About this deal
Unfortunately, the webcam's image quality isn't up to scratch. It's better than most laptops but falls short of a good standalone webcam, like Logitech's C920 HD Pro. Video looks noisy even in a well-lit home office. Adding a ring light helped, but video quality was still worse than a dedicated webcam. Dell's C3422WE is unique in bundling video conferencing features, so it has no direct competitor.

Ensure that the USB upstream cable (Type-A to Type-B or Type-C to Type-C) is connected from the personal computer to the monitor. Design wise, the Dell C3422WE monitor looks very premium, from the materials Dell chose to build the monitor with. The overall chassis uses aluminum, while the front speaker bar has a textured fabric lining. It really accentuates the working space, and I’m a fan of that. The monitor itself is pretty heavy, even if it’s a 34-inch monitor. The base is wide for better stability, and the stand itself is sturdy with a cutout hole for improved cable management. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable: Then turn on both your computer and the monitor. In terms of speech recognition, video call participants have rated my voice as an 8/10 with good clarity.
