If excellent color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing is important to you and you need a higher resolution for productivity or detailed work, the Dell U2723QE with its 4K resolution and good color coverage would be cost-effective. However, for a superior gaming experience with high contrast and very low response times, the LG 27GS95QE would be beneficial for both casual and competitive gaming, thanks to its OLED panel, albeit at a premium price. The LG also offers more vivid HDR content, making it more suitable if your main interests are HDR gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
