Alienware 25” screen

So far so good. I’ve had it a year now and still works amazing. No issues thus far. 240hz 1 ms can’t ask for anything better.

Alienware Gsync monitor

Great quality monitor worth getting when on sale. Needs a high end nvidia graphics card to take advantage of refresh rates. First one had issues with backlight bleed and customer service was great at sending me a replacement.

Alienware monitor

Would give 5 stars but I ordered a new unit and recieved it but unfortunately it was defective (1 screen LED not functioning) had to file a warranty claim and received a remanufactured unit in place of my new defective unit.

Avoid this monitor. Buy any other GSync montior

Monitor worked great for first two weeks and now after owning it for one month it has vertical while lines that run through the whole monitor. I reinstalled drivers and every trouble shoot method. Was on the phone with support for 2 hours, sent them my pictures and they replied back “we don’t see anything wrong with it and will not be replacing it”. So if you are looking for a GSync gaming monitor, look elsewhere. I have now owned mine a little over a month so can’t return it and they won’t repair or replace it.

Great Monitor Overall

Great monitor overall. Only issue is with the stand taking up too much space on my desk, but I really just need a bigger desk. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Images, graphics, and color come out sharp and vibrant. Highly recommend, especially when your dual monitor/gamer teenager is SUPER happy with product.

Everything you would want from a 240hz TN display.

There is almost nothing to complain about this monitor. Great performance and easy to access and simple controls. Big for aTN panel is the color rendering with very little adjustment needed to come almost identical to the IPS monitor it's serving side by side with. Almost matched right out of the box. If you have the GPU horsepower to hit 240hz (and I can on certain titles) it's great. Solid stand. One minor thing is the rgb can only be seen from the backside of the display. Seems rather pointless. I don't really care, it's just a bit silly. Overall though it is a very high quality TN panel.

Fantastic Monitor

I've had this for a little over a year now and I have to say I truly love it. The screen is a good size, it's picture is crisp the G-sync is lovely for gaming. The monitor itself is quite sturdy, the base is very heavy and you can easily adjust it however you see fit. I used to switch between gaming at my desk and connecting my desktop to my 4K television, and since getting this monitor I have been almost exclusively gaming at my desk. I highly recommend this product.

240hz G-Sync is Awesome But This Stand is Huge

Cons - The stand has a HUGE footprint and keeps the screen quite far from any wall that may be behind it - The plastic cable guard on the back refused to stay in on both sides so I've just stopped using it, disappointing from a premium product - Partially dead pixel that cannot show green fairly center screen, fortunately not hugely visible in most games but still visible due to low pixel density Pros - 240hz G-Sync is nice since I can run some games at around 240hz but others are too intense for my current setup and G-Sync prevents tearing

Very good but disappointed.

I bought this monitor for competitive gaming and it was an amazing investment. For $550 I would expect nothing but the best. While in reality its a cool monitor with a hyper fast refresh rate, I feel like I got a lemon, 3 Weeks in I noticed 2 dead pixels and they are in the worst spot ever, they show up in bright red and distract me, The monitor turns on to a black screen every so often and I need to restart it to show a picture, and finally the screen will sometimes glitch and mirror its opposite side, showing odd artifacts and such which again forces me to restart the monitor. In the end I would say its an amazing monitor but it came with many issues, I definitely recommend price to performance alongside its aesthetic, but internal screen quality seems to be a hit or miss, and don't get me started on viewing angles, I know its a TN panel but its not good, even when sitting still in a chair.

So many issues! Not impressed with Dell this time.

Probably the worst monitor I have ever purchased. I was excited to buy a gaming monitor, but it has been nothing but a headache(literally). The screen does this constant flickering that is hard to notice unless you look into brighter colors on the screen. It gives me a headache and is very annoying. The entire screen also shifts to the left periodically. For example it makes my start button on windows 7 off the screen. It has nothing to do with my resolution as I am using the native resolution to the monitor. I have tried everything to remedy this, and the only thing that works is shutting the monitor off and restarting it.

Good upgrade.

Good monitor. Zero issues. Wish the led lights in the back were brighter. Glad to see new monitors put more light out the back.

I LOVE THIS MONITOR!!!

I love my Alienware 25 monitor (AW2518H)! It's capable of up to 240 f.p.s. and has G-SYNC. I play my games at a solid 1080p & 240 fps, no GSYNC, and they look super amazing!

Great quality and performance.

With nvidia colors you can make this monitor image quality much much better. The 25 inch is the sweet spot for the 1080p resolution but I wouldn’t mind 23-24 inches to make it even better. So far, this monitor is one of the best for 240 hertz at 1080p.

Great Monitor

Great monitor. The Graphics on this monitor are amazing. The only thing you shoud know is to make sure you use a Displayport to hook up your monitor. If you use HDMI itll limit the Hz to 60. Cant manuelly set it any higher because thats what the monitor sets it at automatically. Went 2 weeks not knowing this until I notice that the screen settings was at 69 Hz and not 240. Other than that, no problems so far. Installations is easy.

Great Product, terrible spam

This monitor lives up to it's hype, mine came with no busted pixels and is smooth like butter. Colors are a little faded or washed and not bold due to the panel type but is easily fixed with some tinkering to the brightness and contrast settings. I can tell the difference going from 120 hz to 240 hz and it's just as big of a jump from 60 hz to 120 hz. Coming from a dell aw3418dw as my primary monitor, i'm proud to call this one my new primary.

Awesome display despite the price

By JackP123

Being a TN panel and a big fan of IPS panels in the past, I was concerned about the color reproduction. Fortunately I got to check out the monitor in person before I purchased and I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. This panel is 6bit+FRC. The blacks are reasonably good. I mostly bought this monitor for the GSYNC and high refresh rate and boy is it noticeable when paired with my GTX 1080. That's not to say you need a 1080 to get the best ROI on your monitor, I think this monitor fu...

Amazing quality and performance, worth the price~

By Paul

The build quality of this monitor is excellent. The monitor can easily be adjusted and there is no wobble at all... it is rock solid. The TN panel is not as bad as people are led to believe. This particular monitor uses a very good quality panel, and has great color reproduction and viewing angles (albeit less than IPS). However, the highlight of this monitor is the 240hz refresh rate. It makes everything a fluid experience, and when combined with gsync , it provides a totally new gaming e...
