If you're a competitive gamer looking for high refresh rates and fast response times, the Dell Alienware AW2723DF is a strong choice, especially given its capability for very smooth gameplay. It's also suitable for digital photo editing with its good color gamut coverage. However, if you're seeking an immersive experience with a wider screen for productivity or enjoying movies, the LG 34WQ75C with its larger, ultra-wide display may suit you better, despite its lower refresh rate which is less optimal for fast-paced gaming. Both are similarly priced, so consider whether gaming performance or screen real estate is more important for your use. Give Feedback
