Alienware AW2524HF Gaming Monitor - 24.5-inch (1920x1080) 500Hz (Overclock) 0.5ms Display, Height/Tilt/Swivel/Pivot Adjustability, 3yr Advanced Exchange-Black

This monitor is something I like. I don't have any equipment to measure some numbers, but I can tell that it's minimum 400 nits. HDR content looks good enough. Yes, this is not an OLED monitor, but it is significantly cheaper than OLED monitors. Color accuracy is great. But I previously stated that I do not have the necessary equipment to measure it. G-sync works great. Responding time is perfect. 180 Hz refresh is enough to produce a smooth picture. The edge-lit is not particularly good, and the local dimming is not perfect, but it's not a total disaster at all. Assembly is the simplest thing I have ever done. The menu is simple and has everything you need. 1440p resolution is the most suitable for me. The 1080 is too small, while 2160p necessitates a highly expensive video card. The reason 1440p is the best resolution is because it allows me to run games with my Rtx 4060 without affecting picture quality significantly.

This monitor is great! I bought the certified used like new version. There is not a single thing wrong with this monitor works like new and the picture quality is amazing. I am coming from an odyssey oled and this one is very comparable for it not being oled. The 280hz is a massive plus. If you’re thinking about getting it, do yourself a favor and get it! 10/10

Bought this used, but it was in excellent condition. No scratches or signs of wear (aside from the original box that looks like it's been through hell and back lol). No dead pixels or anything and it does everything I could want. Lots of customization options, easy to set up, and the screen looks great for both gaming and work tasks. The ability to run games at 1440p/280hz is amazing, it all runs so smoothly! Build quality seems excellent as well, it's built like a tank but isn't crazy heavy either. Overall, quite happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great 27" 2k monitor.

The best clear monitor with a nice smooth 240hz 27 inch display for gaming.

Great monitor! Im loving the ultrawide on games. Coming from a 1080P 27 inch this makes makes a big differance! Quality and specs are there for 1440 gaming with HDR and whatever you want to do with it. Refresh rate at 180hz is a huge plus.

I took a chance on the used, like new monitor. Turned out to be a great choice. This thing is in like new condition, but I did have to clean it up. It arrived in a beat up box and the monitor had some weird smearing all over the screen and was basically covered in dust and pet hair. I feel like Amazon could've at least cleaned it up a little bit before selling it to someone. It also didn't come with an hdmi cable, but that's ok for me as I use my own Display port cable for everything. Also they couldn't be bothered to put the monitor in the protective plastic sheathing, but instead just laid the bare monitor on top of it, boxed it up and sent it to me. Definitely could've done better with all that I just mentioned.However, I'm happy with it so far. The HDR is not good, at least I couldn't get it dialed in with the Windows HDR calibration app. I've given up trying to find a monitor in my price range that has decent HDR. When I have more to spend I'll get an OLED that has nice HDR. For now this is it for me. The regular picture is outstanding and I appreciate how it's factory calibrated. I love the high refresh rate, makes games look amazing. The RGB lighting on the back is a nice touch. It looks very nice overall. The USB ports are also appreciated and the stand is heavy duty and we'll made. For what I paid for this monitor, I'm very happy with it so far.

If you do not enable "Smart HDR" in the OSD (off by default), the monitor will be stuck at 30Hz on AMD GPUs. Once you get it working at 360Hz, you will have cursor skipping. I will update this review if AMD/Dell decide to fix this or I find a workaround. I've tried an Acer X25 360Hz that did not exhibit this issue.Other problems:- In the sleep state, the power LED pulses white instead of switching to an amber color like every other monitor (they're too cheap to add a separate amber LED)- The OSD is extremely laggy (takes roughly half a second to initially pop up, then lags between each submenu- The joystick is the only button to manipulate the monitor's settings, and you cannot go directly into the OSD, you must first press the joystick, wait for the menu to pop up, then press up to get to the actual OSD- You cannot see the monitor's refresh rate in the OSD without digging for it, on Asus monitors the refresh rate is always shown in the OSD in the "title bar"- No "deep sleep" toggle to disable deep sleep. If you've wondered why it takes so long for monitors to wake from sleep, this is why- Yes, the motion clarity isn't the best- There is slight vignetting, this was not present on my old IPS 280HzPros:- You can easily create custom resolutions (unlike goysync monitors)- Cheap

awesome monitor! very confortable display, easy to set up, and the many options to adjust height, tilt and swivel... you can't go wrong with it, so far, it's been working great,
