What is the best alternative to&#x20;Dell P2815Q?

For photo editing:Yes

Good image quality due to IPS (In-Plane Switching) LED backlit panel made by LG in Korea with 6ms response time and standard 1000:1 contrast ratio and 8-bit colors. This is the same LG IPS panel used in Apple displays, but sold at a fraction of what Apple charges. See More

Lack of support for ultra-widescreen in (old) games

A handful of games do not support 21:9 aspect ratio by default. Some examples are Overwatch, Fallout 3, and Starcraft 2.

White glow on dark screens

As with most IPS displays, a white glow can appear around the edges at certain angles for dark images. This is caused by the backlight used in IPS displays, but is only visible in a dark room when the image on the screen is dark. See More

Top Pro

Good screen uniformity

The display on the 34UM95 provides good uniformity in terms of brightness. The image is nearly symmetrical, and only has a noticeable deviation in the top corners. About 75% of the display is within 5% brightness of the middle set point. See More

Top Con

Little adjustment ability

The stand is basic, and only allows for tilt. To adjust the height, you need to unscrew the base, and then re-screw it into the other holes which only adjusts the height a minimal amount. There is no swivel or rotate abilities. See More

Top Pro

Great viewing angles

As expected with an IPS screen, viewing angles were great. Not major color shifting occurred until 45 degrees - then the image got a bit darker. See More

Top Pro

Joystick menu control

Instead of separate buttons, there is a single joystick (located in the middle just below the LG logo) which is used to navigate the menus. It can be pushed in 4 directions (up/down/left/right) and can be pushed in which acts as the selection. It is easy to use, and easy to find even in the dark. See More

Top Pro

Great for productivity

The 21:9 aspect ratio is aimed at productivity users. It fits two programs side-by-side much better than regular wide monitors (16:9), and is pretty much equivalent to a dual monitor layout without adding more displays which requires a powerful GPU. Viewing ultrawide content is fantastic - although not all movies or games make use of the extra space available meaning you could see some vertical black bars on the left and right edges. See More

Futureproof ports

Thunderbolt 2 is a new technology that allows for high resolution displays as well as insane data transfer speeds at the same time through a single port. See More

Top Pro

Standard ports

A single USB 3.0 port allows for very fast data transfer. It is supplemented by 2 USB 2.0 ports which can be used for less data hungry applications such as a keyboard and mouse. See More

60Hz is the standard refresh rate for monitors, but not all high resolution monitors are capable of 60Hz. Even with the high resolution, 60Hz is still possible providing you have the right cables. See More

Top Pro

Decent built-in speakers

The speakers get loud, and offer good quality audio. There are 2 7W speakers facing downward in the bottom bezel. They won't compete with dedicated speakers, but for most users the benefit of less hardware and cables on the desk will outweigh the performance improvement of dedicated speakers. The monitor is very wide (you could say 'ultrawide'), and already takes up lots of horizontal space on desks leaving less room for speakers anyways. See More

Top Con

Maximum refresh rate limited to 75 Hz, less ideal for fast-paced action

The maximum supported refresh rate of this monitor is 75 Hz or 75 frames per second which is a tad faster than non-Freesync monitors, but is not as good as 120 or 144 Hz displays. Especially fast-paced games benefit from a higher refresh rate, for a more fluid gaming experience. See More

Top Pro

Thin bezel makes it ideal for multi-screen setups

The bezel of this display measures a thin 17 mm, which doesn't only result in a smaller build, but it makes the U2879VF also more suitable for multi-display setups. See More

Top Con

4K resolution doesn't scale well with all software

Due to the native 4K resolution and the relatively small 28 inch screen size, text can be hard to read in Windows and other non-gaming environments, such as Adobe's software. Not everything scales well in 4K (yet). See More

Excellent grayscales in sRGB preset, great for graphical work

When using the sRGB preset - which is particularly useful for graphical editing - the grayscale error readings of the U2879VF are quite low for a relatively inexpensive panel. The error measures was 0.93 Delta E - that's only a tad worse than specific graphical displays which retail for a much larger price. For comparison, a standard 28" TN panel measures at 1.60 Delta E. (Lower is better.) See More

Top Con

Extremely sharp

The AOC U2879VF uses a 4K-display with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels, which is four times the amount of pixels of a Full HD display. This results in an extremely sharp image and overall great image quality. In terms of pixel density (measured in pixels per inch), this display measures at 163 ppi. For comparison - a Full HD display of the same size will only achieve half of that - 81.5 pixels per inch. See More
