If saving money is a priority and you engage in casual gaming with a preference for an ultrawide screen, the Dell S3422DWG would be a suitable choice. However, if you're a professional working with photos or videos and want superior color accuracy and contrast, the higher-priced Innocn 32Q1U with its OLED panel is better suited, especially for tasks involving print photo editing. It's worth noting though, for fast-paced competitive gaming, Innocn's lower refresh rate and response time might not offer the best experience when compared to the Dell's higher refresh capabilities.

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."
