About this deal

If you want to play high-level competitive games, you’ll be better off with a 240Hz display with a 1ms response time, even at a lower resolution – it will be smoother, faster, and more crisp. Thanks for your reply. Freesync is enabled on the monitor. Is there anything else I may be missing? I did the exchange and found that the monitor I received was the EXACT SAME with the same outdated EDID, manufactured May 2020 A03.

The Dell S3220DGF is an impressive gaming monitor in many areas: it offers superb core image quality alongside subtle and sturdy design, and its size, resolution and curve deliver absorbing gaming. We are always transparent about where our information comes from so that you don’t have to waste time and money buying the wrong thing. https://www.dell.com/community/Monitors/S3220DGF-revision-A03-still-no-1440p120Hz-over-HDMI/m-p/7640772 The refresh rate and response time are acceptable for single-player gaming and mainstream eSports, but they’re not good enough for competition-level play. The Dell is best-suited to single-player gameplay.I went through the normal rundown: fresh install of Win10 LTSC, used the supplied DP cable, using the latest nvidia drivers, installed the monitor's INF driver, etc. For those of you are curious, I'm running a GeForce GTX Titan X.Make sure to enable freesync on the monitor. Then it should show up in the Nvidia control panel The OSD is well designed and worth spending a bit of time getting to know. Along with the obvious controls found on all monitors you will be able to tweak your response rate, HDR settings and even set up four shortcut keys if you so desire. For those without a colourimeter there are eight preset colour modes to choose from, with three game profiles you can program and store as well as a general custom colour profile. The 32in diagonal and gentle curve make the Dell an absorbing option – great if you want to really get lost in your games. I am coming from a 27" QHD monitor and I think the text may be a little less sharp but it is more than acceptable.

https://www.dell.com/community/Customer-Care/I-need-help-with-a-product-exchange-Dell-Support-hangs-up-on-me/m-p/7716255 There are 12 picture modes. Eight are fixed and designed for different game types. The default is Standard, and it's very accurate with no calibration required. The remaining four can be calibrated with gain, offset, hue and saturation sliders. Four additional modes appear when HDR signals are detected. Dell’s S3220DGF is a great path for an upgrade to an SDR, fixed resolution display for those with a budget in mind; assuming it is on sale. At the full price there are choices out there with better panel tech and if you don’t have a budget you should be looking at ultra wide displays meeting the DisplayHDR1000 specification. You should also consider your intended usage before choosing between an IPS panel or a VA panel such as this Dell S3220DGF. An IPS will offer you better viewing angles which is important on screens without a curve, however it cannot match the superior contrast ratio of the VA panel nor will it be as enjoyable in a dark room. Dell’s display has AMD FreeSync 2 with a peak refresh rate of 165Hz, and it also works with Nvidia graphics cards. That refresh rate is high enough to handle mainstream eSports games, and it will make single-player titles look butter-smooth. It isn’t fast enough for top-tier eSports gaming, however. Beneath this, you’ll find a VA panel with 10-bit colour and a 4ms response time. Again, those figures are more suited to single-player gaming and mainstream eSports gameplay – that response time needs to be lower for high-level competition.The inability to rotate your display without purchasing a mount is common to Dell displays, while the stand is very sturdy and easy to install the mount simply isn’t designed with portrait usage in mind. The adjustable height and side rotation is more than sufficient for most setups and the mount does not have a tendancy to slowly slide down from the weight of the display. The 1800R curvature is enough to mitigate any loss of quality at the sides of the display by keeping the angle within specifications for VA panels. I have tried to express this to Dell to no avail. They have attempted to connect me to Customer Care multiple times and each time I get disconnected. When I try and call the number they gave me I get general technical support. Question, I’ve got a AOC Agon ag322qcx and had bought it last year in January 2019. It is 144hz, VA, 1800R curved 1440p 16:9 aspect screen. Would this be a comparable upgrade because I plan on upgrading my 1070ti to RDNA2 gpu by the end of this year or beginning of next year. Or should I wait to upgrade the monitor later? Reply They concluded that the monitor is suited for mainstream gaming, with a specific focus on single-player titles.

The Dell’s refresh rate and response time aren’t good enough for top-level eSports competition. If you need that extra speed, look for a 240Hz and 1ms display instead.

The difference in setup was jarring, there is simply no comparison between plugging in a single DP cable, one USB cable for the hub and a power cord to the set up of three monitors. What would be a bit of time to get the displays connected, swap the cords that don’t want to reach, convincing the graphics driver where the monitors were physically and then fiddling with the mount until the displays were lined up took only seconds. You hit it on the nose for the competitive gamers, that Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM I linked to with 1080p but a 280Hz top refresh is a better choice than this one for this price point. Reply

I want to buy this monitor for few weeks now and after reading this, I really don't see why not buy it right now. So having slightly bigger one, curved and 165Hz with HDR seems like the best combination for home, right? To that end, Dell serves up a 32-inch, curved VA panel with a 1440p resolution and AMD FreeSync 2. On paper, at least, that’s an impressive slate of features for mainstream gaming. Price and availability Our mission is to empower you to find the product you’re looking for and get exactly the information you need to make the right buying decision.There's no need for calibration when the S3220DGF is in its default Standard mode. You’ll have to use the DCI-P3 color gamut for all content since there is no sRGB mode. Dell’s display looks subtle, so it’s ideal if you want a screen that will suit a more professional environment – or if you just don’t like the gregarious design of modern gaming hardware. Nevertheless, at this price, there’s a lot to like. The Dell S3220DGF is a top-notch option for immersive mainstream gaming. You should buy it if…
