The panel is an LG IPS Black (LM315WR7-SSA1). The static contrast ratio is 3000:1 (vs 1000:1 on standard IPS panels). This is important to do color grading for photos, videos etc. as it reduces blooming (common on low contrast panels). U3226QER is VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified (for reliable HDR performance on compatible content).
Dell advertises an average Delta E < 1.5. Meaning color accuracy should be good. The monitor covers 100% sRGB and BT.709, 99% Display P3 and DCI-P3.
AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync to eliminate screen tearing on dynamic content. Dell ComfortView Plus and 5 stars TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 3.0 certification for eye comfort.

The UltraSharp U3226QER is $1030 (USD) in the US. If you want high contrast, colors etc. $1030 (around $1030) monitor. And IPS Black panel with Thunderbolt 4 means single cable connection for your workstation.
3000:1 contrast is a huge leap from standard IPS. My color grading workflow will thank the reduced blooming.
