Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW3423DWF
LG 34GS95QE-B
The Dell Alienware AW3423DWF and the LG 34GS95QE-B are both ultrawide gaming monitors, but they have a few differences. The LG has a higher 240Hz refresh rate, which is ideal for competitive gamers. It also has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which is great if you want to take full advantage of your HDMI 2.1 graphics card. However, the Dell is the better choice if you care about having the best picture quality possible, as it displays more vivid colors and brighter highlights than the LG.
