If you're on a tighter budget and primarily engage in casual gaming or general productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU might suit you well with its lower price and decent performance for those tasks. However, if you're more interested in competitive gaming or want a larger screen with a higher resolution for a crisper image, the Dell Alienware AW2723DF, despite being more expensive, offers a better experience with its higher refresh rate and resolution, although it won't provide the top-tier HDR gaming or media consumption experience. Additionally, for tasks like digital photo editing, both monitors are capable, but if you're serious about color accuracy and range, pay attention to the specific color gamuts each monitor supports.

PC Gamer
Jeremy Laird | March 2023
"Put all the pieces together, the high quality IPS image quality, the punchy backlight, the good response and the buttery smooth 280Hz refresh and you have a pretty outstanding gaming panel that's also decent for general computing duties thanks to the 1440p resolution."
