If you prioritize competitive gaming and a wider display for immersive experiences, the Dell Alienware monitor with its fast response and high refresh rate is very suitable. However, if your focus is on professional photo editing with true-to-life colors, the Innocn offers higher resolution and a color gamut that caters to print photo editing tasks, though its higher cost and lower gaming performance are notable compromises. Neither monitor excels in productivity due to their respective limitations — the Dell's poor productivity performance and the Innocn's lower text clarity. For HDR gaming and media consumption, both monitors perform well, but be aware of the Dell's superior media score. Choose based on what your primary activities are and how much you're willing to invest. Give Feedback

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."
