The Dell S2722DGM offers a good balance for casual and competitive gaming with its higher refresh rate and is well-suited for general productivity tasks, all at a budget-friendly price. However, the LG 32EP950 excels in image clarity and color depth, making it ideal for HDR gaming, media consumption, and photo editing, but it comes at a premium price and a lower refresh rate not optimized for competitive gaming. If cost is a major factor and you primarily game or work, the Dell may be suitable, but if you prioritize visual quality and work in image editing, the LG is a superior choice despite its higher cost.

"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."

Simon Baker | May 2021
"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
