Dim or discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part. AMD FreeSync Technology, which minimizes graphic distortions like screen tearing and stuttering for smoother, fluid gameplay.

By the way, as mentioned above, 4k is definitively not the resolution for competitive gaming, but when it comes to casual games, we can see this resolution showcasing its strengths. Indeed, the colors on VA monitors are naturally much cooler than those on IPS, but the difference wasn’t quite as striking with the other VAs we tried. The good news is that they can be made considerably better with a little tuning, but they still fall short of an IPS’s potential. Either way, whether it costs more than the average or not, what matters in the end, is if its features can keep up with the prices. And that, we’ll find out in today’s Dell SE3223Q Review. Is it really worth its price right now? We’ll find out. Design Additionally, the viewing angles aren’t excellent, but you would anticipate this from a VA monitor.

Resolution / Refresh Rate

Even though its stand gives off an older vibe to it, this monitor is relatively new, and that could be another reason why its prices are a little bit higher than normal. Even though the low refresh rate will make things stuttery while you’re playing games, tearing won’t show itself if you enable the FreeSync option as long as the FPS is in between 30 and 60. A few permanently bright or dark pixels are considered normal by industry standards. The exact number of pixels that are allowed varies depending on the monitor. See the Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for more details. Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro.

Having a large, heavy stand like this puts the monitor in an awkward position in today’s environment when displays are getting much more small and sleek. In addition, this monitor’s viewing angles are surprisingly decent for a VA panel at this price point. It is still not as nice as pretty much any modern IPS display, but at least it is better than average. Of course, as time passes, the price of such displays may also drop, but this is getting off-topic. The whole idea is that you will have to adapt to 60 Hz, at least if you are not willing to spend a significant amount of money on a high-end 4K display.Where you put your monitor is almost as important as what model you buy.

Even with the brightness turned all the way up, there is some glow on this particular monitor, but this is to be anticipated when discussing mid-range VAs. It would be one thing if the monitor had poor colors but exemplary peak brightness, but as I said, things are bound to plummet as we proceed.It always surprises me how immersive gameplays are when gaming at this resolution. Of course, you need a very decent graphics card to push over or keep 60fps all the time, so it is not that cheap to have that experience. Ensure that the video cable connecting the monitor to the computer is connected properly and is secure.
