If you prioritize high-quality images and work in fields that require precise color accuracy, such as digital or print photo editing, the Asus PA32DC with its OLED panel is an excellent, but more expensive, choice. However, if you're a competitive gamer looking for a monitor with a high refresh rate to enhance your gaming experience, the Dell AW2524H would be better suited for you, with the added benefit of being less expensive. The Dell's smaller screen and lower resolution may not be ideal for productivity tasks or media consumption which favor larger, higher-resolution displays like the Asus offers. Give Feedback

"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."
