If fast-paced gaming is your top priority and you're looking to save money, the Dell AW2524H offers a high refresh rate and very good performance for competitive games without breaking the bank, but its smaller size and lower resolution aren't ideal for immersive media experiences. On the other hand, the LG 45GR95QE-B provides an outstanding wide display and superior image quality that shines for HDR gaming and media, with the added benefit of wide color gamut for creative work, but these premium features come at a higher cost. Choose the Dell for budget-friendly, high-speed gaming and the LG for a top-tier, cinematic experience and color-sensitive tasks. Give Feedback
