The Dell 32 Curved Gaming Monitor is a no-frills screen tailored for both work and play. This isn’t a high-end monitor that will wow you with retina-searing brightness levels or ultra-high resolutions. Instead, it is a jack of all trades that focuses on nailing the fundamentals, making it a reliable workhorse for both games and documents.
The 31.5-inch VA panel has a modest 1,920 x 1,080-pixel resolution, which is just about pushing it for a monitor of this size. Coming from a 1440p screen of the same size, the drop in sharpness and image crispness was noticeable.
The 1800R curvature helps mimic a wraparound effect, but it obviously isn’t as dramatic as some larger screens with more pronounced curvatures. The design is sleek and modern, with ultra-thin bezels on three sides.
And if you’re splitting your screen into two windows, websites will show up in mobile view instead of desktop as they would on a 1440p display. If you’re working with a lot of documents, a higher resolution display might serve you better.
