I returned my 34" and got a 27".
Where is the Dell $750? Somewhere I could potentially get Best Buy to pricematch on it? EDIT: Looked around. Jet, MacMall, and NextWarehouse among others. Hmm.
EDIT2: I imagine you've done a good bit of research on 34" ultrawides, since you got one. Between the LG (flat) and the Samsung (curved) and Dell (curved), you'd probably go with the Dell?
Got a 27" Ultrawide, or 27" 16:9? I'm assuming 16:9 since you didn't like the side-bars?
I dont think any blizzard games support 21:9, and i recall having to play with black bars on the side.
Also, watching regular tv shows at 16:9 placed black bars on the side.

Both seem to be great monitors. But the VA of the samsung seems to have better blacks. I really wish I could make a choice. Laugh
Yes, VA unquestionably gives better blacks, it's just a result of using completely different tech for the panel. VA almost always has better blacks than IPS.
The down-side is VA also has some gamma shift (nothing like TN - TN can go to hell and die, but it's there) and black crush, where very transitions tend to be lost. It also tends to be slower than IPS, particularly on dark to light transitions, which results in ghosting. If heavily over-driven it can even produce inverse ghosting, where there's a black trail, then a white trail. Very annoying, very distracting.
SVA, Samsung's "super VA" implementation of the tech, seems to have dealt with the black crush to a large extent and the ghosting as well, though reviews I've seen suggest that dark to light transitions (heavy, like near black to near white) can still ghost a bit.
Over all, I'd personally prefer SVA for the deeper blacks assuming you aren't paying a price premium, but many people are happier with the lower real-world response times of IPS and over all higher color accuracy.
Went with the samsung. I do game. But mainly World of tanks, etc. I think this monitor will run it without issue.
Where did you pick it up from? Also, if you haven't already purchased please look over my edits above. Tried to be more clear on some things.
I actually looked at some youtube videos on both and changed my mind. I bought the Dell U3415W from amazon.com
If it's not too late you can cancel with Amazon and order from Macmall.com to save some cash. Cheapest I saw it on Amazon was like $818, but it's $750 with free expedited (1-3 day) shipping from Macmall.
Yeah, it shipped last night. But that is ok. I got prime so Ill have it friday.
That's quite a ways back from your chair -- is the curve even noticeable from there?
