If saving money is a priority and you're looking for a monitor that performs decently in both gaming and productivity, the Dell S2722DGM (VA) could be a smart choice. However, if you're interested in a larger screen with better resolution, higher color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing, and superior performance for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Innocn 32M2V (IPS MiniLED) would be a worthwhile investment despite its higher cost. Keep in mind that the Dell offers a higher refresh rate and could be better for fast-paced games, while the Innocn offers a crisper image and more vivid colors for creative work and entertainment.
