Isn't this pretty much the same as the Dell panel which hovers around the £250 mark? Why would anyone pay extra for this monitor? (Genuine question).

Probably the same panel although there are two types of IPS, one being a mainstream version and one being the 'professional' grade one.
The dell is using an AH IPS panel so IF the aoc is using a pro panel then that would be worth the extra.
Personally if I was buying a new monitor now I'd be getting a 4k over a QHD, you can get the dell 24" (you'll not really notice 1 inch) P2415Q for around £350.

Ah fair enough, I naturally assumed the Ultrasharp series from Dell were "pro" panels.
I still think QHD is the sweet spot, on a 27" monitor at least. That way everything is still razor sharp and you don't have to worry about scaling.

+1 to that, I find 1920x1080 is only *OK* up to 24", anything past that I'd want 2560x1440.
2560x1440 is also great resolution for gaming with an upper mid-range card, i.e. GTX 970.

it's more to do with the panels colour quality etc, the pro ones have a wider gamut and in some cases accuracy etc. Honestly in 90% of cases you won't notice it and I work in design lol

Honestly, I find that the GTX 970 excels in 1080p, whereas 1440p requires a bit more grunt. After all, even a GTX 980 can struggle with keeping rock solid 60fps at 1440p with maxed settings in (some) modern games.

+1 to tribaljet. Infact the GTX980 will even fail to deliver 30fps at 1080p in the grassy areas of GTA5 (check out the HardOCP review - unlike Techspot etc they benchmarked the more demanding areas with actual gameplay instead of using the canned benchmark in the menus). You can max AC Unity at 1080p with it (though not at 60fps) but at 1440p it can struggle too. If you want to max settings on every single game you play (not even counting multisampling) and not drop below 30fps then you can't exceed 1080p (or 1200p if you want) without going multi-GPU.
