Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW2523HF
Dell G2524H
The Dell Alienware AW2523HF is a higher-end 1080p gaming model than the Dell G2524H, so it has some advantages. For example, the AW2523HF has a higher 360Hz refresh rate, which is useful if you're a competitive gamer. The AW2523HF also gets brighter and supports HDR, which the G2524H doesn't, but the AW2523HF has limited picture quality in HDR anyway.
