How is this operating for current users? Just snagged one from Dell with a 15% discount and free shipping, ended up paying peanuts really. Delivery date is super long though

What was the quote/how much did you pay?

Paid £382, they just jacked up the price significantly which is kind of immoral.

Just be aware of Freesync brightness flicker on this panel, I just return the exact same monitor myself due to that. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent VA panel. Some dark smearing but seems to be one of the better VA's I've tried. Looks gorgeous too with its 8bit + FRC.

Hmm, don't believe reviews ever mentioned those. I guess I'll find out soon.

Ahh, I had a £360 quote from them, but decided against buying it. Delivery time was too long.

Yeah, i'm starting to think that to be honest. End of this month is so long, didn't realize they ship straight from Asia, would have thought they would have an EU warehouse at the very least.

Hi @random_matt did you get the Dell S3220DGF in the end? If so, what are your impressions? Am currently looking at the Iiyama Ultrawides (Flat vs. Curve) as they are around my budget of £400. However, this monitor is the backup plan. The Iiyama are not available to purchase, so I could be tempted to ditch the UW. Let us know.

A+ My opinion is a Iiyama won't be better than Dell. The latter are one of the best monitor brands, price is pretty good if you search around UK retailers. The dell web price got jacked up heavily.

May of won the panel lottery with mine, almost zero issues with it. Colour is great, accurate and HDR is reasonable, but mainly bought it for size and frame rate. Obviously my card will be upgraded come black friday maybe.

I guess you may prefer IPS, and that is fair enough, your choice in that regard may be the better purchase. I have not dived into the reviews of it to be honest.
