If competitive gaming is your main focus, the Dell AW2524H with its high refresh rate and low response time will provide a smoother experience. The LG 39GS95QE, with its larger screen and higher resolution, is better suited for immersive gaming, media consumption and multitasking in productivity due to its wide aspect ratio and superior color depth. For print photo editing or tasks requiring accurate color representation, the LG is preferable. However, if budget is a concern and your primary activities include casual gaming and general use, the Dell may serve you well without the higher cost of the LG. Give Feedback
