Dell S3220DGF Zwart

Awesome build quality and ergonomics. Design is very simple and looks rather good as compared to more snazzy gamer-centric models. The USB hub is useful and two USB ports are easily accessible at the bottom. The controls are good, but the joystick-based controls on newer screens are easier to use. Still, some buttons can be programmed which is really handy.

Could have better colour reproduction; calibrating it is a bit tricky. I gave up trying to calibrate it manually and used the standard profile that is selected by default. The colours seem slightly off when using solid colour wallpapers, but in regular use it doesn't really affect much.

I can stream HDR from my Mac and PS4 Pro, but my Windows laptop unfortunately does not recognise it as an HDR-capable screen. When HDR is enabled the colours seem washed out and only HDR content looks good (actually, spectacular!). So HDR needs to be turned off for regular use. I noticed a faint reddish patch in a specific portion of the screen when HDR is turned on, but that is visible only on white backgrounds (like web pages). But that is perhaps only in my unit.

I was concerned if 93 dpi density would be good enough. It still lacks the sharpness of laptop screens but it is good enough for my use. The power consumption in this model is quite high if it is used at peak brightness and with HDR enabled. This has the lowest power efficiency rating possible (G). However, it is more suitable to use at lower brightness unless it is intended to be used in a brightly-lit room.

It is costlier as compared to models from other brands but it also provides the most number of features.
