Any word on a replacement for the Dell U3014

[boed]

I currently have a u3007 and u3011 and while they are great I swear they consume more power than anything else I own. I was thinking about replacing them but it seems silly to buy a 2 year old model to replace them.

Newegg has the dell u3415 curved panel for $649 including a $50 MIR so they must be getting ready to replace the current models. I really want a 34" curved display but I don't want the price to involve any MIR's which can be denied.

I think the u3415 is a step down from the u3014. I'd get curved if I could get a 21:9 50 inch model.

 

[Puffnstuff]

The 3014 is a 30" panel and the u3015 is a 21:9 3440x1440 34" wide angle ips panel and from what I've read the panel is made by lg. I don't want to give up vertical real estate for width like so many of the current models force you to do. My current 2709w has 14 7/16" of panel height and I really want to maintain or grow that space with an upgrade. The u3015 has 13.18" of height and would be almost 1.5" shorter and I wrestle with that thought as I sift through available curved monitors. A 1080p wide panel is just not on my radar as I see it as useless.

Yep - if I could get a 50" 21"9 screen I wouldn't be sacrificing surface area or usefulness but a 34" 21:9 screen is too short and if I used 2 of them I'd also need a bigger desk. That's why I'm hoping to find rumors on a u3016.

I wouldn't mind a 34" wide if it were say 16-20" tall. Samsung has a 32" panel that has the right dimensions but it isn't curved. I wish they'd curve it for folks like me.

I'd be really surprised if Dell refreshes the U3014 with a new 16:10 2560x1600 model. I imagine it is incredibly hard to sell a $1k+ monitor these days that isn't 4K.

If anything, they will refresh the UP3214Q with a new model.

If only Samsung would take the S32D850T and curve the panel keeping the same resolution I'd be on board.

I was thinking the same thing.

I did the math. To get the same surface area, I'd need about a 46" 21:9 screen to get generally the same surface area as my 2 30" screens - about a 50" to get the same width.

I still haven't made a move. I was hoping for something at CES but I didn't find much in the press about new monitors shown at CES in the 30 plus size

I am looking forward to this too actually. I have 3 u3011s and would like to replace them with the newest version of the u301? -- I would get three up3216q but they are just too wide for the desk. Any news would be wonderful.

I hope the newest version has seamless view!! Bringing in the bezels would be wonderful.

 

[boed]

I haven't found anything that fits this category. I'm looking for something 16x10 - I don't care about 4K but I'd like 30" or bigger and 144hz. The Dell UP3216q is only 60hz

 

[boed]

My current hope is to see if the M320QAN01.2 that is scheduled for June has a good refresh rate

I have the equivalent BenQ 32 and don't miss curves.

Well I ended up with a 21:9 34" curved display and I love it.
