Great monitor! Perfect for my gaming experience!

This monitor complements my Alienware Aurora 9 PC. A few directional adjustments and I noticed a significant difference in the sharpness, resolution and detail of everything on the screen. This includes backgrounds, vegetation, clothing, buildings, characters etc. Maybe not definitive results but for the money I'm amazed at the difference from a previous high end 4k pc brand monitor.

Ghosting when working in extreme mode must also be done with freesync.

If you need a 1ms response time on this monitor, you'll get serious ghosting if you don't turn on free sync. In general, everything is fine with the monitor, you just need to know it before buying.

I really liked this monitor to buy two!

I ended up buying a second one because I liked the first one. Great for games. Extremely powerful and does not interfere with glare.

Excellent value for money and quality

I had it in my cart and found the price had gone down $70 so I pulled the trigger as the old price was still on Dell's website. I recently switched to an AMD based gaming system and needed a monitor to match. Switching from my old 17" 60/75Hz monitor was like discovering a new world! I play a first person shooter and this has made a huge difference in games like Fortnite and Warzone. Setup nailed it. The software seems to have the RGB Wanting to turn on FX backlight when monitor turns back on…

Easy setup: my review

Easy to set up, adjust color, brightness, etc. with the joystick on the monitor. Continuous. I have never had any shipping or damage issues as others have reported. I think they may have improved the quality of the packaging; the product was well packed.

The perfect monitor!

First off, this monitor is a real beast in competitive gaming, 240Hz is so smooth that it makes for a much better gaming experience. The 1080p resolution is really amazing in my opinion, the picture quality is really clean. This monitor is suitable for both movies and games. The only problem is that there are no built-in speakers in the kit. But overall this monitor is perfect and I'm happy with it.

need to buy speakers

This is the first time I've bought a monitor and I'm happy with it. Unfortunately, when I bought it, I didn't know there were no speakers; which is ultimately my fault. I'm trying to find compatible ones...no big deal. I still love it!

Great IPS panel worth the money!

No problems out of the box! Installation was easy and the monitor works great. The panel is a must, IPS is definitely the best option. This monitor is suitable for all gaming levels. This is my pick any day of the week!

240 Hz only in the display port

It's ok but I'm only writing this for those who are a little confused and bought his product assuming all ports run at 240Hz.

Still the absolute killer of high fps competitive games in 2021!

After purchasing the $100 more expensive Gigabyte Aorus 240Hz 1080p 24.5" monitor, I've always chosen Alienware. The brightness is excellent, the gray-to-grey response times are fantastic. has proven itself in various tests among other 240 Hz 1080p displays proven to be best in class. The quality of the panel is definitely up to par, and while I can't speak to its color accuracy, I know it's there with the naked eye, from what I've seen from other reviews I got mine with virtually no backlight…

Amazing product 10/10; Got it for $290!

Amazing quality for the price at the moment! I got it for $290, if it wasn't for sale I probably would have bought it anyway. $400 is worth what you get. Amazing response time, the monitor is basically a screen and has an amazing mount which sadly isn't used but when used it lights up (a bulky item I might add). This monitor is lighter than my previous one.

Very smooth in my opinion.

I previously had a 60Hz monitor so this was a big upgrade. It feels like I have motion blur because it's so smooth and the perfect size for me.

Stunning, multifunctional

This monitor is just amazing. The image quality is superb, the maximum frame rate keeps everything happening quickly and smoothly, and the build quality is second to none. This is possibly the best purchase I've made for my home office/gaming rig. Switching between devices is very easy, so you don't have to buy anything for this monitor. Totally worth $300 if you play and twice as much if you work at it too.

Nice monitor but there are some issues as listed read this

I like the smooth 240Hz gaming monitor that is so nice to play with, but I had a bit of a problem loosening one of the screws on the back to install it on the triple monitor stand, one of the screws then somehow got into it. my monitor is there as a whole, i think due to the airflow in the monitor at the back, and it fell through and i couldn't pull it out, all i heard was a rattling noise as the monitor was being moved, so i grabbed the back of the monitor . The monitor took it apart and I…

Good for $315 but with a dead pixel

A well balanced $315 monitor that I had on sale. It was out of stock at the time so I had to wait almost a month for it to finally arrive. Pros: - Good OS and controls for tweaking settings and profiling - Good pixel density so the screen is a good size - Colors like ips are excellent. Response time is excellent when set to fast and ultra-fast, but not worth the artifact halos when set to extreme. Gorgeous colors make it easy to see and has good settings for adjusting darkness to make it easier
