If you prioritize a top-tier gaming experience with excellent image clarity, deep blacks, and vibrant colors, especially for HDR gaming and media, the premium-priced Dell Alienware AW3423DWF (QD-OLED) is a strong choice. However, if your budget is a concern and you mainly engage in casual gaming, the Innocn 27G1S (VA) offers very good performance at a midrange price, although it falls short in HDR capability and overall image quality compared to the Dell. Keep in mind, for productivity and tasks requiring accurate color reproduction, the Dell holds a significant edge, but at a higher cost. Give Feedback

PC Gamer
Jeremy Laird | May 2023
"It may seem like a minor tweak, but the addition of a glossy anti-glare coating makes all the difference. It really lets the OLED panel rip. That this revised "F" model is also cheaper than the OG Alienware OLED and the similarly glossy Philips competition seals the deal. This is our new favourite among the OLED monitor massive."

"The monitor is a sweet spot for gamers who want something faster than 165 Hz while keeping the benefits of fast response times and relative affordability. The VA panel is now more competitive against many IPS options."
