Our grade is a C, an ordinary price. If you can wait, we would: today's $329.99 is $80 above the lowest price we've recorded ($249.99 on Nov 25, 2025), so $279.99 or less is the price to wait for.
What's a good price for the Dell S3225QS?
A good price for the Dell S3225QS is $279.99 or less. A quarter of the 6 prices we've recorded from Nov 18, 2025 to Oct 22, 2026 were at or below that, and the lowest was $249.99. The middle of our records is $310. Our rubric says a price at the bottom of an item's history, and not one that pops up every week, can earn an A or a B. Anything over $329.99 is above every price we've recorded, and our rubric gives a price above an item's usual range a D or an F.
Lowest recorded: $249.99 on Nov 25, 2025 at Micro Center.
The 'was' price of $369.99 is above the highest price we've recorded ($329.99). It earns no credit: we grade the real price.
The grade also weighs what other stores charge and who's selling it. How we grade.
