Our Verdict
LG 32UL950-W
Dell U3223QE
The Dell U3223QE and the LG 32UL950-W are both 32-inch, 4k monitors with a few differences. The Dell has many more features, as it has a much larger USB hub, making it easier to connect multiple devices. They each have USB-C ports, and the Dell supports higher power delivery, but the LG supports Thunderbolt 3, which allows for higher bandwidth than the DisplayPort Alt Mode than the Dell. Besides that, the Dell is more versatile because it has much better ergonomics, and it's also better for photo editing because it has more accurate colors.
