If you prioritize a high-resolution display for detailed work, such as digital photo editing, the Dell U2723QE offers a sharper image with its 4K resolution. It also has a higher contrast which is beneficial for viewing darker scenes. However, for gaming, especially if you play competitively, the LG 27GP83B has a higher refresh rate and lower response time, making it better suited for fast-paced action, with less ghosting and smoother motion. The LG is also more budget-friendly, yet you would compromise on screen resolution and contrast compared to the Dell monitor. For general productivity and media consumption, the Dell excels with its higher clarity, while the LG offers decent performance but may not be as sharp. Give Feedback
