The LG 27UK950-W excels in delivering a high-performance gaming experience with its 144Hz refresh rate and G-Sync support, making it an excellent choice for fast-paced games where smooth visuals are crucial. Its 27-inch display ensures that players can maintain focus on the action without feeling overwhelmed by excessive screen real estate. On the other hand, the Dell UltraSharp U3821DW stands out as a versatile all-rounder with its expansive 38-inch curved WQHD+ (3840x1600) IPS display, providing extensive horizontal space for multitasking and development work.

The built-in USB-C hub and KVM switch make it an invaluable tool for professionals who need to switch between multiple computers seamlessly. However, the LG 27UK950-W's focus on gaming means that its performance in terms of refresh rate and response time is significantly better than what the U3821DW can offer, which is more geared towards productivity and design work.
