Coming from an IPS that has nice colors but really bothered my eyes. I bought this a week ago

Was worried about the curve, worried about the VA panel but upon getting this, WOW! Best monitor I have ever had, amazing darks, super colors and the curve is awesome! After a few days you do not even know it is curved

Will never go back to a flat panel!
Yes, it is a VA panel but it's one of the better ones. I have this and the colors are great for a VA.
S3220dgf is better and is occasionally the same price.

Quote from FuschiaRaccoon516 :
Unless there is a crazy price difference on something, NEVER buy from Dell directly if you can avoid it lol. Im sure some people get orders just fine, but if something goes wrong they are incredibly hard to work with. Dell is probably the worse consumer PC company to buy from right now (although this monitor is actually very solid, I own it and its great value).

Best Buy is much easier to speak to, they have a very good Chat Window, and also they'll even price match websites if the site is credible, has it in stock, and you can confirm its the same model number. You just need to speak with a Best Buy rep via chat window/over the phone when you want to purchase the item and they'll take care of it

I have to fully 100% disagree.. I've dealt with their costumer service pretty extensively and I'm talking into the hours... No issues and everyone was really cool.

Dead serious.. everyone was nice as hell to me and went out of their way to help me with try to get things solved.

I returned a G15 that was not working right and had thermals extremely high. It was escalated up to a manager in Texas. The guy was very patient and wanting to get things sorted out so I was happy. He would even ask how my family was doing and how my day was. Like great customer service.. to the extent it was the best experience I had overall from any company. Really nice guy!

Then my new Alienware isn't working with any of my photo editing programs. The guy spends 2.5 hours on the phone with me as we trouble shoot.. talking to me like a normal dude the whole time he's sitting in Costa Rica WFH trying to help. It ends up being Alienware Command Center has a bug that conflicts with photo images. He's already checked back twice since Monday to see how the tech teams suggestions are working. Also just a really nice guy . he's 59 lives alone and really misses his son he never hears from back in California.

I usually don't write posts this long on here ever, but wanted to give some context to my reply. Sometimes you get another nice human being to talk to that wants to help you out.

Have a good day!

Can someone with an Xbox Series S or X confirm that 1440P 120hz with freesync works with this? Neither of my 32" 1440P monitors do it via HDMI with my Xbox. No problems with multiple PCs with the same cable and port.

While this monitor may be good for gaming, it Sucks for text, Text is blurry unless sitting directly in front of it (and I mean directly) just moving my head up or down the text is clear directly on front of me but any text above or below my face gets blurry. maybe it is just me but I have tried to celebrate this monitor many times with no avail. FYI I have a 2 monitor set up. Maybe for a 1 monitor set up it will be OK. anyone know Dells return policies.

IMHO My 3 year Samsung from Sam's club is better

Second this, debating between this one than the G5, kind of leaning toward G5 for its 1000R curvature

Interestingly enough, I'm moving away from the dual s2721dgf's I have to just this monitor by itself.

I have had no issues from my 2721s — I just wanted to reclaim some desk space and the dual monitor setup is more headache than it is helpful for gaming situations.

horrible viewing angles unless you're literally staring directly at the pixel. with monitors getting larger and larger, side sides and tops of the monitor are blurry even if you're sitting front and center of the monitor. nevermind having a 2nd VA panel off to the side. IPS only

Right.....But..... I cant seem to find a 32" IPS Curved monitor.
Maybe I should just forget the curve and get a highly rated IPS

I got a curved monitor for my wife a couple years back and it has blurry text unless its on a certain setting. Kinda bizzare, as games and text in games looks just fine, but then documents and webpages are fudged. Can't remember what settings caused this, but her settings are set to something along the lines of "staring at the sun". Doesn't bother her but it drives me nuts.

thanks for this feedback, it helps me decide not to buy it. i'll mainly be using it for text viewing, along with charts etc so probably won't be for me.
