If budget is a primary concern and you're looking for a larger screen for a mix of productivity and casual gaming, the Dell S3422DWG will serve you well while saving money. However, if you're invested in top-tier gaming performance and color quality for HDR gaming and media, and are willing to spend more, the LG 45GR95QE offers a superior experience. Keep in mind though, the LG's strengths in gaming and media don't translate to productivity tasks, where its image clarity and text quality are poorer compared to the Dell. Give Feedback

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 UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
