If budget is a concern, the Dell S3422DWG provides a larger, high-resolution screen, suitable for day-to-day tasks, casual gaming, and viewing wide-screen content. However, if you're a competitive gamer or want a more immersive experience with higher contrast and responsiveness, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, while pricier, offers a significantly larger screen and superior gaming features. It's also more suitable for those interested in high dynamic range content due to its greater brightness and color range. Keep in mind, the size and price of the Samsung might not be justifiable for every-day productivity or casual entertainment needs. 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."
