If you're a competitive gamer who values lightning-fast response and deep blacks, the Dell Alienware with its OLED technology is a strong choice, although its curved screen and ultra-wide aspect might not suit all productivity tasks. Conversely, the Innocn with its 4K resolution and IPS MiniLED panel is better for sharp image clarity and color accuracy in digital photo editing, plus it works well for a mix of productivity and media consumption. However, you'd be sacrificing some gaming performance when compared to the Dell. The Dell excels in HDR gaming, while both are suitable, the Innocn is better for print photo editing. Choose based on what activities are most critical for you and if they justify the price difference. Give Feedback

How the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF (QD-OLED) and the Innocn 32M2V (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
"Whlie not perfect, the Innocn 32M2V is an excellent HDR gaming monitor if you want a 32″ 4K high refresh rate display – just make sure you’re familiar with all its flaws. If you’ve been waiting for a 32″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with proper HDR support, the Innocn 32M2V is the first model available at a reasonable price."
