If you prioritize a high-quality gaming experience with deep blacks and excellent contrast, the Asus with its OLED panel is excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, for competitive gaming where the fastest response times and highest refresh rates are crucial, the Dell with its superb refresh rate and response time would be a better fit. The Asus offers a larger screen and higher resolution, which can enhance productivity and immersion, but this comes at a higher price. The Dell, on the other hand, is more budget-friendly and still very good for casual gaming and everyday use. Choose the Asus for top-tier visuals and the Dell for competitive gaming and better value.

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."
