If you prioritize top-notch gaming performance and vibrant colors for creative work like photo editing, the Cooler Master GZ2711 with its OLED panel would be an excellent choice. However, its high price reflects these premium features. On the other hand, the Dell S2722QC offers 4K resolution which is great for productivity and media consumption with clear text and image clarity, and it comes at a more affordable price. If competitive gaming is not your focus and you prefer a sharper display over faster refresh rates and deeper blacks, the Dell may be the more cost-effective option. Remember, the Dell’s lower refresh rate limits its suitability for fast-paced gaming. Give Feedback

Matthew Smith | March 2022
"The Dell S2722QC offers 4K, USB-C, HDR, and integrated speakers for a uniquely affordable price, but makes some image quality sacrifices to hit its low cost. It’s a good everyday productivity monitor that you should buy for its features, not its performance."
