If your priority is a sharper image and professional photo editing with better text clarity, the Dell U2723QE with its higher resolution is a suitable option despite its higher price. However, if you prefer a larger screen and a monitor that excels in competitive gaming thanks to a higher refresh rate and better responsiveness, the LG 32GP850 would be a better fit and will save you money. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or media, but for daily productivity and non-HDR tasks, the Dell excels, whereas the LG offers a smoother gaming experience. Give Feedback
