My last monitor I purchased was in 2007, and when I rebuilt my system I bought all new to include this monitor.
At first I bout a 27 inch monitor from a walk in store, because it was the only one the store had. I never thought there would be a shortage of monitors. Then after I bought it, realized it was notGysnc since I have an NVidia card. The 27 inch was way to big anyway. Way to big to use for desktop gaming. It was 4k and actually really nice though.
I returned it and spent a few days scouring reviews, what kind, what size, and it was an endless task.
I play pc games, and as one site mentioned anything bigger than 25 inches was too much to play desk top gaming. I don't do xbox.
They were right, and although this measures actually 24.5 roughly, call it a 25 inch monitor. I am so glad I didn't buy anything bigger. Your field of view can't cover it all.
Color is great, solid, and no need for me to adjust it. A very solid base, nothing flimsy about and I love that I can turn off the back lights, that everything seems to have, mice, modems, keyboards, and now monitors. Enough with all that. The box and packing was unlike anything I had every seen, a quality job, and very nicely done.
The only thing I jibber about is the cost. A bit high, but if it lasts me as long as my 20x20 square NEC monitor did, it is money well spent. I am not into labels or names, but I appreciate that Alienware didn't go all kid like on displaying it. It's a good display without marketing for young kids, but shows it in a classy way.
Cables hide well with a built in organizer and the adjustment of raising and lowering is nice too. I think it is very solid, the exact size for desktop gaming and colors have been very nice and clear. I am glad I bought this. I am surprised how hard 24-25 monitors are to find. This came with appropriate cables too, unlike some vendors, you have to go buy the optional cables. Packing is some of the best I have ever seen.
I wanted to give this 4 stars, taking one off for price, but considering I really like this, cost wasn't so much a factor to take a star off, unless someone can tell me there is a generic version of this for much less money.
