If you prioritize a high-resolution display for productivity or photo editing with consistent color accuracy, the Dell U3223QE with its larger screen and good text clarity would serve you well. However, if you're a competitive gamer and can invest more, the LG 39GS95QE with its higher refresh rate and immaculate contrast might enhance your gaming experience significantly. The LG's OLED panel also offers the potential for exceptional HDR gaming and media consumption, which might not be as strong on the Dell. Keep in mind the Dell will likely perform better in terms of peak brightness, which could be important if you're working in a brightly lit environment. Give Feedback
