About this deal

The OSD is well designed and worth spending a bit of time getting to know. Along with the obvious controls found on all monitors you will be able to tweak your response rate, HDR settings and even set up four shortcut keys if you so desire. For those without a colourimeter there are eight preset colour modes to choose from, with three game profiles you can program and store as well as a general custom colour profile. To that end, Dell serves up a 32-inch, curved VA panel with a 1440p resolution and AMD FreeSync 2. On paper, at least, that’s an impressive slate of features for mainstream gaming. Price and availability closs.sebastien said:2560x1440 for a 32 inch? no way. we don't want so big pixels. I use a 4k on a 27'. The display’s Delta E of 1.64 and colour temperature of 6519K are both excellent, and they create accurate colours – both figures are below the point where human eyes will detect inaccuracies. The panel’s sRGB coverage level of 95.5% is high enough to ensure that this display can render virtually every shade required by mainstream games and movies. https://www.dell.com/community/Monitors/S3220DGF-revision-A03-still-no-1440p120Hz-over-HDMI/m-p/7640772

Cheers, and I fully agree with your point. I went from TN to IPS, which was a big change and I also had concerns about VA, more so for the viewing angles. We sat about 3 feet away and had no trouble discerning the finest details in photos or in moving images. The bonus color is nice to have for all conten, even though it isn’t strictly accurate. Tell Technical Support or Customer Care to open the Dell internal OKB (Oracle Knowledgebase). Tell them to search for SLN322482 = Dell S3220DGF Has a New 120Hz Refresh Mode with Firmware Revision A03"The Dell is only suitable for mainstream work situations, too. While it’s adept at handling colours in the sRGB gamut, it’s no good with Adobe RGB. As with gaming, the Dell is ideal for mainstream situations, but it doesn’t have the versatility for anything beyond that, so content creators should look elswhere. Conclusion So having slightly bigger one, curved and 165Hz with HDR seems like the best combination for home, right? The Dell’s logos use a blue, metallic shade, but that’s it for ornamentation. Subtle gunmetal plastic is used throughout, the stand is a sleek pillar of metal, and the base is smart, flat, and ideal for peripheral storage. The bezels are slim, and the build quality is consistently impressive. Dell’s display also has height, pivot, and tilt adjustment, but no portrait mode option which, again, is entirely normal for a curved monitor. I have tried to express this to Dell to no avail. They have attempted to connect me to Customer Care multiple times and each time I get disconnected. When I try and call the number they gave me I get general technical support.

The difference in setup was jarring, there is simply no comparison between plugging in a single DP cable, one USB cable for the hub and a power cord to the set up of three monitors. What would be a bit of time to get the displays connected, swap the cords that don’t want to reach, convincing the graphics driver where the monitors were physically and then fiddling with the mount until the displays were lined up took only seconds.The Dell S3220DGF is the brand’s mid-level model released in 2020. Thanks to its low input lag and high refresh rate, it promises to deliver a fast gaming experience compared to other mid-level models. I am coming from a 27" QHD monitor and I think the text may be a little less sharp but it is more than acceptable.

Yeah I get that. Same goes for just about all higher hz monitors. It’s just when people say, “super fast is better”. Why is it better? You have to be noticing something for that response to be, “better”. Seems I’ll just have to be patient and see for myself. Thanks though. Reply The 32in diagonal and gentle curve make the Dell an absorbing option – great if you want to really get lost in your games.

There's no need for calibration when the S3220DGF is in its default Standard mode. You’ll have to use the DCI-P3 color gamut for all content since there is no sRGB mode. Of course, if you do like displays with wild design and plenty of lighting, the Dell doesn’t fit the bill. Alienware will be more your style. and va... is not from the past? no new fast-ips?The DPI of 1440p at 32" is the same as a 1080p at 24" so that isn't bad. Also VA is the panel type used on the majority of LED TVs. While IPS is nice, I prefer VA for the added contrast. Beneath this, you’ll find a VA panel with 10-bit colour and a 4ms response time. Again, those figures are more suited to single-player gaming and mainstream eSports gameplay – that response time needs to be lower for high-level competition. https://www.dell.com/community/Customer-Care/I-need-help-with-a-product-exchange-Dell-Support-hangs-up-on-me/m-p/7716255
