If competitive gaming is your priority, the Dell AW2524H will excel with fast response times and high refresh rates, making it a cost-effective choice. However, if you're looking for an immersive experience with a larger, ultrawide screen for productivity and media, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9's expansive display and superior color for print photo editing may justify its higher price. The Samsung may not be as suited to competitive gaming due to less optimal response times but offers a broader color gamut, which could be beneficial for HDR content. Choose the Dell for focused gaming or the Samsung for a versatile, visually striking experience. Give Feedback

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."
