Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW2524H
ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP
The Dell Alienware AW2524H and the ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP are ultra-high refresh rate, 1080p esports gaming monitors. The Dell's refresh rate can be overclocked to 500Hz, while the ASUS is overclockable to 540Hz. When you turn backlight strobing on, the ASUS has less image duplication and a slightly faster response time, which gives it a slight edge in screen responsiveness for esports gaming. However, if you intend to share your screen with someone else, the Dell is a great choice, as it has wider viewing angles.
