DellUltraSharp UP3221Q 31.5" LCD Monitor

*UPDATE* 1 Day laterSo the issues of the first monitor bothered me enough to contact Dell to see what they could do about it. To my surprise, they said the product warranty according to the tag number was already EXPIRED!? Umm, what the heck Dell, this was a brand new monitor purchased from an authorized reseller. Anyway, they sent me back to Amazon to resolve it. Amazon was good enough to send me an exchange. So the second one just came, and I set it up. There's still some uniformity issues with color on the all white screen. Also there's a noticeable vignetting going on with both monitors I received, showing a brownish tint from all 4 edges of the screen to about 1.5 to 2 inches in. The second screen I just received didn't have the bad areas of darker bars of pixels, but there's noticeable areas of color shift throughout the whole screen. Now I'm contemplating whether I live with it and say good enough, or give up on Dell altogether and look at the BenQ version of a miniLED. It's disappointing that a monitor with a $4k price tag would force me to make such decisions and not just be completely satisfying. Also, I'm very concerned with how Dell is seemingly rejecting warranty coverage on these if purchased from Amazon.*12-01-2021*There are some serious uniformity issues for such a premium priced monitor. If you look at my photos, there's a whole rectangular bar of darker pixels in the upper right corner as well as some through the lower middle of the screen. It almost looks like "burn-in" which makes me suspicious if I was issued a factory refurbished monitor for a NEW Monitor price. I bought this monitor to replace my 10yr old U3011 that has finally gasped it's last breathe after a few months of showing signs of failure. The pixel density on this monitor is definitely nice and the picture is SUPER SHARP. This aspect of the monitor is very nice and the overall dimensions is actually slightly smaller than my old U3011 due to the tiny bezels. I'm just really disappointed in the horrible screen uniformity, especially if I'm going to be doing some color work on this thing. You can see that the uniformity affects all 3 colors as well. I'm in need of a monitor but at the same time, I'm contemplating returning this thing as the price tag is quite high for this kind of disappointment. I'll have to see what Amazon or Dell suggests to do.

I'm on my third model after having to return/replace the first two sent to me due to stuck pixels, green lines, and other defects. Now, several months in, I'm already experiencing other issues (very noticeable dark "smudges" in the bottom corners). A $4000 monitor with these specs is a good deal in a way (2,000 local dimming zones, built-in calibration, 99.8% P3, etc.). However, a $4000 monitor with such horrible quality control is a ripoff. And Dell tech support is truly a nightmare. Apple's displays are overpriced, but at least you can take them in and get an easy/fast repair with friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can't say any of that about Dell.
