If you are a competitive gamer looking for fast response times and high refresh rates, the Dell Alienware AW3225QF (QD-OLED) is the better choice and it's also less expensive. It offers superior gaming performance and is suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if your focus is on print photo editing with precise color accuracy and you're willing to invest more, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) with its wider color gamuts might be the better option, although it lacks the gaming capabilities of the Dell. Both are great for productivity and media consumption, but the Dell offers a more balanced package for various uses at a lower cost. Give Feedback

"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
