The AOC 24G2SPU is more budget-friendly and offers a higher refresh rate, which is great for smooth gameplay in casual and possibly competitive gaming. However, the Dell S2722QC's higher 4K resolution is better for productivity and media consumption due to its clearer image and superior text quality. If gaming is your priority and you want to save money, go with the AOC. If you need a monitor for sharp images and detailed work and are okay with spending more, the Dell could be a better fit. Neither of these monitors is ideal for true HDR experiences. Give Feedback

Matthew Smith | March 2022
"The Dell S2722QC offers 4K, USB-C, HDR, and integrated speakers for a uniquely affordable price, but makes some image quality sacrifices to hit its low cost. It’s a good everyday productivity monitor that you should buy for its features, not its performance."
