If you're on a budget and mainly interested in casual or competitive gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a good gaming experience at a lower price. It's also suitable for basic productivity and digital photo editing. However, if you're willing to invest more for a higher resolution, larger screen, significantly better color performance, and an excellent HDR gaming and media consumption experience, the Dell Alienware AW3225QF would be a superior option. While it's more expensive, it offers top-tier image clarity and performance for gaming and media, along with features beneficial for productivity and creative work, albeit with a higher cost.
