If you prioritize high-resolution work and tasks like digital photo editing, the Dell U2723QE with its 4K resolution and good color coverage would be cost-effective. However, for an immersive gaming experience with superior contrast and faster response times, the LG 27GR95QE, with its OLED panel, might be worth the extra expense. The LG's strengths in contrast and motion handling shine for competitive gaming and HDR media, while the Dell excels in text clarity and productivity due to its higher resolution. Note that the Dell is not suited for HDR gaming and media, whereas the LG offers a full HDR experience. Give Feedback

PC Gamer
Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
