If you prioritize a larger screen and sharper image for a more immersive experience in productivity tasks and media consumption, the Dell S2722DGM with its higher resolution would be a better fit, plus it offers a superior contrast ratio which is great for darker scenes in games and movies. However, for vibrant and consistent colors at different angles, and especially if you're into digital photo editing or print photo tasks, the Lenovo G24-20 with its IPS panel would serve you better despite its smaller size and lower resolution. For competitive gaming, both have high refresh rates, but if you're on a tighter budget, the Lenovo may suffice. Give Feedback
