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

1. Open the box: Remove the white (4 total) plastic latches on both sides of the box to remove the box from the monitor.2. Packing: Thick foam supports the monitor in the box very well. Inside is a box with cables and warranty information.3. Package Contents: Power cord (AC 100-240V 50/60Hz), HDMI 2.0 cable (1pc) and USB 3.0 cable (1pc). The Displayport cable must be purchased separately if you want to connect it this way. Speakers aren't built in, so buy them if you need them. Ports…

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…

The monitor replaces a 120Hz Alienware that was 8 years old and eventually broke. This new one is always better. I have a GTX 1080 FE and when I booted Win 10 it was at 60hz and there was no way to go higher in the Nvidia control panel it just said 60hz and 50hz. Must. I had to right click on the desktop and go to the WINDOWS (not nvidia) display settings, from there select "View adapter properties" from the bottom and then click "List all modes". You will see an expanded list that is not…

I debated whether to keep the Alienware AW2518HF or the ViewSonic XG2530 and finally settled on the ViewSonic. I've also previously bought an Acer XF250Q which I was returning due to frame drop when not using G-Sync (so not running at 240Hz), bottom screen flickering and 1ms overdrive disabled when using G-Sync Sync (works with normal response time of 4 - 6ms). At the time of writing this review, the latest iteration of the 240Hz 0.5ms panels are now available from Revain, including the AOC…

You can see the quality of this monitor right out of the box. When assembling the stand; You can really tell this was made with performance in mind. At the same time, assembling the stand consisted of two simple steps, after which I was ready to test it. The stand is extremely durable and allows for an infinite number of tilt and swivel combinations with height adjustment. It took me a minute to figure out how to find my settings to enable 240Hz mode, but one day I did. I mean WOW. This monitor

I'm a Content Creator, Video Editor and I love to play games. I have a 27" Dell Ultrasharp 4K IPS panel that has served me well, especially for Photoshop. But I needed something to play with, with a smooth refresh rate and decent color accuracy. This display is also from Dell, only under the Alienware brand. To drive a 1080p 240Hz display, you must connect to your graphics card using DisplayPort 1.2 or higher. I use a GTX 1070 Ti so playing games like Overwatch and CS:GO is great. The display…

It was a much more noticeable upgrade for my 144Hz monitor than I expected. Not only is it faster, but it also has better colors and a much less "blurry" image effect at high refresh rates. This greatly improved my hit-scan accuracy in high-speed FPS games like Quake titles. However, I have an important remark. The stand is far more intrusive than any other monitor I've owned and I've had at least a dozen over the years. My mouse pad (heavy qck) has to hang off the table to get my monitor where

I've been researching monitors for several months. I have my own business and need a new second monitor for my office to pair with my MacBook Pro which I could also use for PS4 gaming. Needless to say, after looking at countless monitors, reading reviews, and arguing with myself for months, I settled on the AW2518Hf. I can't be happier. First let me tell you, if you use it as a second monitor, it works great. The picture is bright, clear, full HD, it's amazing. If you use it as a dual purpose…

First, let me say that these Alienware monitors are excellent. I already bought one of these in the NVidia G-Sync version and I really liked it. No dead pixels or other issues. It ran at 240Hz which allowed me to see 240 fps. I needed two more so I could run a triple monitor setup with the NVidea NV Surround option. Well, this is where I ran into some problems. I bought two of these AMD Free-Sync versions to pair with my G-Sync version. I thought I would save some money since they were cheaper.

Before this monitor, the frequency did not exceed 60 Hz. You can definitely see the difference between 60-240Hz as you move your mouse and scroll through websites and programs. The colors look great; However, this isn't ideal in dark scenes, especially when watching live performances. Sometimes there is pixelation in the shadows or dark areas. I've seen this a lot with Marvel's Runaways. Guys, dark scenes look better so take what you will. I say it could be the monitor since my TV does a better

I upgraded my gaming system and was still using my 10 year old monitor which worked great. When my daughter expressed interest in taking over my old setup, I needed a different monitor, so I figured it was time to upgrade. I had a new nVidia GTX2060 card so I was looking for something that would support nVidia's advanced sync capabilities and came across this monitor. I've had issues with Alienware before, but that was before Dell bought them. And even then, their performance was top-notch…

I bought several monitors for my Xbox One X before settling on the Alienware 25 inch monitor. Other than upgrading my old XB1 to the latest generation, this was the best purchase I've ever made. Gameplay is much smoother than my Samsung 24" IPS. Brighter and crisper than any other TN gaming bar I've purchased, including Asus. While I limit this monitor to 60Hz on my console, I can on mine Enjoy MacBook Pro 120Hz with great colors and crisp text. The 240Hz offering is just the icing on the cake…

I got one of these bad guys recently and the first thing that struck me was how confused I was researching the AMD FreeSync compatible version. I think I based my decision at the time on mixed reviews saying it would work with gsync with the right drivers. However the picture quality is top notch and overall it was very easy to set up, the reason for the 4/5 stars is that the stand is very uncomfortable and immo unnecessary (looks at the expense of functionality. What I mean specifically is…

I've only had this monitor for about a week but so far so good. The main issue I had was with the monitor stand and the back of the monitor as others have pointed out. 2. HDMI connector and other plugins. Also, I personally had a problem with how huge the monitor stand was. The legs are huge and stand out massively. It bothered me and my desktop. I ended up attaching the monitor to another stand myself, which wasn't easy either. Now it works fine and the real monitor works great. 244Hz is a…

I've had this monitor for almost 2 years now and can honestly say this is the best gaming monitor I've seen. The first thing I thought I might have trouble with was the monitor stand itself. The legs/legs of it bothered me at the time and I wanted a new monitor stand. When I finally got my hands on two different monitor stands, I went back to the original. I didn't like the original at first because of how scattered it was and how much space it took up. But after trying the other two, they…

This is a great monitor, I had a little problem when I connected the monitor to my computer with an HDMI cable and when I installed the drivers it couldn't see the monitor. But when I switched the HDMI cable to a Displayport cable, which I also bought, it recognized it when I reinstalled the driver. The monitor is 240Hz as promised by Alienware, it defaults to 60Hz and when I switched to 240Hz the difference was huge and you can tell if you are moving the cursor very quickly and you can see how

I bought this monitor in late February for $279, an absolute bargain! I am very impressed with the design and image quality, couldn't be happier. I've actually never owned a gaming monitor, so this is my first time experiencing a high refresh rate. Once you switch the settings from the standard connection via HDMI @ 60Hz to 240Hz there is a noticeable difference in how the cursor moves across the screen and the colors seem more vibrant once I switch to 240Hz. It's very smooth and offers a great

I play a lot of Apex Legends and this monitor is a huge upgrade over the previous Acer 120hz I used. You'll see further improvements as you move from 60Hz to 144Hz. I didn't notice such a dramatic jump to 240Hz, but the picture quality on this monitor is amazing. It looks better than my LG monitor which I spent a lot more money on. I didn't do any complex calibration with this monitor, I preset it to Game 1 and it's great. I'm sure you could do an extra calibration if you really wanted to, but…

Hello, I bought the AW2518HF monitor which I was very impressed with the quality of and the only reason I didn't buy another monitor in the same price range with 4K resolution was because this monitor is 'DEll' . When I heard this monitor was from Dell I knew they would either put the best on the table or put nothing on the table which shows Dell won't release a product unless it's perfect and your ass breaks! I've dealt with Dell for years, from buying PCs to monitors and accessories, but I've

For games this works fine. Lately I start the computer and the monitor looks fine, but then the screen freezes, then goes completely black and reverts to a different resolution. I'm not exactly sure what's going on because I connected everything correctly. Display port on the monitor to the graphics display port on the PC. It seems to want to lower fps by default. Maybe I'm not entirely sure. But it works pretty well. I feel like I need to replace the cables again.
