For competitive gaming, the Dell AW2524H with its highest refresh rate and rapid response time is an excellent choice; however, its lower screen resolution and modest color performance make it less ideal for tasks requiring high image fidelity, such as HDR video editing or print photo editing. The Nubia RedMagic, while pricier, offers a higher resolution and superb color accuracy, making it well-suited for productivity, media consumption, and creative tasks like digital and HDR video editing. If gaming at the highest competitive levels is your priority and you want to save money, go for the Dell. If you're focused on visual quality and versatility for a variety of tasks including gaming, and are willing to invest more, the Nubia RedMagic is your monitor. Give Feedback
