Our Verdict

Dell Alienware AW2523HF

Dell Alienware AW2524H

The Dell Alienware AW2524H and the Dell Alienware AW2523HF are impressive gaming monitors with many similarities, but they have a few differences in features. The AW2524H has a higher 500Hz max refresh rate than the AW2523HF, and it's better to use with NVIDIA graphics cards thanks to its native G-SYNC support. Other than that, they both offer impressive gaming performance, but the AW2523HF is more versatile with consoles as it can downscale a 4k image.
