IPS monitors, with their IPS glow, poor black levels, and lousy contrast have driven me back to VA monitors, over and over. This one was no exception. I bought a highly rated IPS monitor, fought with it for a week, returned it, and bought this monitor.For competitive, high refresh rate gamers, and those who need wide viewing angles with no gamma or brightness shift whatsoever at the edges of the screen, IPS might be the way to go, but for the rest of us, VA panels are far more pleasant.I know about the shortcomings of VA panels, but this monitor surprised me. The blacks are seriously black. Reviewers are reporting contrast levels above 4,000:1, and I believe it. In a well lit room, the blacks are so dark that the backlight isn't visible at all.

The viewing angles aren't great, but unlike the VA panels of old, I see no brightness or gamma shift at the edges of the screen when sitting two feet away.

A black screen is just black, with none of that annoying IPS glow in all four corners.And finally... Yes, there is some black trailing on that Blur Busters UFO test, but it isn't noticeable in actual real-world use. I've played the Tomb Raider games, for example, and never noticed any smearing.

I purchased this as an external to my Dell G15 5511 gaming laptop. I believe this was a great mid range option for price, frame and refresh rate as well as being a great option just being a step down from 4k in resolutions. I think it’s definitely changed the spectrum for me when it comes to allowing me to see things clearer and faster in a way I could not previously on the laptops native 1080P screen with much lower refreshes and frames. Even better my G key function that gives a power boost in gpu and cooling still works great. This purchase was part of a round of upgrades for my laptop that included increased memory to 32gb, 2tb ssd hard drive chip thermal plate and this monitor.

Overall so far great experience with this monitor would recommend.

I upgraded from a flat 27" Dell that has been going strong for a couple years with zero issues. The 32" curved screen at QHD (2560x1440), running at 165Hz on this monitor is a stunner and provides a nice balance of size, resolution and refresh rate. Final Cut Pro on this monitor is an absolute eye-saver! On my PC with a dedicated GPU, games at 165Hz are mind-blowing! They say the human eye sees smooth movement at 30-60Hz but anyone who has used a 120+Hz display will tell you there is a difference.My current primary workstation is an M1 MacBook Pro and the hub I originally started with was limited to 60Hz at QHD resolution - and even that seemed to be pushing it too hard. It was nothing glaring, but my eye caught flickers (not the monitor's fault!) that became ... MoreI upgraded from a flat 27" Dell that has been going strong for a couple years with zero issues.

The trick is finding a hub or cable that's advertised as supporting 4K@60Hz - I went with a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 to Display Port cable that is therefore also capable of supporting QHD at 165Hz.With this monitor running at a butter-smooth 165Hz, everything looks amazing! Color saturation (99% sRGB means this monitor is capable of displaying nearly the entire sRGB color space) and monitor brightness are pleasing and 32" is a lot of screen real estate for older eyes. I've used this cable and monitor combo on both my MBP and a PC desktop, running each (separately of course) at 60Hz, 120 Hz, 144Hz and 165Hz and all look fantastic so my early problem was definitely the hub I started with. The right hub/cable matters at these resolutions/refresh rates!There are no USB ports or speakers on this monitor and my Mac doesn't support changing the volume on HDMI- or DP-connected displays (though there is an audio port and that works just fine passing audio on a PC desktop), so I use this monitor only as a display, but it is the perfect display for my needs.I was suspicious of using a curved display at first. I was worried about a sense of distortion but nothing feels distorted. In fact, at 32" and standard monitor distance, I think the curve really helps with visibility at the edges.Bottom line: If you need a larger screen with great color representation and a smooth refresh rate, this monitor checks all of those boxes. It's an absolute stunner for gaming, but it's also a great option for work - particularly if you edit media and need working space and accurate color.

If you play games that blacks and dark scenes are important (TheForest, skyrim, resident evil,ect), this va monitor will suit your needs, ESPECIALLY if ips glow was ruining your immersion in those games.It does run @165hz (make sure to change the monitor speed to 165hz in windows and use the DP cable (Hdmi willl do 144 though)Unfortunately mine did have a defect, as i was noticing some small cloud like shapes up top on a pitch black screen, so i returned it and am waiting for my refund (only removed 1 star for that since dell has the 30 day love it or return it program, which is why i decided to try a dell this time instead).I ended up buying the 32 inch version in store (dell s3222dgm), also VA and 165hz.

I am enjoying and keeping this one. So you have 27 and 32 options for this line. Colours look good, ips is abit brighter as expected, but the blacks.ajd dark scenes on this monitor look way better than ips can do.( id say go 27 inch if your face is close to your screen, and 32 if its on a decent size desk and there is a bit of distance between your face and the screen)Overall: Honestly i really, really love it in 32 inch! Playing games on this on thing is so great. I play cyberpunk,starcraft2,TheForest2, skyrim, Assetto Corsa, Resident evil 7 and 8, and the monitor in this size, the slight curve, the deeper blacks, this is exactly the experience i was looking for that ips couldnt give me.A now happy Customer and i will probably shop dell again next purchase, Maybe try an alienware monitor. next time =]
4 stars for being a good monitor for darker games requiring better blacks than ips can give, and games that just feel ruined by ips glow. (i bought it on sale)The colours are nice and i do like the monitor, i felt a good ips monitor does look brighter and sharper but i found many horror/survival games just ruined by ips glow to the point I honestly couldnt enjoy them anymore, hence trying this VA monitor.(Night-time in the forest, underground or night-time in skyrim, dark scenes in resident evil type games are finally enjoyable again thanks to this dell 32 Va)I play cyberpunk and racing sims, and it still looks fantastic on this monitor (it does 165 hz which feels good once you fiddle with settings, DO USE THE DP CABLE for 165hz.I removed 1 star because on a ... More4 stars for being a good monitor for darker games requiring better blacks than ips can give, and games that just feel ruined by ips glow.

(if you ONLY play cod/bf/multiplayer fps games, then stick to ips)Deciding between slower speeds with some clouds but beautiful blacks VS Super fast and colorful ips with atrocious blacks and ips glow from corners (that is somehow considered acceptable) is the time we live in, i guess :/ Each has their gains and pains.i do like this for a VA monitor and i will keep it, the curve is also minor and i thought i wouldn't enjoy it.. but i really do like it. I also dont notice any distorted imaging on it.
The Dell S32222DGM 32" LED Curved QHD gaming monitor is one of the best monitors I've used! The picture quality is excellent. It is compatible with the 3 laptops that are shared in my household. I love that it automatically connects and doesn't require a dock to split screens (assuming you have an HDMI cord). You can adjust your settings to screen share or split between your laptop. While this is standard on monitors now, it is worth mentioning the capability.The size of the monitor is pretty big, which is perfect for spreadsheets during the day and gaming at night. The sleek design of the base makes it easy to keep my desk feeling organized.The length of the cord to my outlet is a good length and can be easily hidden to keep the messy cords tucked away.

The monitor automatically turns off once it is disconnected from my device, which is a great feature to save power.The curved display allows for a great immersive experience. The thin bezel is hardly noticeable, making it seemingless invisible.Overall, 10/10 and I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone. I purchased it on-sale, which was an added bonus! I've been using it daily since April, and it has been a great addition to my work and gaming space.
I got this screen to primarily serve as a monitor for a new alienware laptop with an AMD RX6850M XT. So far, the screen behaves perfectly well. Colors are crisp and I've yet to notice any shading or image distortions. However, I haven't had the time to play anything that's very taxing, although i doubt that it will affect this review. It seems that the screen is more than capable of handling anything it's thrown it's way (although I would refrain from trying with coffee mugs).I did, however, notice colors turning dull when I used it as a monitor for my ROG (nvidia GTX980M) but I can't blame the screen for that, since it's an 8 year old laptop, which might in and by itself be a reason for this.One more thing makes this screen perfect, in my opinion, is the price ... MoreI got this screen to primarily serve as a monitor for a new alienware laptop with an AMD RX6850M XT.

For its current price, you will not find any competition from a decent brand for a monitor with similar specs. And anything that is slightly better (in my opinion, it won't be anything truly noticeable) would at least double the cost from 300$ to at least double that... not worth it.All in all, this monitor is certainly worth its price and easily delivers on its promise.
The Dell S3222DGM is the largest computer monitor I have ever owned, coming in at the size of a standard bedroom TV (32 inches diagonally) when my other displays were both 24 and 27-inch flat panels. It is a VA-type panel that offers up to 2K (1440p) resolution at a nifty 165Hz refresh rate making it perfect for an elevated gaming experience, especially thanks to it's AMD FreeSync support ensuring your games look and perform great without suffering from issues like frame drops or screen tearing.Included with the monitor comes your usual stand, power cable, and two display cables for either HDMI or DisplayPort. For my installation of this monitor and this review I used DisplayPort.

For my installation of this monitor and this review I used DisplayPort. After snapping the monitor onto the stand and hooking up all of the cables, it was ready to go. Windows immediately adjusted the resolution all the way to 2K (1440p) at 165Hz refresh rate after verifying the display settings. While my machine does have an Nvidia GeForce graphics card, it is still detected by the Nvidia Control Panel as a G-SYNC compatible monitor, which was impressive to see had already been enabled and optimized by the graphics card software. I confirmed with Dell support that this model is indeed listed as being compatible with both AMD and Nvidia 'sync' offerings, making it easy for you to not have to worry about compatibility.There are two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.2 port and a headphone jack. What's interesting about these port options is that other gaming monitors are known for also having USB ports to provide you with more connectivity options, especially since gaming setups tend to require a good amount of equipment to be plugged in via USB, so it would've been a nice approach for Dell to include USB passthrough in their monitors especially if they are promoting them for the gaming crowd. There is also a light below the monitor that gives your desk a nice touch of color, and can also be turned off within the monitor's settings if that's not your cup of tea.The monitor itself offers fantastic vivid colors and good brightness and contrast. There are about a dozen presets you can choose from that make it versatile for use in many other settings besides gaming. The large curved display also makes it a great option for watching movies and TV shows and working with digital art. There is also a 'Comfort' setting that makes it easier to read on the eyes and warms the color temperature of the display to make it easier to sleep at night.To conclude, the Dell S3222DGM monitor gives you a large-sized behemoth that goes beyond offering great performance for PC gaming, but also can be used as a daily driver for work and personal entertainment as well and makes a great option as well mainly due to the large screen size and fast, smooth 165Hz refresh rate. While not a 4K resolution monitor, 1440p still looks brilliant and clear for most people and is still the optimal resolution recommended for PC gaming by some of the best gamers in the industry.
I gotta say I absolutely love this monitor, its perfect for my Ps5. Its definitely easy to use and set up, the curved screen gives it a feel you have to see to understand. I did alot of research before making this purchase and I have to say its easily one of the best purchases you can make if your looking to improve your game. I love being able to increase the response time and use all the preset settings to put my games in the sweet spot.I had but one issue with this product and it was when I first received it, I paid the full price and ended up getting a used monitor. I knew something was wrong because both HDMI ports tweaked out constantly. I tried everything at the time thinking maybe the ports were dirty or my cords were just broken but after returning it and ... MoreI gotta say I absolutely love this monitor, its perfect for my Ps5.

I knew something was wrong because both HDMI ports tweaked out constantly. I tried everything at the time thinking maybe the ports were dirty or my cords were just broken but after returning it and getting a brand new one, I can confirm they sent me a used one, the packaging on my first one was very generic, alot of unlabeled plastic bags and foam wraps, where as the new one had dell labeled foam wraps. Returning it wasnt an issue and the people at best buy were very helpful with the situation, so I thank them.Though it was disappointing to learn that I received a used/faulty product when paying full price originally, Im still satisfied with this monitor and I would recommend this to anyone whos in the market for something new for their console
The Dell S3222DGM 32” gaming monitor is my first curved screen monitor, and it’s pretty cool.

I’d previously been using a flat IPS display for gaming, and since this is a VA display, the experience was quite different. After a very brief acclimation period of getting used to a curved screen versus a flat one, I found that despite the significant increase in screen real estate, I could still see pretty much the whole screen all at once, plus there was little distortion at the peripheral of my vision. That’s thanks to the screen being at a roughly equal distance to your eye even at the sides of the screen, and it really does feel like a more immersive experience when gaming.Make sure you measure your desk space though because the monitor has a quite a large footprint at 28 inches wide, 18 inch minimum height, and a depth of 9 inches. The screen height is adjustable on the included stand about 4 inches increasing the maximum height to 22 inches. You can also tilt the screen around 30 degrees to pitch up or slightly down, however, there is no side-to-side swivel or portrait rotation. I like that attaching the included stand and base is a tool-less process, though the stand can be easily removed, and underneath are four removable screws to make this monitor compatible with VESA 100mm x 100mm mounting systems.Since this monitor is an upgrade for me from 250 nits to 350 nits, the increase in brightness was instantly noticeable, especially in a brightly lit room with window glare. At full brightness, I feel it’s a tad intense, so I like to set the color mode to ComfortView which is Dell’s “Low Blue Light” setting. This mode also has the benefit of reducing eye strain and fatigue, though it will throw off color accuracy, so you’ll want to use the standard of custom color calibrated profile for creative work where accuracy is important. Speaking of which, the colors on the screen are in general, vibrant and well-saturated with a full 8-bit color depth that covers 99% sRGB color gamut.The contrast of this monitor is good at 3000:1, displaying dark blacks and bright whites, and the visual performance is pretty uniform across the screen – provided you’re sitting centered in front of it. Because this is a VA panel, there is a slight color shift at off angles, so while the visuals are great for a single viewer, this monitor may not provide the same experience when there are multiple viewers seated in different positions around the screen. At full 2560x1440 resolution (1440p), text is crisp, clear, and easy to read. While the monitor’s fastest refresh rate is 165 Hz, note that this can only be achieved over a DisplayPort connection and if connecting via HDMI, the max refresh rate you’ll get is 144 Hz, which is still plenty fast.The monitor does support Adaptive Sync for AMD FreeSync Premium, but if you’re using a contemporary NVIDIA GPU, you may still be able to enable G-SYNC for the display, but again, only when connected via DisplayPort and performance/compatibility is not guaranteed. Adaptive Sync over HDMI is available with AMD GPUs. For me, G-Sync appeared to be working just fine with my GTX 1070 and gaming in large, fast-paced arenas like Fortnite and CS:GO was a super smooth with tear-free motion. The monitor’s OSD is accessible by pressing any of the 4 buttons on the back or clicking the 4-way joystick. You can custom set the functions for the OSD buttons and change the various settings like adaptive sync, frame rate display, and response time in the full menu. Interestingly there’s a soft blue downlight in the center of the screen that you can toggle by simply tapping just under the logo, but you can also turn it off altogether in the menu as well as disable the light in the power button.The bezels around the screen are razor thin, though keep in mind there’s about a ¼ inch border from the viewable screen to the bezel as well, so there will be a gap in multi-monitor setups, albeit a pretty small one. One thing to note is that this monitor does not have built-in speakers, so you won’t be able to hear audio out of the monitor itself. However, it can pass through audio via DP/HDMI to the AUX output port adjacent to the video inputs, to which you can attach a set of headphones or external speakers. This model also does not have a USB hub, so you won’t be able to connect or power USB devices off of it.Overall, I’ve been pretty happy with the performance of this screen for gaming. It’s fast, smooth, bright and immersive. It’s even pretty good for watching movies on. For productivity applications and creative work, I’m a bit more ambivalent because you can tell that the screen is curved when you track your eyes along the bottom and at the sides and your eyes have to move over a greater distance, which can be distracting depending on what you’re working on; so when I don’t need all that screen real estate, I just work in a smaller window centered on the screen instead.
