Our Verdict

Dell S2721DGF

ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A and the Dell S2721DGF are great gaming monitors with a 165Hz refresh rate, but the ASUS has a 24 inch screen with a 1080p resolution, while the Dell has a 27 inch screen with a 1440p resolution. They're very similar in terms of gaming performance; the main differences are in the features. The Dell has USB ports, significantly better ergonomics, and it gets a lot brighter to combat glare. It also supports HDR and a wide color gamut.
