    This monitor is beast.It is perfect. Easy to adjust. Crystal clear, smooth. I just barely started playing games and went from a 13" Dell laptop from 2012. This will run anything you throw at it linked up to a good graphics card of course. Fortnite isn't the greatest game to showcase this monitor, and the video doesn't do justice either. You will not be disappointed with this monitor, well worth its weight in gold. This is an excellent buy for $500. Wouldn't want to pay more than that. 240hz is a huge difference, and the predator monitors look great too but i went with this one. This monitor has several characteristics I was looking for: The G-Sync / 240hz and within the 25" max you want for a 1080p x 1920 monitor anyway, this monitor has the hallmarks of a great product that will not be dated within 4 years. If you already have a 140hz then it might not be worth upgrading. If you can swing the extra bucks it is totally worth buying.

    This Monitor is out of this world, with capability's of up to 240 fps for my computer games, was worth the investment
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018
    Arrived a day early, packaging was the actual product box which is terrible to be left on a porch, the box itself seemed to have a lot of wear and tear which had me worried at the start. Where it get's a 5 star rating is this: the monitor was perfect. No damage, no BLB, no dead pixels, and to top it off the product itself was sublime. Very easy to install, visually stunning, and graphically it was bar none. With that being said let me heed some advice for any of you perspective buyers.

    This is a highly niche monitor for those looking to get the most performance out of a GPU that can put it out. Do not buy this if you have a mid-tier graphics card that won't be capable of making the most out of those 240hz. Also, i got lucky with my delivery. The damage to the packageing was superficial so it's nothing to complain about, some packages may be mishandled, some packages might just be DoA or have dead pixels by just factory defect. That is the risk you run when you have a 3rd party seller providing you tech. Amazon does it's best to prevent these issues, but sometimes you are just unlucky. It is by no fault of the product itself. So if you see these 1-2 star ratings and get worried if this monitor is worth it, let me lay it out for you, YES* If you are a part of the the very small niche of computer owners that not only have a machine capable of using this monitor to it's full potential, but also are purchasing with the intention of using it to it's full capacity. Save yourself some money and a get 144 hz monitor that will do just fine otherwise. For those still on board with purchasing, you just gotta hope you're one of the lucky ones and it arrives in one piece. If it doesn't, you can just return it and get a new one or go to a computer store and pay full price and personally ensure it gets home safe. I hope this has been helpful.

    I bought this monitor back in November of 2017 for myself as a bday gift. This monitor has been with me just about everywhere I've gone and lived at. Every time someone comes over and tries the 240hz for the first time they're immediately blown away, I have some people scoff at it only being a 1080p monitor but that doesn't matter the second they start seeing how smooth and responsive it is they immediately want to get one.

    One day this thing just didn't turned on, come to find out that if you call Dell who is partnered with Alienware they will just full on replace the monitor for you because I believe it has life time warranty. Certain products offer this but mine died in 2020 and ever since they've sent me the new one it's been working completely fine. I cannot recommend this monitor enough, if they ever make (probably already have just haven't looked) this monitor with higher resolutions I would totally rebuy it again.

    The monitor is a pretty good deal at the $430 I purchased it for compared to the other 240HZ G-Sync compatible monitors which are usually upwards of $500.

    I would however not recommend paying the full asking price for this monitor because of a couple of quirks which I will outline below.

    The panel itself is pretty even upon first glance, but with closer inspection it is evident that it suffers from the same issues that other the other 240HZ monitors have. Because they are all using the same AUO 240HZ panels, there will be similarities.

    The issue that I found are the following:

    1. The edges of the monitor have a sort of "dirty" look where they look to be darker. This is because of a certain cloudiness that the panel has. What this means is that looking at solid white, grey, and black images reveal that the panel is not really consistent in it's lighting.

    Both panels I had suffered from this, with the replacement being considerably worse and also suffering from a bit of back-light bleed on the bottom edge. My original monitor has NO back-light bleed, but suffers from the same uneven cloudy looking panel.

    2. Setting the monitor to anything other than "normal" response times causes extreme, and very noticeable overshoot. At first I thought this was an issue because who doesn't want faster response time? It turns out that "response time" is usually synonymous with "overdrive" on these panels, and the default setting of "normal" still has the advertised 1ms GTG response time without the need of over-driving, since at 240HZ there is little to no ghosting. I suggest ignoring this setting.

    3. ULMB seems to be finnicky. The manual states that turning off G-Sync int he Nvidia control panel will allow you to turn on the ULMB setting on the monitor, but this wasn't true for both monitors I tested. Turning off the G-Sync didn't stop this setting from being grayed out, and as of now I have no idea how to turn it on, but it's not the biggest deal since the screen doesn't get overly blurry in chaotic gaming moments.

    4. Unlike most monitors this doesn't have a dedicated "Turn on G-Sync" option. This is minor, but very confusing if you're using to turning on G-Sync in the NVCP and then on your monitor. According to the Manual the monitor will be running in G-Sync as long as it's turned on in the N-Vidia control panel.

    Now for the pros.

    1. The monitor is geared towards gaming performance and it performs wonderfully. The 240HZ is definitely noticeable even when you're not gaming. Mouse smoothness is better than 144hz when doing day-to-day tasks, and if ou can push 200+FPS in games you will notice a difference. In MOBA and shooters like CS:GO that are easy to push to 300+FPS the lowered input delay and smoothness is very nice.

    2. The stand, while possibly over-designed is fantastic. It is heavy, solid, and very stable. The monitor can twist and turn without the base moving form where you planted it, and the cable routing does its job. I wish that it allowed for a bit more forward tilt but that's minor.

    The bottom line is, the panel quality is mediocre. Uneven backlighting and clouding issues, but this isn't unique to this monitor. You will have a certain degree of this with any of the AUO 240HZ Tn panels, which is all of the 24.5-25 inch monitors on the market at the moment, but that's not what you're paying for. You're paying for a solid quality monitor with a very heavy duty stand and unparalleled gaming performance.

    If you can snag this at $430 or below it is a steal. The "g-sync tax" is only about $80 over it's freesync counterpart and is worth it for times when you cant push 244fps and don't want screen tearing. considering that most 144hz g-sync monitors hover around $350-400 paying a slight bit more for some future proofing is definitely worth it. Dell's customer service and warranty has always been top notch for their monitors from my experience, with the benefit of being able to take advantage of their Alienware specific customer service.
