If budget is a concern and you mainly engage in casual or competitive gaming, the Dell S3222DGM with its high contrast and good refresh rate is a solid choice, though it falls short for productivity and media quality. On the other hand, if you can invest more and prioritize high-resolution media consumption, color-accurate work such as photo editing, or want a sharper image for productivity, the Innocn 27M2V stands out with its excellent color performance and clarity, as well as being suitable for HDR content, despite a slightly lower refresh rate which is less optimal for competitive gaming.

Christian Eberle | February 2022
"Aside from its omission of HDR, the Dell S3222DGM has no flaws of consequence. For a surprisingly low price, it delivers premium quality gaming performance with 165 Hz and Adaptive-Sync through a high-contrast curved VA panel with a wide and accurate color gamut."

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
