If you're on a tighter budget but still looking for a large, ultrawide experience with decent performance for casual gaming and everyday productivity, the Dell monitor is a solid pick. However, if you're after the ultimate gaming experience with exceptional image quality, color depth, and superior contrast for both gaming and media consumption, the Samsung Odyssey is outstanding, though it comes with a higher price tag. Just be aware, while Samsung excels in gaming and media, it may not be the best fit for productivity due to its massive size and curve which can make working on text-heavy tasks more challenging.

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."
