Q: What is the resolution of this Dell monitor?
A: This Dell monitor has a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
A: I'm kind of surprised BestBuy's website isn't accurate about this. From one end of the screen to the other it's about 27.75 inches or rounding say 28" wide. The BestBuy specification section on this monitor at the time of this response says 9.35 inches which is wrong according to my tape measure I just used on the screen. To be safe I'd say for two of these give yourself about 60-62 inches so you have space for side speakers if the PC case is on the floor.

YES!
What a fantastic monitor! Color sharpness, speed, smoothness all excellent! Its the sweet spot in size for gaming honestly. Had a 24" for 2 years, had a 42" for 1 year. Its my 1st curved monitor and its a great experience. Took about a day to get used to it and get the distance to sit away, but an easy adjustment. It honestly is much more immersive with the curve. At 200 bucks this is a steal. Dont hesitate, go but it!

Awesome monitor
I love this monitor, finally decided to get one to game on after all these years and I'm glad I did. This monitor has great colors, refresh rate is easy to figure out, the size and curved aspect are awesome and at a surprisingly good price. Obviously isn't goin to be as clear and high def as qled and all that, but I would definitely recommend this for someone who's looking to give a monitor a try.

Great budget curved 32" Display!
So back in 2020 I picked up a pretty nice Dell 27" aluminum monitor as a treat to myself to replace an aging Acer display. I bought the 4 year protection plan on it, which was lucky. Yesterday (1/1/24) the display randomly displayed a huge section of dead pixels. Quickly checked to see if I still had my Geek Squad Protection plan, and it was valid til March! So I hopped on the website to find a replacement monitor in the same price range, and was delighted to find this 32" curve was within price range ($10 more expensive), so I went ahead and took in my old faulty monitor and paid the $10 difference and snagged this one. Took me less than 3 minutes to set up, and it's quite a nice size. It's tall as well as wide so you get a large portion of screen real estate. I mostly use this monitor (and another 27" monitor) for working from home, with maybe a bit of YouTube through the day. The first thing I noticed was that the colour looked terrible. Blues looked purple, and everything looked off. I rebooted, no change. Reinstalled the drivers for my 1080, nothing. Checked the Colour Profile in Windows, deleted the Dell profile and bam. Perfect. All colours are now true to life. And they look fantastic. I took 20mins to try some quick gaming on here in Cyberpunk2077 and it looks fantastic. Definitely worth the money, but if you have the weird colour issues you just have to delete the Dell colour profile and let Windows handle it.
