If you prioritize high-resolution work and productivity tasks at a lower cost, the Dell S2722QC with its 4K resolution would be a solid choice, but it's not the best for HDR gaming or competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate and responsiveness. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for a superior gaming experience with high responsiveness, the LG 27GR95QE's OLED technology and higher refresh rate provide exceptional contrast and smooth visuals, although it has a lower resolution, which might not be ideal for tasks that benefit from 4K clarity.

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."

Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
