And your definition of screen real estate is unconventional too - typically it is absolutely about how much can be seen on a given browser window, etc. This is a function of pixels and scaling, yes, but a 4K monitor at 200% scaling for you will look amazing, I use 125% and I can absolutely fit more work on my screens and have it be very clear than you could approach on a large 1080p panel like you describe.
1440p text on a 32" is a little blurry for me, but that's what I use for a gaming monitor and you're right, in games it's much harder to tell but it's nice not to play the 4K pixel tax!

Also I'm not even sure what you're saying regarding real estate. A 4K monitor has 4x the "real estate" of a 1080p monitor.
I agree details aren't ideal compared to 2k or 4k but I would much rather have 32" than 24" for work. I've had 24", 27", and 32" on the same desk and if I want to pull up a YouTube video or play a PC game then screen real estate wins every time.
Real estate meaning bigger physical picture, not how much pixels and windows you can fit in a smaller screen at higher resolutions. I'm glad 4k owners can enjoy size 10 font at even a smaller perspective if that's your thing. For gaming then go with a 4k and 3080. For office use I would hate to have everything shrunk.
Sending this out into the workshop. Maybe it's not so bad all alone, but I won't be looking at it all day.
Usually I really like Dell S series monitors so I was really disappointed.

Doesn't make sense in 2021.
Decided to replace the 27" and went with this Dell curved 32" 4K and I like it. I'm glad I replaced the 27". The curve is nice as on a flat 32" I found I moved my head more to look at side menus/commands/edges of spreadsheets, etc. and it's nice to have the two 32" 4Ks side by side for the added space when dealing with data flows.
While a 27" 1080p is fully usable and I did use up until a year or so ago, having used a variety of sizes and resolutions of monitors side-by-side I strongly disagree with those who claim a 4K isn't a better experience for office productivity work.
For multiple monitor productivity: Any that has matching sizes
For single monitor productivity: Go for an ultrawide that is larger than 34"
For the average use, light-gaming and home productivity machine I would recommend better speakers, mouse pad, peripherals, anything over dumping the extra cost for 4k. Same argument goes for aliasing on video games. Sure you can spend an extra $800 on a graphics card to remove that one jaggy on Lara Croft's cleave at 120fps, but maybe you're better off getting a better office chair.
For bang for buck 1080 is still good for me. If that pixel is really bugging you then go for the 4k. We're talking enthusiast vs consumer preferences here. And the Dell monitor listed is not an enthusiast monitor. I'd rather have 2 1080's side by side than one 4k at the same price and half the size.

I've had poor luck with Samsung monitors, don't love my LG, and have been impressed with my Monoprice for the value.
No support for other OS and you will not be able to use split screen and other settings such as move mode, game mode , comfort mode and others..
