If budget is a concern, the Dell S3422DWG offers a good balance for casual gaming, general productivity, and media consumption without stretching your wallet. However, if you prioritize high-end gaming performance and superior image quality, and you're willing to invest more, the LG 45GR95QE-B stands out for competitive gaming with its higher refresh rate and better response times. It also excels in HDR gaming and media consumption due to its better contrast and color range. Keep in mind, the LG's image clarity for text and work-related tasks isn't as good as the Dell's, making it less ideal if you're focusing on productivity or detailed text work. 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."
