Our Verdict

Dell S3225QC

Dell S3225QS

The Dell S3225QC is higher-end and better overall than the Dell S3225QS. The main advantage of the S3225QC is its superior picture quality, thanks to its QD-OLED panel, which delivers deep blacks, bright highlights, and vivid colors. The S3225QC also offers better motion handling and features that the S3225QS lacks, such as a USB hub. That said, the main benefit of the S3225QS is that it doesn't risk burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, like with the S3225QC.
