This Dell 32 Plus 4K QD OLED monitor quietly replaced my old monitor

I’ve tried everything on this monitor, from writing and day-to-day work to gaming and video editing. So let’s break down whether Dell’s extra effort is really worth it.

The speaker is on the front, covered in fabric, and the camera and sensors are in the center. It gives the monitor a unique identity compared to typical desktop monitors.

The stand is simple but very powerful. You get full adjustability including height, tilt, swivel, and swivel. There’s a VESA mounting bracket on the back as well as neatly placed ports. Dell also added cable management clips and pass-through holes to the stand to keep your desk clean and tidy.

These buttons are located in the lower right corner of the back (when viewed from the front). There is also a hidden Type-C port under the display that supports up to 18W charging and data synchronization.

The display is very glossy, so glare may be an issue if your workspace has a lot of ambient light.

The setup process is quick and easy. You just assemble the stand and secure it to your monitor. There’s also enough in the box to get you started right away, so you don’t have to hunt around for extra cables or accessories.

The monitor also supports 120Hz refresh rate, which is suitable for gaming. I’ve played a lot of single-player games like Silent Hill, Doom Eternal, and Forza Horizon, and the experience has been very enjoyable and smooth.

There are tons of customization options, including multiple color profiles, allowing professionals to calibrate the monitor to their specific workflow.

On paper, the peak brightness of 250 cd/m² may seem low, but in actual use, especially when you’re sitting a few feet away from a 32-inch screen, it feels completely adequate for SDR content. With HDR, brightness can reach up to 1000 cd/m², which makes a noticeable difference in games and movies.

The sound quality is full and provides an overall balanced sound, but don’t expect strong bass. If you do have this monitor, you don’t need desktop speakers. The surround sound is the main attraction and I thought it worked really well, with face detection accurate and almost instantaneous. Whether it’s music, movies or games, the surround sound experience is amazing.

If you plan to connect multiple devices, such as PCs, laptops, and game consoles like PlayStation, you may need to manually switch cables or rely on an external HDMI switch. I tested the monitor on both Windows and MacBook, and compatibility remained consistent on both platforms.

One feature that really stands out here is the picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes. It also supports KVM functionality, allowing you to use a single keyboard and mouse with multiple connected devices.

This is definitely one of my favorite features. I often have my MacBook and another laptop connected at the same time, and even in split mode, both screens are large enough to work comfortably.
