If you're looking for an immersive experience with a large ultrawide screen, the Dell monitor is a solid pick for general use, casual gaming, and media consumption thanks to its wide aspect ratio and decent color performance. However, if you prioritize fast-paced gaming and want a higher refresh rate without spending as much, the Lenovo monitor, while smaller and with a standard aspect ratio, offers a good option with smoother gaming visuals and adequate color accuracy for everyday tasks. Neither is ideal for high-end photo editing or HDR content creation, but for their respective specialized uses—immersion vs. competitive gaming—each has its advantages. 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."
