If you're into competitive gaming, the Dell AW2524H excels with its high refresh rate leading to smoother gaming experiences. It's a smaller 25-inch screen which may be a downside if you're looking for a larger display. On the other hand, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X offers a larger 32-inch screen with a higher resolution, which is better for an immersive gaming experience and improved productivity due to more screen real estate. However, it has a slightly slower response time which might not be ideal for fast-paced games. Neither are the best for HDR gaming and media consumption, but for general use and casual gaming, both would be sufficient depending on your preference for screen size and sharpness. 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."
