If you're looking for a larger screen and deeper contrast for immersive gaming and media, the Dell S3222DGM with its VA panel could be the better choice despite its higher cost. On the other hand, if you prioritize color accuracy for tasks like photo editing and a more consistent picture at various angles, the Lenovo G24-20 with its IPS panel offers these benefits at a more affordable price. The Dell offers better performance for casual gaming with its size and contrast, while the Lenovo, even with a smaller screen, delivers a sharper image for competitive gaming due to its IPS panel. Neither is particularly well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback

Tom's Hardware
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."
