Alienware 240Hz Gaming Monitor 24.5 Inch Full HD with IPS Technology, Dark Gray - Dark Side of the Moon - AW2521HF

I've had this monitor for a few years now and it has been a great investment! Graphics look great and adjustable height/rotation. Still perfect for the things I use today.

This monitor is basically always on sale at around 300 dollars, which is a total steal for such a premium monitor.Pros:-There are no dead pixels.-No ghosting at all.-RGB on monitor stand.-no backlight bleeding-The IPS display makes the monitor feel extremely premium.-Stand offers tilt both left to right and up and down.-Minimal bezels.-Easy assembly-The menu on the monitor is easy to access and change with the use of a joystick on the back of the monitor.-Though obvious, this monitor does come with all the necessary cables.Cons:-The stand is very big, so though it has RGB, it would actually be better to get this monitor mounted as it takes up a lot of desk space._______________________________________________________________________________________________If your budget is around this price point, this monitor is a total steal. Most monitors at this price point are all 144 hertz, and I would really recommend getting this monitor as it both future proofs your set up while giving you the best experience for your budget.

My last monitor I purchased was in 2007, and when I rebuilt my system I bought all new to include this monitor.At first I bout a 27 inch monitor from a walk in store, because it was the only one the store had. I never thought there would be a shortage of monitors. Then after I bought it, realized it was notGysnc since I have an NVidia card. The 27 inch was way to big anyway. Way to big to use for desktop gaming. It was 4k and actually really nice though.I returned it and spent a few days scouring reviews, what kind, what size, and it was an endless task.I play pc games, and as one site mentioned anything bigger than 25 inches was too much to play desk top gaming. I don't do xbox.They were right, and although this measures actually 24.5 roughly, call it a 25 inch monitor. I am so glad I didn't buy anything bigger. Your field of view can't cover it all.Color is great, solid, and no need for me to adjust it. A very solid base, nothing flimsy about and I love that I can turn off the back lights, that everything seems to have, mice, modems, keyboards, and now monitors. Enough with all that. The box and packing was unlike anything I had every seen, a quality job, and very nicely done.The only thing I jibber about is the cost. A bit high, but if it lasts me as long as my 20x20 square NEC monitor did, it is money well spent. I am not into labels or names, but I appreciate that Alienware didn't go all kid like on displaying it. It's a good display without marketing for young kids, but shows it in a classy way.Cables hide well with a built in organizer and the adjustment of raising and lowering is nice too. I think it is very solid, the exact size for desktop gaming and colors have been very nice and clear. I am glad I bought this. I am surprised how hard 24-25 monitors are to find. This came with appropriate cables too, unlike some vendors, you have to go buy the optional cables. Packing is some of the best I have ever seen.I wanted to give this 4 stars, taking one off for price, but considering I really like this, cost wasn't so much a factor to take a star off, unless someone can tell me there is a generic version of this for much less money.

Cool lighting, fast response time, great picture!

Ive had this for sometime now & it still holds up great. No complaints

I would say other brands are better because of the price but with this your paying for extra features. The box is incredibly well made too keep everything safe, building it was a breeze and it keeps cables very clean. I did have a hard time with drivers installing, it tried to install it immediately connecting the monitor to the computer but it failed so you have to go in stop the download delete it then download the drivers and restart it; this was the only problem I had. It comes with all the cables so no need to buy your own, has controllable lighting on the back and a lot of adjustability with the included stand. Screen Looks great not the best but man it's fast. Overall great buy would recommend. Edit/Update: for anyone who will buy this do not install Alienware command center block it from installing or running if you're using windows 11 it will throw your windows all over the place because it for one is made terribly, I can't find the software to open it everything online says that you can't open the software, and it competes with Windows 11 for where you put application Windows.

A well balanced monitor for the price I got which was $315 on sale. It was out of stock at the time so I had to wait almost a month til it finally arrived.Pros:-Nice OS and controls to tweak settings and create profiles-Good pixel density so the screen is a good size-The color as an ips is excellent-The response time is great when set to fast and super fast but when set to extreme its not worth the ghosting artifacts-Great colors makes it easy to see and has nice settings to tweak the darkness to see easierCons:-Extreme has alot of ghosting-No speakers ig but not really an issue for gamers-Mine came with one pixel dead off the bat which is stupid on alienwares part so its green when on-The lighting is good mostly for the power led and back led strip but there is no white setting-The stand is wellmade and sturdy but heavy and protrudes a little too far to the userOverall the monitor if you can find it for $350 or less then its a steal maybe even under $399 if you really want a good low response time ips for the color monitor, is so then definitely pick it up.
