Our Verdict
Dell G2724D
AOC Q27G3XMN
The Dell G2724D and the AOC Q27G3XMN are both budget gaming monitors with a few differences. The AOC delivers better picture quality thanks to its Mini LED backlighting, which lets it get brighter in HDR and display deeper blacks. On the other hand, the Dell has a different panel type with wider viewing angles, making it better for co-op gaming. The AOC has a slightly faster 180Hz max refresh rate, but the Dell has an advantage with motion handling, as there's less black smearing.
