If you're on a budget and prioritize a larger screen size and high refresh rate for games that are not fast-paced or competitive, then the Dell S3222DGM with its VA panel is a solid choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for superior image quality, faster response times, and better performance in fast-moving games, the LG 45GR95QE with its OLED technology will deliver best-in-class contrast and color depth. The Dell may disappoint for productivity given its lower text clarity, while the LG's higher price may not translate into better productivity features. Neither option is ideal for media consumption or creative work that requires accurate color reproduction. Give Feedback

"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."

"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
