If the product isn't to your satisfaction it'll be a hassle to deal with

This looks much better than the Dell S3220DGF with sRGB l, 1ms response, and low blue light & flicker free... Disregarding neweggs return policy - for the same price isn't this a better deal?

It's not a bad deal really sabaster. Great monitor (https://www.rtings.com/monitor/re...byte/g32qc) at a historically good price.

As in all situations, your use case will dictate whether it is ideal for you personally. If it does what you need/want and fits your budget, pull the trigger.

Newegg does worry folks some times with monitors due to the return policy (from what I have been reading). That might be the only blip.

Amazon's $$ has not yet come down to this level though so few options at the price point. Happy hunting.

I've never really used a curved monitor besides quickly in-store. I can see how curved might enhance experience for gaming. I'm not a gamer but am in market for a 32" or so *for regular office work*. I know specs (response and refresh rate) are bit overkill for this use case but company is paying for it

Any feedback on whether curved helps or hurts (or neither) for working on spreadsheets, browsing, writing Word docs and truly fun stuff like that? Thanks in advance!

The monitor itself is a great deal, newegg is an awful retailer these days though.
If this was in 35" for more money I'd be all over it.

Lot of Gigabyte monitors fail randomly. Combine that with Newegg's terrible customer service lately and it sounds like this "deal" is one to be avoided.

Oh really? I don't have a lot of knowledge about Gigabyte displays or their support and this deal is tempting me. I know that newegg can be challenging to deal with, but I was hoping that maybe Gigabyte would be the way to go if you had any issues with a bad product.

"Disregarding Newegg's return policy" = "other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
