The Dell U2723QE offers a sharp image with high resolution suitable for digital photo editing, good text quality, and is great for productivity due to its larger screen real estate and consistent color across the display. If you're into casual gaming and your priority is a crisp display for work and some photo editing at a more affordable price, this could be the right choice. On the other hand, the LG 45GR95QE excels in gaming with its higher refresh rate, providing a smoother experience, and is better for HDR gaming and media consumption due to its superior contrast and peak brightness, but it comes at a higher cost. If gaming, particularly competitive gaming, and immersive media consumption are your priorities and you're willing to invest more, the LG would be a better fit. Give Feedback

Phil Hayton | August 2023
"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
