Alienware - AW2521H 25" IPS LED FHD G-SYNC Gaming Monitor with HDR10 (HDMI, DisplayPort) - Dark Side of the Moon

Yes they are slighting overpriced. But you get what you pay for. Color is awesome, latency is top notch and the clarity is bar none excellent. Very little black light bleed and always top notch displays come from Alienware. At least in my experience. No tearing because of Nividia Gsync. I love the panel and the OSD controls. You can also charge phones and tablets from the small hub on it, even without it being connected to the pc. Its a great monitor. Is it worth it for the price? Only if you really want it to match with other Alienware accessories, or you can get it on sale. No question about the quality though.

The frames are amazing and the hdr pops out beautifully !

Awesome for 360 fps. I play fortnite. I can tell you that much that is good for that game. Now if we can get 4K resolution at 360 fps for a decent price then we be in there. Lol. Probably gonna be a 10k monitor if one is made.

Great Monitor. No issues till now. Brightness, fps and clarity is awesome for the price.

Great performing monitor but best geared for FPS enthusiasts. Image quality is good to very good for me stops short of excellent. HDR is just average. If you’re looking for the fastest monitor for esports or FPS shooters, this is the monitor for you. I have mine paired with an Alienware M15R2 with a 2080 max Q. My laptop can not muscle this thing past 200fps with settings turned down. But I don’t run it that way. For those wondering about how it might impact your laptop performance - I’d say I gained about 5-6% due to the fact that using the display port on laptop bypasses the Intel GPU and runs soley on the 2080. For that reason alone an external monitor is worth the add to your gaming laptop.

Calibration Setting (From RTINGS.com) - Works best IMO Picture Mode: Custom Brightness: 29 Contrast: 75 RGB: 100-96-93 PROS: +PRICE: Total Access Member Here: Like you, I thought Total Access gets first dibbs. Now, I'm like I might as well keep it. Up to 2 years of free insurance (with deductible)? Why not buy open box excellent everything? Currently this is $200 off + $50 off with Open Box Excellent. Total Access Protection Check. +Upgraded from the AW2518H (TN 240 Hertz). WHAT A DIFFERENCE between IPS and TN. Like many out there, I was extremely skeptical of performance. However, the input lag on this IPS panel ACTUALLY BEATS the TN. Seriously, like HUH? +IPS VS TN: IPS will always win but the problem was it didn't meet TN performance levels before. However, tech changed and IPS has beaten TN. I still am in shock about that but it is 100% true. +360 Hertz is amazing if you can reach it. I play CS:GO more than any game out there logging over 2000 hours. 360 hertz is worth it to me. Is it worth it to you? Honestly, you can only get 360 hertz on some games (not new ones). If you are buying this for other higher requirement games, there's no point to get 360 hertz because you'll never reach it. Maybe with Alder Lake + 3090...we will see but doubtful. +New tech is better. This one actually looks better than my AW3420DW despite them being the same ish tech. RTINGs gave this monitor super high marks in all but contrast (IPS, blacks don't look black). I'm hoping one day OLED will hit this spec or better as OLED is the future once they figure out how to do 360 hertz with it and low ms. CONS -Ghosting: Extreme Mode has ghosting for sure. Super Fast and Fast are great but it isn't 1ms. I stuck with Super Fast. -360 hertz is a niche game market. It only works with older games if properly matched with good CPU + GPU. Otherwise, honestly you don't need it.

It is a solid product that delivers perfomance, color, build quality and talk about quality control. I grew tired after countless purchases of other brands, there was always something, dead pixel, build felt flimsy/delicate, washed colors etc... I see myself sticking with Alienware from now on.

Smooth as Butter, hdr is great, onboard utilities are also dynamic
