Display and performance
The S3225QS offers 4K resolution at 31.5", producing a pixel density suitable for detailed content, productivity and media consumption. Review testing highlights that the monitor performs well for general use and casual gaming, delivering good motion handling for its class thanks to the 120 Hz option and adaptive sync support. Color coverage and peak brightness are tuned for everyday content rather than professional color‑critical work; expect accurate, vibrant images for streaming, editing previews and spreadsheets.
Important specs: 3840×2160, up to 120 Hz, ~300 cd/m² typical brightness (retailer specs list brightness around this level).

The S3225QS includes two HDMI 2.1 ports (supporting 4K@120Hz FRL and VRR per HDMI 2.1), one DisplayPort 1.4, and standard monitor I/O for consoles and PCs. It does not include a USB‑C hub; the focus is on video and audio connectivity for entertainment and desktop setups. Built‑in speakers and HDR/VRR support make it a convenient single‑screen solution for living‑room or desk use.
