Professional reviewers have not published detailed analyses, but ASUS markets the VG249QL3A as a fast-IPS gaming monitor that excels with its 180 Hz refresh, ELMB, and FreeSync Premium, emphasizing smooth performance and accurate colors.
Professional reviewers commend the Dell S2725QS for its aggressive price, bright 4K panel, 99% sRGB coverage and 9.8/10 post-calibration accuracy, noting the 120 Hz refresh and HDMI 2.1 as solid gaming upgrades. However, they criticize its modest contrast, lack of local dimming, HDR weakness and slower pixel response compared with dedicated gaming IPS panels, and point out the missing USB hub.
Everyday users echo the experts, praising the crisp 4K image, accurate colors out of the box and smoother 120 Hz gaming over older Dell models. Recurring complaints focus on gray-ish blacks in dark rooms, noticeable motion blur in fast games, and glare when the monitor is placed in bright lighting.
