Hello

I am in the market for a ultrawide (around 34") monitor. I wanted one with a built in KVM so I can use for my photo editing with my mid 2015 MacBook Pro and a Microsoft work laptop. I was looking at a few Dell monitors (P3421w & U3421WE) but I heard about a bunch of sleep issues. Has anyone had an issue with this? Also do you recommend any other monitors if this is a true issue?
Thanks
 
One thing to keep in mind is that your MBP (doesn't matter if it's a 13", low-end 15" or high-end 15") cannot run resolutions wider than 4096 pixels via a single DisplayPort cable, so don't waste money on a 5120×1440 or 5120×2160 monitor. 3440×1440 will be fine.
