While the S3222DGM lacks HDR support, its excellent contrast doesn't detract from that missing 'bullet point' and its overall performance is hard to beat at this price point. And while the S3222DGM is targeted primarily at gamers, we found that it is also great for general productivity and anything in between. This 32-inch monitor offers plenty of vertical screen real estate without the need for scrolling and 1440p resolution, the current sweet spot between image quality and gaming performance. But our sample managed to better that figure by a third, coming in at 4,000:1 in instrumented tests. VA panels are known for their excellent contrast, but the S3222DGM is rated at an impressive 3,000:1, easily blowing away IPS competitors. However, Dell really knocks it out of the park with the S3222DGM's contrast ratio. Other perks in its favor are 85 percent coverage of DCI-P3 and a display curve with an 1800mm radius.

This number explains the number of times your monitor updates with new information per second - stated in hertz (Hz) - and, therefore, how many frames per second (fps) the monitor can display. The best gaming monitors for contrast are VA, but VA also has slower response times. IPS displays have slightly slower response times but better color than VA monitors. Typically, TN monitors are the fastest but cheapest, due to weaker viewing angles.

For image quality, TN For a detailed comparison of the two technologies’ performance, see our Nvidia G-Sync vs. FreeSync monitors tend to be cheaper, but performance is comparable. You can technically run G-Sync on a FreeSync-only monitor, but performance isn't guaranteed. G-Sync or FreeSync? G-Sync only works with PCs with Nvidia graphics cards, while FreeSync only works with systems using AMD ones.
