When using the DP-to-HDMI dongle to connect from the monitor to the computer, the monitor will not support the YCbCr color format

Some combinations of DP-to-HDMI dongle and video or graphics card (GPU) do not support YCbCr color format.

The Dell U3419W isn’t a gaming variant so it does not include FreeSync and the G-Sync compatibility mode that comes with it. You’d have to rely on a powerful GPU and tweaking the graphics settings to attain a sweetspot so tearing and stuttering doesn’t happen. Input lag is slightly higher at 20ms, but we feel that’s reasonable for the titles which are suitable for this model. Thoughts on the Dell U3419W Ensuring that your Dell monitor is setup properly - assembling the monitor stand and setting up the monitor ergonomically, connecting the cables and organizing them, will only help make the viewing experience the best it possibly can be.

Dell U3419W Specifications

The Dell U3419W monitor is a new 34 inch monitor that Dell has added to their Ultrasharp product line replacing the U3417W. This monitor is a behemoth that matches it’s ultra wide curved display with ultra high quality. Designed with photo and video work in mind as well as entertainment; whatever your use this monitor offers an immersive experience. When you notice screen abnormalities like distortion, clarity, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade etc., it is always a good practice to isolate the monitor by running the Built-In Diagnostics.

Dim/discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part. As this monitor also leverages Dell Display Manager, a detailed write up of the software can be found here in the Usability and Features section of our prior curved monitor review. However, a unique feature I would like to highlight about the Dell U3419W monitor is the Picture By Picture (PBP) functionality. When setup for PBP the monitor takes input from two different PC sources and displays them side by side on one monitor. This is a feature I’ve never seen before in a monitor and while in a way it is similar to having a dual monitor setup PBP is an intriguing new technology for those who utilize multiple PC’s. Additionally, the Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) feature pairs nicely with PBP and lets you toggle and control two PC’s with only one mouse and keyboard.
