Grayscale, color fidelity, saturation and gamut to factory settings
Since we are not looking at the first monitor with a QD OLED panel, we can already deduce that the AW3225QF also offers a large color space coverage of approx. 80 percent Rec.2020. We can conclude from this: In addition to gaming, you can also work in three color spaces (sRGB, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB). The extent to which Dell delivers the promised factory calibration with DeltaE < 2 remains to be seen.

Interim Conclusion
The AW3225QF also has its greatest weakness in terms of white point and RGB balance. This shows once again that a purchased monitor can deviate significantly from a test sample (see Tim from Monitors Unboxed). In his test, the AW3225QF achieved an avg. DeltaE of 0.87 in the ColorChecker. This monitor here is even higher than what Dell claims with its protocol.
I measured the DCI-P3 mode against the D63 white point. The deviations are therefore lower. If I had measured here against the D65 – paired with the strong gamma deviations: Then the DeltaE would have turned out > 2 here too. At this point I need to talk to someone from Dell, because I don’t understand the calibration on Dell’s part. D65 and gamma 2.6? At least you can set the gamma value in the OSD. Unfortunately, you can’t adjust the RGB balance in the presets. Dell should definitely change this so that the customer can do it themselves.
The bottom line is that Dell only provides an sRGB mode for everyday use, the buyer of this monitor does not get the promised factory calibration in the end. I would like to understand what the quality control looks like. Because you almost have to be blind not to recognize this RGB drift and the slight red cast.
