If you're on a tighter budget and prefer a larger, ultrawide screen that's good for multitasking and immersive casual gaming, the Dell S3422DWG (VA) is a practical choice, although it's not the best for fast-paced competitive gaming or high-end HDR media. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for superior image quality and color accuracy, the Nubia RedMagic GM001J (IPS MiniLED) excels in HDR content, competitive gaming, and professional photo and video editing, thanks to its higher resolution, better color gamut coverage, and quicker response times, but it offers a more traditional screen size and aspect ratio.

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."
