Dell's 31.6 inch 4K QD OLED monitor stands out for its vivid picture, glossy finish, and smooth 120 hertz refresh, with strong results for gaming and everyday desktop use. The built in speakers are unusually capable for a monitor, and USB C makes it easy to connect and charge a laptop, with enough rear space to hide a small hub for a cleaner setup. The main drawbacks are limited connectivity, with no DisplayPort and only one HDMI port, plus brightness that runs lower than expected. Text on dark backgrounds can also be less comfortable than IPS, making it a solid fit when image quality matters most.
Laptop workers who want a single USB-C display, because it can charge and connect a laptop while keeping a clean desk setup.
The built-in speakers are unusually strong for a gaming monitor, with 5 speakers totaling 25W. They are also reported to sound better than a MacBook Pro's speakers.
The picture quality is described as very good, vivid, and glossy, with 120Hz feeling great for refresh. It is also noted as a strong budget OLED option, though brightness is lower than average.
It lacks a built-in dock/hub and KVM-style switching, and using two computers may require a USB-C to DisplayPort bi-directional cable. USB-A ports are also limited, which can be inconvenient for wireless receivers.
A USB-C cable is included, and it works with a MacBook Pro for charging and display. There is no DisplayPort, only one HDMI port, and the HDMI cable is not included.
It can work well for office use with a clean single USB-C setup, and there is enough space behind the monitor to hide a mini USB hub. A firmware update is needed to fix a macOS bug that blocks variable refresh rate when HDR is enabled, and the update requires a Windows PC.

I have this monitor (Costco) for a gaming PC
Good/bad
Picture is very good, as you should be expecting from OLED. Vivid and the screen is glossy, but doesn't appear to be AS glossy as an LG. Good balance.
Bad (sort of). A gaming OLED has a pixel shift tech to prevent burn in... This has a maintenance refresh. Not sure if that is the same thing...
No Display Port or device dock/hub. Other higher end monitors will let you connect a single mouse/keyboard and 2 PC's, and they switch the mouse/keyboard to the device being displayed.
For gaming, I understand that the Ultrawide (21:9) and curved, is supposed to be the deal... I'm probably buying an LG OLED Ultrawide and see which one I prefer.
Overall, it's a great monitor. I believe rtings gave it the best budget OLED monitor.
Got this for office use. It's nice. There is enough space in the back to hide/store a mini usb hub if you need to attach dongles and run a clean setup with a single usb c cable to charge and connect a laptop.

Hyperrealistic 3D sound from 2 alarm clock speakers and a 5W amplifier lol
Have you even gone through the specification before posting your sarcastic comments? I guess not. This has one of the best speakers available across any gaming monitors. This has 5 Speakers with a total output of 25W which is same as some of the budget OLED/Mini LED TVs
Can anyone help me figure out how tall this is if the monitor is pushed all the way down on the stand?
Got to fit the new display on the hutch opening we currently have.

I got this at Costco for $500.
1.A USB-C cable is included, and it works perfectly with my 16" MacBook Pro.
2.There is no DisplayPort and only one HDMI port. An HDMI cable is not included.
3.The speakers are impressive.
4.This monitor is best suited for non-gaming purposes as a single display.
I would have considered this for work if it had two USB-A ports. Almost every wireless receiver is USB-A still. The USB-C ports are kinda useless, especially at 3.0 speeds and 15W charging.
I was wondering about the 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio but it turns out that "due to rising black levels caused by the lack of a traditional polarizer, which can make their performance inferior to other OLED types",

From the "Dimensions and weight" popup on the product page[dell.com], 19.84 in. (614.02 mm / 504.02 mm).

Can you use a USB-C to USB-A adapter?

You could buy $2 USB-C to USB-A adapters...
