If you prioritize high contrast and color accuracy for tasks like photo editing or watching movies, the LG 32EP950 with its OLED panel offers superior image quality, especially for HDR content. On the other hand, the Dell U3223QE is more budget-friendly and still provides good performance for productivity and casual gaming, though it won't match the LG in terms of contrast or HDR capability. The OLED model is also more suitable for professional photo editing in print, while the IPS Black panel of the Dell offers a satisfactory experience for digital photo work. Neither are ideal for competitive gaming due to lower refresh rates, but they both handle casual gaming well. Give Feedback

Simon Baker | May 2021
"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
