If you're focused on competitive gaming and want to save money, the Dell AW2524H could be a great choice with its high refresh rate and low response time. However, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 offers a significantly better visual experience with its larger screen, higher resolution, and excellent color performance, making it ideal for HDR gaming, media consumption, and photo editing — but it comes at a premium price. Keep in mind, the Dell won't perform as well for tasks requiring high color accuracy or detailed image clarity due to its lower resolution and color gamut coverage. Choose the Samsung if budget is less of a concern and you value an immersive and versatile display for various uses beyond gaming. 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."
