If you're on a budget and prioritize a large screen and strong contrast for better visibility in dark areas, the Dell S3222DGM might suit you, especially for casual gaming and general use. However, if your focus is on competitive gaming with very fast response times and you want the best color quality for activities like digital photo editing, despite the higher cost, the KTC G27P6 would be the better option. The KTC G27P6 also supports HDR gaming and has higher peak brightness for HDR content. Note, though, that both monitors have limited ergonomics and may not offer the best text clarity for productivity tasks. Give Feedback

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."
