Pros
Pro Great for multi-monitor setups
There are 2 DisplayPort inputs and 1 DisplayPort output so you can show simultaneously on multiple daisy-chained displays.
Pro Professional-level image quality
Viewsonic VP2772 has excellent image quality. It is designed to have professional-level imaging with 10-bit panel, 12-bit color engine and a 14-bit LUT.

Allows using the monitor both in vertical and horizontal positions.
Pro Good adjustment options
You can adjust the height by 150mm, tilt from -5° to 23° and rotation by 120°.
Pro Stable base
The base stand is stable and can be raised by 135mm.
Pro Good selection of ports
VP2772 has HDMI, DVI, Thunderbolt, 4 USB 3.0 ports and DisplayPort v1.2 for daisy-chaining a second monitor.
Pro Designed for productivity
The 21:9 aspect ratio, 3440x1440 resolution adds horizontal space which helps with productivity. It allows for two apps to be open at the same time without turning them into a tall, skinny rectangle where you need to scroll back and forth (or, you could have 3 tall skinny windows open at once).
Pro Good adjustability
This monitor can be adjusted up or down 115cm, tilted up 21 degrees, down 5 degrees, or left/right 30 degrees. This lets you use the monitor comfortably in virtually every position.
Pro Light anti-glare coating
By using a light anti-glare (AG) coating, it prevents the screen from being too glossy, but without adding a grainy filter over the screen.
Pro Lots of ports
With an HDMI 2.0, MHL, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, and a DisplayPort out port for easy Daisychaining, the U3415W has lots of connectivity options.
It also has 4 USB 3.0 ports for connecting a mouse, keyboard, and other peripherals to the monitor instead of the computer, allowing for easier access.
Pro Immersive experience
The curved, ultrawide display really helps make the experience immersive. Any games or videos that support the resolution wrap around you, immersing you into the experience even more - especially for racing games or flight simulators.
Cons
Con Requires a pin to adjust height
There are more elegant solutions on the market that don't require a piece that can easily be lost.
Con Not all content is 21:9 compatible
Not all content will stretch well to fit the Ultrawide resolution. Games or videos that don't support the resolution will have vertical black bars on the left and right sides of the screen which take away the benefit of having an Ultrawide monitor.
