Went to check dell's annual EOFY and came across this by accident.

Was hoping for Muzeeb to bless us with some cheap alienware monitors for EOFY but found this instead. Checked yesterday evening and it was sitting at $814. Possibly the cheapest its ever been with Uniday code?

Have been looking at getting a Gigabyte m32u but comparison wise this beats it by a small margin in picture quality and you lose the USB C upstream.

        I was told I would get the G3223Q as replacement as well, and that rest assured would be a brand new unit and not refurb

        But then they returned with this offer this morning.

        @mszoidberg's rep at least told them outright that there was no more stock

        • saitaris on 08/06/2023 - 18:10

          Glad I asked for a refund then!

        • neurofunky on 09/06/2023 - 00:37

          Just got the same replacement offer….

          SE3223Q is very lower spec with VA panel and 60hz..
          During the online support chat they mentioned that I'll be replaced with the same model but dang.
          Very disappointed. If they are unable to go replace a model with same spec I'll go for a refund.

  • OkeyDokey87 on 08/06/2023 - 15:44

    Just refund, lost faith in Dell.

    • jassssone on 08/06/2023 - 16:40

      Do they offer free pick up for refund?

      • Daffan on 08/06/2023 - 18:39

        They should.

  • dealhunter52 on 08/06/2023 - 16:04

    Got mine today and it works. Out of the box picture is great but I upgraded firmware just in case.

  • RSmith on 08/06/2023 - 16:43

    Anyone using this monitor and connecting to a remote desktop? Everything looks so small.

    • da1nonly on 09/06/2023 - 15:46

      Just set your remote session to 1080p res.. You could easily snap 4 X 1080 RDP screens on each corner

      It's hard to say because pictures make it look worse than it actually is. Can you notice it in actual usage?

    • cyrax83 on 08/06/2023 - 18:49

      As an example, I just took a picture of my 27" Predator 1440p which is also IPS panel with all lights turned off and this is how it turned out. But I've never once noticed any issues with backlight bleed or had any issues with the monitor in actual usage

      Your monitor actually looks better than my Acer. I'd say it's normal and pretty good uniformity

      • enzo3162 on 08/06/2023 - 18:53

        Thanks Mate, appreciate it

    • enzo3162 on 08/06/2023 - 18:52

      Here is a better image i took just now, made sure to turn off Night Shot setting from my camera, so hopefully its abit more accurate

      • cyrax83 on 08/06/2023 - 18:55

        Looks fine

    • piotrekov on 09/06/2023 - 00:36

      I don't think you can actually show the bleed via photo. It really comes down to the fact if you're ok with it. Mine looks similar when you look at it through a lens but to a naked eye it is better than my 27 IPS. I think it might seem more noticeable due to the size of the screen cause you probably look at the edges from a different angle compared to your previous monitor.

  • sssx on 08/06/2023 - 20:10

    Mine works fine.
    Colours don't quite match the other two Dell monitors I'm comparing it to. Haven't updated firmware. Haven't played with colour settings much, need to learn first.
    Had to change to 10 bit colour in NVidia control panel, though not sure I can see a difference.

    • neurofunky on 09/06/2023 - 13:21

      Have you managed to fix the color mismatch? Mine have the same issue, tried all steps mentioned by others and still the same.

      • sssx on 10/06/2023 - 11:05

        Will mess about with it a bit more tomorrow.
        Also need to figure out what settings I should use for FPS gaming as it doesn't feel quite as smooth as I'd expect.

  • cyrax83 on 08/06/2023 - 20:52

    Hoping Startrack re-delivers my 2 units tomorrow. Praying for no DOA

  • rubbadubdub on 08/06/2023 - 23:02

    1 of the 2 I ordered was also DOA. Managed to speak to a rep on live chat and after some standard trouble shooting was told I'd receive a replacement. Hoping this one won't be DOA too but not holding my breath.

  • RocketSwitch on 09/06/2023 - 00:01

    You guys scared me, tested it out on the dinner table as I wasn't prepared to waste my time in the study. Works perfectly.

    The guys who got a DOA model, did yours come with a Calibration Factory Report? Mine did, apparently it was tested.

    • timliu1996 on 09/06/2023 - 00:09

      Every monitor comes with that report

  • neurofunky on 09/06/2023 - 00:40

    For those who got replacement, are they all offering to replace with a different model?
    I requested for a replacement unit as mine have a weird warm color and desaturated blue color. (see my early comments for detail.)
    And the support team reached out to me and proposed to send me a different model with LOWER SPEC, despite the online chat told me that I will be replaced with the same model and a new one.

    Below is the email I've got from them:
    Replacement of your original system
    Please note that your original unit, System Model Dell 32 Gaming Monitor - G3223Q, is now end of life and will be replaced by System Model Dell 32 Monitor - SE3223Q.

    Very disappointed, and they didn't even mention that it was of lower spec in the email.

    • lufee on 09/06/2023 - 07:56

      If this is true just request refund. No one in right mind will get SE3223Q.

    • Spun on 09/06/2023 - 14:34

      End of life? Now I'm REALLY bummed I missed this deal.

    • furBug on 13/06/2023 - 13:10

      How long did it take for Dell to respond with refund/substitute? I've had a referal to GCEO and no other communication

        for me they replied in a couple of hours.

        • furBug on 13/06/2023 - 14:17

          Yeah ok, chat created a service request for me which hasn't been updated.
          Would like to get this massive useless box out of my way, get my money, and order something useful.

  • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 09:42

    Just had 2 monitors arrive. One works, one DOA. FML. now what?

    • RSmith on 09/06/2023 - 09:49

      Keep one and return the other.

      • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 09:52

        Was hoping for replacement. Spoke to Dell on the phone and they said I first have to return the monitor then a replacement would be issued. Could take a week or two. I thought Dell offered replacement immediately?

        • mszoidberg on 09/06/2023 - 09:56

          With the group of us in this thread that had DOA, we've been told they aren't issuing replacement monitors. That we either get a refund or are offered a different model (a far worse model).

          • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 09:59

            @mszoidberg: Oh well. If they offer the lower spec guess I'll refund one

          • Teal on 09/06/2023 - 10:16

            @mszoidberg: support offered the G3223D after I suggested it

            But they didnt offer to refund the difference…

            At the moment am playing hardball and not budging till they offer G3223D at a suitable discount, but yeh already looking else where for a suitable alternative.

            • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 10:31

              @Teal: I wouldn't even accept that personally. 32 inch at 1440p is a pass

    • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 12:22

      Somehow my second monitor just came alive. Doing some testing - hope it's fine.

      Not sure what I did, I changed computers and I started pressing the button on the bottom instead of the joystick on the back and it turned on.

      • mszoidberg on 09/06/2023 - 12:26

        Was the on screen menu able to pop up before when it was DOA?

        Otherwise, that sounds hopeful. Did you change any cables? Do anything special?

        • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 12:32

          No the on-screen menu didn't pop up. The rear blue light didn't turn on either. But I left it for an hour or two, came back.

          Plugged it into a different PC, changed input cable from USBC to a HDMI cable and started to press all the buttons including the ones on the back and the button on the bottom and it just turned on. Updating the firmware now.

          • mszoidberg on 09/06/2023 - 12:38

            @cyrax83: Interesting…I've the blue light going on mine. Maybe I'll leave it on for a few hours and try what you did. Enjoy :)

            • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 12:45

              @mszoidberg: Thanks, updating firmware on both so far so good. Can't believe my luck. What a rollercoaster.

          • Teal on 09/06/2023 - 13:40

            @cyrax83: Glad one of us has rose from the dead

            We all had the blue light but no OSD, so I am assuming your case is different to ours

            Enjoy the setup

          • OkeyDokey87 on 09/06/2023 - 14:26

            @cyrax83: I will try your way tonight, are steps as below:

            • Plugin the power
            • Press bottom button to turn On Monitor
            • Leave Monitor for few hours
            • Plug it into PC by HDMI cable
            • Press all the button on Monitor

  • Cc2018 on 09/06/2023 - 12:27

    Just found I did not send my email requesting a replacement. The email was in the draft box. Will get a refund. I thought they would offer a better model when the original model is not available.

    got mine two days ago and already sold S2722QC it replaced

    I am absolutely blown away by the monitor, very smooth with 3070 in 4k gaming - connected via DP here

    I did switch HDR off basically, and switched to creator mode, but I am not quite happy with the colors, will have to play more with it.

    left AMD FreeSync Pro on, but turned G-Sync off in nvidia control.

    there's just way too many variables, and I need to figure out the best way to use it for both creative workloads and gaming from 2 different sources HDMI and DP..

    really sorry for everyone who got a DOA unit! Dell seems to be doing a bit of self damage there with low QA standards..

    oh by the way there are a few Dell gaming monitors 1440p and 1080p rather cheap in their outlet for those who got tbeir units DOA..

    • neurofunky on 13/06/2023 - 16:14

      any luck with the color?

      • shabaka on 13/06/2023 - 18:26

        I decided to leave it as is, I have a calibration device, will calibrate and probably share the profile then

      • shabaka on 17/06/2023 - 09:39

        OK I basically followed RTings calibration info for now, so far so good, colors are much better.

        Their settings are:
        profile: custom color
        gain: R-G-B 100-100-94

        and install their calibrated profile

        details here: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/g3223q

        • donamique on 17/06/2023 - 10:44

          Is the calibration meant to be different for each monitor/panel?

          • shabaka on 17/06/2023 - 12:41

            @donamique: it can differ slightly, best way of course is to calibrate independently.

            I have a calibration device, just can't find time to get it done.

            IMO with the RTings profile the colors are a bit too saturated.

  • furBug on 09/06/2023 - 16:30

    Got mine, DOA. Chat didn't really give me anything conclusive about what they can do for me, but I guess a refund is on the cards.

    • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 17:19

      Does blue light turn on at the back when power is on or is it off?

      • furBug on 09/06/2023 - 17:32

        Yep lights all turn on, backlight comes on. No OSD or computer image. Computers can see it fine, monitor flickers the backlight selecting the input when I plug it in. Just doesn’t show anything.

    What scaling percentage you guys using? 100% is too small, 150% is not bad but I think a bit too big and negates alot of the benefit. I think 125% is the sweet spot at 4K 32"

    I'm 65-75cm away from screen

    • Pelilah on 09/06/2023 - 17:25

      Im with you on that. I've got it at 125%. 100% is way too small.

      I feel like 135% would be good but don't have that option

    • shabaka on 09/06/2023 - 19:59

      125 for work (lots of graphs and charts), 150 for other use

      kinda yes need a 135 setting in between

      • cyrax83 on 09/06/2023 - 23:59

      Whats image retention?

      • FrugalFrella on 09/06/2023 - 22:27

        Basically leave a bright image on the screen for a while and you'll be able to see a ghost of that image stuck there for a while. Basically like burn-in on OLED's but it happens and goes away quickly

    edit: looks like my graphics card is too old to support the bandwidth as 10 series doesn't have DSC. Sounds like a PC rebuild is on the cards lol

      worked straight away for me. what is the problem? I am connected using DP to my 3070, it was set to 60hz by default, I set it to 144, has been running smooth since

      Your graphics card might not support the bandwidth required. What are you using and connection type?

          You would need to use DisplayPort.
