Choosing the Dell S2722DGM (VA) is budget-friendly and offers a solid gaming experience with a good refresh rate, making it suitable for casual and even competitive gamers who don't require the latest features. Its color fidelity is respectable, thus it's quite good for digital photo editing as well. However, for those who want the best image quality, are serious about HDR gaming and media consumption, or work in professional photo editing, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC (QD-OLED) is superior with its excellent color range and contrast, though at a premium price. It's also much wider, which could impact productivity negatively due to its extreme curve. Give Feedback

Christian Eberle | February 2022
"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."
