Dell UltraSharp U3415W vs HP Envy 27

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you connect the HP Envy27 to a USB-C compatible laptop, the monitor will both receive video and audio signal from a computer and charge it - over a single cable. The monitor has enough 'juice' to power a 2018's MacBook Pro.

Compared to the other monitors in its price range, the HP Envy 27 offers excellent overall picture quality thanks to its high-resolution IPS panel. The panel delivers eye-catching scenes with bright and vibrant colors as well as some deep blacks. Furthermore, the image doesn't degrade in a bright room, where the monitor's reasonable peak brightness and anti-reflective coating do a good job ob fighting glare and reflections.
