If you prioritize an immersive experience on a wider screen with a good contrast ratio for consuming media or working on wider layouts and are looking to save money, the Dell S3422DWG is a solid choice. However, if you're willing to spend more for a sharper image, better color accuracy, and superior performance in HDR gaming and media consumption, as well as for tasks like digital photo editing, the Innocn 27M2V offers these advantages with its higher resolution and MiniLED technology. The Dell's larger screen size may be preferred for multitasking and immersive gaming, while the Innocn's superior brightness and color gamut make it better suited for creative professionals and HDR content enthusiasts.

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."

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."
