If you are on a budget and mainly focus on routine productivity tasks, then the Dell monitor could serve you well with its lower cost and decent image quality. However, if you have a higher budget and are looking for a monitor that excels in media consumption, HDR gaming, and photo editing with better image clarity and color performance, then the Innocn monitor is worth the extra cost. Its larger size, higher resolution, superior brightness, and richer colors will greatly enhance your viewing experience. Keep in mind, though, that for competitive gaming, neither of these monitors is ideal due to their slower response times. Give Feedback

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."
