Community Reviews

This Dell 31.5 inch 4K 120 hertz VA monitor stands out for sharp text, strong contrast, and solid value for a large desktop display. The 4K panel is praised for direct viewing in a light controlled room, and the anti glare finish is reported to work well in a bright office. It also supports 4K at 120 hertz, though 1440p at 120 hertz was not available in Windows 11 and there is no USB hub. VA off angle behavior and Dell support are the main cautions, especially for anyone who prefers IPS or sits off center.

  • The 27-inch equivalent VA/anti-glare experience is reported as strong in a well-lit office.

  • The monitor can deliver clear 4K text viewing in a light-controlled room setup.

  • Windows 11 display scaling can improve text comfort for code and long reading sessions.

  • Dell VA 32-inch monitors reportedly performed well over years with good warranty support.

    StrongCreator3879

  • 4K text clarity can vary with Windows scaling, and 100% scaling may make UI elements harder to click accurately.

  • Windows 11 reportedly cannot run 1440p at 120Hz on this monitor, while 4K works at 120Hz.

    teaberry

  • The monitor reportedly lacks a USB hub, which can add extra desk clutter for peripherals.

  • Curved viewing reportedly can be less comfortable for reading glasses, which may push buyers toward flat screens.

For direct viewing and text, IPS Panel is preferable!!

I have two 32" curved monitors from Dell, each with their own problems. Dell is dead to me. Never again. Support is awful.

Started wearing reading glasses and that's crept up on me real fast. But reason I mention this... Reading glasses don't do well with curved monitors I've found.

So I'm tempted to hit up a flat screen again. Has me looking at this. Price kinda has me looking away and back again. Not sure.

I'm debating as well. Check Amex offers too, I have $100 off $500 which would put me at $500 (inc tax) for 2 of these

Edit: Also 4% back on Dell Monitors on Raku. Think I'm in, just debating between 2 IPS 27s for $400 vs 2 VA 32s for $505

The 27" equiv is IPS and extremely good for the price. Typing this from an array of 3 of them as we speak, thinking about adding 3 more above these

$229 on Amazon

The anti-glare is really good on these 27"-ers too, this is a well lit room ( my office )

the age old debate. personal preference. i prefer VA. after years of playing panel lottery with countless monitors for different uses IPS tend to have glow and bleed which i find to be more annoying and intrusive than any issues i experience with VA (on average) . i also like my blacks to actually look black.

Which model? Is it the one that has not been available for a while?
You have them side by side but what's the issue with it?

Curved monitors should be preferred if you have an prescription immediate glass (between reading and distance). I measure the distance from my eyes to my monitors and then asks the optometrist to give me prescription glass at that distance. I have 3 4K flats but so the setup is a curve configuration equal distant to my eyes. See if this method works better for you.

I have this monitor and it's good for direct viewing in a light controlled room. I haven't figured out why I cant do 1440p in 120hz in Windows 11, it will do 4k at 120hz. No USB hub if it matters

2nd that! Added a pair of these last month and for the price, don't think there are many better options. Did a lot of research and one of the best options for the price.
