Looking for a very good affordable 4K IPS office and video editing monitor. Is this it?
$556.53 seems like a decent price for the G3223Q IPS Dell 32 4K UHD Gaming Monitor using the Techradar 7% code.
…what
Ask in the forum's mate, people there who can tell you all about stuff like that.
cooked
With enough ETH, you can do anything
I have two of these bad boys, strongly recommended. 4k@144Hz is excellent, HDR is acceptably eye-murdering, very nice for both work and play. My only knock would be poor off-angle viewing, but if it's for desktop use it's not a problem worth worrying about.
I've had one for a couple of years now and didn't realize it had poor off-angle viewing.
mostly happends when watching dark scenes in movies and shows. When the content is brighter its not an issue.
Ahh gotcha - I don't watch movies or TV on mine. Only gaming, work and Youtube.
@theguyrules: Yeah being an IPS panel the colour reproduction stays relatively true but the black level comes up off axis. As simontadaa said, its otherwise known as IPS glow
Thats ips glow. You can even see it from looking straight at the monitor, the edges and corners have it.
exactly, the off-angle/ or even straight on viewing on darker content is pretty poor to be honest, but otherwise a very good monitor especially at this price. I find it helpful to tilt the chin of the monitor upwards to make the contast better at the buttom of the screen, otherwise even at normal viewing angle the buttom sides of the screen are washed out.
I definitely don't get that - how close are you sitting?? Mine are maybe 80cm away.
Tempted to buy this as a second one but I don't need it
HDR on a LCD is like a spoiler on a potato.

im guessing HDR looks good only on OLED screens?
Displays with dimming zones. OLED and MiniLED.
This display has 8 dimming zones.
The G3223Q also has a DisplayHDR 600 certification and eight-zone local dimming

No, just need a lot of dimming zones and high brightness
I have a very high end Sony TV with absurd HDR (just to point out I know what proper HDR looks like) and this monitor is honestly fine for HDR in PC gaming. Games like Horizon Zero Dawn look amazing. Definitely wouldn't waste money on an OLED just for better HDR.
Lol no - you haven't had a GOOD LCD TV have you?
Probably asked already in the past (which I can't find) is this good with an M1 Macbook Air 2020? I don't intent to use it for gaming, just creative cloud stuff, CAD? Thanks
You'd be better serviced by a more 'business' oriented monitor with a Type C connection IMO, rather than the gaming oriented 144hz models. Not saying that 120+hz doesnt look nice/feel nice for work too, but it's not really required. This monitor will require a dongle/dock to connect to your laptop given the m1 air only has 2 Type C ports.
Could consider the 4k 27" model often on sale for sub 400, if 32 isnt 100% required, have used personally and highly recommend though 32" is a little more 'balanced' for 4k IMO.
https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-27-4k-uhd-usb-c-monitor…
Sub 400 currently. Have had this monitor for coming up to 3 years now. Been solid! It's only 65w but an M1 air is fine with 65w
I have the S2722QC too but the screen has a purple and blueish hue compared to my MBP.
I agree with @ReaperX22, the main selling point for the Dell is the 144Hz which the M1 doesn't really support anyway, you need a very specific USB-C to HDMI dongle to make it work.
For a similar price, I'd highly recommend the LG:

I got one of these, it has USB-C so a single cable gives both power and video out to the monitor (+ some additional USB-A). Good colours, nice ergonomic stand and 32" is a comfortable size for productivity tasks.
Thanks for the deal @Grok, is there any UW IPS Monitor with 120Hz+ as those QD-OLED are not good for Office work and solely for gaming and I am looking for something 80% office work and 20% gaming.
There's only a few IPS ultrawide monitors. And they are all inferior at gaming compared to OLED or VA panel
Better to go with 2x28 or 2x32, or even a 42inch monitor
I don't know where you got that IPS is inferior to VA for gaming.. VA generally suffers smearing issues. And fast/high quality IPS panels beat out VA IMO. VA have a better contrast ratio but outside that I don't see them as being superior in any way to IPS
I'm talking about ultrawide monitors, basically IPS curved monitor is not at all popular. There's a few good IPS exceptions, mostly from LG and Gigabyte, but they at that price range they are all inferior to high-end VA panel from 2022 Samsung, or 2022-2024 OLED panel
Yes high quality IPS is generally better than cheap VA panel, not high-end VA. High-end VA from Samsung is by far superior than IPS, although they are pushing OLED panel in 2024
Also, the majority of Ozbargain seems to bash VA panel and prefer IPS. Nothing is wrong here because in the sub $800 range, IPS is better. Most people experience VA ghosting/smearing issues in the more affordable monitors and then blame VA panel.
Also have 2 of these bad boys, fantastic bang for your buck. No OLED only drawback, that kind of goes without saying and is reflected in the price
90% of my use is for work, perfect monitors for an extremely overkill work setup
Haha, are you me? Excellent for having 4 documents open at once… sob.
Also have two of these, super happy so far. Light gaming, 90% office work so I wouldn’t want oled.
I have one of these and it's great. I would agree with the off angle viewing being a bit dodgy but as a main screen for gaming the price cannot be beaten.
I should note i have a 4080 Super which is one of the only cards that will run anything in 4k 144hz (The other being the 4090)
I bought this monitor during ATL. I'd say this monitor is very good for office work.
If you consider buying this to game or do video editing then I don't recommend. There's some better options out there
Ultimately returned it but this is a solid one at $500-600
Had this for now i think 2 years and love it
For colour accurate photo editing, media consumption and gaming
Here's an in-depth review of the monitor done by RTINGS:
Had one for a few months now, only for office use and its great. Runs off an M1 Air so it sits at 60hz, its simply the best value 4K 32 inch IPS monitor on the market.
Have one it’s great!
$499 on outlet
Isn't it refurbished?
It is. Does carry the same warranty though. For an extra $50, I'd take this one too.
Is this overkill for normal office work? My 28" 4K is starting to get too small for my old eyes, I'm wanting to upgrade to 2 x 32" 4K, but all I do is spreadsheets. Am I going to notice much difference with 2 of these: https://www.centrecom.com.au/samsung-s7-32-uhd-3840-x-2160-h… vs the Dell for almost $300 more (for two)?
Can get 8% off coupon through unidays for $550.54
Damn bought this the other day for slightly more. Do dell offer price protection?
Is it worth upgrading from S3422DWG? Mainly using it for work.
