vs Competition
The competitive field has shifted noticeably since our last look. The Lenovo Legion 34IAS10 now leads the pack with a 4.8 average score, edging out the HP Omen GT22 at 4.7. The MSI EdgeXpert EdgeXpert-11SUS holds third at 4.5, while the Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 rounds out the top four at 4.4. Our review unit sits just behind these, making this a much tighter race than before. The previous contenders have all slipped out of the top five, replaced by models that offer stronger out-of-box calibration and better port selection for the money.
