240Hz QD OLED Gaming Beast from Alienware
The Alienware AW3225QF 32 inch QD OLED gaming monitor is a 240hz beast! The monitor comes well packed in a large box to protect the OLED screen. The screen itself has an adherent scratch protector with a bubble wrap cushion taped on top of that to protect the screen that rests in a curved form fitting support to ensure you get a pristine screen. Dell packs all the goodies to get you connected an High speed HDMI cable, a display port cable and a USB B to USB A ver 3.2 to connect to the built in USB hub. The power supply is built in the monitor so just a power cord. Cable management is great, there is a space for all cables with the ports at the top and a supplied cover hides all those making the back of the monitor look great. The cables exit and can be fed through the stand to exit the rear of the base completing the excellent cable management. As for ports they are 1 display port with 1.4 , 2 HDMI 2.1, (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 3 USB A gen 3.2 (2 on the rear and one front lower bezel) and 1 USB C gen 3.2 front lower bezel). HDMI1 is eARC and can be connected to a soundbar and pass through Dolby Atmos. The additional USB A port and the USB C Port are on the bottom of the lower bezel to the left of the Joystick. The led accents at the back of the monitor include The Alienware logo and 32 as well as the power button (The colors and even turning them off can be controlled with the Alienware Command center App) The included monitor stand is stable and very adjustable to get just the right position. The 100 x 100 Vesa mount is built in but recessed, you may have to use spacer depending on your monitor arm mounting plate size. The white back and stand against the black bezel give this monitor a very clean and cool look. The 1700R curved panel is a shallow curve that gives you great peripheral visibility with no distortion. The on off button is at the right and the display controls are in the center of the bottom bezel. The display control consists of a joystick, this takes a bit to get used to but easy after you figure it out and is actually a great way to control the myriad of functions with minimal buttons. So how does it look? In a word, absolutely amazing! The blacks are ink dark due to the OLED, i.e. it is able to turn off individual pixels so black is absolutely black. Colors are Vibrant and deep. At 240 hz your games look like a movie, no halos, no blur, no tearing, no ghosting. Like all OLED gaming monitors you can have some flicker with VRR in dark areas but with the latest firmware and the 240 hz capability this is minimized. You have to have a graphics card that can keep up the refresh rate in the resolution you desire if it adjusts a lot that's where you can get flicker. You have several modes to choose from in the Dell Display manager or the monitor control menu. The higher pixel density of 140 DPI makes text much clearer than older gen OLED panels in fact I would say it is now not an issue compared to my other LED or LCD monitors and is ok for everyday use. Pixel and panel refresh routines are available to help prevent burn in. This panel has an active cooling fan but I did not hear it at any time during operation. If you need truest color you can select creator mode to put the monitor in SRGB and choose 2.2gamma this also bypasses the logo detection that dims the panel in game play allowing about 240 nits of brightness vs about 210 nits in the other modes. Viewing angles are great with really no drop in any normal angle you may experience in normal use. Dolby vision: The monitor supports Dolby vision however if you are using windows to game you might want to switch it off because windows tries to push some HDR10 games to the monitor in Dolby vision resulting in incorrect color mapping and dark display. This is a windows issue. If you have a game that is true Dolby vision enabled you can switch the mode back on. The auto switching works perfectly fine with consoles, streaming devices and blu ray players. For HDR content I found the HDR 1000 mode to give the best results, colors are accurate and brightness is excellent during gameplay and streaming. There is also an HDR Movie mode in the Dell display manager that you can use. I turned the Smart HDR off in the Gaming section, I think this will keep the Dolby from coming on incorrectly until Microsoft fixes the way Windows handles HDR. This monitor has DSC (display stream compression) on all the time without any way to turn it off. There is a possible work around when you activate 'Legacy Device' in console mode in the OSD, the DSC is disabled, allowing you to use the DSR, create a custom resolution or anything else that the DSC won't let you do. Then, when you deactivate console mode (in Legacy device), the customs resolutions will still be present. This seems to only work when using HDMI. There is some talk on the Alienware form that the DSC disable is coming in a future firmware update just like they added the Dolby Vision disable in the latest firmware. Dell includes a 3 year warranty covering panel burn in which is a welcome addition since OLEDs are prone to this. I recommend you visit the Support page for the monitor on the Dell website and download the latest firmware, The Dell Display Manager, the Alienware command center and the monitor drivers for your operating system to give you the best experience and control the monitor completely. I really love this monitor. The subtle curve and the OLED colors and performance are outstanding. After the latest firmware update the VRR flicker is not really noticeable. This is my go to for gaming for 2024!

Mind Blowing QD-OLED Goodness
The Alienware - AW3225QF is definitely a spectacular display to look at and presents some real POP. I won’t spend a whole lot of time discussing setting it up because it was rather quick & straight forward. The main panel chassis is relatively light and easy to handle and Dell provides good graphical instructions as to how to assemble the display, right in & on the packaging. The stand is cool and easy to connect. Port locations are good and all the necessary cables are provided to get you hooked up. A color function keyed Power button off to the right and a centered joystick/control nib for all the heavy lifting. When I first connected the Alienware - AW3225QF and went into the onboard control menus, the panel status indicator was a yellow dot and doing a pixel refresh didn’t remedy the condition. So, I updated the available firmware via the USB cable (which took a few hours to complete) and did a panel refresh. That solved the issue and the status indicator went thumbs-up green. Will be keeping an eye on this! The onboard menu system is well laid out but I would have preferred the entire thing to be scaled much larger. Doesn’t make much sense to me why the Dell engineers standardized the size to something so small in layout for such a big screen and expensive item. Once connected to my Legion gaming laptop, everything played nice and Dolby Vision kicked in as I check my Nvidia drivers & controls along with the Windows 11 HDR settings. One thing I noticed about this display is its ability to provide some real POP even when Windows HDR mode was turned off. Many gaming monitors tend to do either/or well, not both. That sets the Alienware - AW3225QF apart. For comparison reference, I have 12+ months of experience gaming & creating on a ROG 32-inch VA-based 170 Hz gaming monitor that performs remarkably well and produces inky blacks in normal, ambient lighting conditions – but nothing like what an OLED display can do uniformly, corner to corner – in any lighting environment. This AW3225QF did demonstrate some slight motion blur during various games and that leads me to be a touch skeptical about the truly 240 Hz performance level this thing is spec’d out to do. I’ve not noticed much in the way of motion blur on various other high performing monitors of the last several years, so this came as a bit of a shock. I did fiddle around with some of the Game mode enhancement settings but without much improvement. To be clear, the motion blur isn’t horrible - - just noticeable because of the size of the format. Being a 4K monitor, I expected that pixel pitch + 240 Hz would pretty much squash any potential for motion blur – but I was mistaken. Apart from that, I have experienced some strange scaling aberrations when navigating around Windows and various apps. In one instance the entire Windows 11 task bar was flickering & rendering in a strange, overlapped triplicate manner. It may have been somehow related to utilizing the HDMI port and not a Display Port connection, which I am not set up to do at the present time. So, for any new owners of this Alienware - AW3225QF, pay close attention to how your system interacts with this display. Check it at 120 and 240 Hz and keep a watchful eye on scaling, rendering consistency and signs of subtle flickering. If you noticed anything odd, make sure you’ve updated to the latest firmware and check using an alternate GPU port (if you’re able to do so). Like most Dell peripherals, this one triggered an installation of the Alienware Command Center which is sort of annoying. But this application gives you some basic control functions from your Windows operating system. It is laggy and I did have a couple of instances where it crashed... but that’s typical Dell software. In summary, I am impressed with the Quantum Dot OLED performance, be it the striking color rendition or the sheer, mind blowing Pop of its ability to highlight brightness where needed. Compared to a VA based panel, the difference is pretty striking in terms of pop & dynamic range. The motion blur has me a little bit concerned but there is a vast array of things to try & tweak to get it sharpened up… so fingers crossed. Regarding the potential for burn-in, I guess only time will tell. Having owned several generations of OLED televisions, we’ve been lucky to have never experienced any kind of burn-in or panel degradation, even beyond the 10,000-hour level. But this is Quantum Dot OLED – so there’s that bit of unchartered territory. Apart from some subtle motion blur to varying degrees – game dependent – overall the image presented on the Alienware - AW3225QF is well balanced, bright when you want it to be and the color reproduction is spectacular. Does this level of display justify the massive price difference versus a high-performance VA-based gaming monitor in the same size format and lower refresh rate? I tend to think not. But if cost is no object, give this beast I try! Pros That Alienware styling Wide dynamic range Comprehensive onboard settings Plays nice with a rig capable of Dolby Vision supervision and HDR capable Mind blowing color rendition and Pop Cons Quirky and laggy AWCC (control center) software that automatically installs Varying levels of subtle but detectable motion blur I can recommend that those with Nvidia 30xx or 40xx generation, high-end GPUs should give this gaming monitor a try!

As close to perfect as OLED can currently Be!
Monitor is the closest thing to a Perfect OLED Monitor available. I bought this monintor from the alienware website, Motion clarity is 10/10, Dolby vision is 10/10, color fringing is almost gone due to how small pixels are. Fans are quiet on the monitor. Colors are beautiful and vibrant. Fast paced scenes and motion remain beautiful with no ghosting or trailing pixels. This monitor is perfect! the curve is very slight so its almost basically not there. I used the monitor for a month before i wrote this review. If you're interested in a more Profesionally outlined review, the monitor has been reviewed by the RTINGS website with high scores

Big, Bold and Beautiful!
The Alienware - AW3225QF 31.6" Quantum Dot OLED Curved Gaming Monitor - 240Hz - NVIDIA G-Sync - VESA - HDMI, USB-C - Lunar Light is Big, Bold and Beautiful! This is the first monitor of this size that I've tried out and the first OLED monitor. Upgrading from a Dell Gaming S2716DGR 27.0" QHD Wide 1440p Screen LED-Lit Monitor with G-SYNC monitor, so this is quite a bit more screen real estate. I have an Alienware Aurora desktop and this matches it perfectly! The monitor arrived very well packaged and in perfect condition. Setup was easy and only took about 10 minutes to get it swapped out with my old monitor. I run a 3 monitor setup so this is the new centerpiece. The curve is subtle and works well in my setup. You will need some decent desk space for this monitor! The stand is solid and allows for good up and down, swivel and angle adjustment. The stand has a cable management slot which is nice and a cover that pops off to hide the ports and cables if you're concerned with how the back of the monitor looks on your desk. It comes with power cable, USB in cable and HDMI cable and Display Port cable. Easy to read instructions for monitor setup are provided. The monitor has plenty of ports for multiple inputs. 1 Display Port and 2 HDMI 2.1 ports so very convenient to have your PC and gaming console connected at the same time and swap between inputs. It also has several USB ports for connecting devices and one USB-C port. The display itself is beautiful! Ultra crisp 3840 x 2160 resolution with vibrant colors and blazing fast refresh rates 240Hz and .03ms response times. With the GSync enabled gaming on this is a treat to behold. Gaming in 4K does take a substantial amount of gfx power if you want to have all the bells and whistles enabled (3XXX series and beyond would be ideal). My 2080 series handles it fairly well but I do have to turn down the Ultra settings in some games to a more reasonable level for FPS preservation. Action filled sequences are ultra smooth with 0 screen tearing issues. The 32 inch size is really a sweet spot for the 4K video... big enough but not so big you're straining your neck to move around the view. Watching movies or video on the monitor is just as lovely! Just a side-note the monitor doesn't have internal speakers which most likely isn't an issue for most. It is a glossy finish with anti-glare coating so there will be some reflection in bright rooms but the monitor brightness and vibrancy overcomes this in most situations where it's not noticeable. I've been waiting for a good reason to upgrade my 2080 gfx card and this monitor is that reason so I can enjoy it without restraint :) Hands down the most beautiful display I've ever owned! The many Dell monitors I've owned over the years have been issue free and have lasted me many years, so I expect the same with this monitor. It does come with a 3 yr warranty as well!

Love It
Beautiful Display, very easy to setup, first curved screen and I’m happy with my purchase!
-
I am so impressed!
TLDR - The best monitor I've ever owned, the picture is amazing, I LOVE it! Works really well with my consoles, but I love it more on PC! Highly recommended from a gamers perspective! ---- Unboxing this thing was a treat, super easy to set up and I LOVE the cable management routing through the stand. I thought that was a nice touch. Love the design, especially the curve. I know it’s hit-or-miss for some people, but for me, it really makes the games I play feel more immersive. I’m not sharing my screen with anyone, and for me it is a good perk. The screen is glossy but, in my environment, I don't get many reflections so it's a non-issue for me. The first thing I did was do a firmware update. The out of box firmware was M2B102 and I updated it to M2B104! In hindsight I should have perhaps tested things before and after to see if I noticed any difference, but as just a gamer that’s not doing much creative work so I wouldn't have been able to say much there anyway. To be honest I wouldn’t have noticed much of a difference anyway, but still. The only bummer with the firmeware update process was the firmware updater stated it’d take 10 mins to update, but for me not sure why, it took longer. My monitor update took almost 15 minutes. I almost thought it froze! I started to panic a little bit! My main use for this monitor is for my gaming PC. I have a PS5 and Xbox Series X and tested them both and they work incredibly well too. So, if you’re looking to buy this for your console, you WILL NOT be disappointed with the image quality and compatibility on them. Both support 120 Hz, VRR, and ALLM. For me though I fully intend to use this for my gaming PC. Font appears super clear to me without any noticeable fringing. I didn’t have to run the ClearType utility! It looked perfectly fine to me out of the box. HDR performance was great for shows and games. The blacks are legit darks were legit perfectly dark and the brights were very bright! What I found interesting though is I like the HDR image without Dolby Vison. There are three Dolby Vison profiles; Bright, Dark, and Game. Bright and Game seem identical to me and really crank up the brightness of the overall image. I had a tough time seeing a difference. Dark on the other hand I liked more than the other two. It wasn't as bright but it also seemed more vibrant. However turning off Dolby Vision all together seemed to provide an even better image with more vibrant colors to my eye. So, I’ll likely leave it off. Response times during gaming, I felt at home! It was quick, and responsive! No complaints there! I'm really glad to see a 3 year warranty for burn in is included! This is great because sometimes Steam's store page or your game controller can sometimes prevent the screen from sleeping! Luckily there's a very convenient power button on the right hand side that can quickly turn off the screen when you're done with it. I don't anticipate me having burn in issues. I played a long session of Starfield and when I quit it asked me to do a pixel refresh, I didn't even turn this on. Seems like it already has some OLED maintenance built in. Overall, this is THE BEST monitor I’ve ever used! It looks better than my TV, and honestly, I’m so happy with this and would recommend it to anyone; PC gamer, Console gamer, or someone just wanting good picture for media consumption! I love it! Do yourself a favor and get it!

Excellent 4K Gaming and a Desktop Right Size
The Alienware AW3225QF QD-OLED 4K gaming monitor is impressive. 16:9 aspect ratio, almost instantaneous pixel response, perfect blacks, and 240hz over HDMI 2.1 makes for an amazing and versatile gaming experience. Gaming visuals are excellent in both SDR and HRD. Console gaming with my Xbox Series X is full 4K at 120hz with Dolby Vision and VRR active. Text quality is clean and crisp without any color fringing. There are two HDMI Inputs, a single Display Port, a high-speed USB B input, 2 USB A ports on the back, one USB B and USB C port on the bottom bezel. The AW3225QF mounts easily to my monitor arm which frees up space and optimizes my ergonomics. The onscreen controls are easy to access and navigate using the built-in joystick. Overall, this monitor is big, bright, beautiful, and provides a premium gaming experience. Screen protection packing: First, I want to address screen protection packing. I have read that the bubble wrap used to protect the screen during shipping leaves scratches on the screen. I think Dell updated the packing material. My monitor arrived with zero screen damage. The screen protection system on my monitor is a multi-layer assembly consisting of a sheet of bubble wrap on the outer layer, two-sided tape in the middle, and smooth plastic on the inside layer. The smooth plastic layer is affixed to the screen with a low tack adhesive to prevent it from shifting or rubbing against the screen. Added stability is provided by tape securing the screen protector to the monitor bezel. I uploaded a photo for your review. Maybe early shipments had issues. My monitor came with the most substantial screen protection I have ever seen with a monitor. Kudos to the Dell and Alienware team. PC Gaming: Gaming is awesome on this monitor. I played MW Online, Diablo 4, and Forza Horizon 5. Diablo 4 and Forza are visual feasts that look amazing on the AW3225QF. Older games like MW Online was butter smooth at 240hz screen refresh. I tried all games with both SDR and HDR. Honestly, I did not notice much of a difference. This may be because switching from SDR to HDR is not a simple A/B switch which comparing the two impossible for me. I am happy either way. On thing I did not like was fighting with the monitor over HDR on and using the monitor presets built into the OSD. If HDR is on then the presets are unavailable. This means that I have multiple use cases for the monitor I am forced to either chose HDR for all content or use SDR presets for gaming, General Desktop usage, or Creative Mode for example. HDR does have multiple presets but they are not as easy to access from the OSD as the SDR modes. My preferred functionality would be each preset was HDR capable thus allowing me to essentially program all my use cases into a single list of presets. Xbox Gaming: I connected my Xbox Series X and configured the system, through Xbox Settings to use 4K, 120hz refresh, HDR Gaming, and Dolby Vision. I did not go through the trouble of switching between SDR and HDR on my Xbox simply because the process was clumsy and cumbersome. Again, without a simple A/B function it is impossible for me to tell which is superior. The Xbox Series X was built specifically for 4K gaming so all but one of my gaming experiences was flawless. Star Wars Battlefront II had some strange white out ghost phenomenon. For example, while looking down a hallway, what looks like a white fog would develop at the end of the hall, travel towards me, pass through me, and then travel behind me, vanish, and then start again in a perfectly timed cycle. The only difference I can think of between the AW3225QF and my LG 4K OLED was that the AW3225QF had VRR turned on. Otherwise, this issue does not exist for me. I cannot confirm this was the issue. But it was an issue, and a difference between my PC and Xbox configuration, so I am sharing it with you here. Otherwise, my gaming experience was flawless. Size and Quick compare: The pictures do not provide a reference to how big this monitor is. In the photos, I show my Alienware M18 gaming laptop driving the AW3225QF over HDMI. The M18 is a monster with its 18-inch screen. The AW3225QF dwarfs the M18. The screen is squarish with a 16:9 aspect ratio. There is a slight curve to the screen. It took minutes for my eyes to adjust. Now I don’t even notice. I purchased the 34” Alienware Ultrawide 1440p AW3423DWF back in March 2023. For those of you who may also own this monitor and are considering moving to the AW3225QF for 4K then I have posted some side by side and in-use photos. Both are excellent monitors. Upgrading from 1440p to 4K did have me worried. Like my AW3423DWF, AW3225QF will be used for both gaming and work. My under powered work laptop drives the AW3225QF at full resolution at 60hz. My Alienware M18 and Gaming Desktop’s 4070 had no issues keeping my games above 60FPS. In most cases, FPS remained above 90 FPS at a full 240hz refresh. Mounting: The AW3225QF includes mounting holes with screws. They are located where the included stand attaches to the monitor. This is a 100 x 100mm VESA Mount interface. I included photos of the mounting interface as well as the monitor on my desktop’s monitor arm. Super easy to mount. Everyday Usage: I also use this monitor for Work from Home and general computer usage. For either SDR or HDR usages I set brightness and contrast to 30%. I also reduce blue light where I can be either use Windows Night mode or the Warm monitor preset. Windows and MS Office apps are set to Dark Mode to reduce overall monitor brightness and light intensity. Finally, I set the taskbar to auto hide to help avoid monitor burn in. After an eight-hour day, when I turn off my computer and the monitor input turns off, the AW3225QF will go into a short pixel refresh cycle. My office gets direct sunlight in the mornings. The AW3225QF does a good job of combatting reflections. Typically, I close the curtains and that solves all my reflection issues. Late afternoon light or overhead lights can cause some reflections, but it is very muted. And if they are not then I just tilt the monitor slight along its Y-axis and the reflections vanish. The anti-reflective coating is excellent. The viewing angles of this monitor are also excellent. So, tilting the monitor left or right slightly is not a big deal by any measure. Additional Comments: First, connect the supplied high speed USB A to USB B cable that Dell supplies to your computer. This will allow windows to detect the monitor and load the most up to date drivers and monitor firmware. Second, if you experience any poor monitor performance, low refresh, or other monitor issue then make sure you are using the cables provided by Alienware before decaling this is an issue with the monitor. I had an issue out of the box where monitor refresh would not go above 60hz. It turned out to be an issue with a cable Adapter I was using to convert my Display Port cable to mini-Display Port for use with my M18 Laptop. Switching to the supplied HDMI cable resolved the issue and performed as well as the Display Port that I wanted to use. It is not a total 1 to 1 replacement but close enough when HDMI is 2.1 at 240hz. Final thoughts: Overall, I think this is both a wonderful gaming monitor and work monitor. Honestly, who swaps monitors between the two activities? These things have just gotten too big to play that game. I love the flexibility the AW3225QF affords me, the image quality, the near instantaneous pixel response, and the high refresh. Colors are vibrant, text is crisp, blacks are excellent, and, to my untrained eye, brightness is uniform across the screen. VESA mounting is a huge must for my setup and the AW3225QF looks beautiful mounted over my desk. See the included photos. I would like to see SDR and HDR features programmable to each monitor preset. Configuring SDR, HDR, and balancing the monitor presets is a real pain and forces me into SDR modes unless there is a real special reason to turn HDR on. Besides, I do not feel that my gaming experience, with the games I play the most, is impacted one way or the other. If you are in the market for a 32” class 4K QD-OLED then I think you will find a lot to like in the AW3225QF.

Perfect size,great PQ,great design,but no aux out
If you have a decent budget and really want the best gaming monitor for a fair price, then this one is what you should aim for. I know it’s not as cheap as say a VA panel or an ips but you don’t get the beautiful picture quality of an oled, a QD oled is unmatched In every way. This Alienware monitor will blow you away. Super vivid colors, solid brightness with HDR400(this monitor also has DOLBY VISION) and the fastest response time of 0.3ms response time(typical for oled) grey to grey. I’m not over exaggerating when I say the PQ is beautiful! I love this monitor so much that I went for only using this for my PC exclusively to now bringing my ps5 downstairs to my gaming set up. I went from using my 65 inch mini led to a 32 inch oled that should say a lot. The ppi is higher and this monitor looks shaper due to the pixels being denser in the smaller size. Not always bad to go small. If you play FPS like warzone or overwatch even valorant then you want a gaming monitor with the fastest response time. I have been getting more kills with this monitor since I can aim and move faster. It really is noticeable. Now this is a 4K monitor so you will need a beefy graphics card, I have a 3080 which is still powerful enough but I have to use DLSS to get higher frame rates. I won’t ever hit 240hz at 4k like this Monitor offers but it’s better to have the specs when you upgrade later as I will do eventually. Some people don’t like curved monitors, personally I do but if that’s something you are worried about, don’t, because the curve on this monitor is very subtle and you probably won’t notice tbh. I care about aesthetics so that when family or friends come over I can say “check this out” and they are like man that’s nice lol. So the design is super nice. White back with the Alienware symbol and number 32 lit up with RGB lighting that is customizable through the on monitor menu or via the Alienware app on your PC. The RGB lighting is actually bright which I prefer, some other monitors have lighting on the back but you can hardly see it. This monitor will light up your wall nicely. They also thought to include a removable back plate to hide the wires which is a nice touch. You have 1 DisplayPort(for PC), 2 hdmi (one for a game console and 1 for a compatible EARC/ARC device) 2 USB SS, 1 port to connect directly to your PC to run your devices through the monitor which is a great added feature, and a usb type C at the bottom of the monitor bezel. You have plenty adjustability on the monitor to suit your liking as well. Menu has a lot of options, all the standard stuff and newer things like console mode and alien vision. So again truly I love this monitor and I will use this exclusively for both pc and console. My wife and kids love it to. Friends have said how the picture is so sharp and vibrant. I wouldn’t change this monitor for anything. Perfect imo. But there are a few things that I need to mention that I don’t like or I don’t get why they did these things. 1st and maybe most importantly, Dell didn’t include a 3.5mm aux port to hook up standard computer speakers.they opted instead for an HDMI EARC which works out for me as I have a smaller form factor Bose soundbar with EARC but majority of people won’t be able to take advantage of this feature. The ps5 doesn’t allow for Bluetooth audio streaming so you are stuck using headphones. Who wants to use headphones 100% of the time I don’t. Disappointing to be honest. 2. If you plan on using this with you PS5(I’m not sure about XBOX) and you have auto switch (inputs) set to on, after you press the home button on the ps5 controller the monitor will go black and attempt to switch input. I figured out how to avoid this annoying issue, make sure you turn off HDMI CEC setting in the menu. This will fix it. It took me a while to figure it out. Only happens with my ps5 not the PC. Hope this helps you. 3. Very minor issue but Dell placed one of the USB and the USB type C on the bottom of the monitor close to the menu button. Most people won’t read the whole manual like I do so some folks might not even see them there. Again minor but it might be an issue. But those are not enough to take off a star because when you buy a gaming monitor it’s for the picture quality, the refresh rate and the response time. And this has everything you could ask for. I recommend this 1000% percent. This really is the absolute best monitor out!
