Fyi, VA Panel

Go to Comment

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.

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

Common Questions (5)

The VA panel is favored by some for deeper blacks and avoiding IPS glow and bleed, while IPS is preferred for direct viewing and text. If you sit centered and want black levels that look truly black, VA can be the better fit; if you prioritize off-angle consistency and text clarity, IPS may be preferable.
rhash cloudpierre StrongCreator3879
It is reported to be good for direct viewing in a light-controlled room, and 4K Windows scaling can make text look very crisp and reduce eye fatigue. For text-heavy use, 150% to 175% scaling is a practical sweet spot; 100% scaling at 4K can make UI elements smaller and harder to click accurately.
teaberry thenewdesign
It is described as one of the best options at this price, with multiple buyers saying there are not many better choices for the money. The 27-inch IPS equivalent is also called extremely good for the price, which suggests the line is competitive across sizes.
Grainy99 thenewdesign
Dell's 32-inch VA models are reported to have held up well for several years with no problems, and the warranty was described as very good. One caveat is that prior Dell curved monitors were said to have problems and poor support, so experience may depend on the specific model.
StrongCreator3879 MetsToWS
It does not have a USB hub. It can run at 4K 120Hz, but one user could not get 1440p at 120Hz in Windows 11.

I currently have and use the Dell 32 inch S3220 and I sold my Dell 32 inch S3222 (didn't need both). I think that these VA panel monitors from Dell are arguably top of the line. No problems at all with either after owning for several years and the warranty on them was very good. Refresh rate on both was 165 Hz with Display port connection or 144 Hz with HDMI ( I use DP). Great for gaming and general use. As far as VA panels having worse off angle viewing then IPS, why would I sit off angle? I don't have experience with the S3225QS listed, but if my two monitors are any indication of value then go for it!

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

Do you increase font size for text @4k with 27" size? Wondering if the text would be too small for me at 27" 4K?

I do, when you use Windows' display scaling it uses more pixels to render the same text characters so you get this hyper smoothed, precise text that in my experience writing code all day reduces eye fatigue a ton for text at smaller sizes and makes reading much more enjoyable overall. Attached is this same comment thread at 150% Windows scaling ( left ) and 100% scaling ( right ). You fit less on screen but things end up looking more attractive and modern for the most part. Sometimes when I'm doing non-code reading for an extended period I'll dial up scaling to 175% to make text even more crispy looking across the board, but how much to scale is a personal preference. I do think using things at 100% scaling for 4k at 27" over a long period of time would be annoying because it makes the UI elements like tabheads and buttons slightly harder to hit, so you have to be more precise with your mouse movements, etc.

Example of the text rendering I was talking about, may be hard to pick up on-screen depending on your screen's resolution
