I Recommend this for Budgets!
Review: The product’s size is as the dimensions say, and it of course comes with an hdmi cable and the monitor’s power cable. Its sleek, thin, modern, and seems as if cleaning it is simple. Its not as sturdy as I wish, but then again the product is well-priced. The quality of the screen is thorough, but I wish it was better. It’s like the colors don’t want to project. Maybe I can tweak it, but maybe LED can’t compete with OLED and QLED being everywhere. Its easy to hide cords as you plug them in vertically, and it fits any white/black/grey room. Assembly was incredibly strsight forward and had like 2 steps. Definitely worth the price and I will not be replacing it until issues arise. Score reasoning: 3 star inquiries that expectations were met with ignorable, unmentioned cons, 4 star is slightly succeeding expectations, while 5 star is perfection.

Love, Love, Love
The Dell S3225QS 32” monitor is a very impressive monitor. Easy to set up. I love the sleek bezels and the solid build with a sturdy stand that offers tilt, swivel, and height adjustments, ensuring ergonomic comfort. The monitor also features a VESA-compatible mount, allowing users to opt for wall mounting or alternative stands to suit their workspace preferences. Display Performance- Love the 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). This monitor has stunning clarity and detail, making it ideal for tasks that require precision, such as graphic design, video editing, and data analysis. Color accuracy is another highlight of this monitor. It supports 99% sRGB color gamut, which delivers vibrant and true-to-life colors, essential for creative professionals. The monitor's contrast ratio of 3000:1 ensures deep blacks and bright whites, providing a rich visual experience. Viewing angles are also commendable, with minimal color shift when viewed from different positions. Performance in Gaming and Multimedia- For gaming enthusiasts, the Dell S3225QS offers a range of features that enhance gameplay. The monitor has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and supports AMD FreeSync technology, which minimizes screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gaming sessions. The response time of 4ms ensures that motion blur is kept to a minimum, providing smooth visuals during action-packed scenes. For multimedia consumption, the monitor's HDR capability enhances the viewing experience by providing greater dynamic range and richer colors. Connectivity and Additional Features- The Dell S3225QS includes two HDMI off the bottom and one off the side. There is a nice cord organizer clip that holds on to the back arm magnetically. The monitor also includes pretty impressive built-in speakers. The best I have experienced for a monitor. This is more like a TV experience. Usability and Ergonomics- Dell has paid attention to usability and ergonomics in the S3225QS monitor. The intuitive on-screen display menu is easy to navigate, allowing users to quickly adjust settings to their preference. Features such as ComfortView reduce blue light emission, helping to minimize eye strain during prolonged use. Dell also offers a software package called ‘Dell Display and Peripheral Manager. It allows you to pre-set partitions, similar to what windows 11 offers, but with more options. It also allows you to automate your brightness and contrast based on your schedule and more. I personally haven’t used this yet, but nice to feature to have. Pros • 4K UHD resolution provides exceptional clarity and detail • 99% sRGB color gamut ensures vibrant and accurate colors. • Adjustable stand for ergonomic comfort. • 120hz refresh rate • AMD FreeSync technology for smoother gameplay. • Built-in speakers for convenient audio. Cons • None that I found Conclusion- Overall, I am super happy with this monitor for its excellent display quality, ergonomic design and audio experience. It is a worthwhile investment for those seeking a reliable and visually stunning monitor for various applications.

Great for Work & Play
Back in 2020 when my employer sent us to work from home, I purchased a 34-inch monitor so that I would have plenty of screen space to be productive in my home office. The screen real estate was excellent for getting work done, but when I later purchased a gaming laptop (excited to play on my new anamorphic wide screen) I discovered the monitor absolutely could not handle any level of gaming - which was extremely disappointing. Here we are 5 years later...and I swapped out the 34-inch wide screen for this awesome Dell 4K LED monitor. To be honest, I'm very impressed with just how balanced and versatile it is. Not only does the refresh rate allow for smoother gameplay, but the 4k screen looks impressively vivid (even though I'm told that my eyes should not be able to tell the difference of 4K at this size). There is still plenty of real estate for getting work done as the screen has almost no bezel at all. And, I appreciate that the monitor has built in speakers which is huge in versatility - as I can now use the monitor anywhere in the house for work, gaming, movies, etc. The two 10-watt speakers aren't as loud as a full-sized TV would be, but they are perfectly adequate (especially for use on a desk). I also appreciate that the menu interface is incredibly easy to use. Not only are the controls easy to find (on the lower back corner), but they are very easy to manipulate and control via the little joystick style button. Very well thought out. My only minor frustrations are that there are no USB inputs (meaning that the lights & webcam I use for conference calls must be plugged into a different source. Also, the screen cannot pivot left or right (only tilt forwards/backwards). I did make the mistake of initially attaching my OLED laptop to the screen - which just pointed out that even 4K LED doesn't hold a candle to the phenomenal deep blacks OLED can produce (shown in the attached pictures). It's not a fair comparison, as OLED costs a great deal more, but just be aware that if you have OLED screens in your house, you will notice that this monitor cannot produce such rich black levels. Overall, I absolutely recommend this monitor. Nobody should be using smaller screens with how affordable and feature rich this Dell monitor is. It's time to step up your game and upgrade.
