If budget is a priority and your work involves digital photo editing, the Dell U3223QE offers a larger screen ideal for productivity and good color accuracy at a lower cost. However, if you are a serious gamer or want the best experience for HDR gaming and media consumption, the higher-priced Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 provides exceptional contrast, color volume, and motion handling with a unique ultra-wide display that is exceptional for immersive gaming and wide workspaces. The Samsung's color accuracy also suits print photo editing, but for strictly office-related tasks, the Dell would suffice. Give Feedback
