What did the real models show?

The table lists three 34 inch ultrawide monitors, all from Dell. Their bodies are 31.8 in80.7 cm to 32.0 in81.3 cm wide, or 0.4 in1.1 cm to 0.6 in1.6 cm more than the screen itself. With under 1 in (2.5 cm) between them, the frame rarely decides whether one of these fits.

Without its stand, the Dell U3425WE is the thinnest at 4.1 in10.4 cm deep. At the other end, the Dell SE3426DW is 4.8 in12.1 cm deep.

Weights run from 14.13 lb6.4 kg for the Dell SE3426DW to 17.15 lb7.8 kg for the Dell U3425WE. A monitor arm rated for 18 lb8.2 kg or more covers the weight of every model here.

With their stands, the makers list heights of 15.5 in39.3 cm to 18.0 in45.6 cm, so measure under any shelf. On their stands, they take 8.6 in21.9 cm to 9.5 in24.1 cm of desk depth.

All three share one VESA pattern, 100 x 100 mm, so one arm pattern covers them all.

Which resolution suits a 34 inch ultrawide monitor?

Higher resolution looks sharper but makes text smaller, so you need display scaling. At 34 inches, 2560 × 1080 gives 82 PPI and 5120 × 2160 gives 163 PPI. The table shows the Windows scaling each needs.

At this size, 2560 × 1080 looks soft, 3440 × 1440 looks clear and 5120 × 2160 looks very sharp. 2560 × 1080 works at 100% scaling, while 3440 × 1440 needs 125% and 5120 × 2160 needs 175%.

How does a 34 inch ultrawide monitor compare with other sizes?

The next size up, the 38 inch ultrawide monitor, has 25% more screen area. The next size down, the 32 inch monitor, has 6% more screen area. Area grows with the square of the diagonal, so a few inches feel bigger than they sound.

That makes the size up a clear step, and the size down a small step.

How we measure

Screen width = diagonal x a / sqrt(a^2 + b^2) and height = diagonal x b / sqrt(a^2 + b^2) for an a:b screen. Viewing angle = 2 x arctan(half the screen width / distance). Pixel visibility uses 1 arcminute, the limit of 20/20 vision.
