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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Quality Monitor, Decent Price

-Bought during the holidays when Dell was having a sale. The box they ship this in is huge, with a massive amount of protection for shipping, along with all necessary standard accessories (HDMI, USB connector for on-monitor ports, power cord). -The monitor itself is heavy, wasn't use to that as I had always bought lower cost monitors. -The monitor can be adjusted vertically, swivels to the left and right, and tilts backwards and forwards. Has speaker out port on the monitor as well. -Purc...
