If competitive gaming is your main focus, the Dell AW2524H will serve you well with its high refresh rate and low response time, which is great for fast-paced games, but it's pricier and has a lower resolution. For a sharper image suitable for productivity and media viewing, the LG 32UN650 offers a larger screen size and higher resolution at a lower price. However, the LG’s lower refresh rate isn't ideal for competitive gaming, and neither monitor is the best option for HDR gaming or media consumption. Choose the Dell for highly responsive gaming or the LG for better value and everyday use with clearer, more detailed images. 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."
