AlienwareAW2724DM Gaming Monitor - 27" QHD (2560 x 1440) 180Hz w Overclock, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, NVIDIA G-SYNC, VESA Display - Black,Black/Silver

Excellent colors, decent contrast ratio, fast response time, and lighting low input latency.Most importantly, it's easy on the eyes! Hardware based low blue light technology allows me to work on this monitor for hours at a time without issues! Best monitor I've ever used for my eyes!4.5/5 because there is some overshoot on the fastest setting and the contrast is just decent!

VERY CLEAR, this monitor is amazing! And the viewing angles are very nice as well!

Excellent monitor. Just what I like

This is a newer model, and because of that I can’t speak for its longevity, but I am hoping with the Dell/Alienware brand behind it, that it will last a very long time.It was ultimately down to this monitor and the LG 27GP850-b. That monitor is probably the most popular gaming monitor at this price point, and it was between that, and the new AW2724dm, which this review is for.In my opinion, this new Alienware takes the crown from the LG. It was released a few months ago, and you get more for your money. Both are very similar, the two biggest differences is that this monitor has certified HDR600, whereas the LG has only HDR400, which is very lackluster, and personally I wouldn’t even consider using it while gaming. The HDR600 definitely makes things look better in all the games I play, and gets rid of IPS darkness in games like COD, which you will have without HDR activated. The HDR600 does not make games look washed out like the LG does with HDR400. For movies, HDR600 is not the best on paper, but I only use it for games, so I am not going to give an opinion on that.The one thing the LG has that this monitor does not, is BFI, which is suppose to help with motion blur. For an IPS panel, the Alienware already has near perfect motion blur, better than the LG according to most reviews. Also BFI is a feature in gaming that I find useless, because you cannot have VRR(gsync/freesync) on at the same time as BFI. VRR is essential because it will cut down input lag by half in some cases, when compared to using Vsync. In every game I’ve played, the VRR is like having Vsync completely off(way less input lag), with all of the benefits of having it on(no screen tearing).This monitor also has very accurate colors out of the box, according to every review I read. Unless you do professional work, you will not have to mess with the colors. Simply set the color profile to “colorspace”. Every other color profile is very “cool”, with a bluish tint out of the box, including the one that is set by default, so be sure to change this right away. You don’t really have to worry about this in HDR mode, all of the profiles look fine, just while in SDR.Before buying this monitor, a few reviews mentioned fuzzy text, which made me very hesitant, however with amazons return policy I went ahead with the purchase. I am glad I did, I have not seen clearer text on any other 1440p monitor. Both the black and grey uniformity are also near perfect for an IPS monitor, and no noticble IPS glow at all. Maybe I just got really lucky in the “panel lottery”, but I am beyond happy with this monitor.

This is definitely a good buy. As a console gamer, I did not know this didnt come with built in speakers though so watch out for that.

After reading all the other reviews I knew I'd have a high chance to have a dead pixel or some other defect. Unfortunately I was right and my monitor has a bad pixel.. I bought 2 of these for prime day, the other monitor seems fine.Also HDR seems borderline unusable as a graphic designer since it desaturates all colorsEdit 7/24/2024:Alienware doesn't have any customer support through Amazon so your only real option is to deal with Amazon customer support. I contacted them due to the defective monitor with a dead pixel and they told me to "just get a refund and purchase the monitor again." Which means I'll have to pay the difference of the prime day discount I received. I was able to convince them to imitate a replacement which was supposed to arrive 2 days ago after initiating the replacement 5 days ago. The date I'm supposed to get the monitor changed twice and now if I don't get it by tomorrow they'll "refund" my replacement whatever that means.I knew Alienware products were extremely risky due to the defective issues bad QA but didn't think it'd be this bad. There's a Samsung alternative to this monitor that's also cheaper for the same specs. Don't get any of these monitors unless you want to do a run around with refunds, replacements, defective products.Edit 7/31/2024:My replacement monitor never arrived and decided not to do a return as I've been seeing a lot of people having issues with the refunds. As I spend more time with these 2 monitors I've been noticing more issues, both monitors constantly flicker which can get pretty nauseating. The monitors have a very inconsistent color range too. I honestly regret getting these 2 monitors and will never purchase from Alienware again and will be the last time I purchase something expensive through Amazon.

I love this monitor, it has an excellent screen. It has a nice crisp image, I use it for my ps5 and my gaming pc.

So good that I bought two!
