💻 Dell U3818DW QHD Ultrawide Gaming Monitor with LED Lit Screen, 3840X1600P Resolution Review

I'm now good – so far – on the third point. Incredible monitor, but getting a working one from Revain isn't easy. I received two damaged units when ordering from Revain (one with a cracked LCD, the other turned on and off within the first few hours of use). [I'll spare you the details, but it was just really bad Revain delivery.] I ended up ordering directly from the manufacturer and received the unit in perfect condition. Even the second monitor, which turned on and off, was generally pretty…

I bought a top-of-the-line 15-inch MacBook Pro this year and have struggled to use it for work as I'm heavily dependent on dual monitors. That meant I had to use two USB-C to DisplayPort cables, a USB-C to USB-A hub, and another cable to power my MacBook. With this monitor I connect ONE Thunderbolt/USB-C cable to my MacBook and it works fine. The monitor has four USB-A ports (2 on the back, two on the side) which I use to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse. Although these ports only work at…

My previous setup was a Dell U2410 and U2412 mounted on a dual monitor stand. I've used this setup for many years, but it's always been a distraction that the bezel separates the two screens. Even though I had a quality stand installed over my desk that held the monitors securely, it always seemed like one monitor ended up being slightly modified from the other. Finally, the colors on the two monitors were not entirely accurate. So I was happy to see that 38 inch ultra wide monitors are now…

I'm not a gamer, so I wasn't looking for the 144Hz refresh rate that some large ultra-wide gaming monitors offer. I needed multiple inputs as I wanted to use this with my Windows desktop PC and my work computer such as a MacBook Pro 16 which all have USB-C ports. Some reviews have said that charging on a MacBook Pro does not should support as it needs 90W but looks like they updated the design at some point and mine says it supports 100W. I can charge my MacBook Pro as well as stream audio and…

I had major reservations about choosing this monitor over the equivalent LG over the cheaper 4k 43 inch monitor. I had concerns about the quality and warranty service from LG, which offers official support for Mac. This Dell doesn't have official Mac support but has a solid reputation for quality. In the end I went with Dell and I'm very happy with it so far. For me this is a 100% working monitor so I will only comment on that aspect. for me it's email, programming, powerpoint etc, nothing to…

Read thousands of reviews about this monitor and its competitors. Originally bought a 34-inch model of this model, but was not satisfied with the size and impact of the monitor. The 38 inch is ideal to replace a dual monitor setup. The resolution is great, the speakers aren't great, but that's not what you're buying this monitor for. I love the USB-C connectivity of the MacBook Pro and older MacBook Pros via HDMI, the split-screen capability, and the monitor that acts as a hub. Convenient menu…

Before purchasing the Dell U3818DW, I did a thorough research on curved widescreen monitors. I needed a single monitor to replace a multi-monitor setup for a DAW recording studio. I bought a new audio lectern and needed to find the widest possible monitor that would fit between the posts built into the lectern. Since all the reviews for this model were consistently positive and the size was right, I decided to spend the extra money and buy this model. So far I've been very happy with it and…

Each monitor is individually calibrated at the factory. The monitor ships with a printout of this result. However, mine is a little bluer on the sides. I tried looking around from different angles to see if that was the cause, but it wasn't. The colors on this monitor are very good. I am satisfied with using it for professional work. The brightness level will throw you out of the room. In my room with windows on a bright, sunny day, I set the monitor to around 60% and it's bright enough. The…

I'm a web developer and this monitor is connected to a 2018 15 inch Macbook Pro with High Sierra 10.13.6. There are issues when my MBP goes to sleep (more below). Overall the picture quality is too good to dwell on such an issue again and I would recommend the monitor. Connected to the monitor: - External keyboard - Mouse (Bluetooth, but consumes power) - Speakers (draws power) - Webcam The monitor is then connected. to the MBP via a USB-C (Thunderbolt) connector included with the monitor. The…

I just hooked up a display to my 2017 15" MBP. I sold my 2015 iMac to purchase this monitor and run my Macbook as the driver. My initial setup was to run a single USB-C cable from the MacBook Pro to the monitor. I was a bit disappointed with the ghosting and screen quality compared to the Retina iMac. Then I thought let's try HDMI as I had a 30Hz key. It made a big difference. I still have USB C connected so I can use the screen as a hub but also HDMI. I chose the screen for HDMI. It looks much
