Dell - S3220DGF 32" LED Curved QHD FreeSync Monitor with HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI, USB)

I have been waiting a long time to upgrade to a monitor like this! I am not a competitive gamer but I am no noob either. I built my own system which has a 4.3 GHz stable overclocked i7 and GTX 1070 Ti. I feel that since high end GPUs like the 2080 Ti struggle to push 4K over 100Hz reliably, that 1440p is the proverbial "sweet spot" for screens under 40 in or so. I normally play games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Mass Effect and the occasional Battlefield when it comes to AAA titles. I played blu ray dvds of Tron Legacy and 300 and it looked fantastic. The darks and contrast on this panel are a clear upgrade to my old 24 in 60Hz Asus IPS and 43 in Samsung tv that I was using. If you are looking to play FPS (shooters) or be more competitive then I recommend you look at 24 to 27 in monitors with 240Hz+ refresh rates. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck!

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!

Well I lm gonna give this monitor 5 stars even though I had to return it because the large screen was way to big for me but that should not affect the rating of this monitor. The image is very very crisp watching videos was amazing for some reason when I tried to run warzone with an intel i5 process and a 1660ti graphic card warzone would crash and not launch I disable the free sync and gsync and I uninstalled and reinstalled warzone but for some reason when I switched from my old dell S2716DG monitor which is also a 2k monitor I started having problems, I really don’t know why but I couldn’t figure it out and I ended up not wanting to deal with it anymore so I ended up just returning my monitor.

Amazing Graphics paired with my Xbox Series X. Running 1440@120fps or 4k@60fps is a game changer...It even makes playing older titles more enjoyable! Highly recommend!!!

I'm not a gamer, but I love this large screen for watching videos, video conferencing, or just doing routine computer work. Very easy on the eyes. I attached mine to a desk mount so I can position it wherever needed and to eliminate the stand and wasted desk space. I also attached a portable speaker box to the monitor's headphone jack as a speaker option. Totally happy so far. Worth every penny. I'll never go smaller than 32" from this point forward.

Unlike other monitors, you can adjust this thing anyway you like. You can twist and turn to your desired position. The base is quite steady. The pixels are good, so good that you can't see the pixels individually like most monitors. I've liked Dell Monitors for the past 3 years now. I've tried a few other monitors before, but it just doesn't cut it for me. This is the real deal yo. The monitor in this description is the one on the left in the picture I uploaded. The one on the right is also a Dell monitor, but smaller. Same Speed.

Aside from my 3080, this has been my been my favorite upgrade. I decided to get a second one a few weeks later. The only gripe is that they weigh over 25lbs so have them on a dual mount isn't worth the risk since most weight capacity are around 2/3 of their weight. I've ran the likes of Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk, The Medium, Apex, Warzone all at 1440p Ultra 165hz and the difference from my 4k 30hz monitor was massive. Curved screens give the illusion of a larger screen so that adds to the value. Ive recommended them to a couple of friends who bought soon after they came to see the quality in person. I purchased them both while they were on sale for 399 and 329 so be patient!

For the money, IMO you can not find a better 165hz quality big monitor at this price. Also keep a eye out for sales on many platforms, as this monitor is usually on sale somewhere. They matched the Dell direct price and I was able to walk out after tax less than the current price. I like to support local stores and sales people, and with the price match, I am able to still buy local and let the sales person pocket some commission. Yes it’s a corporation but I appreciate having a local store when I need something quickly and it keeps more people employed.
