Nach ber zwei Jahren Homeoffice mit meinem relativ kleinen Laptop-Bildschirm, wurde es Zeit fr ein Upgrade der Arbeitsoberflche.
Da ich meistens parallel in zwei Anwendungen arbeite, habe ich mir diesen 21:9 Monitor gekauft und mit Windows FancyZones die fr mich optimale Aufteilung des Bildschirms erstellt. Es sind auch jede Menge anderer Aufteilungen mglich, sodass jeder Anwendende fr sich die bestmgliche Arbeitsoberflche individuell erstellen kann.
Das Bild ist angenehm ruhig und die Darstellung klar. Lediglich rechts und links an den ueren Rndern wird, trotz curved-Design, das Bild etwas matschig wenn man genau mittig vor dem Monitor sitzt.
Die Anschlussmglichkeiten sind zwar vielfltig, aber etwas schlecht sicht- und erreichbar. Das bedeutet, um Kabel vernnftig anschlieen zu knnen, musste ich den Monitor hinlegen und dann nach oben kippen. Etwas fummelig, aber wenn die Kabel erstmal richtig sitzen und man nicht stndig umstpselt, hinnehmbar.
Die Bedientasten liegen etwas versteckt, rechts unterhalb des Bildschirms und sind nicht bedienbar ohne das der ganze Monitor leicht in Bewegung gert. Das habe ich schon besser gelst gesehen, indem die Tasten vorne am Bildschirm angebracht sind.
Alles in allem, bis auf die kleinen, gerade beschriebenen Mankos, ein guter Monitor mit dem sich, wenn erstmal alles installiert ist, gut arbeiten lsst, der einige sinnvolle Zusatzfunktionen hat und der auch schick aussieht.
eat, modern and works well. lovely size for my desk. great quality.
Die Lieferung erfolgte nach 2 Werktagen sehr schnell und vllig problemlos, so, wie ich es von Amazon kenne. Die innere Verpackung des Monitors ist hochwertig, die uere Verpackung war bei mir durch den Transport ein wenig in Mitleidenschaft gezogen – drinnen alles tutti. Aufbau hat keine 5 Minuten gedauert. Beim ersten Einschalten kleines Dialogfenster unten rechts, in dem die Landessprache abgefragt wird und ein paar Grundeinstellungen ermittelt werden; der Rest kann jederzeit ber die 3 Menknpfe gendert werden. Helligkeit und Kontrast sind ausreichend gut und ermglichen ein Arbeiten, bei dem die Augen nicht gleich ermden.
Ich benutze den Computer zum Arbeiten, nicht fr’s Gaming – entsprechend kann ich hierzu keine Angaben machen. Der Sound, der aus dem Monitor kommt ist ok – auch hier bin ich kein Experte. Fr Apple Music reicht es vllig aus.
Es gibt Rezensionen, in denen zu lesen ist, dass der Monitor nicht mit Macs bzw. MacBooks kompatibel sind; dem ist nicht so. Auch mein kleiner MacMini funktioniert problemlos mit dem Monitor – plug and work. Verbindung bei MacBook Air M2 ber das mitgelieferte USB-C Kabel.
Die Breite des Monitors ist berzeugend: hier kann man problemlos mehrere Dokumente, PDFs etc. nebeneinander offen haben und problemlos arbeiten. Ich habe mich speziell fr diesen Monitor entschieden, weil der Standfuss relativ klein ist und somit nicht monstrs viel Platz wegnimmt (wie es bei vielen anderen Monitoren in dieser Grenordnung der Fall ist).
Einziges Manko (wenn berhaupt) ist, dass der Monitor sich nur mitsamt der Grundplatte drehen lsst, also keine Drehung ber ein Gelenk (ich muss ihn aber nicht drehen – von daher kein Punktabzug). Dafr ist der gut in der Hhe verstellbar und in der Neigung. Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden und gebe 5 Sterne, da fr mich auch das Preis / Leistungs-Verhltnis stimmt.
I purchased this for my home office and was debating between the apple screen and this screen. I read the reviews and of course the price swayed me a little. Once received I absolutely love it. It is the perfect size, the picture quality is amazing and I even play my DVD’s on it. It is amazing for the price point and works better than I had anticipated.
I would recommend this product.
I can hear the sound only from my laptop.
Also the USB C cable doesn’t work with a Macbook Pro 2022; I had to use HDMI cable which is disappointing because Macbooks these days have very few ports, so I’m using a bulky adaptor.
I was using Dell similar series for last 2 year. A fantastic piece of display for long time working. I was using external speaker with that. But after getting this life is much easier and my tabe is more clear and clean. So far I will give 4.8/5 . A good monitor for home use.
Good screen, provides all the basics at a good cost. Compared it to u2723qe and didn’t notice much difference, in fact this is even better for my setup (well lit room) as it handles the reflection better.
Great quality from Dell, as per usual. Read up on quite a lot of monitors before making a purchase. I had a few criteria for a new monitor.
– Curved Ultra wide.
– No less than a 100hz refresh rate.
– USB-C with power.
– Built in USB hub.
The monitor delivers on all of these, with one minor exception, it only has 2 USB type A slots. This is however solved easily by plugging in a small inexpensive USB hub into one of the ports.
Color accuracy is also a bonus. We all know we’re not getting an Apple Studio Display for this amount of money, but we’re getting a monitor which covers 99.8% of the sRGB gamut and 87.8% of the Adobe gamut. Which is decent enough for a monitor at this price.
The two built in 5-watt speakers are ok at best. They can be used when you’re out of options.
I use 2 computers, one a Mac & one a Windows 11 Pro PC. I can access both using the Dell monitor. There is only 2 cables connected, one is the USB-C cable to power the MacBook & the power cable for the monitor. The 2 USB-A ports are connected to wireless dongles for the wireless keyboard & mouse. Because Dell doesn’t support dell’s display manager for Mac, I decided to use Microsoft’s RDP App for Mac to access the Windows Pc. It works perfectly. Note RDP is supported only on Windows Pro & Enterprise. This avoids using another cable to connect the Windows computer to the monitor & having to navigate via the buttons under the screen to navigate to the settings to turn on PIP or PBP.
All in all, I’m very happy with the Dell screen. The speakers aren’t great but usable. So my target of minimal cables & using the same screen to access 2 computers easily has been achieved. I’ve now ordered the Dell Pro W5023 webcam so I can position it on the Dell screen for teams meetings.
My main annoyance is that this monitor was sold with a 3 year warranty from Dell, which when I checked on the Dell website to register my product it said it had already begun last year (2022) and runs out in 2025, only giving me a 2 year warranty, as I only bought it in February 2023. I contacted Dell support to ask for an extension to make it 3 years, as per the sales agreement on Amazon but had a pretty poor reply stating the end of the warranty will still be 2025.
I hope I don’t need to claim anything under the warranty period but if the monitor is sold as having a 3 year warranty, it really needs to be the 3 years or you are mis-representing the warranty. If the seller here on Amazon has any information on how to speak to Dell to get this warranty date corrected to be 3 years from my date of purchase please let me know.
It is not the best monitor out there, but it is certainly the one with most value for money. If you want a 4K monitor that works just fine, but there is no extra bells and whistles, this is the monitor for you.
At this point it became quite noticable that my monitor suffers from a ‘Red Shift’ problem, where-by dark images that move on-screen have this red ghosting effect to them that is at times, quite noticable once you are aware of this problem. Even when scrolling in the browser this Red-Shift in colour can show up especially in dark themed forums. I have tried different 4K HDMI cables, even tried using the different Monitor settings (such as Video & Game HDR modes etc) . I have even tried using my graphic card’s Display Port to HDMI and this problem still persists.
At this point I have tried everything I know and decided to return the Monitor back to the seller. However, after checking out other 4K monitors on Amazon I was quite surprised to come to the conclusion that there were NO other Monitors that stood out from the rest when comparing like-for-like, price-for-price with the Dell S3221QS!.
With this mind I went and cancelled my Return to Seller order. Of course I could just re-order this same monitor from the seller and hope that it will work as expected, but the delivery for a new monitor could take between February, early March!.
Putting aside the Red-Shift problem I am happy with the general build for this monitor, the base is solid and sturdy, the Monitor’s menu system, while a little fiddly to access, is easy to navigate through it. Connecting the HDMI to the Monitor is a bit of a pain as it required me to lay the Monitor on it’s back in order to see where the HDMI cable is inserted, but once done, it’s not something I would have to re-do anytime soon.
Using Windows 11 built-in HDR mode does enhance the picture quality considerably, this is my default setting for all my games and videos.
I’ve given this Monitor a overall rating of 4 Stars out of 5.
As an Architect, I purchased this monitor to help get the best out of AutoCAD & Revit software. When configured to how you need it, the display is great. There is plenty of screen space which is a great benefit to me and it can double up as a duel screen with two progams running side by side as there is so much space.
The picture quality is also great and very sharp when zoomed right in for technical detailing. There were zero dead pixels and no backlight bleed whatsoever, which is what I was concerned about with it being an IPS screen. There is the usual ‘IPS glow’ with this screen type when the screen is turned to black, but this is a non-issue in reality for me as it does not factor when the screen is in use.
The build quality is excellent and the stand is so easy to assemble and so sturdy and fully adjustable. Being able to swivel the screen to portrait orientation is also a great feature. I plan on taking advantage of this by playing some vertical scrolling shoot-em-ups when not working!
Delivered ahead of schedule – and not damaged – a good start. Easy to assemble and use – great little operating buttons along the bottom of the right side. Incredible price as I found them on sale – of course on Amazo
If I must, I’d say I wish there is a USB-C port.
Great monitor for videoconferencing – the camera is an upgrade from the laptop and it’s conveniently built in. Being able to charge your laptop is a big plus and helps w cable management.
After a few days using this I have to say, I love it. The colours are great out of the box, very clear on the whole screen, no dead pixels, bright and no ghosting. I think the colours could be a little better but I’m happy with them as they are. If I had the desk space I’d definitely buy another.
While it’s not USB-C, the hub is a useful aspect, I have a Pluggable TB3 dock so it wasn’t essential. I couldn’t get Displayport working and I’m not sure if this is the dock or the monitor, but it doesn’t matter, HDMI is working fine at 4K 60Hz.
I was really dubious about buying a curved screen, but I have to say that after a couple of hours, it’s a God send for me. I wear varifocal glasses for screen work and it’s very clear all over without moving my head. I find the text a little too small when working at maximum resolution but bearable and when on RDP I can adjust it anyway, specifically for those sessions.
All in all, I’m very happy with my choice, would buy another and unless you’re a serious gamer or need other capabilities (like USB-C) I’d highly recommend this.
Great monitor and using with Mac Pro M1. Camera is ok with good light but grainy with low ligh
This is a great screen with great picture quality, unfortunately the 60hz refresh rate occasionally lets it down for FPS games, slower gaming experiences look exquisite.
The speakers aren’t amazing but they have been good enough that i don’t feel compelled to go and buy PC speakers directly.
The HDMI cable is not working properly. During meeting or watching videos, causing blackouts and couple of times, reseting my laptop. So I used another cable and all good after that.
This is a great screen. Initially I didn’t like the screen curve but I quickly got used to it. I thought it would be too big as I was previously using a 24 inch monitor but actually I’d now like an even bigger monitor! There is some bleed around the edges which you can notice when you have a dark screen but it has not been a problem for me. The speakers are adequate for watching youtube etc. A minor gripe is that the screen cannot be raised high enough for my needs so you may find that a stand is required. I had one major issue with Linux. When the machine is woken from sleep, the monitor does not wake. I tested this on Ubuntu and one of the other major distributions (I forget which). Dell Support were not helpful in resolving this matter which I suppose is to not surprising. I’ve not checked the very latest version of Ubuntu so it is possible that this issue has been resolved. In summary, 5 stars on Windows but I’m docking 1 star for the lack of Linux support.
Huge screen – easy to set up and directions were really helpful. The picture quality isn’t great and you can see individual pixels across small text on discord etc, but I’d definitely recommend this monitor to anyone worrying about which one to buy.
Amazon misdelivered the first one, it took numerous IR Chats for them to admit it was delivered to the wrong address and arrange a free replacement; I ACTUALLY GOT MINE on 12th July 2022.
Lighter but smaller than my 43 inch TV, this was harder to manoeuvre.
Box opens flat only.
Box is 37 x 21 x 7 inches.
VERY well packed, mostly cardboard but with polystyrene frame for screen.
No need for send in amazon packaging unless it is a present.
Setup was easy – you can stand it at edge of table to attach riser, it just clicks in, then lay ON the riser, screen up to attach VERY heavy base – neat little bolt with fold down turner, no screwdriver required.
Unless you want a monitor arm or to put in on a trolley, just use the stand supplied.
Good luck holding it to do that!
You will need to download software from the Dell site; see note at end regarding which.
I am running via a Display Port cable to an HX90 Mini PC, keyboard & trackball connected, uplink USB to PC, not tried HDMI yet – keep meaning to.
Buttons as a wee bit fiddly – just under the right hand side of the screen, typically not central so stuff lefties.
My first curved screen – I see why they make them and people love them.
I chose this monitor over a 27″ HD one because of higher review ratings, especially TechRadar.
I wanted a computer over tablet for email, snail mail etc so did not look for gaming options.
It displays documents perfectly and actual size so fabulous.
I am photo sensitive and between computer and monitor it is set up to MY comfort; easily done too.
Particularly the anti blue light settings.
It really is non glare – no staring at yourself or lights across room.
So far no headaches or worse migraines from it – so spectacularly good.
I am a meany with 5 stars, minus half because it was such a PITA to move, open and get onto table.
You need a strong table by the way.
I have answered a query about wobble – it is a little bit wobbly, but stable.
Updates (via the USB link cable) have worked fine, BUT do not update to screen monitor V2 -it does NOT work with THIS monitor!
ONLY major niggle is the power socket. Not often, but if it gets knocked it disconnects.
Zuallererst mchte ich das hier oft angesprochene Problem des hochfrequenten Summens oder Brummens ansprechen. Dieses Gerusch kommt nicht, wie anfangs auch von mir angenommen, vom eingebauten Netzteil, sondern von den eingebauten Lautersprechern. Es gibt auf der Dell Supportpage aber ein Firmwareupdate fr dieses Gert, welches das Problem bei mir tatschlich behoben hat. Das Update war alles in allem 10 Minuten Arbeit.
Zur Lieferung : Gert kam pnktlich und intakt an. Leider war die bereits sehr groe Kiste des Bildschirms in einer noch viel greren Kiste in der sie beim Transport unweigerlich hin und her geworfen werden musste. Amazon hat hier mMn ein hohes Risiko in Kauf genommen.
Die Bildqualitt ist sehr, sehr gut. Die original Einstellungen ergeben ein sehr blasses Bild mit wenig Kontrast, was mich Anfangs etwas schockierteq, aber mit der persnlichen Adjustierung ist fast alles mglich. Der Bildschirm bietet zudem viele Farbprofile und HDR und lsst sich auch farblich mit entsprechendem Gert kalibrieren. Er ist matt, was mir persnlich in die Karten spielt. Er ist curved, was fr Bildbearbeitung eigentlich nicht optimal ist, aber man gewhnt sich sehr schnell daran und ich stelle fest, es geht genausogut wie vorhin.
Die Ergonomie ist grenzwertig und mMn ein groer Schwachpunkt des Bildschirms. Der Stempel ist hochwertig verarbeitet, lsst einen den Bildschirm allerdings nicht sonderlich nach vorne oder hinten kippen. 90 Drehung ist nicht mglich, aber ob das bei curved berhaupt Sinn macht ist fraglich. Um seine Achse drehen lsst sich der Bildschirm auf dem Originalfuss auch nicht, was rgerlich ist bei dem Gewicht des Teils mit Fuss und einem doch sehr begrenzten Blickwinkel. Ich habe den Bildschirm auf einen Amazonbasics Monitor Arm montiert, was von der Gre und vom Gewicht sehr gut passt und preislich verkraftbar ist. Der Bildschirm und die allermeisten Monitorarme sind durch den VESA Standard voll miteinander kompatibel. Die grssten Schwchen dieses Monitors sind damit Geschichte.
This monitor was immediately recognised by my Mac Studio. I suggest you try several colour profiles in your computer to see which one you like the best. My computer is running this at a 100Hz refresh rate, which is a very pleasant surprise as I expected something like 60Hz.
The stand design is very thoughtful and smooth. This is a very large and heavy monitor, but the tilt and height adjust of the stand is excellent. There is a little hole in the stand that helps you organise wires.
Writing code on this is really a deligh
I say “good colours” – not perfect, but hey, you’re not paying for a 5,000 Apple 32″ Pro display, so you won’t get one. I am actually using it for professional photo editing, and it’s plenty good enough provided you tinker with it a bit.
In my experience, setting the colours on the “Custom Color” menu gets more accurate results than using any of the presets, including sRGB. Using colour grading tools available online, I have achieved a near-perfect greyscale. The contrast setting affects a colour cast in the highlights that varies from blue to yellow, but a neutral position can be found.
The viewing angle is not huge before colours are affected to an extent, but the curve helps here. All in all a lot of monitor for the money.
Some have complained of a whining sound from the speakers. I have had that, but it goes away with a “Reset Audio” on the monitor’s menu.
UPDATE: the annoying whining from the speakers kept coming back and I got tired of having to reset the audio several times a day, so I have ordered a USB speaker bar. Still love the screen, though.
Nach gute 1.5 Jahren im Homeoffice wurde mir aufgrund der ewigen Teams Sessions der 27” QHD Monitor zu klein.
Die Lsung:
Nun gibt es grenmig nach oben nicht so viel Auswahl. Neben einigen (oft sehr teuren Ausnahmen) bekommt man 32” im 4k 16:9 Format, und 34” meist im 21:9 Format mit nur 1600p, oder gar 1440p. D.h. man gewinnt kaum an Hhe, sondern nur in der Breite.
Meine Entscheidung ging daher zu 32” 4k, was aufgrund der hohen Pixeldichte eine Anpassung der Desktopgre nach sich zieht, aber inzwischen mit allen aktuellen Betriebssystemen kein Problem mehr ist.
Das Panel:
Da reicht die Auswahl von TN ber VA bis IPS. Mchte man ultimative Qualitt ber mehr oder weniger alle Kriterien, dann kommt man an einem IPS Panel nicht vorbei – aber auch an den Kosten.
Das Ergebnis:
Mit Warehouse Deals fr gut 350 fiel meine Wahl auf den Dell S3221QS. Dell, weil ich schon zwei weitere Dell IPS Panel im Haushalt betreibe, und mit deren Qualitt und vor allem Ergonomie (Verstellbarkeit und Pivotisierung) sehr zufrieden war.
Nun hat der S3221QS “nur” ein VA Panel verbaut, was ihn nicht mal halb so teuer macht, wie die vergleichbare IPS Version des Monitors. Ich wurde aber nicht enttuscht:
– Kontrast: Hier schlgt das VA Panel sogar seine IPS Konkurrenz – hervorragend!
– Schrfe: Alles ok bis in die Rnder, aber alles andere wrde mich bei Dell auch enttuschen
– Batrachtungswinkel: Hier ist das VA Panel kaum besser als die TN Konkurrenz und fllt deutlich hinter IPS ab – ABER: erstens ist der Monitor curved, was das Problem im Ansatz schon reduziert, und zweitens betreibe ich den Monitor nur fr einen davor sitzenden Betrachter – es ist also kein Problem.
– Black Smearing: Das ist der Effekt, dass schwarze Bereiche in einen VA Panel bei Bewegung “nachziehen”. Das war bei VA frher fast ein k.o.-Kriterium. Ich wrde lgen, wenn sich sagen wrde, dass der S3221QS das nicht macht, aber es ist nur in sehr wenigen Situationen zu erkennen. Am deutlichsten sieht man es beim Scrollen auf kontrastreichen Webseiten, bei Filmen jedoch konnte ich es bisher nicht erkennen. Alles in allem also ertrglich, und aus meiner Sicht mehr als zu verkraften.
– Sound: Ja, eigentlich keine Eigenschaft eines Bildschirms, aber der S3221QS hat einen (fr einen Monitor) sehr guten Stereo Sound. So gut, dass ich persnlich keinen weiteren Sound ergnzen wrde.
Fazit:
Preis/Leistung dieses Dell S3221QS stimmen absolut. Ja, man bekommt “nur” ein VA Panel, aber damit kann man gut leben, und fr das gesparte Geld sehr oft gut essen gehen. Wer absehbarer Weise so schnell nicht das Homeoffice verlassen wird, dar kann getrost das Geld fr dieses Monitor ausgeben, er/sie wird es nicht nicht bereuen – ich habe es zumindest nicht!
Great Monitor from Dell but lacking the height range so one may have to invest in a monitor stand to get to the best viewing height.
Not as clear as the U range but ideal for Computer work and why I reduced the stars for gaming.
All you need if you just want a “good curved 4k 32inch monitor”.
Has speakers that are not terrible.
Had to replace through Dell because of a dead pixel. Went fine.
You can find many reviews around about its pros and cons so I’ll just keep it brief [narrator: “he didn’t”]
1) Out of the box, with the “Standard” settings, the colours are terrible. Fiddling with the settings a bit improved the situation (namely, increase contrast, and brightness, and change the colour settings to “colour space”.
2) High pitch speaker noise is not too loud, but it’s there, however! It disappears if you either set the volume to 0 (on the monitors’ settings), or if you are playing any sound (that is, you could have a 24/7 audio file playing with no sound to keep the audio peripheral busy, and the high pitch noise should disappear). If you are used to listening to music while working this won’t be an issue at all.
I like how the speakers sound (not exceptional, but still richer than laptop speakers) so it would be a shame to disable sound completely.
UPDATE [JUNE-2022] The latest firmware update M2C103 seem to have fixed this really annoying issue!! I only tried for an hour but it seems that this issue is now solved (as per change notes). Updating review score from 4* to 5* (in light of the backlight flickering issue that seems to be resolved, too).
3) Backlight flickering. This is an odd one, it’s hard to reproduce (I’ve tried different cables and slightly different refresh frequencies (around the 60Hz) but there is, sometimes, a backlight flickering noticeable on a white background. It doesn’t appear too often (maybe once a day) and turning the monitor off and on fixes it for the time being, but is rather weird.
UPDATE [JUNE-2022] I’m being cautious but it seems that this issue (that occurred on firmware M2C101) seems not to be present anymore (or greatly reduced)
4) PIP/PBP is quite good I think. The PBP effectively splits the display into 2 halves and you have full control of what input goes left and right, and the computers (Windows 10) immediately detect a 1920×2160 resolution (that is exactly the vertical half of 3840×2160) monitor, so there is no stretching or other visual artefacts.
I’ve tried the PIP from two sources (DP and HDMI) and with the inputs set in the same way there was absolutely no difference in color and luminosity between the two (which makes it nice if you want a borderless multimonitor setup).
The PIP is also quite nice, you can choose to put the secondary input on the 4 corners, and change the size to be either fairly small or to occupy exactly one of the 4 monitor quadrants, in which case you could effectively have a 1080p monitor embedded in one of the corners (so there is no weird pixel scaling).
5) For the love of anything you hold dear, do NOT set the pixel response time to anything other than Normal. Fast and Fastest would cause black/grey smearing of the likes you will want to throw this monitor out of the window. Just forget this setting exist, the “normal” blur is not awful as you may expect.
I compared an LG27GN850 (IPS) side by side with this one and after fiddling with many settings I had to say that while colourful videos don’t look as good as with IPS, any dark video (i.e. LG OLED 4K demo video) would look great.
Games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne look much much better on this monitor (compared to the above-mentioned IPS).
But if you play Overwatch, then this monitor won’t be your first choice.
All things considered, it’s hard to find something with similar characteristics at the same price, especially considered the 3-year premium panel exchange warranty (1 bright pixel within 3 years = monitor replacement), and this worldwide shortage of everything electronics.
I use this monitor on a 60cm deep desk and my face is about 50-60cm far from it, which is ideal and I don’t use any Windows DPI scaling. It’s nice that it doesn’t take too much desk space.
>90% software development, <10% gaming.
I would think long and hard if you wanted mainly a gaming monitor and go for something with a 120Hz+ refresh rate.
[UPDATE AFTER 1+ YEAR OF USE] I love it and since the latest firmware update the two most annoying issues seem to have been resolved, so if you are in the market for a mid-range 32"-4k productivity monitor this may be the "chosen one" (remember to play with picture settings a bit as out of the box colours aren't great)
