Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this monitor on sale for $329. Best deal I could at the moment! Only downside about this monitor is the stand; it takes a lot of desktop space, cool looking, but huge.

This monitor was amazing it was practically plug and play. The only down fall was the little cover on the back that I had trouble putting it on, just a little fitment issue other than that it’s amazing

DISCLAIMER: This review is very similar to my own review on the AW2518HF. There are only a few differences, one of which is major, and these are covered here. Also, this monitor works best with an NVIDIA graphics card. This will allow you to get the most out of it, including the G-SYNC feature. It doesn't get much better than this gaming monitor by Dell. Built into this 25-inch 1080p monitor is plenty of versatility and vividity. The monitor comes in a large box, most of which contains a structured firm cushioning foam that protects the monitor on all sides. I was rather impressed when I saw this, as I've never seen a sensitive product with such magnificent packaging--not even my much more expensive TV. The AW2518 is beautiful. It's super stylish, and the slim bezels allow the monitor to showcase almost nothing but gorgeous gameplay. There are also AlienFX RGB lights on the back of the monitor, and they can be customized through the monitor settings. That said, if the monitor is going to sit against a wall, the lights are largely unnecessary and it can become a distraction, so it's better then to have them off. It's packaged with an DisplayPort cable, and includes one DisplayPort and one HDMI port. Because the ports are on the underside of the monitor, it's better if you aren't frequently connecting different devices, as it can be a tedious and frustrating task. Along with the HDMI ports, you get one USB upstream and three USB downstream ports, two of which are 3.0, and another that features power charging, perfect for your phone. When connected to your PC, the upstream port powers the other ports, which can all be utilized by any other devices you might have, such as a keyboard and mouse This gives you everything you need right in front of you without any more background wiring mess between the monitor and the PC. Be sure to save the ports for anything but a headset (unless it's USB-only), because the monitor is equipped with its own 3.5mm headphone jack. This also frees up the mess of connections to the PC itself. And if you use speakers, there's a line-out port for you, too. Next up, the adjustability. I was impressed with this monitor's range of movements. It can pivot up to 90 degrees, and tilt and swivel up to 20 degrees left or right, 25 degrees up, and 5 degrees down. The height is also adjustable by nearly six inches, so you don't have to do so much tilting. Whatever your viewing angle and preference, this monitor will achieve it. Now onto refresh rate and response time. The AW2518 packs an incredible 240Hz refresh rate. Add in Ultra Low Motion Blur, and your game or desktop is looking even nicer. It's a bit overkill, and isn't necessary for your average gamer, but if you can utilize it, then do it. However, it could also mean that this monitor could last you for a long time as newer games demand more and more power. While on the subject of refresh rate, this monitor is equipped with G-SYNC. If you've never been able to experience adaptive refresh rate technology before, this is a great monitor to do that. You don't get any screen-tearing with this feature, and this may possibly be the best thing about this already powerful monitor—it just makes it more powerful. With the high refresh rate mentioned earlier comes a really fast response time of 1 ms, which is especially significant in twitch shooters. Again: perhaps it's not important for your average gamer, but it should be common knowledge that Alienware products aren't tailored to them. The 3D feature is something I was unable to try at the time of this writing. I'm sure it's as standard as any other 3D display, but don't quote me on that. One major downside to this monitor is its high asking price. These are features that are going to be around for a while, making the monitor last a long time, and so it may be worthwhile to some. The 1080p resolution is solid, and for a 25-inch display, it's hard to argue any reason for there to be 4K. As other components of PC gaming become stronger and better, the 240Hz refresh rate will last. The response time is as good as it gets. Its DisplayPort gives you access to daisy-chaining if you use multiple displays or later upgrade to more than one monitor. In short, the technology packed into this monitor is far from obsolete, and if you're serious about gaming, this is one of the best monitors you can get currently get your hands on.

I purchased the Alienware Gaming Desktop, and thought I could get by with my old monitor. It did not do the new computer justice, so I bought this monitor, and am totally satisfied.

This monitor is good but when my son was playing he wasn’t listing to me and he spent 24 hours playing but the monitor has good graphics and runs smooth and on fortnite no glitching

240 fps monitor is perfect for gaming. Alot smoother than 144 hz. Build is awesome. Best 400 I ever Spend. 599 is little too much if you don;t require it. but less than 400 is a good bargain.

The alienware 240hz gaming monitor delivers high level performance needed for pro level gaming. This monitor has helped me to drastically improve my online gaming performance!

This monitor will blow your head away. must have if you game a lot. looks so sick. don't pay attention to the 'okay' reviews. it was either Alienware/Predator. Happy I got this!

I got it open box & it works amazing and looks brand new. I will say as a caution to make sure you are around when it gets delivered because the box blatantly shows pictures of the monitor.

My son is very happy with this purchase. He has been longing a gaming monitor for some time, and this one hit the spot.

The picture quality is very good, great resolution, picture is crystal clear. Has multiple input capabilities. It allows you to rotate monitor and adjust the height

Everything is great about this monitor for gaming. Color is acceptable and can didn’t need much tweaking. Only negative is it takes up a lot of desk space with its aircraft-winged-legs.

I hope you’re not vegan, because this monitor is butter smooth. I love this monitor. I upgraded from a 1080p 60hz monitor and definitely am amazed by the quality of this monitor.

Amazing 240Hz monitor. Easy to hit 200+ frames with a decent car depending on the game. Gamma is set to new BT.1886 (new format) instead on 2.2, so colors are great out-the-box.

Don’t know why my son bought another screen... I just received an email that I need to review so I review but I don’t really know if this is good.... I’m just here for the points

Bought this for my wife to use in her office with this Corona Virus. It is better than I needed for sure. Graphics are awesome. Game time now as well!

From all the research I did, this was supposed to be one of the better monitors you can get for gaming. My son wanted this for Xmas and has been very happy with it so far.

My son absolutely loved receiving this last year For Christmas! Beautiful design and easy to use. I only wish it had built in speakers.

so I thought these expensive gaming monitors were over rated boy was I wrong I now feel like I am a split second ahead of everyone when I get into a gun fight

This monitor is great for gamers. It is very clear and shows a depth unlike previous monitors we have had. The response rate is quick allowing gamers to make quick moves.
