Xiaomi Curved Gaming Monitor
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Xiaomi 34-inch ultrawide monitor offers a rapid 180 Hz refresh rate, high contrast VA panel and full sRGB coverage, making it a strong performer for both gaming and color-critical work. Its reliance on DisplayPort for peak performance, absence of built-in speakers and missing USB-3.0 ports limit convenience. Best suited for gamers and creators who value a wide, high-refresh workspace without paying premium prices.
The Dell S2722DC is a 27-inch QHD IPS monitor with a 75 Hz refresh rate, USB-C docking and AMD FreeSync, targeting mobile professionals and casual gamers. Its modest 75 Hz panel and lack of HDR limit high-performance gaming and bright-room usage. Best for laptop users who want a single-cable dock and solid color accuracy.
