If you prioritize a sharper image and better color accuracy for tasks like photo editing or more immersive media consumption, the Dell S2722QC with its higher resolution would be preferable. However, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a higher refresh rate which could make for smoother visuals in gaming, especially for fast-paced competitive games. The Dell comes at a higher cost, which may be justified if you value work and media performance more, while the Lenovo could be suitable if you want to save money and are mainly interested in gaming or general use.

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."
