Dell's product listing: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...ccessories
That's a hell of a deal for a Dell 32" 4K 120Hz OLED! I paid about this much for a similarly-spec'ed Dell IPS about a year ago. Very happy with it, but I'd much rather have this one.

Great price... but now let's compare with using a comparably price 48" 4k OLED as a monitor.

I already daily drive a 32:9 about as wide as the 48" TV.

Good luck!

Bought one from an earlier post. Can't make the speakers sound for unknown reason. Had to request a replacement from Costco

4k 48" is 92 PPI
4k 32" is 138 PPI
2k 27" is 108 PPI
I don't understand why anyone would use a 42" or 48" 16:9 monitor.. especially if you're sitting close

My calculated comfort zone is about 70 PPI. I used to run a 20" Sony Trinitron at 1152 by 864. When 32" 1080p LCD panels became commodity items that became my daily driver. These days my primary daily driver is a 28" 4k display, but I run it at 150% for comfort. Bigger pixels is where it is at for me. LMAO

Good luck!

48" 16:9 for a monitor is too big for most. For OLED TVs, 42" 16:9 is the sweet spot. If you're going with wider aspect ratio displays like 21:9 or 32:9, you can get away with 48"+ because it's less straining for human eyes to scan side-to-side versus up-and-down.

Lots of posts on Reddit and other forums discussing the 42 vs 48 OLED TV debate; almost everyone recommends 42.

I don't contest those recommendations, but consider two critical data points for me:

On average, most people are younger than me
On average, most people have better near vision than me

The collected advice on screen size is solid for the average buyer... but consider the above I'm probably the outlier. LMAO

Good luck!

Yeah u need to have better than 20/20 near eyesight IME if you are going to use 100% scaling to make most use of it. I can't sit closer than 2ft to mine otherwise can't fit entire screen in FOV.

Dell 240 hz curved version works way better than this one. It's $899 at Microcenter & 1199 at other places. But if you game at 120 hz or below, this is good
