Perfect gaming monitor had you just left the RGB

Lets just get the disappointment out of the way. And it is the only disappointment. No RGB. Now lets be fair. RGB on a monitor is pretty useless because you never see it. But i miss seeing my little alienware head reflecting off my window at night.
Now the positives and why this is likely the best competitive IPS monitor available. Keep in mind, panel variance.
There is not ghosting or inverse ghosting on the extreme setting. Why is this important? Because dell has done with this panel what could not be done on the previous models. That being the perfectly tuning of the extreme overdrive setting for the quickest response time. I have tested multiple asus monitors and they all suck in this regard.
Also, if you are concerned that they ditched the gsync module, dont be. There is no point in having gsync with this high of a refresh rate. I can pick out screen tearing on a 165hz screen when playing uncapped. I cannot do that with 240-360hz. Just play uncapped if you are buying this monitor.
And lastly, and most importantly, the price. $319 for black friday. That is insane for a 360hz monitor that performs this well.
Side note for those who are used to 1440p. Its not the pixel density (less than 20 ppi) thats really the issue here, its the screen size. If you are used to a 27" screen and have never played on 24-25" then you may not like it. But this monitor is solely for competitive use. Its not a jack of all trades 1440p 240hz monitor. It is for sweaty @** FPS players who want to do just that, Sweat... and Win.
* This monitor is using a different auoptronics panel than the previous aw2521hf and aw2521h models.

First Alienware Monitor (not a fake review)

I was skeptical of buying this monitor. After watching some youtube videos, this monitor was losing the race against its rival BenQ Esports monitor. Im a very picky person when it comes to monitors, and let me say this monitor is the best one ive had yet. I come from the family of LG. Had an older 1080p 240hz monitor from them. This one has solid color accuracy, and you can make your games look super vibrant. The game play is super smooth with the extreme response time setting on. If theres 2 disadvantages to this monitor, id say the matte finish, and theres a small bit of natural motion blur. Other than that, awesome monitor. I hope this helps someone who is as picky as I. Thanks guys, enjoy this!

Purchased it for my son. So far he loves it. No issues, but it is still fairly new. He loves the quality and the speed.

Great motion clarity, colors, easy plug and play, best investment of $280 ever especially for gaming whether it's competitive or not. Can't do much better for the price point unless you want higher resolution.

Insanely Smooth — Perfect for Competitive Gaming

This monitor is a beast. The 360Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time make gameplay unbelievably smooth — perfect for FPS and competitive games. Colors look great for an IPS panel, and motion clarity is top-tier. The stand is sturdy and fully adjustable, and setup was plug-and-play. If you want a fast, reliable, and buttery-smooth display, this one delivers.

I purchased the AW2523HF. It is a 24.5” 360hz 1080p monitor. The speed of the refresh rate is immediately noticeable, even without gaming.
The clarity of text and images is superb. Motion is extraordinarily smooth. The colors are accurate and vibrant.
The On Screen Display is very easy to use, with the toggle at the bottom being very convenient.
I got it on sale for $299.99, which is a good deal.
Highly recommended!

This monitor is 100% worth the price for gaming. It looks great, fast response time, there's a night vision mode for dark areas. I have gotten better playing at 360hz compared to 144.

Alienware for the Win, I think?

So I have had multiple monitors because I have been looking for the perfect balance between frames per second (FPS) and resolution. I think I may have found one but I have mixed feelings. This thing is smooth, like buttery smooth and it's sleek. When I hooked it up to my gaming PC I can have a smoother game play but I am limited to 1080p. I'm looking for 4k gaming with at least 240hz refresh rate. Again this is an amazing monitor if you want 1080p but that is it's only limiting factor.

Really good price and consistent as well. I recommend this if you have a strong PC, otherwise it will be difficult to make quality use of the 360hz.

this is a great monitor for compeitive gaming. this panel has minimal ghosting, which is something my previous 240hz aw2521hf struggled with. This combied with the 360hz capabilities allows for an extremely smooth gaming experience.

This monitor is one of the better 360 hz ips panels. Not much ghosting and have great responsiveness. Reminds me of the BenQ zowies. Only thing I wish it had was better calibration settings like, contrast, saturation, etc…. They do have these setting but could be better fine tuned

Great monitor for the money if you are a frame junky for FPS games. It will not give you any form of deep inky blacks. The screen bleeds quite a bit. But if you are looking for all out response time. This is a good value. Had to play quite a bit with HDR to get it to a tolerable level.....but I am an OLED gamer....soooo take that with a grain of salt.

Switched from the 240hz Alienware to 360hz and I am amazed as expected from the smoothness but most importantly better motion handling and reduced input lag. Crazy deal for the price when it drops.

I really love the color that this displays for myself ps5. I got this here at bestbuy while it was on sale and while on the smaller side, its probably much better than my curved tv and another monitor i had previous.

Super fast monitor! Love the ips panels, they akways looks so great. Really cant tell a quality difference from my dell 27" 1440p ips. It looks just as good as that but its so much faster at 360hz
