If you prioritize a sharper image and deeper blacks for more immersive casual gaming and media consumption, the Dell S2722DGM with its larger screen and higher resolution might be the better choice despite the higher cost. However, if you're focused on fast-paced games and require a monitor with smoother motion handling, consider the AOC 24G2SPU for its better response time, though you'll compromise on screen size and sharpness. The AOC may also be more suitable for digital photo editing, while the Dell offers a slight advantage in color reproduction but without support for professional color work. Give Feedback

Tom's Hardware
Christian Eberle | February 2022
"Though it leaves out HDR and extended color, the Dell S2722DGM delivers superb gaming performance for less than $300. With Adaptive-Sync, 165 Hz, a solid overdrive and usable blur reduction, it rocks full-motion gaming without breaking the bank."
