Running Intel Mac mini - looking for best 4k 32" monitor suggestion from LG

I ordered the Dell 32 inch monitor and I'm thinking about canceling delivery and choosing a LG brand of 32 inch monitor I'm looking for a 4K version and just looking for feedback or suggestions. The Dell that I ordered is U3219Q and its lost in shipping for 6 days so far.

Any insight on the LG 32BN88U-B
 
I run an LG 32UD59-B monitor on an Intel Mini and absolutely love it. A few things to note are that I run it at 3008x1692px. For me, running at 4k, all the text gets way too small to read. I had a friend come over with an X-Rite (or Spyder maybe?) and calibrate it using the free app DisplayCAL. I can't recommend doing that enough. Finally, a VA monitor limits the viewing angle. It doesn't bother me at all but if I'm color correcting a photo I'll place it at the center of my screen rather than off to an edge just because it appears to change slightly on the edge.

Keep the Dell. It’s (one of) the best 32 inch display according to rtings.com.

There’s inly one thing that bothers me : Dell says it’s flicker free on its page, but rtings detects a 200 Hz PWM frequency. I really, really don’t want PWM display. But I haven’t found a good 32 inch 4k IPS with Direct Current (non-PWM).
The U2720Q is flicker free certified.
 
Thanks for the feedback. The Dell is still in transit And I told them to send it back to the shipper. I ordered the 31.5 inch 4K LG from BH and received it the next day.
Love the monitor and mounted it on a ergo arm.

I will share some photos and some details later
 
My budget was small after I got the base M1 Mini, so I got the Samsung UJ59 32" UHD 4K display at Best Buy for $250.

The only complaint is that I can't get the Samsung blacks to match the Apple display. I never did a calibration and don't know how to do that...

I do love it next to my native 27" Apple Thunderbolt display since 2011..

I have the LG in the signature. Love it. I use it for photography, video and 3d work. It does it's best after calibration.

I would just change it for the 32UN880 ...
