. It used to be flickering a lot when enable gsync, it was really bothersome, but recently i notice currently the flickering is lot less to almost gone which is very good, i believe Nvidia has something to do with it.
