If you're looking for an immersive experience with a wider screen for productivity or movie watching, the Dell S3422DWG with its curved display and higher contrast will serve you well, though it's not the best for HDR gaming or media. On the other hand, the LG 27GP83B provides better color accuracy and a crisp image quality that's great for digital photo editing and competitive gaming due to its faster response times and higher refresh capabilities. However, it falls short for media consumption due to its lower contrast and brightness compared to the Dell. Choose the Dell for a broader view and stronger contrast at a lower cost, or the LG for better color accuracy, responsiveness in gaming, and sharper text at a slightly higher price point.

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."

"The LG 27GP83B-B offers today’s sweet spot in gaming specs and capabilities in a well-designed premium package. It’s the first 1440p upgrade over the previous releases such as the LG 27GL83A-B with improvements in image quality thanks to its Nano IPS panel."
