Crystal clear and big
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrading from a 24" curved 144hz monitor and I can see the difference mostly in smoothness of motion even though I'm not touching the 240hz cap. I'm usually running in the 125-185 FPS range. I've always been concerned with going over a 25" size monitor, but when I saw this was an IPS and 240hz to boot I had to upgrade and give it a try. Certainly not disappointed with it. I sit about 27"-30" away from the screen and it isn't too big. I can see now though if I went any bigger it could be an issue, so this is my max size. Great color,clarity and very smooth. Got it at a discount for just over $ 400.00+ tax and worth every penny. $ 599.99 retail is a little steep for me. Nothing really technical in setting it up and really didn't have to adjust much. I don't use the Free sync tech. as I have an NVIDIA 2060 super card and it really doesn't need it. I have no use for the RGB lighting since my monitor backs up to a wall but cool if your into that sort of thing. Appears to be built like a tank and is pretty heavy. I compared it to my daughters Alienware 25" 240hz monitor and I'd say it is just a step up. So if your like me and have been thinking about up-sizing and/or jumping into the 240hz monitor market this is a good one and will be for some time. Put a few pictured below for no reason.

Solid 240HZ Monitor for HD Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty solid 240HZ Monitor for gaming at full high definition. The response time is astounding, with a constant of 1ms thanks to IPS. I haven’t noticed any screen tearing throughout reasonably constant use over the course of a few months, either. The LED backlighting is handy as I usually edit or game under lowlight area, however, the onboard controls and the according AlienFX software could be more user-friendly for ease of customization. The tilts and swivels work perfectly, although the mount which is advertised in the “features” part of the page isn’t very easy to figure out, if wallmounting should be an option for you. The only large complaint I have for this monitor is that the stand is advertised as being a “space-saver”, and it really isn’t anything of the sort. I play on a relatively small desk, and it doesn’t slide under they keyboard like stated very well

Beautiful Monitor
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this when it was discounted at 380 so with taxes came out to 400 I must say this monitor is by far one of the best 240hz monitors in the market the 27 inch display is perfect not too big not too small easy to setup and the design is very nice with the backlight and all, I will admit it's a bit pricey but you know alienware is a bit expensive but overall perfect monitor but i would recommend running this monitor with a pc that can put out more than 200 fps.

Great monitor fir everything and best for gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a 1080p monitor,Great monitor for gaming and any other use thats not 4k,runs up to 240hz that varies on game but does get to 240.it comes with an Anti Glare coating on screen so dont try to peel it off,also it does not have that film that most screens have on them so theres nothing to peel off of screen.comes with cables hdmi and display port cable no need to buy cables.also to get 240hz you need to go to your pc setting and change the refresh hz rate from 60 to 240 to run.

Q: QuestionDoes this monitor NEED a Pc.
Asked by potato.
- A:Answer No, you don't NEED a PC to use this monitor, but the high refresh rate would go to waste if you're using a console which is the main selling point of this monitor. You'd be better off buying a 60hz monitor which would probably save you some money or buying a nice TV.

Q: QuestionOk so I have a Xbox one s and I saw that someone said that the Xbox only needs 60hz but this monitor has 240hz I’m confused and don’t know what this means, also does this have a hdmi plug in.
Asked by Idk.
- A:Answer This is a 240hz which is refresh rate. It will go up to 240 hz. I’m not a console gamer, but I own this monitor. It does have hdmi input. It Also has Display input. Most normal monitors are only 60-75 hz. For pc gaming refresh rates matter for smoothness. There’s no need to be worried about the refresh rate working. The monitor will utilize what it’s given up to 240hz. The only way to get the max refresh rate out of this monitor is to turn on extreme mode in the monitor settings. Which is done by the control panel on the monitor. If the Xbox can utilize faster refresh rates. Again I don’t play games on consoles. Plenty more cheaper options for 60hz monitors if you want a cheaper route. This monitor is also only 1080p not 4K.

Q: QuestionCan I use this monitor side-by-side with another monitor to use screen sharing so I can run multiple apps on this monitor and two others, while also being able to move said apps from monitor to monitor accordingly? Thanks!
Asked by PistolSkeet.
