Product Information

Where you put your monitor is almost as important as what model you buy. The monitor should be directly in front of you, at an arm’s length away (between 20-40 inches from your eyes).The top edge of the screen at eye level when you are sitting comfortably. You may need to adjust your chair height or the height of the monitor to achieve this. Even though its stand gives off an older vibe to it, this monitor is relatively new, and that could be another reason why its prices are a little bit higher than normal.

Having said that, the VA panels are definitely not the ones you should choose if you require accurate color, and perhaps a high-end IPS screen like the: ASUS PA329CV is a better option. Of course, as time passes, the price of such displays may also drop, but this is getting off-topic. The whole idea is that you will have to adapt to 60 Hz, at least if you are not willing to spend a significant amount of money on a high-end 4K display. Out of the box, the colors are way more washed out than usual for VAs, and even with some calibration, things hardly take a turn for the better. Change the input color format to personal computer RGB or YPbPr in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD).To learn more about connecting your monitor to the personal computer, see the Dell knowledge-base article: How do I connect a monitor to a personal computer? Anyway, this monitor also doesn’t have any out speakers, and it has fewer ports than we expected. Connectors Even with the brightness turned all the way up, there is some glow on this particular monitor, but this is to be anticipated when discussing mid-range VAs. Currently, 4k displays make up the bulk of 60hz screens that are still regularly selling. Although there are some 144 Hz 4K displays available, they are so pricey that it is ultimately preferable to go with the 60 Hz.

Note: The Dell SE3223Q monitor is heavy; handle with extreme care. It is recommended to have two people to lift or move this monitor.

Ports

Even though the low refresh rate will make things stuttery while you’re playing games, tearing won’t show itself if you enable the FreeSync option as long as the FPS is in between 30 and 60.
