Isn't 32in to big for 1440p making it look bad??

Its fine, I transitioned from a 32 inch 1080p to a 32 inch 4k monitor just recently. The 4k is a improvement in some areas, but image quality might not be necessarily be one of them depending on the display. To tell you the truth I think color gamut has a bigger impact on image quality. I noticed b/c my old 1080p was a brilliant IPS display while my newer 4k Dell monitor is a high refresh rate VA panel that while still good, is not great.

Have been using 32" 1440 for a couple of years. It's good. imo no need for any larger.

I had Dell's 27inch gaming monitor (not for gaming purposes) which looks exactly like this and this stand makes the monitor wobble quite significantly as you type. Like a lowkey bubble head. It was getting annoying and I had to return. So may not be best to use as a work monitor. Not sure if it applies to the 32inch version but again the stand looks identical. If used in different surfaces it'd be awesome. Loved the super smooth video quality. Just my $0.02.

This is a bit too big for my space. Can anyone recommend or point me in a direction for something more around 24-27 inch? Ideally, I would like to use for my xbox S, Dell work laptop and MacBook Air (wish not required).

If they ever release a monitor with dual native resolution but it's 1440p high refresh for gaming while 4K is used for productivity I would upgrade in a heartbeat. Razer has a laptop with FHD and 4K switchable native res for reference.

I have two Dell S2721 DS monitors. I am wondering if it is worth upgrading to this monitor.

for the past couple of year been using the Dell S3219D, so this G3223D would be a good step up, right?

Currently have a 49" samsung ultra wide. Great monitor but it is massive and the curve makes it just so much bigger. Any recommendations on 2 of these on a stand si raised off the desk?

Another feature that hasn't hit the gaming line is "IPS black", waiting for that

Do you need high refresh rate? I'd say no for general pc usage/movies/etc. if gaming, etc id say only 1 monitor needs to be upgraded.

I don't play game. Mostly coding, side-by-side windows like Putty and VS code or sometimes 3 windows. I feel the 27 is a bit small when split into 2 windows. Maybe I'll upgrade one monitor to this 32". Thanks

How does this compare to the S3422DWG that was recently available for $380? If I'm not a hard-core gamer, is it still worth $80 to wait for that deal to come back, or for basic productivity should I just save my money and grab this one? Besides the extra 2 inches and curved screen, are there other features that monitor has that this one doesn't?

That one uses a VA panel instead of the IPS that this uses. However, the 34inch ultrawide has a really good review on Rtings and I'm still sad that I missed that because an old monitor of mine just died and I need something good preferably asap, and since I almost exclusively work in a dark room the blacks of the VA panel sound good.

Anyway, they're very different also because one is ultrawide and one is standard. Hard to give a suggestion without knowing your exact desires/needs.

Also if it means anything I decided to order this one both because I need it now and it makes more sense for what I'm using it for. The IPS panel was a factor, and I would most likely need a new GPU to run things at the ultrawide resolution.

I have both and I eventually settled on the ultrawide. Some food for thought:

32" can be a little overwhelming for FPS gaming but amazing for other games because it's so immersive. Takes a little getting used to.
The 32" would make more sense for console gaming.
The ultrawide is the height of a 27" screen so it's easier for FPS games
Not all games support ultrawide so you may have to deal with black bars
Ultrawide is amazing for cinematic movies
Having side-by-side windows open for productivity on the ultrawide is really nice. Something I use often. Explorer windows for copying files easily or 2 streaming browsers open at the same time.
I don't notice any significant difference between the VA and IPS panels. Both are excellent.
I find the PPI is noticeably better on the ultrawide (109 vs 91). Text is sharper which I prefer.
The quality of the Dell displays is top notch. Having a 3 year warranty is awesome. So either of them would be a good choice
