If you're a serious gamer or content creator looking for top-notch contrast and color performance, the Corsair W-OLED monitor, with its superior brightness and color volume, could be an excellent investment despite its higher cost. However, for those on a budget who still want a large, widescreen experience for both gaming and productivity, the Dell VA monitor offers good refresh rates and image clarity. It's important to note that neither is ideal if text clarity is a priority, and both have their own strengths—higher refresh rates and HDR capabilities in the Corsair, versus more versatile connectivity and an adjustable stand with the Dell.

IGN
Whitson Gordon | August 2021
"The Dell S3422DWG is, overall, a great monitor that delivers on most of its promises, providing a sharp ultrawide experience with smooth motion. It is, however, not as great of a value proposition, costing a bit too much compared to similar competitors."
