Our Verdict

Dell U3417W

ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q

The ASUS ROG PG348Q is a bit better than the Dell U3417W. The PG348Q has much better motion handling, with a faster response time and higher refresh rate, as well as NVIDIA G-SYNC VRR support. The ASUS also has much lower input lag, making it a much better gaming monitor overall. The ASUS also has a better stand that can also swivel, great for sharing work with someone else.
