Great monitor for gaming change how I play everything will never go back to 60hz

Great

1. This monitor is G-sync compatible but not officially fully tested by Nvidia and not have a specific driver for this. But it is G-sync compatible for me so far, works great, but not sure for every user. If you are sensitive on perfect gaming experience, I recommend you go AW2720HF which is official G-sync compatible and newer model and cheaper than AW2518H.
2. This monitor is a TN panel, not a IPS one, you can do research by Google to see the differences. TN still works great for gaming, just in case if you want IPS you can go AW2720HF.
3. This product is designed for Old Aurora, if you are sensitive on out-looking and you have an Aurora R8 you can go this monitor. If you have a New Aurora, you can go AW2720HF.
4. The price is great especially with deal. I bought it with $279.99 on Black Friday, which is a great deal no matter some cons. Just consider by your budget.

Good Product

The monitor runs amazing and the 4k res is so beautiful on select games. Probobly one of the best monitors I have ever bought.

Amazing!

I love it! The colors are vivid, resolution is outstanding. Makes my game video really pop.

Game video pops!

Works awesome, plastic on the back is kinda hard to put on but besides that no complaints

Top of the line monitor

Great monitor for a TN panel. The thin bezels make it look like the monitor is larger than it really is. Getting great frame rates. A slight back light bleed on the edges but I feel that it doesn't take away from the image. And it is to be expected with a TN panel. I probably wouldn't pay full price for this monitor but at a discount it's a pretty good deal.

Great monitor.

love the 240hz however, the words/pictures seem to be a little blurry and i cant find a way to fix it via resolution or any other way

blurry text/pictures

The monitor is not working. We got it set up and it does not work and it was a Christmas present.

Monitor does not work out of the box

Monitor works great. Got it on sale during Black Friday for $300. I would not pay 500+ for it though. I’m sure it’s worth it just too much for me. If you’re thinking of buying one, wait for a sale.

Monitor

It's as good or better than our expectations.  Like!

Alienware 25 monitor is out of this World

Had it for one month and using it for gaming (WOW, destiny 2, minecraft and work.  Great display for both.  No issues so far.

Amazing! Best monitor I've ever owned! Definitely a noticable difference for 60hz.

Wow...

Bought two of these for my daughters new computers. These things are awesome for gaming! Wide screen and huge. Sitting in front of one of these is like sitting in the middle row at the movie theater. Great monitor.

Just an awesome montior!

Use it for Pc and PS4 gaming, so far its working great!

Recommend

Had no speaker for sound and I didn’t know. Had to buy speakers.

No speaker on the Alienware Monitor

Picture is fantastic. Really happy with the monitor. Still waiting on my new computer I purchased the same day.

Great Monitor

This monitor is awesome! Just as described. Can see a whole new big picture. Set up was easy.

Alienware Gaming Monitor

When I first got this, I plugged it into my laptop via HDMI, used duplicate to compare.

Its as if all the vibrant color in the world died, and left only the depressed dead colors. Its depressing looking at this screen with its lack of color. If you wanna feel alone and depressed and forget what a rainbow looks like, get this screen.

Worse, the viewing angle is so bad, you have to adjust the screen every time you move. I have scoliosis, so I move a lot to relieve pain, and every time I do, several inches of the screen suddenly turn dark or bright.

As a result of both of these, I can not keep using this screen. I sat here for hours on in trying to fiddle with screen settings, nothing brought me vibrant color. The preview of this screen is rather fake. The images they show you online are clearly not real images, they likely just slap it into a photo editor and give you a vibrant beautiful image.

Worse off is I thought I had selected the gsync model but I didn't and without that, gaming on it was bad, it lagged more and didn't look smooth. My laptop screen and this one together shown the clear differences, making my laptop screen far superior in every single aspect.

Because it was Black Friday, I missed the fact that there were reviews due to the store page layouts and such, it simply "recommended this screen" to me.

My 5 year old laptop screen was better.

My son really liked this monitor, we were debating on getting this one or a cheaper game monitor. He is happy we spent a little bit extra on the black friday sales.

Awesome

We ordered this for use with a tester we are building.  The stand and features are some of the main reasons for our purchase.  After seeing this I need to get one of my own for home use!

Excellent for Virtual World Simulation!

If you want the best performance in competitive fast-paced games, the Dell Alienware AW2518HF is one of the best 1080p 240Hz 1ms models for the money.

Good monitor for the price, not great

Not even 2 weeks after buying this monitor I had white line all across the screen.

Terrible product

Good monitor wonderful responce time. Had to work with my Nvidia card settings to get the colors to not look washed out, but after that looks better still playing with setting to get them just right.

Good monitor

amazing monitor. i just got it but all the games look so much better. and also its Gsync comparable.Destiny 2 looks amazing.

amazing monitor

It’s really good no complaints here but I I’m curious on how the upgrade works when you want to upgrade an item

Nothing better for the price but I prefer a higher resolution, I also love the 240hz. If you have a PC capable of 240hz, I would get it.

Alienware 25 Monitor

Good product, but while running at 240 frames (which is why I wanted it the monitor blacks out for a couple of seconds every once in a while.  Makes me sad.

Yes and No

The picture quality is great and it has all the benefits of a 240 Hz monitor, but it takes up a lot of desk real estate. Had I bought another (possibly cheaper) monitor I could fit two on my desk. A great choice for a one-monitor setup, unless you definitely have enough room.
