If you value a larger screen and higher resolution for tasks like productivity and media viewing, you may prefer the Asus VG28UQL1A, although it won't deliver as high refresh rates for competitive gaming as the Dell AW2524H. Conversely, the Dell AW2524H offers best-in-class refresh rates and response times, making it ideal for competitive gaming, but its lower resolution and smaller screen size might not be as suitable for productivity or immersive media experiences. If budget is a concern, the Dell's lower price point makes it a more cost-effective option for gaming-focused users. Give Feedback

"The Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A is, in many ways, a great 4K gaming monitor. It has a sharp, accurate image with good contrast and excellent motion clarity. Luminance uniformity is its only weakness. The monitor’s $799 MSRP is relatively affordable for a 4K HDMI 2.1 monitor, as well."

"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."
