Is QHD sharp enough on a 31.5-inch screen?

It works out to 93 pixels per inch, so text is a little larger than on a 27-inch QHD panel at the same scaling. That suits people who sit further back or want everything readable at 100% scaling without squinting.

What does the USB-C hub on the P3225DE do?

One USB-C cable from the laptop carries video, USB data and up to 90W of charging. The monitor's USB ports and its wired network connection all reach the laptop through that cable.

Does it have an Ethernet port?

Yes. A rear RJ45 port rated at 1GbE puts a USB-C connected laptop on the wired network without a dock or adapter.

Which ports are on the back?

One HDMI, one DisplayPort 1.4 in, one DisplayPort 1.4 out with MST, one USB-C 5Gbps upstream with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 90W Power Delivery, two USB Type-A 5Gbps ports and one RJ45 Ethernet port. A pop-out panel on the front adds one USB-C (15W) and one USB Type-A.

Can I daisy chain a second monitor?

Yes. The DisplayPort out port supports MST, so a second display connects to this monitor instead of taking another port on the laptop.

How many colours does it show?

Dell rates the P3225DE at 1.07 billion colours with 99% sRGB coverage, a 1500:1 contrast ratio and 350 nits of brightness.

Does the P3225DE have speakers?

No. There are no built-in speakers. The stand has soundbar slots for Dell's clip-on soundbar.

How far does the stand adjust?

150mm of height, -5 to +21 degrees of tilt, 30 degrees of swivel each way and a 90 degree pivot for portrait use. The stand is removable for a 100 x 100mm VESA mount.

The monitor with stand, a power cable, a 1.8m DisplayPort 1.4 cable, a 1.0m USB-C to USB-C 100W cable, a 1.8m USB-C to USB-A cable, a QR card, regulatory information and a cable tie.
