Iiyama ProLite XUB3493WQSU 34″ Ultra Wide monitor arrived – 07/03/2021

My new Iiyama ProLite XUB3493WQSU 34″ Ultra Wide monitor has just arrived after I ordered it Friday evening.

Really impressed with the service from https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ and I was not expecting the monitor to arrive until Monday afternoon at the earliest and it was delivered at 10am on a Sunday morning.

The box is massive so hopefully the monitor will be equally impressive 😁

I have unboxed the monitor:

• 

• 

• 

I then connected the monitor up to my laptop (Dell Latitude E5570) and also my work laptop (Dell Latitude 5400) and neither would support a resolution of 3440×1440. That was until I tried the dock on my work laptop and then it worked at the proper resolution.

I quite like not having a line in the middle of the 2 screens but apart from that I am finding that I prefer having 2 seperate monitors as it is easier to seperate workspaces compared to the one big screen.

I am going to give the Ultra Wide a week to get used to and then if I don’t get on with it I will give it to my son for his pc and I will go back to the 2 screens and maybe upgrade my middle monitor to a 28″ screen to have a higher resolution on the main screen.

Apart from that the screen seems pretty good to be honest. The colours are really clear and videos playback is really good.
