If you prioritize budget and general productivity with a good text clarity and image quality, the Dell monitor is a cost-effective choice. However, if your focus is on a superior gaming experience with high contrast, brightness, and better color accuracy for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Nubia RedMagic offers significant improvements but at a higher cost. The Nubia is also suitable for serious color work including HDR video editing. For competitive gaming, the Nubia's higher refresh rate and response time provide a clearer and more responsive gameplay experience. 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."
