If you're on a budget and mainly focused on productivity and casual gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU would suit your needs well and comes at a lower price. However, if competitive gaming is a priority, you might prefer the Dell AW2524H, as it offers superior performance in fast-paced games. The Dell also features higher peak brightness and better color depth, which can improve the overall visual experience, but it comes at a higher cost. Neither model is ideal for high-end HDR gaming or professional color work like video and print photo editing, so keep that in mind when making your decision. Give Feedback
