If you prioritize detailed image work, the Dell U2723QE offers high resolution with strong color accuracy, making it a strong choice for digital photo editing and tasks requiring precise color representation, but it's not the best for HDR gaming. On the other hand, the LG 45GS95QE, with its OLED panel, provides superior contrast and will excel in HDR gaming and media consumption due to infinite contrast and rapid response times, but it has a lower resolution. The Dell's more accessible price and productivity strength makes it an attractive option for professional use, while the LG's premium cost is justified by its exceptional gaming performance and immersive curved wide display.
