Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from rtings have found:
The Dell S3221QS has a large screen and high resolution, making it a good choice for work, gaming, or watching videos online. It has low input lag, decent response time, and supports variable refresh rate for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. It isn't the best option for sharing your work, though, as it has mediocre viewing angles and poor ergonomics.
Pros
  • Large screen and high resolution
  • Low input lag
  • Wide color gamut
  • High contrast ratio and full sRGB coverage
  • Large screen & high contrast ratio
Cons
  • Mediocre viewing angles
  • Poor ergonomics
  • No local dimming

Reviewers from techradar have found:
The Dell 4K S3221QS has a 31.5” VA panel with 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 color, 3000:1 contrast ratio, and of course, 4K resolution with a 60Hz refresh rate. It's bright enough at 300 nits, though we're disappointed that it didn't also inherit the new XPS's 500-nit brightness. Sadly, while Dell says this monitor supports HDR content, it only really makes the picture a bit more blue without really increasing the dynamic range.
Pros
  • Excellent 4K resolution
  • Easy-to-use app
  • Excellent multitasking features
Cons
  • No USB-C port
  • No HDR support

Reviewers from tomshardware have found:
Dell's S3221QS is an all-purpose monitor that delivers primarily on value. It provides 31.5 inches of screen real estate, so you can pull up multiple documents at the same time and work more efficiently. It also has 4K resolution, and AMD FreeSync also lets you game comfortably at an acceptable 60 frames per second.
Pros
  • Sleek design
  • 4K resolution
  • Slim bezels
Cons
  • Below-average color accuracy
  • No dedicated sRGB mode
