If you prioritize high resolution for detailed images and work such as digital photo editing, the Asus PA329CV with its larger screen and 4K resolution would be a better fit. On the other hand, if you're more into competitive gaming, the Dell AW2524H's faster refresh rate and support for variable refresh rate (VRR) would provide a smoother and more responsive gaming experience, despite its lower screen resolution. For HDR gaming and media, neither is ideal, but the Dell offers slightly better brightness. The Asus is more suitable for productivity tasks due to its larger screen size and matte coating, which enhances text quality and reduces glare. Give Feedback

Christian Eberle | March 2023
"If you have the system for it, the Alienware AW2524H is the perfect display to show off next level frame rates and control response. With higher contrast and color volume than its 360 Hz competition, it currently has no equal."
