Customers are satisfied with the picture quality, refresh rate, and graphics of the AW2720HF monitor, with many praising its performance in gaming. The ease of setup and value for the price are also frequently cited as positive aspects. While some users wish it included built-in speakers, most find the monitor's weight and lack of curvature to be minor drawbacks.
Pretty solid 240HZ Monitor for gaming at full high definition. The response time is astounding, with a constant of 1ms thanks to IPS. I haven’t noticed any screen tearing throughout reasonably constant use over the course of a few months, either. The LED backlighting is handy as I usually edit or game under lowlight area, however, the onboard controls and the according AlienFX software could be more user-friendly for ease of customization. The tilts and swivels work perfectly, although the mount which is advertised in the “features” part of the page isn’t very easy to figure out, if wallmounting should be an option for you. The only large complaint I have for this monitor is that the stand is advertised as being a “space-saver”, and it really isn’t anything of the sort. I play on a relatively small desk, and it doesn’t slide under they keyboard like stated very well

Upgrading from a 24" curved 144hz monitor and I can see the difference mostly in smoothness of motion even though I'm not touching the 240hz cap. I'm usually running in the 125-185 FPS range. I've always been concerned with going over a 25" size monitor, but when I saw this was an IPS and 240hz to boot I had to upgrade and give it a try. Certainly not disappointed with it. I sit about 27"-30" away from the screen and it isn't too big. I can see now though if I went any bigger it could be an issue, so this is my max size. Great color,clarity and very smooth. Got it at a discount for just over $ 400.00+ tax and worth every penny. $ 599.99 retail is a little steep for me. Nothing really technical in setting it up and really didn't have to adjust much. I don't use the Free sync tech. as I have an NVIDIA 2060 super card and it really doesn't need it. I have no use for the RGB lighting since my monitor backs up to a wall but cool if your into that sort of thing. Appears to be built like a tank and is pretty heavy. I compared it to my daughters Alienware 25" 240hz monitor and I'd say it is just a step up. So if your like me and have been thinking about up-sizing and/or jumping into the 240hz monitor market this is a good one and will be for some time. Put a few pictured below for no reason.
