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 Chris Yarborough

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for office work or programmers

I really wanted this monitor to work, it has all the keywords I was looking for: thin bezel, 4K, 32 inches and curved! I ordered 2 separately, one came early and the box wasn't even sealed, I guess that's the fault of the delivery person. Tape ripped off while wearing. I checked the item immediately to see if there was any damage to the fairing or any parts missing. Luckily I didn't find any physical damage but I was very disappointed with the image quality. Since this is a VA panel which has a narrower viewing angle compared to an IPS panel, even though it's curved, I still feel like everything on the side of the monitor looks washed out and washed out. I tried to get there but ended up having to lean towards that area so I could see more clearly. This might be fine if you're not a heavy PC user like me who stares at a screen for more than 8 hours a day. It works great when watching videos, especially from a short distance, but it's very difficult for me to use this monitor to view code. I've tried scaling it to 125% and 150% but the characters are still not as clear as they used to be. everything looks like you're looking through very thin fogged glass and gets worse as you get closer to the edges. Budget. However, if you are going to buy a monitor for office work, avoid monitors with VA panel and opt for IPS monitors.

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • So far, so good
