Review on ALIENWARE AW2521HF 24.5" Gaming Monitor - Pivot and Height Adjustment - Ultimate Gaming Experience with Alienware 25 AW2521HF Gaming Monitor by Deshaun Parham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Say what you will about Alienware, though.

I bought this monitor to use with my Xbox Series X. Now I don't want to hear about "console games on a monitor" blah blah blah. My Xbox is a Call of Duty machine and I still play most of my PS5 games on a 4K TV. NOW! Aside from that, this monitor supports FreeSync, 1080/120 (higher refresh rate than these but all I care about is 120Hz) and is perfect for me to get competitive in a good COD or BF match. It has many settings and the picture is clear and sharp. My only issue is that in my master bedroom I sit next to the large sliding glass door and the natural light is terrible. Playing with brightness/contrast settings doesn't help. I will not tap the monitor. Just don't understand it when the light falls directly on it, that's all. Ouch! It also has a cool Alien FX backlight with lots of rear LED color options that illuminate the wall pretty well at night in the dark. All in all, this is a very good budget gaming monitor. HDMI, DisplayPort and USB cables as well as good I/O support are included.

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • Overheating: If the monitor is not properly ventilated, it can overheat and cause performance issues.
