Counter-anecdata: I have 2 Dell U2720Q (Ultrasharp 27") bought in 2021 and they've been great.

That said, I've always stuck for Dell's upper-range Ultrasharp (U prefix in models) monitors, being slightly wary of their cheaper series which the S in your S3221QS implies.

I have a 13yr old 27" Ultrasharp still going well.

+1 to only buy Ultrasharp if buying from Dell. The others can be junk.

I'm using 2x Dell U3011s, one I purchased around ~2013 probably and the other I got used recently for $100. My only issue with them is that they have PWM coil whine that only goes away if I crank the brightness to ~90%, which seems to produce an immense amount of heat and probably power consumption. I'd love to find a viable alternative solution for this, because these are my favorite monitors for now.

The model appears to have been released 16 years ago.

I haven't yet found a monitor that makes sense to replace them with either.

I think there is a slightly newer version of these, but I have the same set up. I haven’t been able to find anything that has the vertical space that these monitors do. Even Ultra Wide monitors just aren’t tall enough. If I got this 52 inch behemoth that would help, but I would actually lose horizontal space.

Ya, I've tried at least one of the newer versions and they were great too. 16:10 or almost anything else than 16:9 please
