If cost is a concern, the LG 27GP83B offers a good balance for casual gaming and productivity at a lower price, though not as optimal for competitive gaming. The Dell Alienware AW2723DF, while pricier, excels in competitive gaming with superior response time and a higher refresh rate, but limited benefits for productivity or media consumption tasks compared to the LG. Neither is ideal for true HDR gaming or media due to their low HDR brightness. Both perform well in photo editing with good color accuracy but are not suitable for professional HDR video editing. The Dell's higher refresh rate and response time could make it worth the additional investment for avid gamers seeking an edge in fast-paced games. Give Feedback

"Put all the pieces together, the high quality IPS image quality, the punchy backlight, the good response and the buttery smooth 280Hz refresh and you have a pretty outstanding gaming panel that's also decent for general computing duties thanks to the 1440p resolution."
