If you're on a budget and need a monitor for general productivity with good text clarity and a decent size for multitasking, the Dell S2722QC is a solid choice. However, if you are willing to invest more for an immersive media consumption experience with superior contrast and color depth, the Innocn 32Q1U might be the better option, especially since it's larger and has OLED technology which is excellent for HDR content. Keep in mind, though, the Dell provides more utility for digital photo editing, whereas the Innocn excels in print photo editing and HDR gaming. Give Feedback

Matthew Smith | March 2022
"The Dell S2722QC offers 4K, USB-C, HDR, and integrated speakers for a uniquely affordable price, but makes some image quality sacrifices to hit its low cost. It’s a good everyday productivity monitor that you should buy for its features, not its performance."
