The Dell U3223QE offers a larger screen with a higher resolution, which is great for productivity and digital photo editing due to better text quality and image clarity. However, it's not the best choice for gaming because of its poor refresh rate and response time. The LG 34GP83A, on the other hand, provides a superior gaming experience thanks to its fair refresh rate and good response time, making it suitable for casual and even some competitive gaming. But its lower resolution and contrast might be a downside for productivity tasks and high-end photo editing. Neither is ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption, but for standard tasks, choose Dell for work and LG for play. Give Feedback
