The Dell P3223DE is a 1440p office monitor in Dell's P Series lineup. With a 32 inch screen, it's the largest monitor in the lineup. It has a few features to improve your workflow, like the USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode with 90W of power delivery, allowing you to display an image from a compatible device and charge it at the same time. You can also daisy chain a second monitor with a DisplayPort connection if you work in a multi-monitor setup. It even has an Ethernet port that you can use if your laptop or computer doesn't have an Ethernet port. Lastly, the included stand offers all common ergonomic adjustments, making it easy to find the ideal position.
Our Verdict
The Dell P3223DE is okay overall. It's great for office use thanks to its big screen that makes it easy to multitask, and the 1440p resolution offers decent text clarity. It also has good SDR peak brightness and reflection handling if you work in an office with a few lights around. It's good for content creators because the incredible ergonomics make it easy to share your screen with a coworker. Sadly, it isn't a good choice for watching multimedia content in dark rooms as it has a low contrast ratio, and it's mediocre for gaming since it doesn't have any gaming features and the motion handling is poor.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The Dell P3223DE is a great 32 inch, 1440p office monitor that has a few office features like the USB-C hub and incredible ergonomics. It's good if you need something for the office and you want the 32 inch screen, but there are other 4k office options available in the same price range.
See our recommendations for the best 1440p monitors, the best office monitors, and the best 32-inch monitors.
The Dell P3223DE and the Dell U3223QE are different types of 32-inch office monitors. The U3223QE has a much higher 4k resolution that delivers sharper text. While both have similar USB hubs, the U3223QE has two more USB-C ports and a KVM switch, allowing you to connect a keyboard and mouse and control two devices with them. The U3223QE also supports HDR, which the P3223DE doesn't, but the HDR experience isn't the best anyway. On the other hand, the P3223DE has much better reflection handling if you want to use it in a bright room.
The Dell U3219Q and the Dell P3223DE are both 32 inch office monitors with a few differences. The U3219Q has a higher 4k resolution that delivers sharper images than the 1440p resolution on the P3223DE. The U3219Q also has a local dimming feature and HDR support, both of which the P3223DE doesn't have, but neither are very good on the U3219Q. Even though the U3219Q gets a bit brighter, the P3223DE is better for well-lit rooms because it has much better reflection handling.
The LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B and the Dell P3223DE are different types of 1440p monitors. The LG is a gaming monitor with a high 180Hz refresh rate and VRR support for a tear-free gaming experience. Because of that, it also has a quicker response time for smoother motion handling. On the other hand, the Dell is an office monitor with two more USB 3.0 ports compared to the LG, it has a USB-C input, and it has much better ergonomics that make it easier to place in an ideal position.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
