Review on Alienware Monitor Certified Mounting Support 24.5", 1920X1080P, Tilt Adjustment, Anti-Glare Coating, Height Adjustment, ‎AW2521H, HD by Ken Wiechman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Delivers premium, effortless performance where you need it

Got this monitor for $379 when it was 39% off which was pretty expensive. Coming from a 2012 TN 144Hz DVI-D based display, this upgrade was more than I could have imagined. Even in the most extreme overdrive conditions, there is no noticeable ghosting or motion blur, even at lower refresh rates. Pros: + Good out-of-the-box color reproduction + 10-bit color profiles + Comes with decent patch cords + High refresh rate with impeccable motion sharpness + Built-in G-Sync engine doesn't cause frame tearing even at the lowest settings frame rate + Has BFI (Insert Black Frame ) with great scope, but at the expense of half the brightness of the monitor and only operates at a frequency of 240 Hz. Cons: - The monitor's OSD menu is very unintuitive, some options feel redundant and some settings stick when turning on and off Failing to turn it off - The stand is very tall and won't fit on some small tables - Using the onboard Nvidia Reflex Latency Analyzer can sometimes put the monitor in a boot loop - The HDR 400 implementation makes everything blurry - despite having two USB ports there is no KVM switch for each input like other gigabyte gaming monitors.

Pros
  • So it's a little slow to start, but okay
Cons
  • I bought this screen in October and it accidentally died today. Not worth a dime
