If you're on a budget and require a monitor for productivity or digital photo editing, the Dell S2722QC with its sharp 4K resolution and good text quality could serve well. However, if you're a serious gamer or want an immersive experience for HDR gaming and media, the LG 39GS95QE offers superior contrast and color with its OLED panel, but with a higher price tag. The LG's ultrawide screen and higher refresh rate provide an expansive, fluid experience, but the Dell's more traditional aspect ratio and high resolution might be better for multitasking and detailed work.
