The UltraSharp 32 4K (U3225QE) is the latest IPS Black monitor from Dell, and sits alongside a similar 27-inch model, the Dell UltraSharp 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U2725QE). It also doubles as a Thunderbolt 4 hub, with a series of rear-facing and front-facing ports.
The UltraSharp 32 4K (U3225QE) monitor costs $949.99 ($699.99 for the 27), though you'll likely be able to get it discounted both from Dell and other retailers soon, given it was just released to the market today, February 25, 2025.
How we tested
In testing the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K, we used the monitor in various modes, connected to different sources, and so on. We also tested things like backlighting, using test videos designed to highlight things like display uniformity and motion blur.
We've reviewed hundreds of monitors and other kinds of displays over the years and have a deep understanding of what makes a great monitor—and a not-so-great one.
What we like
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K has deep black levels (for an IPS screen)
Let's get this out of the way right now. For an IPS screen, the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K offers excellent deep black levels and a high contrast ratio. Previous generation IPS screens have struggled to get past a 1000:1 contrast ratio, but this monitor smashes that number, reaching all the way to 3000:1.
And you can tell the difference. IPS screens are known for better color reproduction compared to TN and VA panels but have struggled to reach the same black levels. IPS Black, however, minimizes light leakage to achieve deeper black levels, while retaining that superior color reproduction.
OLED, of course, is the elephant in the room, thanks to the fact that OLED panels offer pixel-level lighting control for perfect black levels (or so-called true blacks), and contrast ratios of 1,000,000:1 or even higher. The downside to OLED monitors is the risk of screen burn-in, which happens when you have a static image on the screen for extended periods. That's common on computer monitors when it comes to things like menu bars and other icons. Not only that, IPS screens can get brighter than OLED, though OLED technology is improving when it comes to brightness.
So how do the black levels perform in the real world? Well, they're certainly deeper than other IPS screens, but blacks still really look like really dark grays. On an OLED panel, parts of the image that are black can even blend in with a black bezel around the screen, but that won't happen here.
The basic gist is that IPS technology is still arguably the way to go when it comes to computer monitors. They're bright and vibrant, and there's no risk of burn-in—plus they now sport deeper black levels. But, those black levels still don't approach OLED panels.
The image is crisp and has excellent color reproduction

A good balance between beauty and affordability.
Thankfully, the colors offered by this monitor are vibrant and bright, providing excellent color accuracy overall. The monitor can cover 99% of the DCI-P3 color space and 100% of the sRGB color space, with an average DeltaE under 2.
Some monitors offer more accurate colors, though they often cost more. It's no accident that Dell is quoting a DeltaE of under 2. DeltaE essentially measures the difference between the intended color and what's produced on the screen. It's generally considered that the untrained eye can't see a DeltaE below 2. A DeltaE below 1 is usually considered good enough for ultra-color-sensitive work, like professional photo editing and video color-grading. That said, as a casual photographer and videographer, I found the monitor easily good enough for my work. So, unless you're working in a professional setting, your experience will likely be similar.
Beyond work that requires ultra-accurate colors, the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K excels. Again, colors are vibrant and bright, and watching movies on the screen is a joy. Games looked stunning, too —this isn't a full-on gaming monitor and can't compete with the best gaming monitors we've tested, you'll still be pleased with what it offers.
With a 4K resolution, the monitor is crisp and detailed—nothing new these days, but if you haven't used one regularly before, you'll find that text looks a little more crisp and images a little more detailed than lower resolution monitors.
The anti-glare panel limits reflections
We are big fans of anti-glare glass on TVs and monitors in recent times. The anti-glare glass used on the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K looks great, even when placed right beside a window in the afternoon when glare can get a little annoying on glossy display panels. You won't have to deal with this as much with the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K. The anti-glare glass doesn't eliminate glare, but it does a good job of minimizing it—you can see what's on the screen better and it's better for your eyes.
Speaking of being better for your eyes, Dell says that the monitor is TÜV Rheinland 5-star eye comfort certified. That's thanks to a combination of the higher refresh rate, anti-glare glass, and high color accuracy. It means that it's easier on your eyes than other monitors, and could help reduce eye strain.
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K's brightness isn't stunningly high, but it's easily enough for the vast majority of settings, especially in the professional world. Even in the afternoon when the sun was shining through the window, I was still able to see what was on the screen perfectly well, with the brightness set to around 75%.
The viewing angles on the monitor are also quite good, although this is less important on monitors than it is for TVs. Even at a wide viewing angle, we were able to easily see what was on the screen without any degradation in color. The display wasn't quite as bright at wide viewing angles, but again, it was easy to see what was on the screen, and it still looked quite good.
There are tons of rear-facing ports and some front-facing ones

When connected to a laptop, the monitor can supply up to 140W of power. It also has HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, plus there are four USB-A ports and a USB-C port.
One of the big selling points of the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K over other monitors is the fact that it doubles as a Thunderbolt hub. In other words, it can connect to your computer through a single Thunderbolt cable and then allow you to plug accessories straight into your monitor for charging and connecting to your computer.
For starters, when connected to a laptop, the monitor can supply up to 140W of power, which is easily enough to top off relatively quickly. It also has HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, plus there are four USB-A ports and a USB-C port.
That's not all—there are a few front-facing ports accessible with a little pop-out hub. We found the hub a little stiff—you practically have to lift the monitor to pop it out, but it then extends down and gives you access to two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, all three of which support data transfer of up to 10Gbps.
This is loads of ports and should be more than enough for most users. We might have swapped out one or two of the USB-A ports on the back for another USB-C port or two, but that's down to personal preference.
You can also use multiple inputs at once. The monitor lets you place images from multiple sources side-by-side or picture-in-picture. Use for this is perhaps niche, but it's still a cool feature.

The monitor is made of matte silver plastic, which looks high-quality despite not being metal.
We love the look of this monitor. It features relatively thin bezels around the screen, which helps achieve a modern look. The monitor is made of matte silver plastic, which looks high-quality despite not being metal.
The stand that the monitor comes with is versatile. It allows for the adjustment of monitor height, as well as the tilt angle, so you can get the perfect positioning for your needs. Additionally, the monitor supports VESA mounting, so if the stand doesn't quite do it for you, you can attach it to a more advanced mounting system.
Dell indicates that the materials for the monitor are sustainably sourced. It's made from 87% post-consumer plastic and 100% recycled aluminum. Other materials aren't as sustainable—it uses 50% recycled stainless steel and 20% recycled glass. Hopefully, these numbers will continue to increase over time.
As we mentioned, Dell also makes this monitor in a 27-inch size that may be a better fit for buyers who don't need a huge screen space and want to save some money.
What we don't like
HDR performance is only so-so
While the monitor gets decently bright and the black levels are deeper thanks to IPS Black technology, this Dell monitor is still only 'just fine' when it comes to HDR performance.
The monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified, and you can tell the difference. That said, the edge-lighting tech on the monitor means that HDR highlights simply aren't as impressive as they otherwise would be.
Dell's own Alienware monitors, like the Alienware AW3225QF gaming monitor we reviewed, offer better HDR support, though. Some Alienware monitors support Dolby Vision and a peak HDR brightness of 1000 nits, at a similar price.
But again, the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K isn't a gaming monitor, it's more focused on productivity, which means that HDR support isn't quite as important. At least until you want to watch a movie on it.
It's not fully equipped for gaming
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K doubles its refresh rate to 120Hz compared to the previous generation model, which makes for a smoother experience overall. A higher refresh rate is never a bad thing, including when it comes to productivity. Sure, it's not as critical as in gaming, but you'll still get a smoother look and feel, especially when it comes to animations on the screen and scrolling through web pages.
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K also supports HDMI VRR, which means that it's equipped with a widely-compatible variable refresh rate. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't support hardware-specific versions of VRR, like AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync, so you may not get some optimizations. But, HDMI VRR is open enough to where you'll still get most of the advantages associated with a variable refresh rate in general.
The response time on the monitor is a little lower than some gamers would want. Dell quotes a response time of between 5ms and 8ms depending on the mode you use, which is fine at best. Plenty of gamers look for monitors that have a sub-1ms response time, especially when it comes to competitive shooters. This monitor won't give you that.
For productivity use, of course, you won't notice a response time like that at all. You may see some motion blur now and then, but we didn't find it to be distracting.
Warranty
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U3225QE) comes with Dell's 3-year limited hardware warranty. This covers manufacturer defects and issues, not damage that you my do to the monitor during the three years. In other words, you'll want to be careful with it.
Should you buy the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K?
Yes, it's a stunning productivity monitor
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K stays in its lane in a good way. The monitor is perfect for productivity, offering a high level of brightness and a much higher contrast ratio than any IPS screen before it.
It's still not quite the gaming machine that some users may have wanted, despite the higher refresh rate, but if you're primarily looking for a monitor for productivity use, this one can still easily be used for casual gaming.
Don't forget it serves as a great Thunderbolt hub with loads of ports to choose from.

5 Insightful Analyst Questions From Dell's Q1 Earnings Call
Dell's first quarter results were shaped by strong demand for AI-optimized servers and growth across its core infrastructure and PC businesses. Management attributed revenue gains to robust enterprise and cloud service provider (CSP) orders, particularly for next-generation AI servers, and highlighted a sequential increase in large-scale deals. However, despite these topline gains, the market responded negatively as margin pressures in the PC segment and lower-than-expected non-GAAP earnings per share weighed on investor sentiment. CFO Yvonne McGill noted that 'the demand environment remained soft' in the consumer PC market and described a more competitive pricing landscape, impacting overall profitability. Is now the time to buy DELL? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $23.38 billion vs analyst estimates of $23.13 billion (5.1% year-on-year growth, 1.1% beat) Adjusted EPS: $1.55 vs analyst expectations of $1.69 (8.4% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $2.28 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.45 billion (9.7% margin, 7.1% miss) Revenue Guidance for the full year is $103 billion at the midpoint, roughly in line with what analysts were expecting Adjusted EPS guidance for the full year is $7.99 at the midpoint, missing analyst estimates by 13.1% Operating Margin: 5%, in line with the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $85.96 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Amit Daryanani (Evercore ISI) asked how to size the full-year AI server revenue opportunity and whether the strong Q1 orders reflect sustainable demand. CEO Jeff Clarke explained that the pipeline and backlog are robust but stressed that deployments are complex and will materialize unevenly throughout the year. Ben Reitzes (Melius Research) pressed for clarity on second-half growth, questioning if guidance implied a sharp slowdown in AI server shipments. Clarke and CFO Yvonne McGill replied that their outlook remains cautious due to the unpredictable timing of large deployments but reiterated confidence in surpassing $15 billion in AI server revenue. Erik Woodring (Morgan Stanley) inquired about the potential for higher-margin storage and services to attach to AI server sales. Clarke noted modest improvements to date and described storage and networking attach rates as ongoing areas of opportunity, particularly given the shift toward disaggregated architectures. Wamsi Mohan (Bank of America) asked how tariffs and competitive pricing are impacting gross margins, specifically on AI servers. Clarke confirmed that guidance incorporates known tariff impacts and said that the company did not raise prices, with current margin outlook reflecting both AI server profitability and broader market pressures. Samik Chatterjee (JPMorgan) questioned whether recent demand trends reflect customer pull-forward or macro caution. Clarke acknowledged some pull-forward behavior but emphasized that traditional server and storage growth has moderated, especially in North America, reflecting both market dynamics and customer spending patterns. In future quarters, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the pace at which Dell converts its AI server backlog into revenue and the timing of major customer deployments, (2) margin trends across core segments, particularly as competitive pricing and large deal activity persist, and (3) the progression of storage and services attach rates to AI infrastructure sales. Execution against these milestones will indicate whether Dell can sustain growth and improve profitability amid evolving IT spending patterns. Dell currently trades at $126.31, up from $113.57 just before the earnings. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it's free). Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth. While this has caused many investors to adopt a "fearful" wait-and-see approach, we're leaning into our best ideas that can grow regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate.

How I used a Raspberry Pi to save my old Canon scanner
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority A couple of years ago, I decided to invest in a high-quality scanner. The idea was to digitize and archive dozens of old photo albums from my childhood that were scattered around in boxes. You know how these projects go. Starting is easy. Seeing it through, not so much. Over the years, I've kept coming back to it in bursts. But year on year, I've been running into roadblocks. Namely, driver support. You see, what started as a functional scanner turned into a scanner that somewhat worked, and finally into a scanner that just won't show up on my MacBook at all. If you know me and my relationship with tech, you'll understand why just tossing the scanner didn't feel right. It still powered on. It still had value. But the software world had moved on, and like a lot of perfectly usable tech, it was left behind. That got me thinking. There's got to be a better way. I had a Raspberry Pi 4 lying around that I'd previously used for a Pi-hole project. It wasn't doing much anymore. I remembered reading that the SANE project supported a wide range of scanners, including Canon's older LiDE series. So, if I could get the Pi to act as a middleman, handling the USB connection and sharing the scanner over the network, I might be able to bring it back to life. It sounded like the kind of slightly overengineered weekend project that's just challenging enough to tickle my fancy. Obviously, I dived right in. Setting it all up Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority I started by installing Raspberry Pi OS Lite as I didn't need a GUI, just terminal access to gain SSH access and install drivers. Once the Pi was set up and updated, I installed the SANE utilities. For those unfamiliar with it, SANE aims to bring open-source access to any, if not all, scanners through a common API. To my surprise, the Canon LiDE 220 showed up right away with a simple 'scanimage' command. That's the moment that gave me confidence that the project might just work. From there, I configured the Pi to expose the scanner over the network using saned, which is essentially a lightweight daemon that shares SANE-compatible devices across your LAN. I added the appropriate IP ranges to the config files, made sure the service was running, and confirmed that I could detect the scanner from my Mac. Open-source doesn't have to mean terminal scripts, you can get a near-native experience too. I could have stopped there and built some small scripts to interact with it remotely, or triggered a scan over the terminal, but I wanted a cleaner, browser-based solution that would let me scan from anywhere on the network. That's where scanservjs came in. It's an open-source web frontend for SANE, built with a modern UI and a focus on simplicity. Even better, I could host it on my Synology NAS, which already ran Docker and had plenty of resources to spare. Deploying scanservjs was straightforward. I pulled the container using Docker's CLI, passed in the Pi's IP using an environment variable, and configured it to run in host networking mode so it wouldn't run into port mapping issues. I also mounted a shared folder from the NAS so I could store scanned files in a central location. Within minutes, I had a fully functional web interface that let me control the Canon scanner from any browser. I could preview, scan, change formats, and adjust resolution — all without touching the scanner or dealing with a native app. Believe me, I did a little jump when that first scan came through. I hadn't really expected this project to work out as well as it did. The page came through clean and sharp, just like using the deprecated native app, and saved directly to a shared folder, ready to email or archive. I didn't need to reinstall drivers, mess with compatibility layers, or plug the scanner into my Mac. It just worked. And it's continued to work every time I've needed it since. Breathing new life into old-hardware Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Look, I've always had a soft spot for good hardware. Not flashy or over-designed tech, but simple tools that do their job well. My Canon LiDE 220 scanner is one of those. It's why I chose it over an all-in-one. It's a USB-powered photo-focused flatbed that always delivers razor-sharp scans, runs silently, and just does one job. It didn't take up too much space, nor did it require a dedicated power adapter; both of which are excellent conveniences. And most importantly, I've yet to find a true replacement for it that doesn't cost hundreds more. The problem wasn't with the scanner itself. It was the software ecosystem around it. As macOS evolved with architecture changes and major operating system upgrades, driver support slowly vanished. For lack of better words, my perfectly functional scanner no longer works with my computer. Then I tried third-party tools like VueScan, which sort of worked but came with limitations like a high price and a clunky interface that didn't feel like it belonged on a modern Mac. I really shouldn't have to pay for another software to get my hardware up and running. Eventually, I gave up and shoved the scanner onto a shelf. It sat there for months while I relied on phone apps to scan documents. And while they were fine in a pinch, I never stopped missing the clean edges, high resolution, and consistency I used to get from my scanner. Scanserver and SANE made my decade-old scanner better than its ever been. Using this same scanner now feels better than it ever did when it was plugged directly into my computer. It's completely decoupled from any single device. Anyone on the network can use it, and it doesn't matter whether they're on a Mac, PC, or even a tablet or smartphone. The browser interface is responsive and clean, and it handles everything from basic document scans to high-resolution TIFF output. The scanner itself is still doing the same work it always did, but it's become a smarter, more accessible part of my workspace. What's interesting about this project is that none of this feels like a hack. The experience is smooth and consistent. The Pi handles scanning duties quietly in the background. The NAS takes care of storage. scanservjs wraps everything in a clean interface. It feels less like a workaround and more like a modern, modular way to use older hardware. It also reminded me how capable these open-source tools really are. Without SANE and scanservjs, this setup wouldn't have worked. Docker and the Raspberry Pi ecosystem made it even easier to stitch everything together without having to write custom scripts or compile anything from the source. The best part is that all of it runs quietly in the background. I don't have to think about it anymore. I open a browser, scan, and move on. Old hardware, new tricks I just wanted a reliable way to scan documents, and in the process, I ended up with something better than any out-of-the-box scanner software I've used. It's fast, consistent, and works from any device in the house. I didn't have to upgrade or replace anything. I wouldn't say this is for everyone. If you scan a couple of times a year and already have a newer printer with a scanner built-in, you're probably fine. But if you've got old gear lying around and a Raspberry Pi you're not using, this is a genuinely useful project to take on. It's simple enough to finish in an afternoon, and the end result is surprisingly polished.
