Dell monitor 32 inch 4K
considering S3221QS

The Dell S3221QS is a solid 4K, 31.5-inch curved monitor for its affordable price tag.
Colours are accurate, edges are sharp and there’s no screen tearing in videos or gaming,
even with FreeSync turned off. The curve means less travel
for the eye across the large display,
making it comfortable at a viewing distance of 60–70cm.
But viewing angles are so poor that dark websites
and videos are brighter close to the corners unless you tilt the screen upwards.
It can also wash out dark scenes in games or movies, which becomes more obvious in low-light rooms.

The plastic shell of the Dell S3221QS isn’t going to turn heads,
especially with its dull, black fascia.
But where a monitor this size could easily crowd a room,
the slim bezels, white back panel and silver stand reduces its visual impact –
although a white stand would’ve better matched the monitor’s aesthetic.
considering S3221QS
The stand is sturdy and weighs about 3.1kg. It doesn’t wobble easily
and holds the monitor firmly in place. It’s height-
adjustable, although anyone taller than about 180cm or six feet will need to prop it up
on something else (a common complaint of a tall person)

It can tilt up and down – an important feature to fix its viewing angles – but doesn’t swivel
and only pivots about five degrees, so no portrait mode.
Removing the stand reveals a VESA-compatible (100 x 100) mounting area
on the back for attaching a different stand or monitor arms.
But keep in mind that not all arms can handle this monster’s 7.4kg weight.

Brightness, contrast and colour accuracy are the three strengths of the S3221QS.
It supports 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 colour,
making it an affordable, if imperfect, option for professional video and image editors.
The panel shows no light bleed and colours are consistent across the whole area.
Fast-paced motion in video and gaming is smooth, objects are clearly defined,
and there’s no screen tearing or artifacting.
But at times panning camera shots can introduce some noticeable stutter.
