The AOC is kinder on your wallet and is better for casual gaming with a faster response time and variable refresh rate support, making it smoother for fast-paced games. It's also a solid choice for digital photo editing due to good color gamut coverage. The Dell, however, offers a larger, sharper screen, which is excellent for productivity tasks and media consumption, and while it may not be as gaming-oriented due to a lower refresh rate, its higher resolution and color performance make it suitable for print photo editing and tasks that require image detail and accuracy. If pristine image quality for work and entertainment is your priority and budget is less of a concern, the Dell could be the better option. On the other hand, if you primarily game and do not need ultra-high resolution for work, the AOC offers good value. Give Feedback
