If you highly value immersive gaming and multitasking with an ultrawide screen, the Dell Alienware with its larger display and gentle curve can enhance your experience. For competitive gaming, the LG's higher refresh rate provides smoother motion. Both offer excellent color accuracy for general use, but if working with wide color gamuts in professional photo editing is essential, the Dell has a slight edge. The LG shines brighter in HDR content, offering a more vibrant experience. Deciding between the two depends on whether you prioritize screen size and wider color support over HDR brightness and gaming fluidity at a lower price point. 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."
