If your focus is on high resolution productivity work and photo editing with good text clarity and image sharpness on a larger screen, the Dell U3223QE offers these benefits at a lower cost. However, if you prioritize a superior gaming experience with faster response times, higher refresh rates, and better performance in dark room scenes, the LG 27GR95QE, despite its higher price, excels in these areas. The LG model is also suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption due to its high contrast and brightness, but has a smaller screen and lower resolution. Consider what's more important to you: detailed work and a large screen or gaming performance and HDR content. Give Feedback

How the Dell U3223QE (IPS Black) and the LG 27GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
