Dell UltraSharp U3225QE
A superb large-format work monitor whose main drawback is a price that has moved up rather than down since launch.

Our verdict
The U3225QE is the 32-inch sibling of the U2725QE, with the same IPS Black panel technology, 120Hz refresh rate and Thunderbolt 4 hub. PCWorld measured contrast near 2900:1 and the best color accuracy in its test group, and named it an Editors' Choice. The larger screen gives more room for side-by-side windows at 4K. It has no speakers, motion and local dimming are weak for gaming, and Dell's current price sits above the original MSRP.
What's good
- Large 4K workspace at 120Hz
- High contrast and accurate color for an LCD
- Thunderbolt 4 with 140W charging, Ethernet and KVM
- Three-year advanced exchange warranty
What's not
- Expensive, and currently above launch MSRP at Dell
- No built-in speakers
- Mediocre motion handling and local dimming
