It comes down to personal opinion. To me, the LG looks like something found on a 12 yr olds desk and when it breaks, you replace it before calling them.
Dell has its perks for sure. Warranty, nicer bezel / stand etc. Side by side though, they will look very close to the same pic quality.
Some will think, "oh the LG is a few bucks cheaper and it's the "Same". That's cool to, nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day, I just prefer the more premium look on my desk, but I don't look down on LG owners. They probably buy new monitors more than me so they want to save a few bucks.
Go with what your fav one is that fits the budget. We can claim some are better than others all day, and in the end, most are so close it really doesn't matter. Just be sure to get a 1440p IPS 100+ Hz
Go on Amazon and read the recent reviews. All point to the same issue with scan lines. Google the scan line issue too. LG customer service is terrible across the entire range of products.
Your choice is your choice. I'm just trying to educate potential buyers of the reasoning behind my decision.
Comes down to personal preference. On one had, you have a slightly cheaper (price) version in the LG with Freesync and on the other you have a slightly more expensive (Dell) version with GSYNC.
To me, Dell looks more premium, has a much better warranty, and quite frankly, I prefer the HW adaptice sync in GSYNC much more than Freesync, but everyone is different on that depending on their own situation.
The 120 vs 144 Hz should have no play in your decision. For me, the LG would need to be below $500 for me to even consider it. But again, that is me. YMMV
Edit: The Dell at full MSRP is overpriced, no doubt about that. One thing I forgot to include as to why Dell normally clocks in slightly higher than the competition as well is that they properly calibrate the colors on every monitor before it ships. So out of the box, it looks better than the same LG. Now, nothing is to stop that LG owner to calibrate their own if they know how and have the tools, but hey, most of us want to throw it on the desk and only tweak a few things. That doesn't mean it should be $1,500 but hey, it is something.
