If you prioritize a wider, more immersive screen for multitasking and casual gaming, the Dell S3422DWG with its larger, curved display could be a better fit, but remember it will cost more. However, if competitive gaming is more important to you and you're looking for smoother performance with higher refresh rates, then the Innocn 27G1S is the better option and it's less expensive. Neither monitor is the best for HDR content due to their limited brightness and color gamut, so if that's a key feature for you, you may want to consider other options. Give Feedback

IGN
Whitson Gordon | August 2021
"The Dell S3422DWG is, overall, a great monitor that delivers on most of its promises, providing a sharp ultrawide experience with smooth motion. It is, however, not as great of a value proposition, costing a bit too much compared to similar competitors."

Allen Ngo | June 2023
"The monitor is a sweet spot for gamers who want something faster than 165 Hz while keeping the benefits of fast response times and relative affordability. The VA panel is now more competitive against many IPS options."
