If competitive gaming is a priority and budget allows, the Dell AW2524H's high refresh rate and ultra-fast response time will enhance your gaming experience, but it's limited by a lower resolution, which may not be ideal for productivity tasks that benefit from more screen real estate. Conversely, the LG 27GP83B offers a higher resolution which is better for detailed work and everyday use, at a lower price, but with a slower response time that is still quite good for gaming, just not as optimal for high-level competitive play. Both monitors have similar color accuracy suitable for casual photo editing but may not meet the demands of professional editing work. If the goal is to strike a balance between gaming proficiency and work-related tasks without stretching the budget, the LG 27GP83B is a compelling choice. Give Feedback

How the Dell AW2524H (IPS) and the LG 27GP83B (IPS) compare to other monitors
"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."
"The LG 27GP83B-B offers today’s sweet spot in gaming specs and capabilities in a well-designed premium package. It’s the first 1440p upgrade over the previous releases such as the LG 27GL83A-B with improvements in image quality thanks to its Nano IPS panel."
