If you're on a budget and prioritize responsive gameplay for casual gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU is a solid choice and will save you money. However, if you prefer a wider screen with better image depth for productivity and a more immersive experience for media consumption, the Dell S3422DWG offers those qualities but at a higher cost. The Dell's larger, curved screen is great for multitasking and its superior contrast can enhance viewing in dark scenes, though it may not be as suitable for critical color work as the AOC. For competitive gaming, AOC provides smoother motion but Dell's wider screen may give you a situational advantage. Give Feedback

IGN
Whitson Gordon | August 2021
"The Dell S3422DWG is, overall, a great monitor that delivers on most of its promises, providing a sharp ultrawide experience with smooth motion. It is, however, not as great of a value proposition, costing a bit too much compared to similar competitors."
