#1. I've never met a single gamer who preferred a 32" monitor to a 27" monitor for gaming.
#2. S3220DGF has one of the worst response times ever compared to any modern or similar model made to date.
#3. S3220DGF doesn't break 300 nits of brightness in any test.
#4. S2721DGF beats the S3220DGF in gray uniformity, color calibration potential, color gamut, HDR color volume, reflection, text clarity, and almost every other consivable area of quantifying a gaming monitor.
#5. It's not close, the response time on the S32 is absolutely abysmal. 14.8 ms total response time, this is getting towards bad television response time. To compare the S27 is 6.3 which is less than half the time required for the S32. This is bad like so bad. It's so bad that it's point two and point five.
#6. Total dark response time is _22 ms_ while it's 6 ms on the model OP listed... that's probably one of the worst test results ever measured on a 165Hz display...
-Excellent gray uniformity
-Superb SDR color gamut
-Amazing viewing angel
-Excellent ergonomics
-Great reflection handling
-Poor black uniformity (common issue on IPS)
-Low contrast (common issue on IPS)
-Disappoint accuracy out of the box (common issue, ICC profile calibration needed from here-> https://www.rtings.com/assets/pag...rofile.ic
Outstanding response time (6.3 ms total) but it does have 4% overshoot error. Fantastic low input lag at 3.7 ms at native resolution.
Price wise this ws $234 two months ago via a 10% news letter code mixed with $62.83 honey cash back. It's been hovering around $310 for a few weeks now and used to come with a $50 dell gift card and was urlhasbeenblocked cashback potential too.
This is a great monitor if not one of the best available in it's specs but it also has hovered at this price for a few months now and offered more rewards for less multiple times.

How are you getting the 8%?
Still have not ship confirmation, called BB CS and he saw it was in warehouse awaiting shipment. Bought it Monday so.......
does it include a displayport cable? Will I get the 165hz with an AMD RX580 video card?

Is there really that big a difference in Dell IPS vs VA?
I'm not sure if its brightness or not being used to IPS panel, but everything looks alot brighter and even though I turn down the brightness /contrast/ RGB, my old Dell 2716DG feels more comfortable to the eye.
And when playing games everything seems darker / colors more saturated.
Anyone have any ideas? good calibration method? You can google "S2721DGF eye strain" and see several results as well.
