Review on πŸ’» Dell S3221QS Ultra Thin 4K Display with DisplayPort Certification, Flicker-Free Technology, Tilt Adjustment, Anti-Glare Screen, and High Dynamic Range by Adam Chavez

Good general monitor for a software developer

Overall I'm very happy with this 32-inch 4K curved monitor and think it's the perfect size for a software developer. Pros: 1) Ideal size with 1.25x zoom for two windows beside enough space to see the diff code with two panels each. 2) Wakes up from sleep much faster than Dell monitors since the early 2010s and offers faster auto-switching for a dual-input configuration. 3) The curvature helps bring the left and right edges a little closer together without having to turn your head left or right Part is very dark (e.g. two browsers side by side, one with a white background and the other with a black background) , then the bright parts are (possibly) very blurry (low contrast) and sometimes a bit difficult to read. I consider this a critical flaw for many, but for my workflow I keep all windows with light backgrounds so I don't run into this problem in practice. 2) Pixels disappear closer to the left and right edges due to the viewing angle. I don't have to worry about enough pixels for my workflow, but if there were a one-pixel border, it would disappear at most viewing angles. 3) I've had the monitor for about a month and so far there has been the only case where the monitor went black for a short time. I've seen this on previous 4k monitors and suspect this issue is due to cable quality. Overall, that's a low number for this issue, so I'm currently optimistic that it won't be an issue. All in all, this is the best monitor I've ever owned. I briefly tried an ultra wide monitor (34" 3440 x 1440 160Hz refresh rate) but returned it because the text was too pixelated (it worked without scaling) and too wide but not tall enough. great for gaming , but since I spend a lot more time developing software, it's not that important.
