Included HDMI 2.1(perfect for consoles) and Thunderbolt4 offers 140W of power. WOW. This monitor even has DUAL 15W speakers.... Amazing.

Do you work for Dell marketing or something? Or is this just thick sarcasm I'm too tired to see through?

Oh yeah, console owners are totally going to drop more on a 32" monitor than their console costs - a monitor with a resolution their console won't even support.

Not once in the history of modern monitors was someone who actually cares about their monitor excited that it has inbuilt speakers.

Nobody is going to buy this exclusively for use with a console, but it’s a nice value add for a work-play home office setup where the monitor is doing double duty. Have it hooked up to the company provided MacBook during the day, and then flip over to your PS5 or whatever in the evening. The monitor obviously won’t run at the console’s native resolution but with its pixel density that’s not too much of a problem.

Most people who play on consoles aren't likely to spend this much on a monitor, double duty or not, they play on TVs that "already exist in their household" and in their minds are basically free (even though they are not). Yes, some people will do what you said, no doubt, but pretending that this is "perfect for consoles" is an extremely questionable claim, as it was definitely not the intention nor the target market.
