If you're interested in a monitor that offers high contrast for deeper blacks, making it suitable for general media consumption and casual gaming, and you appreciate having a bit of extra performance for occasional fast-paced games, the Dell S3422DWG with its VA panel would be a good fit while also being easier on your wallet. On the other hand, if you prioritize better viewing angles, superior color accuracy for tasks like photo editing, and generally clearer and sharper text, the LG 34WQ75C with its IPS panel might be worth the extra investment, despite not being as responsive for gaming.
