If you prioritize immersive gaming and deeper contrast for media, the Dell monitor with its larger screen and higher resolution is a better fit, but it's not the top choice for HDR content. The Gigabyte, on the other hand, with its IPS panel, offers better color accuracy and wider viewing angles, which are advantages for productivity tasks and digital photo editing. However, it has a smaller screen and lower resolution which is less ideal for detailed work but can be an affordable option with a decent gaming experience. Both feature high refresh rates for smooth gaming; choose based on whether screen size or color performance aligns more closely with your needs. Give Feedback

"Though it leaves out HDR and extended color, the Dell S2722DGM delivers superb gaming performance for less than $300. With Adaptive-Sync, 165 Hz, a solid overdrive and usable blur reduction, it rocks full-motion gaming without breaking the bank."
