Monitor arrived with no dead pixels and required no calibration out of the box. I use it mostly for coding, graphics work, web browsing, and occasional gaming. If you are a pure gamer, then you will likely be better served with a FreeSync or G-Sync monitor, which this one is neither. Seriously, don't waste your money on this if your priority is gaming, you will be much better served with a monitor that has faster response times and refresh rates, and it will cost significantly less as well.
This is for more serious work where color accuracy, plenty of height/tilt/swivel adjustment options, pixel density, better viewing angles, etc. are more important.
I have it hooked it up to a Radeon 5700XT, fonts are crisp and easy to read without needing to scale them up. Color is excellent with deep blacks, bright whites, and excellent contrast. I can distinguish even the slightest differences in color shades.
There are no built-in speakers, I don't care for them anyway, but others might.
There is some light bleed in the corners, but it's not something I notice at all while working, those looking for absolute perfection might find this a turn-off though. I guess if I wanted to be bothered by light bleed I could have it display a completely black background in a completely dark room, and then rage about the imperfections, but I have better things to do with my time.
I have read complaints about the monitor randomly "blacking out", I have not experienced this with my setup, though I have had this happen with other Dell monitors I have owned in the past. I am using a straight DisplayPort connection and things have been working fine for me.
For desktop use, 32-inches is the perfect size for 4K, any smaller and the text would start to be too hard to read, any bigger and line of sight becomes difficult, resulting in a lot of head movement. The ability to have four 1280 x 1080 windows up at one time is amazing, and all the extra real estate for graphics work saves a lot of time.
