Our Verdict
ASUS TUF Gaming VG258QM
Dell G2524H
The Dell G2524H and the ASUS TUF Gaming VG258QM are both entry-level 1080p, 280Hz gaming monitors. There are some differences between them, as the Dell has better uniformity and wider viewing angles. On the other hand, the ASUS gets brighter, so it's the better choice to use in well-lit rooms. The ASUS also supports HDR, which the Dell doesn't, but it doesn't add much due to its limited picture quality.
