Dell 32 Plus QD-OLED Review: HDR and OLED Dream

Speaking of this lower telescope, you will notice the dead center of the camera under the screen – normally a very strange place for a webcam. But it is because this camera is not for zoom calls. Instead, it is a question of following your head in a 3D space to create the assertions of the instructor of “space audio”. Using beam training technology, speakers can create virtual surround sound in compatible games and movies. It’s not perfect, but it can add an additional immersive element. (It only works with a person at a time.)

While the camera and additional speakers make a thick, almost similar telescope A modern iMacThe five-speakers’ audio system also produces a decent standard audio. It becomes strong enough to fill a room, which is important because this instructor is intended for entertainment. Audio is not as rich and full as Apple studio displayBut these speakers are better than almost All other monitors I tested.

The difference OLED

The 32 Plus has a sharp screen, with its resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels stretched on a 32 -inch panel for a pixel density of 138 pixels per inch. It also comes with a 120 Hz cooling rate useful for the game, as is the intrinsic lower input delay with OLED.

But it is the image quality that really brings it out. Since each pixel is individually backlit, each can be closed individually, creating the incredible contrast with which typical IPS displays cannot compete. This contrast helps to provide an astonishing HDR effect once you turn it on (which is not on defect, as is the case on many OLED monitors). Games and videos are fantastic, bringing out these blacks and deep reflections. Dell claims that it can reach up to 1,000 nicks of peak brightness, and I measured a maximum of 946 nits in a window of 4%. It is far from being as bright as High -end OLED TV In HDR, but just create a notable HDR effect.

The colors are also extremely vibrant and clear, which I checked with my Spyder colorimeter. This makes it an excellent display for video editors and graphic designers, especially if you are ready to calibrate your screen. That said, the brightness of the DDR is the only problem I have with the quality of the panel. I measured it at only 227 nits, which could be a problem if your office is positioned next to a window. Unlike televisions, the majority of what you do on a PC instructor is not in HDR, so I would have liked to see him hit at least 300 nits in SDR, but it is a common problem with this generation of OLED monitors.

Short on ports

Until then, OLED monitors designed for creators and video editors were thousands of dollars, like the Asus proart you are pa32dc. If you are wondering how Dell has managed to hug in all this technology for less than $ 1,000, there is at least one compromise: ports. This is the smallest range of ports that I have seen on a high -end instructor for a long time. At the rear, you have the strict minimum – HDMI for your desk or USB -C for your laptop. There is no display to find. The USB-C port can make video and power up to 90 watts on a cable. You will find another USB-C port at the rear for other accessories.

Well, almost. There is a secret port in the round of this instructor – a USB -C port facing the hidden front on the left side of the screen which can be blew. It was on other Dell monitors, and this is one of my favorite features. Reaching behind your instructor to access the ports is extremely embarrassing, especially if you have to load your phone or insert an SD card. However, this is not a monitor designed to function as a USB hub For all your peripherals.
