Review on High Performance Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor: Height Adjustable, 240Hz, Full HD 1920X1080P - AW2518Hf by Joseph Glowacki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Playing at 240Hz is an amazing experience!

From a guy who has 2 other monitors (34" 1440p 144Hz Ultrawide) and (30" 16:9 1440p 165Hz), gaming on this monitor is amazing because it feels more comfortable playing FPS games. in fair condition. looks a little dirty and scratched. But the box itself protected the monitor very well. The monitor itself looks really amazing thanks to its stylish design. When I booted up, the first thing I really didn't like was the colors. It was really boring compared to my other two monitors. So I had to adjust the color settings in both the monitor and the Nvidia control panel to make the colors more vibrant. In the end, the results were better. As for 240Hz, I was a bit nervous at first because the monitor doesn't have a display port cable. Then I noticed that the monitor is set to 60Hz? So I went into the Nvidia control panel and noticed that 240Hz only applies to 1920x1080. But not "Ultra HD Native 1080p". When I switch to 240Hz the picture looked a bit. darker. But I find that a darker image shows more colors than Ultra HD. I'm not sure if a display port cable would make much of a difference or a clearer picture, but I might buy one just in case. Now to the games. This monitor is just awesome! With its small size and 240Hz frequency, playing FPS games was very comfortable, more focused and really smooth! I tested several games like Battlefield 3, 4, Battlefront 2, Titanfall 2 and Modern Warfare. And as a result, I was able to perform BETTER in all games, including Modern Warfare. Even better, it doesn't hurt my eyes as much due to the small size. I usually get tired and overwhelmed by my other two large 1440p monitors. Because of the monitor's small size, you also feel like you have more control over your aim than with larger monitors. that's a big plus for me. Even though the monitor is 1080p and my other monitors are 1440p, the image and gameplay still looks great due to the small size (compressed image). I bet if it's over 26 inches it might look worse. 24-25 inches for 1080p is the best place for me. As for the other features of this monitor, such as B. "Super Fast" for Response Time, I really didn't see or feel any difference after enabling this option during gameplay. Overall this monitor is great and I would recommend it to gamers especially for FPS. The only downsides are the faint colors, which you can change in the settings, and the lack of a displayport cable, which I don't really know if it will differ from 1080p or "Ultra HD" 1080p.
