If you're seeking a premium gaming experience with exceptional color depth and contrast, and are interested in HDR gaming and media, the Dell Alienware with OLED technology would be an excellent choice despite its higher price. Alternatively, the Lenovo offers a decent experience for casual and competitive gaming at a budget price, with good image clarity and a matte screen that reduces glare. However, for productivity and media consumption, it doesn't match the Dell's performance and wider color gamut, which is also more suitable for tasks like digital photo editing. Give Feedback
