This monitor is amazing! The colors pop and the blacks are perfect. Using the HDR settings they have set for the monitor is the best setting. I originally had a 1080p 240hz monitor on my 3060rtx card and I am getting the same FPS with this monitor at 1440p. All my games from BF6 to using my Nintendo Switch 2 I notice zero negatives. The price is on point for what you are getting, and 280fps is plenty! Really glad I got this monitor and happy as can be with this upgrade!

Although mine came with minor scratches, you can hardly see the damage when in use. The oled is really amazing on games like Expedition 33 or when you’re streaming movies.

I got this monitor to replace my 10 year old 25" Dell UltraSharp monitor. I primarily do content creation (video and photo editing), home business and finance, and moderate gaming. This monitor pairs perfectly with my Dell EBT2250 desktop which has a dedicated GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card. I have been using this for 4 days now and I absolutely love it. This monitor looks and feels more advanced/premium than my Dell UltraSharp monitor. In addition, the specs on this model are outstanding and the performance is a definite improvement over my old monitor. Physical Aspects: This monitor was packaged well and it includes everything you need to connect it to your PC. It included a HDMI cable, a DisplayPort cable, and a USB Hub cable as well as the power cable and a dust cloth. Putting it together is very simple and pretty much the same as most other monitors. You just screw on the base to the stand and snap the base into the back of the monitor. Also, I was quite surprised by the base. It is 2" inches smaller than my old monitor at only 9.5" inches. But, it is heavier and seems to be more stable. Like most other monitors of this size/quality, there is a cable management hole to keep the cables out of the way. I also appreciate that it is a USB hub for (1) USB-A and (1) USB-C downstream ports. Connections to the monitor are via (2) HDMI ports or (1) DisplayPort connections. The on-screen setup is through a joystick placed conveniently in the middle underneath the front of the monitor. It is easy to enter and adjust the display settings. Lastly, it has a cool blue-green LED glow in the back that hilariously scares my cat. Technical Specifications and Performance: The QD-OLED is provides sharp, rich colors while still providing subtle gradient shadows. The overall display is bright from corner to corner. It displays 99.3% of the color gamut, which works very well for the photos and videos that I take and edit. Having the QHD resolution, like my old monitor, is sufficient for my needs, while still being cost effective. But, I feel this monitor really excels with its 280Hz refresh rate, low 0.03ms refresh rate and synchronization for both AMD and NVIDIA. Summary: I first used this to produce a video from drone footage that I took this Fall. I was able to see to whole picture much clearer and synchronize the video and audio much easier. The video showed absolutely no lag, stuttering or tearing. It was all just smooth flow from scene to scene. I also watched a movie on DVD and it looked better than TV quality. My gaming trials were no different. In addition, my kids want to play their games on my desktop now (can we say password now). Setup was super simple. As soon as I turned on my PC it entered the on-screen setup options, then I ran Windows Update and it installed the drivers, and it prompted me to download the Alienware Command Center Software. Overall, this is a beautiful monitor and it exceeds my expectations and needs. Having the extra real estate space is really nice too. I feel the price of $549.99 is an excellent value and I would highly recommend this monitor.
