Our Favorite Dell Gaming Monitor Hits All-Time Low for Black Friday

Dell’s 32-inch, 2K S3222DGM has long topped our list of the best gaming monitors, because of its vivid colors, high contrast and strong build quality.  The 165 Hz monitor normally goes for around $400 and has gone on sale previously for as little as $289 during special occasions. Right now, Dell has it for just $279 (opens in new tab), an all-time low and an incredible monitor deal.

We reviewed the Dell S3222DGM back in February and were really impressed with the blur-free gaming experience and the excellent image quality we got from its curved, VA panel.  In our tests, the monitor showed a contrast ratio of 3,718:1, which even beats other VA monitors we tested and it absolutely destroys IPS monitors, which usually can’t even hit 1000:1.

The screen was also highly accurate, with a Grayscale error DeltaE of just 0.54, better than any of its competitors.

According to our colorimeter, the Dell S3222DGM can reproduce a strong 122.6 percent of the sRGB gamut and 85.9 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut. The color quality also stands out because of the high contrast ratio. Those bright colors will look extra bright when the dark pixels next to them look really dark.
