If you value a premium gaming experience with exceptional contrast and color, and are willing to invest in a high-end monitor, the Dell Alienware may be the right choice for you. It offers superior image clarity and is excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, for everyday productivity and casual gaming at a more affordable price, the Gigabyte monitor is more than adequate, with a high refresh rate and good color accuracy for digital photo editing, even though it lacks advanced features like high HDR brightness and wider color gamuts. Choose the Gigabyte if you want to save money without compromising on a solid gaming and general use experience. Give Feedback

Jeremy Laird | May 2023
"It may seem like a minor tweak, but the addition of a glossy anti-glare coating makes all the difference. It really lets the OLED panel rip. That this revised "F" model is also cheaper than the OG Alienware OLED and the similarly glossy Philips competition seals the deal. This is our new favourite among the OLED monitor massive."
