Product Manuals

Q: How can I use G Sync on this monitor?

A: King, there are a TON of articles and how-to's on how to use G Sync with a Freesync or Freesync 2.0 monitor. Here is a very helpful guide on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/ag6a9f/how_to_enable_adaptivesync_freesync_if_you_have/ For this specific monitor, you need to bring up the OSD (On Screen Display) which is enabled by pressing the buttons next to the power button (bottom right side of monitor). You need to navigate through the OSD and turn FreeSync to "On" and then enable "G-SYNC, G-SYNC Compatible" from your computer in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Follow the instructions within the link I provided above. This monitor is Freesync version 2.0 which allows for HDR (High Dynamic Range) gaming, streaming, etc. content. Freesync 2.0 also has a wider adaptive refresh rate range, compared to a monitor with Freesync 1. This means Adaptive Sync will work better when your FPS drop in a game.

Q: What is the top height of the monitor at the lowest adjustable height? Is it the 24.3 in the specs or can it go lower? Also how much height adjustment is there?

A: Lowest point I got was 18.25 inches, highest was 24.

Q: Does this have split screen ? I’m looking for mulititasking for my work needs

A: Yes with Dell's software this is easily achievable .

Q: Hello, I have a few questions I'd like to ask. Are there any issues at all using one of the latest NVIDIA GPUs? How does text look on this monitor? And of course, how does Battlefield V, or any FPS game look on this monitor? Thanks everyone!

A: I have a 1080ti and needed to use CRU to change the freesync range from 48-164 to 50-164 to prevent it from blanking sometimes. With that resolved it is a beautiful screen.

Q: What is the weight of the monitor without the stand? Asking for mounting purposes

A: Hello! Without the stand, this monitor is 16.82 pounds.

Q: Does the computer have a webcam and speakers?

A: No, it doesn't have either. I wish it had some speaker for doing video calls, but I would avoid embedded video cameras because you can't change it when the technology becomes obsolete, compared to a slime Webcam. It has an Audio in and out for connecting a speaker of your choice.

Q: would this monitor be good for counsel gaming like on a Xbox etc. and is a curved monitor better for gaming ?

A: Since XBOX One supports Freesync, this would be a good monitor to use with the system. However, keep in mind you won't see FPS higher than 60 on the XBOX One usually, so 165hz is very overkill. Though since the XBOX Series X will support 120 fps, this could be a good monitor for future proofing. As for curved being better for gaming, that's a subjective matter. I found it to make the game a bit more immersive, but I know others who find it to be a pointless gimmick.

Q: Does this come with a 3 year warranty from Dell? The bestbuy site says 1 year, but dell's site says 3. There is a 1 year advanced replacement, is bestbuy just showing that part and not saying 3 years?

A: The Dell S3220DGF monitor comes with a 3-year warranty.

Love the size, features and picture quality!
I bought three of these monitors to replace my triple screen setup which was previously outfitted with three 27 inch Dell S2716DG 1440p G-sync monitors. In summary, this monitor is a nice upgrade from the S2716DG because of the size, features and picture quality. First, as to size, there is definitely a difference going from 27 inches to 32 inches. I wonder how I lived without 32 inches, I cannot see myself going back. So, 32 inches is not too big, its perfect. 27 inches for gaming is too small IMO. Second, this monitor has all of the features I want for PC gaming, including 1440p resolution, which is perfect for this size monitor. This monitor also has Freesync adaptive sync technology, which helps smooth the action by syncing the GPU and monitor. The monitor also has a refresh rate of 165 hz (164 hz in the Nvidia driver), which also helps smooth out the action, particularly when you are at or near 165 frames per second. Speaking of adaptive sync, although this monitor is not officially G-sync compatible, it nonetheless largely supports G-sync technology if you are using an Nvidia GPU. I say "largely" because I have noticed some flickering with G-sync enabled that I never had with my S2716DG monitors or my Alienware AW3418DW, both of which have native G-sync support via a chip inside the monitor. Also, the HDR on this monitor is quite good on my PS4 Pro. The whites are quite bright, without being washed out, and the colors are rich. GT Sport, for example, looks incredible. An added bonus is that by enabling HDR on the monitor, my PS4 Pro is able to transmit and the monitor receives a 4K signal. Very cool. HDR on PC, however, is generally weak. I tried Shadow of the Tomb Raider in HDR on this monitor and the colors were muted and I saw too much gray compared to SDR, which was much more vibrant. HDR in Windows also apparently causes flickering in some games, for example iRacing and Shadow of the Tomb Raider when I am running in Nvidia Surround with G-sync enabled. In summary, HDR is a perk if you are using this monitor with a PS4 Pro, but I would not get your hopes up regarding HDR if using this monitor on PC. The monitor has a DisplayPort 1.4 port, plus two HDMI 2.0 ports. I bought three DP 1.4 cables to use because I had read about flickering issues when people used the included DP 1.2 cables. I question Dell's decision not to include DP 1.4 cables, even though the monitor supports it. HDMI 2.0 is good, that is what is needed for 4K on PS4 Pro or your Xbox One X. The OSD is quite good, similar to other Dell and Alienware monitors I have used and owned. It is very easy to scroll through the menus and make adjustments. And finally, the picture quality of this monitor is superb. The VA panel produces rich, vibrant colors, at least in part because of its 3000:1 contrast ratio, which is much higher than the 1000:1 contrast ratio we typically see on TN or IPS panels. I love deep, saturated colors and so I used the OSD to crank up the Saturation. Very cool. Text is sharp, although not quite as sharp as what I see in my Alienware AW3418DW monitor, which of course has an IPS panel. In summary, this monitor is great value, even at the regular price of $449. I was able to get a price match down to $360 when the monitor went on sale at Best Buy. Definitely buy with confidence!

10 bit color, HDR, 1440p and 165hz!
I'm in love with this monitor. the colors are very nice, response time is 4ms but I can barely notice any ghosting. I order a display port cable 1.4, the one that came in the box is 1.2. My old monitor was Dell S2417DG G-Sync 165hz 1440p and 1ms. Did some calibration myself, here they are if some one like to use it: On the monitor: Presete Mode: Standart Game Enhance Mode: Off FreeSync: On Smart HDR: Desktop Response Time: Super Fast Dark Stabilizer: 0 Brightness: 74 Contrast: 76 Sharpness: 60 On the NVidia Control Panel: All channels: Brightness: 45% Contrast: 57% Gamma: 1.07 Red: Brightness: 40% Contrast: 72% Gamma: 1.07 Green: Brightness: 45% Contrast: 50% Gamma: 1.07 Blue: Brightness: 50% Contrast:50% Gamma: 1.07 Digital vibrance: 55% Hue: 0 I hope this works for you. thanks for reading. Happy Gaming!!!

Definitely for gaming...
Before I get started, I wanted to say, there was a reviewer on a website that didn't believe all the positive reviews for S3220DFG, if you read this, don't waste your time reading this, go buy it, then come back and read this, then write your positive review... and now to the review. Definitely not for sitting to close: Had this monitor for three days, tested/played Battlefield 4, Witcher 3, the original Grid, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Tomb Raider Under World, Max Payne 3, MXGP Dirt Bike racing with a i7 4770k and rtx 2060 super, my frames per second did not alter one bit from my usual fps on my 27" monitor, that should be noted for those interested. Let me tell you, this monitor is a beast. The games really shine on this work of art. The price to performance is just, honestly, you won’t find better for what you get. Speaking of what you get, a Display Port 1.2 cable is included. Go to Amazon and pick up the “cable matters” 1.4 version because I heard 165hz won’t be achievable on 1.2, didn’t bother trying to hit 165hz with the included cable. There are many screen display options which are a nice addition for those that like to tinker. Do not get this monitor if you cannot sit at least 3 ½ to 4 ½ feet away. The curve may induce a little dizziness and sitting to close with too much brightness may induce bright spots in your vision, scary but that’s the price for sitting to close for some. Some websites actually say to sit 5 feet for 32” but I think that is pushing it. Another website says 1.7 feet and that is just absurdly to close. I had to return this awesome piece of equipment because my desk is small and I’m sitting 2 feet from the screen, So it's back to my ACER XB270U, it’s noticeable smaller at 27” but I still appreciate it for what it’s worth, will miss the extra screen real estate though. I'm not sure why but i needed to resize windows 10 to about 150% in display settings, fonts are noticeable smaller on this too. Also, I had to zoom in for web pages with the CTRL button and mouse wheel. It should be noted that this Dell supports other resolutions sizes too, including 1080p for a nice touch. Also, $399.99 is a steal. Dell will definitely have me as customer in the future. By the way, this was my first Dell anything and it was a nice experience. Lastly, my purchase date was 7/27/2020 and I received this 7/29/2020, not sure why BB.com says 7/29/2020 for a purchase date, that was the delivery date.
