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
Credit: Reviewed / Christian de Looper
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.

These are the 5 best laptops under $500, recommended by a tech expert
Need a new computer, but don't have a healthy budget? You may be surprised what you can snag today, for a fraction of the price of a higher-end PC or Mac. In fact, despite rising global computer costs, you can find a handful of stellar laptops or Chromebooks for under $500 that are designed for work, school, or play. They're ideal for basic tasks, like web browsing and online shopping, reading email, accessing social media, word processing or spreadsheet creation, and some light gaming. If you're a university or college student or taking notes in high school, the prices are also digestible. We tested a handful of laptops under $500 from Lenovo, Acer, Dell and ASUS, and chose the following five as worthy considerations. While this sub-$500 computer isn't the least expensive in our round-up, the aptly named Lenovo Duet really is two devices in one — and thus, saving you even more money since you don't need to buy (or upgrade) your tablet, too. When the kickstand is opened and the screen is docked into its QWERTY keyboard and trackpad, the Lenovo Duet works like any other Chromebook laptop. However, when you want to consume content rather than create it, detach the display and leave the keyboard on a desk or table. Whether the screen is docked or not, you can use your fingertip or stylus (included). We loved the various ways you can interact with your content, including your voice, since Google Assistant is built in, as well. And because it's only 11 inches, this versatile device is small and light enough to bring with you to and from the office, classroom, or coffee shop. In fact, it's only 510 grams and measures just 7.6mm. Under the hood, it features a capable MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor and 8GB RAM — ideal for basic tasks and smooth multitasking — while the 128GB (eMMC) of storage should be enough to hold countless apps and media files. Along with a battery that tops 12 hours between charges, other features include dual cameras, two USB ports, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth are the 5 best TVs under $500, according to a tech expert The best headphones of 2025 for every budget, tested by a tech expert The best robot vacuums and mops we've tested in 2025 For under $500, there's a lot to like about the Acer Chromebook Plus, a 14-inch laptop powered by a 12th-generation Intel Core i3-1215U processor, 8GB of system memory (RAM), and 512GB of solid-state storage. It has the most out of any laptop in this round-up. We noticed how fast it booted up and was ready for use, plus the keyboard is responsive and comfortable. If you're not aware, Chromebook 'Plus' devices deliver an enhanced Chromebook experience, with an enhanced display (1080p Full HD), more storage capacity and the latest Google AI features baked in, featuring apps like the powerful Google Gemini generative artificial intelligence assistant, Help Me Read (helping you understand and interact with text on a webpage or document), Help Me Write, and my favourite, Magic Editor, to enhance photos. Like other Chromebook Plus models, the Acer Chromebook Plus includes 12 months of the Google One AI Premium plan for free (usually $26.99/month), which includes access to Gemini Advanced (a more powerful AI tool), 2 terabytes of cloud storage, and other benefits. Battery life is up to 10 hours. A Windows PC for under $500? You bet. We so enjoyed our hands-on time with the Dell Inspiron 3520, a 15.6-inch Full HD (1080p) laptop. If you don't need a touchscreen and prefer Windows over ChromeOS, this one is for you. This sleek carbon black laptop delivers impressive performance for the price — the best out of the five laptops in this round-up, in fact — thanks to its Intel Core i3-1215U processor (6 Cores, 8 Threads), 8GB of RAM for quick app launching and smooth multitasking, and fast 256GB of SSD (solid-state) memory. If this isn't enough space for all your files, there's also an SD card slot to double, triple or quadruple the amount of storage. There are also three USB-A ports, an HDMI port to connect to a monitor, and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack. This Windows 11 PC supports CoPilot for quick access to your ChatGPT-like AI companion. Computer brand ASUS has become extremely popular in Canada over the years — now the No. 1 in consumer Windows laptops, gaming laptops, consumer Chromebooks, and gaming desktops. And for good reason: along with quality craftsmanship and aggressive pricing, the company offers several unique designs to suit varying tastes and budgets. For those looking for a portable, affordable laptop, the ASUS CX14 is a 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook that's ideal for your 9-to-5 work or school life, as well as your 5-to-9 downtime, for when you want to stream movies, play some games, or listen to podcasts. It's equipped with the competent Intel Celeron N4500 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage to store apps you download from the integrated Google Play store. Cool to the touch and only 0.78 inches thick, this ASUS laptop enjoys military-grade durability, says the company, to withstand the bumps and knocks of everyday life on the go. It's not the lightest laptop at over 3 pounds, but it does feel ruggedized, which is important to many. The NanoEdge anti-glare touchscreen enjoys Full HD resolution, while the 42Wh battery lasts up to 12.5 hours in our testing – the best out of all laptops in this round-up. Along the sides of this light grey laptop, you'll find one USB Type-C port, one USB-A, one HDMI port and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack. At 0.73-inches thin, the aptly named Lenovo Slim 3 was the most svelte laptop out of the five we tested — slightly thinner than the ASUS CX14 Chromebook — but also powered by the latest ChromeOS, the same amount of RAM (8GB) and a 128GB solid state drive (though with a slightly inferior MediaTek Kompanio 520 processor). Oh, and did we mention it's under $400? The Lenovo Slim 3's 14-inch touchscreen display enjoys Full HD (1080p HD) resolution for crisp visuals, access to several integrated Google apps, and access to the popular Google Play store to customize your experience with countless apps and games. Integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3 deliver fast and reliable wireless performance, while the 47Wh battery lived up to its promise of all-day battery life. While Best Buy only has one USB port listed in its description, the Lenovo Slim 3 indeed has two USB-A ports, one high-speed USB Type-C, HDMI output, SD card reader, and headphone/microphone jack.

Tigo Energy and BayWa r.e. Empower High-Wattage C&I Solar in Thailand
At annual ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2025, Tigo and BayWa r.e. collaborate on optimization, monitoring, and rapid shutdown solutions for C&I solar in Thailand. CAMPBELL, Calif., June 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) ("Tigo" or "Company"), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, today announced that the Company will share a trade show booth with BayWa r.e. at the annual ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2025, from July 2-4, at the QSNCC in Bangkok, Thailand. At the show, Tigo will focus on supporting Commercial and Industrial (C&I) solar installers and engineering, procurement, and construction specialists (EPCs) as enforcement of new rapid shutdown requirements begins, deploying high-wattage modules in high-irradiance regions, and ensuring Total Quality Solar (TQS) through Tigo service programs. For solar projects in hot, humid, and high-irradiance (>1000W/m2) regions like Southeast Asia, the Tigo TS4-X family of MLPE devices provides the latest in optimization, monitoring, and safety for solar installers deploying high-wattage modules, including supporting the increased backside gains of modern bifacial modules. The TS4-X product line gives installers more freedom to deploy the modules that deliver the power and performance for their customer deployments, reduce labor costs with a no-bolt design and no need for additional ground wiring, and contribute to improving Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) in the large-scale solar sector. Tigo MLPE devices pair with an industry-leading list of third-party solar inverters to deliver design and installation flexibility for solar installers and EPCs. "Thailand's rooftop solar market is growing rapidly and so is the demand for safer, smarter systems," said Junrhey Castro, managing director at BayWa r.e. Solar Systems. "As a regional distributor, we're committed to supporting this growth with reliable solutions that protect both the performance and investment of our customers. Having Tigo in our product portfolio reflects our focus on quality and innovation for solar professionals across Thailand and Southeast Asia." In Thailand, Tigo will also invite installers to enroll directly in the Tigo Green Glove service program at the BayWa r.e. booth. The Green Glove service program is a premium support experience for installers of commercial and industrial (C&I) systems that enhances the installer experience and drives quality across the solar value chain with a process that includes a set of formalized support engagements for Tigo C&I installers before, during, and after the installation. "Strong collaboration between global companies like BayWa r.e. and Tigo is part of what makes the solar ecosystem work for more installers and EPCs around the world," said Jing Tian, chief growth and revenue officer at Tigo Energy. "As with many of the pro-solar nations in Asia, we believe that products like the TS4-X and programs like Green Glove make great strides in further driving LCOE down, and Total Quality Solar up, respectively. In regions with higher-than-normal irradiance values in particular, these dynamics benefit the entire industry, from equipment manufacturer to installer, and on to the operators and asset owners."

Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP) on FluentinQuality's Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on ROP. Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP)'s share was trading at $572.18 as of 10th June. ROP's trailing and forward P/E were 41.32 and 28.82 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. An experienced software engineer working on a complex line of code in a programming suite. Roper Technologies may still carry an industrial-sounding name, but the company has long since transformed into a stealth giant in mission-critical software. Its portfolio spans healthcare, education, insurance, and compliance sectors where reliability and low switching costs reign supreme. Rather than chase trends, Roper quietly acquires foundational software businesses that customers can't operate without, often holding them indefinitely. These aren't flashy, hyper-growth startups but high-retention, capital-light cash generators that offer strong free cash flow from day one. With a disciplined M&A strategy, Roper targets niche market leaders, pays based on cash yield instead of frothy market comps, and preserves each acquisition's operational autonomy. It avoids fixer-uppers and instead builds a collection of enduring franchises. The result is a business model that delivers SaaS-like gross margins north of 60% and operating margins exceeding 30%, all without the volatility or high burn of traditional software players. Its revenue base is highly recurring, providing resilience across market cycles, while reinvestment remains methodical and dividends grow in lockstep with free cash flow. Roper's strength lies in its ability to unify a seemingly diverse portfolio through pricing power, long-term contracts, and dominant positions in fragmented markets. Though under-the-radar and rarely in the headlines, Roper steadily compounds capital with Berkshire-like patience and software economics. For investors seeking reliable, high-margin, cash-generative software with structural staying power, Roper offers a compelling alternative to more speculative tech names. It's not about scale for scale's sake—it's about quiet durability, and Roper has been delivering that in spades for decades. Previously, we highlighted a on Roper Technologies (ROP) by D Invests, which emphasized its transformation from industrial supplier to asset-light software compounder, driven by disciplined M&A and exceptional cash efficiency. FluentInQuality reinforces this view but goes further—casting Roper as a Berkshire-like capital allocator in disguise, quietly assembling high-retention software franchises that deliver SaaS economics without the hype. Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 46 hedge fund portfolios held ROP at the end of the first quarter which was 54 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of ROP as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
