Our Verdict

Dell U2715H

The ASUS ROG PG279Q is much better than the Dell U2715H. The ASUS ROG PG279Q has a faster refresh rate and G-SYNC support which can remove tearing in video games. The ASUS also has lower input lag which makes it very responsive to your actions and supports BFI to make the image crisper in fast-moving content.
