Review: Crisp Monitor With Selectable Resolutions - This is a fine 32 inch 4K monitor for my 2024 Mac Mini Pro, and a very good value at under $500. I'm used to the Apple iMac 27 inch 5K screen. I did not want a monitor with speakers, having desktop studio audio speakers. The G3223Q's screen has a variety of selectable resolutions and color parameters - colors are accurate. It is marketed as a "gaming" monitor and I can't comment on that as I'm using it as a "desktop" monitor so far. I did like the advertised 144 hz refresh rate for gaming. Most 4K monitors only offer 60 hz refresh rates. Something I find interesting as a non-technical person is when I experiment with selecting various available resolutions under Apple's System Settings/Displays, I like 3008 x 1692 better than the default 3840 x 2160, which is actually 4K resolution. This 3008 x 1692 resolution looks sharp and with it applications when opened seem a good choice/compromise for size on the screen. I'm not sure if I'll stick with it because with 3008 x 1692 the 120 hz refresh rate is the highest available. At 3840 x 2160 I can "make larger" Safari web pages (Command + key shortcut) and that pretty much takes the webpage browser's size to where 3008 x 1692 opens Safari, leaving more monitor space for other applications. But I will mostly want those applications to be larger too - so reading smaller fonts isn't a strain. Anyway, the monitor is versatile. One negative, which I should keep in perspective but is a true Dell marketing decision head-scratcher, is the monitor ships with an HDMI 2.0 cable - actually with four different cables. This is nice - hence keeping my perspective as some monitors don't ship with any cables. But the G3223Q monitor has an advertised HDMI 2.1 as a major selling point. Supposedly the monitor must be connected with an "Ultra Fast" HDMI 2.1 cable to achieve its full capability spec of 4K and 144hz, not the 2.0 cable they provide customers. I bought an HDMI 2.1 cable (from Crutchfield - a short one was about $20 - and is of nice quality). I did this because the 2024 Mac Mini Pro supports HDMI 2.1. It may be the provided 2.0 cable does the trick and for reasons I'm unaware of and despite what I read about 2.1 bandwidth/speeds the supposed 2.0's lesser bandwidth/speed capability doesn't actually apply to this monitor. Or, maybe, the monitor isn't actually 2.4? Something seems askew because I didn't see any differences under the Apple System Settings/Displays offered resolutions or refresh rates between the two HDMI cables. Make of that what you will. I did call Dell to complain about the provided cable not matching the advertised speed of the monitor and they acknowledged the paired cable with the monitor isn't 2.1. They also said, "Sorry, this is what is supposed to ship with the monitor. We are in the process of going through our cable inventory." So, not going to send me the right cable even though the Dell.com website sells a 2.1 cable for about $15. Nevertheless I am very pleased overall and would definitely buy the Dell G3223Q monitor again. It is great for games and desktop uses.
Review: Why do the gamers have all the good stuff? This monitor is great for WORK too. - I recently tried using my 40-inch television as a monitor, and it was awful. The image was larger, true, and it offered some benefits, but the resolution, the pixel density, as well as number of colors, was not there. Plus, it was actually a little too large, like watching a movie in the front row. If you’re eyeballing your big TV and wondering how well it will work as a monitor, don’t try it. It will only be good for playing videos on the computer. I needed a real monitor, but I needed one larger than my original monitor. So once again, there I was shopping on desertcart. I settled on this one because of the size and the resolution. So many monitors these days have a max of 1080p. I remember way back in the early 2000s, my monitors going higher than that. At least, I think. Well, 2560 x 1440 is what the doctor ordered. This is not merely a gamer’s monitor. It is an animator’s monitor, at a higher resolution. Acres and acres of screen so that I don’t really need to have two monitors any longer. I love it. It’s just on the edge of being too large. The look and feel of the monitor is quality. This thing is serious. After a year of an ONN monitor that I didn’t really like because it didn’t have proper contrast, and a second Dell monitor that was slightly smaller, old, and dying, I was finally back to quality. It’s almost frightening because my animations look so much better now that I hope the final product looks as good to people who see my work. The reason I use two monitors at work and at home is because there’s not enough room on one screen for all my tools. Generally, increasing the monitor size doesn’t help, because only so much information can fit on a screen. But in this case, the screen is bigger AND the resolution is higher, so more information can indeed be placed on the screen. I no longer need two monitors! I have my two work monitors and this huge Dell monitor. Well, honestly, there’s not much more room left on my desk for a second personal monitor anyway. I’ve only included one screen shot to impress upon you the amount of information that can be squeezed onto the screen. On a 1080p monitor, and perhaps on a 1440p monitor, but smaller, the screenshot will look crowded, but it’s perfectly comfortable now. Normally, I always have the timeline at the bottom hidden, because it takes up too much room, and I need the viewport larger. Here, everything is comfortable, and my old eyes have no problem seeing all the information. I’m also finding that I don’t tend to go on full screen as much on YouTube, but I will probably end up switching to the dark mode, because all that white can be blinding. It’s a bright monitor, and it’s a dark monitor. The contrast is excellent. I would buy this monitor again in a heartbeat. I almost talked my daughter into buying the replacement that I was going to send back, but she just has no room for it until she moves. Speaking of replacement, I had a rocky start though. This speaks nothing to the quality control of the hardware itself. The original monitor was just left in my driveway by USPS, just minutes before a sketchy guy came to buy my car. If the neighbor’s dog hadn’t barked, I wouldn’t have stepped out to see the box… left just ten feet from an unused doorbell. But here comes the real rockiness and it sort of embarrasses me because I’m a tech guy. I’m NOT that customer who calls tech support because he forgot to plug in a device. I swear, I’m not that guy! The first monitor arrived with no instructions, and I couldn’t turn it on. I checked cables, and power strips. desertcart offered only general advice for idiots on connecting a monitor and (choking) making sure it’s on. And, this is also key, it was in the box upside down. Remember! This is my alibi. A simple instruction manual or quick start guide would have shown me the nearly invisible power button on the bottom right. And now that I think of it, that power button is in the same place, invisible, on my two newest TVs, though there is a RED LIGHT to alert you that there is the button. The red light goes away when the TVs are on. This monitor has no such illumination of the power button. It only lights up when it’s ON, not off. But all I had was a warranty slip, and the power button was all but hidden on the bottom. I tried every permutation of the prominent unlabeled buttons on the back, and nothing. I thought that the first monitor was dead and called in for a replacement. The replacement came, and by sheer chance, as I tilted the properly packaged one out of the box, there was the faint gray power button! It was literally the FIRST THING I SAW! The replacement came with a no-words uni-language hieroglyphics quick guide for setup that was missing in the first one, that also had a callout for the power button. My heart sank. I went back and checked the original. There was the power button! It had worked all along. There was nothing wrong with it. The final hieroglyphic showed a disc and a hardcover book and a webpage and a down arrow. I checked with Indiana Jones, and he told me that this cryptic message meant to download the user guide from dell.com/s2722dgm for further information. Dell spent a ton of money on more than adequate packaging for this monitor. A whole tree died to deliver it. It came with an extra HDMI cable, which was nice. I would have traded the shiny box, which I’m just going to toss out, for maybe one more 8.5x11 sheet of paper to get me up and running. There was also plenty of white space on the outside of the box for all the info I needed. Just a picture of the power button, because when you look at the back of the monitor, the joystick button makes you think it MUST be the power button. Poor packaging ended up costing Dell and desertcart. How I wish I had gone ahead and googled an online manual, but I was so depressed that it didn’t work that I just waited on the replacement. But the next debacle is all my fault. I thought that the replacement was defective. I couldn’t insert the HDMI into the HDMI 1. The problem was my orientation. I had my head upside down, looking, and then righted myself, my mind inverted left and right, and I was trying to insert into the display port and not the HDMI port. I used HDMI 2 and loved it. So, when I returned the perfectly fine replacement, I mentioned that the HDMI 1 was damaged, when it wasn’t. Some guy at the desertcart returns department is going to call me an idiot. One had to be returned, so it wasn’t a real issue. But overall, I love this monitor. I’m spoiled to it, and don’t want to go back to regular monitors. It shouldn’t be called a gaming monitor. It’s a workstation monitor. Love it to death.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Budget Gaming Monitor
*by A***R on February 2, 2024*

I picked up Dell's S3422DWG back in March, and have been putting it through its paces ever since. It's my primary media device for games, movies, and photo editing, and I'm here to share my impressions of the monitor after the better part of a year. I picked up the S3422DWG for $380 to replace my aging Acer X34, as my latest build used an AMD GPU instead of the previous Nvidia, requiring a FreeSync device. I was immediately struck by how good the blacks looked compared to my old IPS: deep without all the old panel's backlight bleed. This higher contrast really enhances all of the media I throw at this monitor. I'm incredibly sensitive to motion blur, and I really can see the difference in responsiveness between an older 100Hz panel and a newer 1434Hz one. While VAs supposedly have worse viewing angles, I don't ever hit a real-world use case where I've noticed this. The curve is a bit more severe than I'm used to, but after a week my brain adjusted to it. The OSD is much nicer than my Acer with a few flaws. You get a joystick that can be depressed to open the OSD, with four buttons that can be mapped to menu items. Sadly the response time menu is not an option, so turning on strobing requires a menu dive each time. But overall quite functional and intuitive. So what about the dreaded black smearing? Early VA panels were panned for gaming due to dark content having a much worse response time than IPS displays, creating black smears during game movement. I'm happy to report that this monitor does not strongly exhibit this behavior on "Super Fast" response time. I do see a bit of dark content smearing with strobing turned on in games, where the ultra-responsiveness exposes anything but the fastest response times. But this is generally minimal, unless you have something like black text on a white sign. Let's talk to strobing. Compared to previous strobing monitors I've tried, I'm happy to report that the S3422DWG maintains very strong brightness with strobing (which it calls MPRT) turned on. Cross-talk varies depending on where you look on the screen. The center has very good coherency, the bottom is good in this regard, and the top of the screen exhibits noticeable strobe cross-talk. This means that strobing is viable in games where you're not fixing your gaze on the top third of the screen (such as Witcher 3) and not very good in games where you're looking all over the screen at any time (e.g., Diablo 4). Overall it's a nice perk, but not a universally reliable one. The last caveat for this screen is that reviewers have panned it for flickering with GSync under 60Hz, which could be a deal-breaker for NVidia users. Overall, this monitor is incredibly strong for its price point ($350 at the time of this review) for users who want to watch media, edit, or play games with an ultra-wide aspect ratio for AMD users. I recommend it as a gorgeous bargain panel.
