Dell Work From Home Solution - Dell U3419W 34" UltraSharp curved display 

Thank you so much for making this video, I bought this monitor and can't find info in almost any place, I was worried about not beeing a good monitor or just beeing a small monitor. Great video !

This video convinced my customer to buy one of these. Thanks for posting!

Wow. most practical video on a ultrawide monitor setup I have seen so far. Super helpful!! Thank you:)

This video really nailed it for me with what a wide screen Dell monitor can do insofar as some of its real functionality. So little real info on the internet, and this one opened my eyes. I want one now.

Hey Michael , thank you so much for such a crisp and to the point demo of the ultrawide . I browsed through a lot of videos , but only you could actually elaborate on how to achieve multitasking . cheers !

Saved the day for me. It was exactly what I was looking for from an ultra wide monitor with dual computers.

Just got this monitor for my work today. I cant wait. No more two monitors to complete tasks. Game changer for the current position im in!!!!

That was nice. I have been working at home off & on for the last eight months and I didn't know my Dell U3919DW could do that. Thanks Go Browns!

Fantastic review.. I've been looking for a monitor that will reduce eyestrain...nobody ever talks about it in large curved monitors.

really exactly the review i needed. Its beautiful that you can switch inputs on a screen, bought a switch to do that work..

You are a team DELL guy, not bad having matching devices :) Got the same monitor myself :)

Fantastic review. That's the kind of information that I need to know! I'm confident I can do what I need to do with my home office after watching this video. Thank You!

A real world review, focused on the benefits of such a screen for a home/office worker, rather than a gamer or creator. It has convinced me to go this way. Thank you Michael. One question - you look to be sitting about as close as I would be to my laptop screen (around an arm's length away). I presume you find that a comfortable distance on the eyes, even for such a large screen?

I love the KVM functionality of this machine and I have one PC connected by USB-C and two via HDMI all of which switch easily. But I’ve had three of these monitors all of which exhibit bad back light bleed and they are very fragile with the screen so easy to damage. So I use it but it’s limited in a number of ways.

Awesome vid! You displayed perfect examples of what it can do!.

fantastic to watch a video for work, functionality. This video really helps a lot! thank you! :D every youtuber only shows components for games, gamer, just games, just a few for workstation and productivity.

Awesome review and loved the dual display features!

Thanks for this video, this is exactly the kind of setup I need and its helped me decide what monitor to buy.

Thanks for the review. Finally something about the KVM that's not gaming. I need a work/home solution and think this will work great thanks.

Thanks for the helpful video - watched it on my Dell S3423DWC as I was trying to work out how the KVM works!

Thank you for great review and showing how kvm works in practice. I am remote working and kvm is must have in a monitor. Also I was considering Philips 346P1CRH, but what ive red kvm must switch from a menu, which defeats the purpose.

Amazing content bro !! Keep it coming !!

Thank you, this is quite helpful. I usually do remote desktop to my work machines and definitely can use more space.

Wow, amazing. I didn't know a monitor exists that can display content from 2 separate laptop computers at the same time, that's super slick! Currently my setup is using a Philips 27" 4K monitor whereby I'm using a separate laptop for work and another laptop for personal. I use an HDMI switcher device (Insignia brand from Best Buy) with 3 HDMI ports whereby I need to press the button on the switcher (not splitter) to toggle between HDMI port 1 for my work laptop and port 2 for my personal. There is usually a few long seconds of delay before the next laptop shows up on the monitor when switching between different ports. I also use the Logitech MX Keys keyboard that has Bluetooth pairing for 3 different devices, so that means I need to press a button for the keyboard to pair with my work computer, or press a different button to pair with my personal computer. But it appears the Dell monitor can show content from 2 separate laptops, plus can pair the same keyboard for the 2 separate laptops. That's just too cool!! My only slight concern is this curved design, which I've never had a curved monitor before. But I've been reading that many users quickly adapt to the curved design with no problem.

I learned a ton in this short video. Thank you!

Wow you showed me some new stuff i didnt even know existed!!!! Thank you!

One of the best reviews !

Great video Michael, I liked it so much that it was the main reason I purchased the Dell C3422WE and I love it. The only disappointing thing was that there was no documentation on how to download, setup and use the Dell Display Manager. Can you create a video on how you create those shortcuts with the application and other tips and trick? Also, it would have been nice for the monitor to support Bluetooth. In other words, I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and I could not sync them to the monitor directly, so I had to buy another keyboard/mouse combo with a USB wireless receiver.

Great, concise video. Thanks a whole lot

Definitely buying this monitor after seeing your review. Thanks bud!

Hi MIchael. After this review I went ahead and purchased one of these monitors. I'm trying to setup the PIP view the same way what you have done at 6:58sec into your video but I can't seem to figure out the scaling. When switching to PIP using the Display Manager, both inputs are showing up on the screen in 21:9 aspect ratio instead of full screen. Is there any additional setting that I need to adjust in order to stretch both inputs to 4:3 the way had it done automatically? I'd appreciate your comment. thanks!

Great review!

Thank you for your useful review! I'm going to buy the model!

Really cool wallpaper.

Just subscribe love dell products and I been thinking about getting this monitor for my remote job so thank you for the review!

Outstanding review bro!!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I will be using your same set up.

Thanks for posting! Very informative and helpful video.

Fantastic, thank you for sharing.

Really owesome video! I works in Excel too. Now I know what monitor i need for work. Thank you so much.

Amazing! Could record a video showing how you created that short cut to jump from your laptop to your desktop pc?

Wow. Very informative! Thank you!

Hi Michael, at this moment i have 2 laptop: Dell Latitue 7290 with HDMI port ( for work ) & Asus Zenbook with HDMI port ( for personal activities ). I'm planning to buy monitor for work the same time in 1 monitor as your video shown. Can you advise me which equipment i need to purchased for my purpose? ( monitor ( 34" ), keyboard, mouse, KVM... ). Hope to recieved your advise soon.

Thanks- I'm getting one!

That's amazing! I just ordered Dell U2723QE 27' inch 4K

Great overview!

Thanks Mike! Appreciate it.

By chance can you slide documents over from the split screen view and move your spreadsheet file to the home computer by just dragging it with the mouse? I am looking for a product to eliminate all the monitors and the stands and wiring for a clean functional look. I am able to now work from home and I've got 3 monitors at work. Also what is the minimum OS for this technology. Thanks

I seem to have lost my power supply to the screen itself - do you have any details on what kind of cable I need to buy in order to get this up and running again? Can't seem to find much information on what I will require.

Thanks For This Video, Very Informative

Great demonstration.

Hi Michael, great reviews you’ve been adding on the channel. I’m wondering if this setup will work for my work (pc) and personal (Mac) which are both USB-C. Is it possible to connect & power both via the monitor?

For the none laptop computer is that connected thru usb and displayport?

lots of useful info! Thanks...and go Browns

Hello, does the picture by picture mode also works if I have connected one more monitor via DP MST? =>so PC1( via USB C to U3419W) is shown on Dell U3419W and PC2 (via DP and USB B to U3419W) connected to Monitor 2 (via DP to U3419W)

Hey Michael well done for your video , could tell me please the mane different between P3421we and U3421 monitor , both monitors are 99% srgb color.

I have the Dell UltraSharp 49 Curved Monitor-U4919DW, and have my MacBook hooked up to the USB-C, and my work PC plugged into the HDMI 1. I have figured out how to split the screen, but I am having trouble figuring out the KVM keyboard/mouse shortcut to switch control back and forth? Is there a video that shows how to do this? Thanks.

Excellent review!

Hey Michael, thanks for an review, is it the function come with the Dell UltraSharp or the keyboard to switch different computer?

Very infirmative, didn't know of working together on home and office laptop. This model is not available now, does this newer model S3422DWG have the same feature?

So amazing!!! I have a quesion: if I connect 2 laptops (A & B) to Dell, and split Dell as 2 screens (1 use as extend monitor for laptop A, another 1 use as duplicate monitor for laptop B) and can use 2 screens at the same time?

I have noticed that the KVM feature is not available on my Dell Display Manager app. Monitor (Dell S3422DWG) running Windows 11

Excellent video. I have a question. Like you I have a home PC and a work laptop. I am not allowed to install software on my work laptop. Does the Dell display manager need to be installed on both or can it be installed on only my home PC in order to view both?

Mike, thanks for the great review. Does the KVM software work with Mac OS? I'd like to have my work Dell laptop connected as well as my MacBook Pro. Just wondering if the display manager will hand off to the MacBook and then hand back to the Dell laptop.

Thanks for the informative review. When running picture by picture, must you press a shortcut key to swap the keyboard/mouse input between computers or is there a way for it to flow between two computers seamlessly?

Thanks Michael for this great video. Very comprehensive demonstration. When you share the screen in half to have two PCs at the same time, is there a technical limitation for the display manager to automatically switch the keyboard between the PCs based on the location of the location of the mouse on the screen?

Thank you for the review! I am looking at a similar setup. What happens to the sound if you have both PC and Laptop connected? Can you project audio from both PC and Laptop at the same time?

Great video, thanks. My pc only has usb-2 connectors, though (it's old but unused for four years). Does that mean I can't use it with this (or, if so, that quality will be compromised)?

I am wanting a monitor to use for photo editing. My photographer friends say I need a 4K monitor, but I really like what this monitor has to offer. What am I missing out on by using this monitor over a 4K monitor please?

How to connect wireless mouse nd keyboard with Dell kvm monitor..plz help it need it

can you show a backlight on black wallpaper?

Great video; well explained and to the point! I have 2 computers and want to take advantage of the KVM; i.e. using 1 wireless keyboard & mouse for both computers. I would simply hook up my computers via HDMI and the keyboard dongle on the monitor's USB port? Also; can I hook up a printer to the monitor and have it shared between computers?

Great video! I would like to know if it's possible to share the same webcam like we do with the keyboard and the mouse?

Has anyone used it with a MacBook M1? Does the power delivery work correctly through the usb-c port? Thank you

Would you recommend a 38 inch over a 34 inch for productivity? I want to have a proper zoom call where I can see what's being shared for reports etc clearly and have my own tab open to work as well.

I work from home as well. I have dual monitor setup, but would love the get one of these ultra wide screens and run 4 programs at a time example 4 excel sheets at a time. Is it possible with this monitor? Or would the programs be two small?

Just found your video as I'm researching how to clean up my home office space. I have been a power user at work with 3 x 24" monitors, but recently downsized to 2 monitors. I've seen the new 34" with the USB-C and was wondering if I could connect a home computer as well as my work laptop. I just kept saying "this is what I want!" I also appreciate the tips on Dell Display Monitor as having the monitor act as 2 screens, having both computer & laptop up simultaneously, and the other tips is perfect. My only question is that I do alot of MS Teams meetings throughout the day. If you separate the screen into the 2 sections, and you were to share a screen on MS Teams, does it share the entire monitor or does it recognize the 2 different windows? Others who have the wide monitor haven't done anything and it shares the entire screen and creates a smaller image in the MS Teams display (and the only thing keeping me thinking of doing 2 x 27" Dell monitors). Do you have any thoughts on that, or have you tested it? Otherwise, great and informative video. Thanks Michael!

I am just now seeing your video, My question is, can you have the same set up with 4 or more monitor's I ahve a Dell Latitude 5490 and a Dell XPS 8930 system, Would like to set up 4 or maybe 6 monitors, so I can split three and three for work and home, then when I am not working use all 4 or 6 for home.

nice work station!!

Hi Michael, I have two questions. 1) do I need to install software on my work laptop (windows 10) to get the split screen functionality? As you no doubt know, the process of having IT go through this makes it almost a nogo. 2) How does this work having one machine as a mac, and another as Windows - thinking not just from a display perspective but also USB connectivity? Thanks and great review.

Very good explanatory video! I want to use the P3421W monitor to connect my home PC as well as my office PC. My office PC would be connected via USB C and my home PC would then be connected via DisplayPort. To use the KVM function (to have only one keyboard /mouse and switch between the 2 PCs everything that is connected by USB to the monitor) I must also connect the USB uplink to the home PC? Is my understanding correct? I am unable to install DDM on the office PC. I can then switch between the 2 PCs via the OSD of the screen? Is it direct or does it take several "clicks" - how much less easy than with DDM?

Does display manager work on linux?

Really need your help with the monitor, So basically I use to work with two screens connected to dell docking station , now that I got this screen Ive noticed I can use the screen ports as a docking, LAN , DONGELS andmore connected to it and it takes only one usbc port to my computer , now , how can I connect second monitor to the system withour connecting the disply port to my computer directly? I tried to connect the disply port between the two screens but it won't work.

Great video - very informative. Quick question, can the monitor power two Dell Precisions 5540 workstation laptops? I have a personal and a work machine that are identical.

Great Review! Exactly the functionality I am looking for. Buuuut, I am running on 2 Macs, does the Dell display manager exists in Apple-Land?

Hey Michael, thanks for your video. Short question: Is the Dell Display Manager available for Linux? One of my pc's would run that os.

How are the keyboard and the mouse connected? Directly to the monitor and the monitor has a separate USB cable running to the desktop and the laptop?

Good video. Rich people have all the fun

Hi Mike, thanks for the video. I have an Asus Zenbook UX461UA that I am trying to connect to a Dell U3421we monitor. Currently, I have the laptop connected to the monitor using an HDMI and a USB 5 gbps. I am not sure if this is the right way to connect, but I am using the USB 5 gbps because this is the only way my wireless mouse and keyboard seem to work (connected directly to monitor). Lastly, and the issue I am phasing here, is that the screen looks really stretched on the dell monitor. Any idea why that may be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the desktop that isn’t using usb c I assume their is a downstream cable to the desktop? Is that how you can switch between the two computers and use the same mouse and keyboard?

I have a new Dell ultrasharp monitor using it with Macbook pro and having some issues. My question: There is available a monitor firmware for both Windows and Mac operation systems. When coming out of factory are they loaded only with Windows firmware or with both installed to the monitor. Thanks!

I’ve got the same monitor! But I just don’t know how to set the shortcuts to change the input(home and work pc). Neither the Picture in Picture shortcut… could you please make a video explaining it or maybe text a reply to this comment? THANK YOU!!!

Would've liked to see if the PBP mode also adjust the aspect ratio when you changed the resolutions of the input source (e.g. having one source in a 16:9 res + another in a 5:9 res), that's the only reason I landed on this video.

Hi Michael does the MacBook Pro Windows functionality sharing mouse and keyboard work on the P3421W? for someone reason my dell display manager app will not open properly on my MacBook.

I need to purchase several monitors for my office. Deciding between the Dell C3422WE and U3421WE. Are the panels the same, UltraSharp is not listed on the conference model. Also, do both support the new DDM release for Mac?

I saw a video where you could move between 2 PC's without shortcut, seamless transfer?

great video ! does the USB-C need to be connected in order for the USB-A connections on the monitor to work? In other words if I don't have a USB-C connected to the monitor will I still be able to connect my keyboard and mouse to the back of the monitor and will act as a hub?

And do I need to have a Dell Keyboard and mouse to get the utility or unity rather that you have between your work and home computers?

Great review! Just one question: how to connect mouse and keyboard to work for both computers?

This is very nice, I have the S3220DGF 165hz monitor and I love it, I ditched having 2 monitors and it was a nice way to clean my desk up. Do I think multiple monitors are better? Yes and no. My wife does prefer having 3 screens for work which I can see why. Do they have this ability on the smaller 24/27" monitors and can we do this type of multi pc kvm setup with having 3 screens?
