Given your consideration between the Dell S2722QC and the LG 34WQ75C, if you're looking for a monitor that excels in digital photo editing with high resolution and text clarity, the Dell could be a solid choice for you at a lower cost. It has a crisper image due to higher pixels per inch and is generally good for productivity tasks. On the other hand, the LG offers a wider screen with an ultra-wide aspect ratio that can enhance multitasking and is particularly suitable for print photo editing, but it comes at a higher price point. Neither are particularly suited for high-level HDR gaming or competitive gaming due to their lower refresh rates and response times. Give Feedback
