          +4

          I'm not even sure why.

          Because it’s stupid for a 16:9 screen that is smaller than 34” to be curved. Curved screens make more sense for ultrawides.

          Dell makes this S3221QS curved probably wants to alleviate the poorer viewing angle limitations of the VA panel.

          thought the whole point of curved monitors was for opposite effect when sitting at appropriate distance. in a large flat monitor your eyes do not see the edges at a 90 degree angle

          think about a huge flat monitor if you look at the top left corner, you wont be looking at it straight on. on a curved monitor the sides will be straight on just as if you were looking at the middle. hope that makes sense. our field of view is also round - simply our peripheral vision curves at a similar degree a curved monitor does. field of view google images explains it enough. mostly talking out my ass here but curved monitors are generally superior to flat ones at large monitor sizes

  • SS625 on 12/03/2021 - 12:00

    this or the xiaomi? i had the 27" 4k but it was too small

    • caprimulgus on 12/03/2021 - 12:55

      I have Kogan 34" ultrawide (same panel as the Xiaomi) as my main monitor, with this Dell S3221QS as my secondary monitor to the side.

      Which is better for you depends entirely on your usage, and which aspect ratio / resolution you will make better use of. ie. What type of content you want to display, and how you plan to carve up the space.

      FWIW, if 27" 4K is too small for you, 32" 4K will be much better. I am using mine without scaling.

      For reference:
      24" FHD - 92ppi (too low for me)
      34" ultrawide / 27" 1440p - 110ppi (comfortable, a bit on the low side for me personally, but totally usable)
      32" 4K - 138ppi (comfortable, a bit on the high side for me personally, but totally usable)
      27" 4K - 163ppi (too high for me!)

      • SS625 on 12/03/2021 - 13:24

        yea im not too atm…..

        4k = 3840 × 2160

        34" xiaomi = 3440 x 1440

        so actually you can put some black bars on top and bottom to create the xiaomi ultra wide losing 2"

        but the xiaomi is 144hz, i have never used monitor over 60hz but i heard great things about it.

          so actually you can put some black bars on top and bottom to create the xiaomi ultra wide losing 2"

          Yeah, I've seen people do this with monitors like the 48" LG OLED.

          but the xiaomi is 144hz, i have never used monitor over 60hz but i heard great things about it.

          If you are a hardcore gamer playing FPS games, then for sure you would want the 144Hz. (Although you may be better off with something like the Dell 27" DGF gaming monitor). Or if you are accustomed to high refresh rate screens, then it's probably hard to go back to 60hz.

          Personally, I don't really notice the difference in real word usage. I have my ultrawide at 120Hz and the Dell at 60Hz, and I don't really notice the difference (100% productivity usage). My phone has a 120Hz screen, which IS much smoother to use than 60Hz when you compare back to back…but I have mine set at 60Hz for battery life, and I can't say I really notice it ever in actual use. YMMV

        • illidan on 13/03/2021 - 13:04

          Why not the U3219q ? Just curious.

          • FrugalNotStingy on 13/03/2021 - 13:57

            @illidan: Because it’s getting a bit old and that it has some flicker issues as some reviews mentioned. Otherwise it’s a solid IPS 32”.

            • illidan on 13/03/2021 - 13:59

              @FrugalNotStingy: Thanks. I just broke my 32UD99 and in the market for one. None of the LGs in a reasonable price range has over 60W PD so was looking at that one.

              • FrugalNotStingy on 13/03/2021 - 14:14

                @illidan: You’ll need to be sensitive to flickers to notice the issue though. Don’t think Dell will release a successor to the U3219Q soon as it’s not mentioned in its 2021 monitor lineup. They have already released the expensive mini-LED UP3221Q not long ago.

                Personally I will still get the U3219Q if the price dips to around $1000. Worse case I’ll just return it if I notice the flicker issue. It‘s currently out of stock at Dell though.

                • illidan on 13/03/2021 - 14:16

                  @FrugalNotStingy: Appreciate your replies mate. Yeah, I’ll keep an eye to see the movement as well. Might go to UWs as well. Don’t know for certain yet.

                  • FrugalNotStingy on 13/03/2021 - 14:53

                    @illidan: For UW, I quite like the new U4021Q but the low brightness kills it for me. If you‘re not using it for image editing maybe the AW3821DW which recently has discounted to as low as $1568 (deal has now ended) is a good choice if you don‘t mind the vertical 1600 res.

        Another thing to add is that if this goes down in price again within 75 days (CR's rule on validating cashback), I would suggest not bothering to claim the price match guarantee as that may invalidate your cashback.

        In saying that, Dell via CR approved my cashback within 3 weeks and the amount is now in my CR account ready for withdrawal so I applied just now via email to Dell to claim the price match guarantee.

    FYI all, re: curve.

    This monitor has a curve radius of 1800, while most of the 34" ultrawides have a curve radius of 1500.

    Read: more curve on the ultrawides, less of a curve on this monitor.

    I did some reading, and for people doing drawing work with a lot of straight lines, the larger radius (less curve) is better.

    Hope this helps.

    • burningrage on 12/03/2021 - 13:54

  • JuryWheel on 12/03/2021 - 13:00

    Anyone gone from dual monitor to single Ultra wide instead? I do some work on autocad amongst other things and have been tempted to get an ultrawide for home use (currently have a 24 inch basic Samsung)

    • qwijibo on 12/03/2021 - 15:33

      If your budget can stretch (a lot), go for one of the 38" 3840x1600 monitors - best of both worlds - not too tall (some people get neck strain looking up/down), good ppi (see @caprimulgus post above), and tons of real estate side-by-side.

      If not, then get either this or something like the Xiaomi 34", depending on your needs.

      I did, same as you.

      24”x2 to 1 34” ultrawide curved.

      But, in your case have a read on whirlpool as I remember someone said autocad and curve doesn’t go well (can’t remember the thread)

    • drsmithy on 12/03/2021 - 22:59

      I went from 2x 27" to 1x 34" Ultrawide, and ended up putting one of my old 27"s off to the side.

      Even with the window-snapping controls in Windows 10, a single big screen just doesn't seem to work as well (at least for me) than two independent screens.

      I am contemplating the possibility of how well a super-ultra-wide (5160x1440) would work in Picture-by-Picture mode with two inputs from the same computer, though (ie: being able to change from a single widescreen to what is effectively two indepdent screens with an invisible bezel)…

    I've got the xiaomi 34" monitor from the other deal. Not that big of a fan.
    I much prefer a 4k screen (maybe cos I work with google suite more), text on screen just seem a lot more sharp on a 4k screen?

    What do you guys think of this dell 4k curve?

    • g1 on 12/03/2021 - 13:54

      Text on 4K screens looks sharper to me. Text on lower resolution scaled up, on a 4k screen, looks sharper to me than on a lower resolution screen.

      If you don't need more than 60Hz refresh rate then this monitor is great. The curve is not really noticeable after a while. Your usage may vary :)

    • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2021 - 16:54

      The Xiaomi is just a really wide 27 inch monitor. You lose the majority of the extra real estate to your peripheral vision. A 16:9 32" will 'feel' bigger in use due to the commensurate increase in vertical res. It's the more immersive experience for the majority of content. The Xiaomi comes into it's own if you regularly use applications that would otherwise require a reference monitor.

  • lachlantula on 12/03/2021 - 13:43

    grabbed this screen last month, quite a big fan. using it as a second monitor to the s2721dgf and whilst i went in with serious doubt about the curved panel i've grown to not mind it as you don't really notice it in practice. if anyone has any questions about the screen id be happy to hear them

    • Grok on 12/03/2021 - 16:57

      Feedback on viewing angles and colours for watching movies would be appreciated.

      Basically, are both issues not a concern or does one of those bother you a little?

      • lachlantula on 12/03/2021 - 17:18
        +2

        i don't personally have an issue with the horizontal viewing angles as i'm almost always looking at the monitor straight on, but the vertical viewing angles are definitely poorer than my ips (and even then it's better than the tn i was coming from). having said this, i believe rtings said the horizontal viewing angles are still stronger than many other va panels (especially for the price).

        watching movies is an absolute treat on this screen. colour reprodution is good (i have not calibrated the screen), but it's worth noting that itll come down to personal preference as to whether a high-contrast panel like this is more suited for your viewing habits or instead an ips with more saturated colours. black uniformity is acceptable.

      The blacks are great. In fact Rtings singled out the blacks as being a notable highlight of the panel: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s3221qs

      "The Dell S3221QS has a great contrast ratio, producing deep blacks for a good dark room viewing experience."

    • lachlantula on 12/03/2021 - 18:43

      you think so? if anything the blacks on this panel compared to my ips are significantly deeper because of much higher contrast ratio.

            @hnxhyz: All due respect but losing 5 inches is not the solution you think it is. I have a 27 IPS for photo/video editing (grade Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K) and the difference is not insignificant.

            • caprimulgus on 12/03/2021 - 17:55

              @[Deactivated]: Yeah, for me 27" 4K vs 32" 4K is the difference between needing scaling vs no scaling. This is a huge difference from a productivity perspective (ie. usable desktop real-estate).

              For me, that alone trumps any VA vs IPS debate.

                @hnxhyz: HDR implementation in monitors has lagged years behind televisions. The latter is almost always the better option for pairing with an HDR capable console. Most people will be using this with a PC though and the SDR performance is a completely different kettle of fish.

        ive already thrown the boxes away plus i can't really be bothered returning them. I'll just wait until a reasonably priced 4k 32" ips monitor comes out then hand these down.

    Does anyone have any experience with gaming @ 1080p on a 4K screen like this ? Does it scale up nicely ?

    Annyone notice a high pitched tone coming out of the speakers while computer is silent?

    I got one of these a few months ago, had the sound issue and 1 dead pixel. Got it replaced and new one is doing the same thing, and has 2 dead pixels (but in better spot off to side). Other monitors didn't make this sound!

      Why?

        Two reasons:
        - quality of Taiwanese built monitors is way better. 2 of my cheap AOC monitors both had dead pixels out of the box. I now only buy monitors made out of China. Happy to pay extra.
        - ethical reasons. I don't buy Chinese tech where possible. My gf is from Hong Kong and they have lied to and treated the Hong Kong citizens so poorly. Violating their basic freedoms.

          Fair enough! You‘re like my brother who doesn‘t touch made in China stuff. He even refuses to buy Apple products because they are made in China even Apple is an US company.

          I know a bunch of people, their friends and families who recently fled to the UK from HK because they were unhappy about the new policies.

          I think the S3221QS is made in China though.

            @FrugalNotStingy: This is not a political forum. Take your anti China stance else where.
