If precise color work for digital photo editing is important to you, the Dell U2723QE excels in color accuracy and is suitable for this task, making it a strong option for productivity work with detailed visuals. However, if you enjoy gaming and want an immersive experience with a wide field of view, the LG 34GP83A with its larger screen and higher refresh rate offers a better choice for casual and competitive gaming. The LG's ultrawide format also makes multitasking easier, but the Dell will display sharper text and clearer images due to its higher screen resolution. Both monitors are not ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
