The LG Ultra 16 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for content creation, and software development.
For general use, a laptop's screen quality hinges on clarity, brightness, and viewing angles, meaning both the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the LG Ultra 16 offer adequate viewing experiences but may lack the high-resolution detail or peak brightness of more premium models. Regarding engineering and design, color accuracy is paramount, and while these laptops provide an acceptable range of colors, they don't cover professional color gamuts as extensively as specialized models, which might affect precision in color-critical work. For gaming and 3D applications, where fluid motion and sharp visuals matter immensely, the limited refresh rates and moderate resolutions of these laptops' screens might not deliver the immersive, responsive experience seen in gaming-focused laptops, which could be a drawback for avid gamers or 3D designers.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the LG Ultra 16 compare to other laptops
"Unlike the gram, the Ultra PC isn't designed to be as lightweight as possible. The 16-inch laptop is a whole 400 g (0.88 lb) heavier than its 16-inch gram counterpart partly because its chassis is not made of magnesium. Other than that, the Ultra PC seems like a copy of the gram – but with longer battery life, lower noise levels, and a clean, delicate look."
