Monitor is larger than anticipated and a nice surprise. Screen clarity is excellent! Using with a 16” laptop and can tell already will really miss when traveling. Easy setup and navigation from monitor to laptop. Game changer! Being able to see multiple windows on the monitor in a larger size or more if large spreadsheets is going to greatly improve work efficiency. I know this ability has been around for years, guess you can teach an old dog (74) new tricks!Setup instructions are clear right from the start beginning with correct way to open the box.

The monitor itself is great. I would've given it a 5-star rating had I not broken the first one I purchased and had to buy a second one.The monitor screen is, compared to monitors I've used in the past, very fragile. When setting up the first one I purchased, I leaned it forward with my hand on the side, and the screen cracked with very little pressure. That was very disappointing.Since my employer paid for the first monitor, the one I broke, I felt obligated to replace it at my own expense. (I could've lied and told Dell that the monitor arrived broken, but I like to sleep at night.) So, the second monitor arrived quickly, and I used extreme caution when setting it up and moving it.

If monitor blinks, or flickers- start trouble shooting with a new cable. Bought monitor to go with new workstation and take advantage of the NVidia RTXA4500 video card replacing one of my 4 older S2409Ws as the main monitor. Seemingly randomly and frequently enough to be entirely annoying the new monitor blinked black for a second or so at a time. Updated drivers, modified settings, rearranged monitor ports, updated aps, everything I could think of for a couple weeks before at last resort changed out one of the "new" Display port to HDMI cables. Once the new cable was installed blink gone and high res settings and deep colors became available. I spent next few days simply marveling at how beautiful pictures in my galleries actually were- had no idea! Awesome monitor.

Having owned several monitors over the years, I can say that this monitor is the best one. The screen is bright and text is razor sharp. The whites are bright white and the blacks dark black. My vision is not that good and so the 32 inch screen provides plenty of real estate. The text is larger without having to crop the image. I had a 34 inch monitor before which doesn't sound like a big difference. However, I had to turn my head to see the whole screen. Sometimes, I had to use a magnifying glass to read the text even on the bigger screen. I don't know if it's the 4K resolution, but I don't even have to lean my head forward anymore to see small details in the documents, webpages, etc. I am not a gamer so I can't address how well this monitor meets their needs. ... MoreHaving owned several monitors over the years, I can say that this monitor is the best one.

There are many screen adjustments that allow the user to get the best image but my picture was beautiful, rich and detailed with correct color rendition from the factory. The real test of how a monitor is rendering colors are the flesh tones. I have heard and read that they are the hardest to adjust to make the skin appear normal. The flesh tones with factory settings are right on target with no abnormal hues or overblown saturation. I recommend this monitor highly. There's not much not to like.
We have a 4K, 32'' screen in which the quality price ratio is very good for Home Office and casual multimedia (Games / Videos).The sound quality, not being perfect is of acceptable quality for daily work needs.Pip and PBP I have not explored them yet, I will not talk about that.After using the “Smart HDR” in “Desktop” mode I have obtained a lousy image quality and the only possibility that remains is using the "Reset Display" option. Maybe some problem in firmware.The great advantage is to be a curved screen. My experience for screens with or above 30 '', curved screens allow better comfort and use quality.Some aspects to consider (in my point of view) that can be improved by Dell:- A screen of these dimensions (32'') must have the LCD plate better protected, ... MoreWe have a 4K, 32'' screen in which the quality price ratio is very good for Home Office and casual multimedia (Games / Videos).The sound quality, not being perfect is of acceptable quality for daily work needs.Pip and PBP I have not explored them yet, I will not talk about that.After using the “Smart HDR” in “Desktop” mode I have obtained a lousy image quality and the only possibility that remains is using the "Reset Display" option.

My experience for screens with or above 30 '', curved screens allow better comfort and use quality.Some aspects to consider (in my point of view) that can be improved by Dell:- A screen of these dimensions (32'') must have the LCD plate better protected, the one I have received, it only had one global protection (entire screen).Other screens that I bought with less dimension, the LCD plate came protected with an extra folio.- Location of the commands / buttons according to my point is not ideal, since they are all in the lower right corner.The system adopted in Alienware 34 Curved - AW3423DW, is excellent and ideal for big screens since they are located to the center of it with one amazing OSD-Joystick, which facilitates access to configurations / screen menu.I can recommend the screen but always taking into consideration that we are talking about a normal screen with an excellent quality price ratio.For other needs/experiences and other costs as well, I recommend Alienware series - AW3821DW or AW3423DW.
The curvature (1800R) is more severe than I initially expected. But if set up at the correct height and viewing angle this does not matter. Even using it for CAD work I do not experience any 'bend lines' or similar artifacts due to the curvature. On a side node, using it with two or more people to present/discuss with a coworker the curvature does have some negative impact and a flapt 32" would be preferrable.The color accuracy is ok, not ideal for photo editing e.g., but that was to be expected. I did not (yet) try to calibarte it.For multimedia use it's a nice immersive feeling (single person), but an extra set of proper speakers is highly recommended. For gaming the color setting may be insufficient.For office work it's a convenient size to have two ... MoreThe curvature (1800R) is more severe than I initially expected.

For gaming the color setting may be insufficient.For office work it's a convenient size to have two documents open side by side. I had a 27" screen before and opted for a secondary screen for that. Now, the 32" is big enough for two documents to work on simultaneously. The screen also works well when split into one window at half size and two additional onces at quarter size.While not a USB-C hub, the USB-A hub works great to charge a smartphone. Using it as a hub the USB link from the phone to the PC is less reliable than a direct link. Due to the limited access the USB ports are not great for frequent swapping of devices, e.g. plugging in UBS sticks. Plugging in any UBS peripherals should work but I did not test that as I am using a wireless setup. On the plus side the Hub allows me to keep my desk clean of cabples besides the permanently hooked up UBC cable to charge the phone.
I'll start with all of the good stuff. As a $K 32 inch curved screen, this is absolutely wonderful for transforming the 'working from home' experience.Especially if you've been working on a 15 inch lap top screen, struggling with multiple documents, the tiny type size and screen clutter.On the Dell I can open 4 documents simultaneously, and work comfortably from one to the other.It sits at a perfect height, and has sufficient angle adjustment to allow you to discover the perfect comfortable position at your desk.All good so far.But there is a but.The time from order to delivery was just peculiarly long.

Ordered in late November, it arrived over a month later. No explanations, just a very long period spent waiting.The installation instructions are minimal, and do not help you with any of the setting up, apart from a recommendation to collect the right screen driver software from the Dell website. This also encourages you to download a monitor managing program.Great, plug in, switch on and... it will not automatically detect an incoming 4HD signal, so looks really ropey. For a while, I genuinely thought I'd been sold a Chinese imposter/fake maching with a 720p screen.After a lot (I mean hours) of perseverance I found a [place where I could set the screen to run in 4HD from my 4HD lap top (Dell XPS fully loaded touch screen). But in doing so I discovered that the lap top screen cannot run simultaneously. I have tried everything, but as soon as the lap top is running in it's native 4HD, there is no way that you can get the new monitor to also run at full resolution.If there's anyone in Dell Customer Service reading this, and you know something that I don't and haven't yet discovered, please get in touch.Despite the time spent getting to a successfully running, stunningly sharp and colour-true 32 inch monitor, it really is very good.
I was looking for 2 off 32" curved 4k monitors for work. I'm an engineer and look at a lot of 3d models, spreadsheets, drawings and documentation so the additional screenspace is very useful.Having had the screens for about a month now, I'm very happy with my purchase. The images are crisp & clear. Colour tone is good and the screens are responsive. There's no distortion from looking from the screens at an angle and don't have eye-strain from looking at the screens all day.Physically, the base is very solid (basically solid metal) which has a strong screw to the monitor & base. The screen has both height adjustment & angle adjustment and it holds in place well. Remember if you go through a dock you need a thunderbolt connection (not any USB-C connection) to get ... MoreI was looking for 2 off 32" curved 4k monitors for work.

Remember if you go through a dock you need a thunderbolt connection (not any USB-C connection) to get dual 4k monitors. If you have a standard USB-C connection, then you'll need to downgrade the resolution on one of the monitors.I must clarify that I have not & do not plan on using these monitors for games. The monitor has a 60Hz refresh rate so I've got other monitors for my home computer for gaming.All in all, an absolutely fantastic screen. I wouldn't hesitate getting more if needed for work. Dell, you have a fantastic product here.
I primarily use my monitor for office work includes working with data coding, sometimes using sheets, writing documents etc. This monitor just worked out of the box for my needs.Let me unpack that statement into: (1) the size and curvature, and (2) monitor specs (colors, etc.)(1) Some context: I was previously using an Asus 27" QHD monitor for a while. The pixel per inch (PPI) with this resolution and size is perfect such that it doesn't need any scaling. I was happy until my work required me to look at multiple resources and windows. I felt like I was spending more time scrolling and switching between windows. I ideally needed more vertical room but 16:10 monitors are expensive.So I decided to go for a 32" 4K monitor.

I felt like I was spending more time scrolling and switching between windows. I ideally needed more vertical room but 16:10 monitors are expensive.So I decided to go for a 32" 4K monitor. I went with this because it was reasonably priced (I bought it used at microcenter), I trust Dell monitors, and the curvature was not aggressive.What a good decision it was! I was afraid of taking time to get used to the curve (since it was my first curved monitor) but that didn't take any time. With 4K at 32" I had to a bit of scaling, but that wasn't an issue. The monitor is a little heavy so I couldn't use my previous monitor arm, but the it's own stand provides enough adjustments that I could place it at an ergonomically correct height after placing it on a book.(2) I won't say much about internal specs except for the colors etc because I don't game on it and don't need the high refresh rates etc. But I want to mention colors because I've had experiences where monitors try to be fancy with HDR that eventually makes it hard to use them if your task involves reading text. That is Not the case there. Dell makes monitors for professionals and reading text on their monitors is super easy. Their eye care colors and adjustments are also really well implemented and make extended use much easier.Overall, super happy and highly recommended
4k Curved Monitor from Dell is a good purchase. My kid wanted a curved monitor (not a great gamer though) and first tried the 32" FHD curved monitor from Dell(bought from another seller), however it was highly pixellated . Though it was ok for watching streaming content and games, however seating close(as expected) on these giant monitors causes one to notice those individual pixels(even if you try to ignore them). So returned it .Watched quite a few videos and was initially skeptical for a 4k monitor wherein people were complaining about scaling issues , dead pixels etc. However many people were enjoying the 4k as well.

Compared with other curved monitors but based on the reviews, Dell has the most solid performance and is also fits in my budget. As it was for my kid , the usage will be a mix of online learning , streaming and very light gaming. So finally went ahead and bought this 4k curved monitor.As it is a VA panel so I was not really expecting it to perform well when viewed from an angle. However it performed superb where it's expected to . Very clear text, good refresh rate with no lags(previous was higher refresh rate but still lagged). Awesome sharpness and brightness, good contrast and blacks.It also has a speaker and it is decent (don't expect surround, dolby and all those) . Height adjustment and rotation options gives more flexibility.A quality monitor from Dell, will definitely recommend to others.
