Sure, I've had both and can say that they're both excellent in terms of refresh rate. The 360 Hz refresh rate makes a huge difference in gaming, especially for fast-paced games like first-person shooters. Dell 24.5" Alienware AW2521H vs. Asus 24.5" PG259QNR talks more about this.

Both are great choices for FPS gaming. I have the PG259QNR and it works fantastic! There's a good article discussing the pros and cons of each monitor at Dell 24.5" Alienware AW2521H vs. Asus 24.5" PG259QNR.

Thanks, that would be really helpful to read. Can anyone share their experiences with the refresh rates on these monitors?

That's great to know! I noticed the response times on both are pretty low as well. How do they compare when it comes to gaming?

The response times on the AW2521H and PG259QNR are equally impressive, with both coming in at 1 ms. This means there's virtually no ghosting or blurring during fast movements in games.

Awesome, that sounds perfect for my setup! I'm still trying to figure out which monitor will be better for me though. Any personal experiences on this matter would be appreciated.

Well, it really comes down to personal preference and your specific needs. Both monitors are excellent choices, but the AW2521H has a slightly better color capability with 99% SRGB, while the PG259QNR edges out in DCI-P3 coverage at 97%.

I've used both and found the AW2521H to be more comfortable for longer gaming sessions due to its ergonomic design. It also integrates well with my Alienware peripherals, making it a seamless choice for me.

Thanks everyone for your input! Based on what you've all shared, I think I'll go ahead and give the AW2521H a try. Hopefully, it'll make my gaming experience even better!
