Driven by data, run by a passionate team of engineers, testers, technical writers, developers, and more. They both have a 24" IPS screen with a 1080p resolution and a native 144Hz refresh rate, except that you can overclock the ASUS up to 165Hz. We experienced similar issues as many people online, who said the picture settings don't save and reset to their defaults after restarting the monitor. It's advertised to have an accuracy that's below 2dE; however, some of our measurements exceed that. The response time at 120Hz is excellent, with very little blur behind fast-moving objects, and no noticeable overshoot with the recommended 'Off' OD setting. It also supports HDR, which the HP doesn't, and has a VA panel with a higher contrast ratio. Like most monitors, the 'Extreme' setting has much more noticeable overshoot, and unlike the lower settings, this is noticeable as a white trail behind fast-moving objects, so it's not recommended. The PG279QM has a faster response time at 60Hz, and it has a larger, higher-resolution screen that delivers a more detailed, immersive gaming experience. There's also very little variation in brightness with different scenes, which is great.

It displays bright colors well due to its high peak brightness, but with a low contrast ratio, it struggles with darker colors. Unfortunately, because the local dimming feature can only illuminate entire columns of light at once, it's ineffective at boosting contrast with the checkerboard test pattern. Sadly, it's not as well-suited for watching in the dark, as it has a low contrast ratio and disappointing black uniformity. It doesn't display dark colors well due to its low contrast ratio and has trouble with bright blues, which is normal for LCD screens. The Dell supports HDR, which the ASUS doesn't, but it doesn't look good anyways. The HP X24ih has a disappointing contrast ratio, which is expected from an IPS panel.
