If you're on a budget and need a monitor mainly for productivity and digital photo editing with good image clarity and text quality, the Dell S2722QC could serve you well, but it's not ideal for HDR gaming or competitive gaming due to its lower brightness and response time. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in a premium and immersive gaming or media experience with exceptional contrast and color volume, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 would excel, especially in HDR gaming, though its larger size and aspect ratio may not be as suited for traditional productivity tasks.

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."
