If you prioritize competitive gaming and a higher refresh rate, the Dell S2522HG with very good responsiveness would be a better fit, although it's slightly more expensive. On the other hand, for casual gaming and productivity tasks, the AOC 24G2SPU, being less expensive, provides good performance and better color reproduction for image editing. Both monitors have similar screen size and resolution, but the Dell offers a bit more brightness, which can be an advantage in well-lit rooms. Neither is particularly well-suited for HDR gaming or media consumption. If budget is a key concern and you still want good gaming performance and color accuracy for everyday tasks, the AOC might be the way to go. Give Feedback

IGN
Matthew Smith | February 2022
"The Dell S2522HG changes the game. This 24.5-inch 1080p gaming monitor has a 240Hz refresh rate, yet it’s commonly sold for $249.99. That’s just tens of dollars more than an average 1080p 144Hz gaming monitor. The S2522HG cuts a few corners in its pursuit of pricing, but it’s a great choice for competitive gamers on a budget."
