If you prioritize competitive gaming, the Dell AW2524H with its very high refresh rate and rapid response time offers a smooth experience and reduces ghosting, but its smaller screen and lower resolution might not be as satisfying for productivity or immersive media consumption. Conversely, the Samsung S43CG70 has a larger, higher resolution display that's better for productivity and watching content, providing more screen real estate and clarity, with the added benefit of strong colors for print photo editing. However, its lower refresh rate and higher price make it less ideal for fast-paced gaming. Both have good color accuracy for digital photo editing, but if HDR quality and higher brightness are important, the Dell falls short as it is not suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption.

Christian Eberle | March 2023
"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."
