Description of 🖥️ Dell UltraSharp U3821DW Curved Monitor: Immersive Display with Built-In Speakers, Anti-Glare Screen, Height Adjustment, and USB-C Hub

STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE: See all of your work and multitask efficiently with more onscreen space on this 37.5-inch ultrawide WQHD plus (3840 X 1600) curved screen. With a vertical height of 1600 pixels, you can see more with less scrolling. The 2300R screen curvature creates a wider field of view, minimizes reflection and offers near uniform visual focus for a more comfortable view. Integrated dual 9W speakers deliver great sound for an immersive visual and auditory experience. ACCURATE COLOR: Consistent vibrant colors - See true-to-life color with a color depth of 1.07 billion colors and wide color coverage including 100% sRGB, 100% Rec 709 and 95% DCI-P3. With 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space (which offers nearly 25% more coverage than sRGB), you will see your charts, graphs, images and video content in an even wider range of colors. PRODUCTIVITY HUB: With connectivity options like RJ45 and USB-C, your monitor serves as a productivity hub that delivers stable Ethernet and up to 90W of power to your laptop — all in a clutter-free setup. MAC Address pass-through, PXE Boot, and Wake-on-LAN are conveniently built in. Easily connect to a variety of devices with comprehensive connectivity including DP1.4, HDMI 2.0, USB-C and super speed USB 5Gbps. Quick access front ports allow convenient connection to peripherals and charging of mobile phones (up to 15W via USB-C). MULTITASK EFFICIENTLY: Connect two PCs sources to the monitor. Our intelligent Auto KVM feature detects the latest connected PC and seamlessly switches controls over. View content from both PC sources with PBP (Picture-by-Picture) and PIP (Picture-in-Picture), and use the KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) feature to control both PCs with a single keyboard and mouse. STYLISH AND FUNCTIONAL: Crafted with a premium platinum silver finish, this monitor features a 3-sided narrow bezel, and an elegant cable management system that hides cords within the monitor riser. Navigate the menu and adjust screen settings with the easy-to-use joystick control. Adjust to your comfort with Tilt, swivel, and adjust the height of your monitor for a comfortable setup all day long. Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView, a feature that reduces harmful blue light emissions. TUV Rheinland certified.

Great monitor apart from the hum

The monitor is excellent. I find the USB-C hub very useful. The picture quality is fantastic. However, this monitor has a serious disadvantage. When the monitor goes into standby mode, an audible electronic sound comes from the top vent. The noise is very audible in a quiet room more than 10 from the monitor. Dell sent me several replacement units and they all had the same issue. I excluded all variables to make sure the problems weren't caused by my setup. The only workaround I've found for…

"Dell Store " is NOT Dell, Inc. - It sells used/refurbished Dell products.

I bought a Dell U3821DW from a Dell store. Came in unbranded packaging. The packaging was actually very impressive and showed no external signs of damage, but there was a noticeable cosmetic dent on the VESA monitor mount stand that was not the result of shipping. The monitor itself works perfectly. (This is my second 38" Dell Ultra Sharp.) This is where I learned that the company I was dealing with was not Dell, Inc., but a separate company called IT Electronix that used/refurbished Dell…

USB KVM issues with USB-C wakeup

Great monitor apart from an ongoing known issue when switching from one monitor to another. The USB switch does not wake up a laptop connected to the USB-C port. This is reportedly fixed in the latest firmware. However, several users are reporting this issue, including me. On older 38" monitors this worked fine. Looks like I might be able to bring this back as Dell is not prioritizing this fix based on months of input from the Dell community. If you don't plan on doing more than one To use a…

Good display but compatibility issues with USB-C connection on HP laptops.

There were compatibility issues with an HP laptop. I also have an LG monitor of the same size that didn't have any compatibility issues and the build quality was better than Dell's.
