Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor AW2523HF 24.5″ IPS LED FHD – 360Hz – AMD FreeSync – VESA – Monitor (USB, HDMI) Height/Tilt/Swivel/Pivot Adjustability – Dark side of the Moon

Fantastic Product w/ Downsides
I purchased this monitor a year ago after extensive research. I was looking explicitly for a monitor that had an IPS panel, a fast response rate, a high refresh rate, was QHD, and offered a great warranty.The Alienware offers all of these, at a great price.I’ll list the pros and cons that I’ve experienced over the year of owning this product.Pros:- IPS w/ 98% SDR/HDR color calibration out of the box- High SDR Brightness- 280hz Refresh Rate- 0.5ms Response Rate w/ overdrive- QHD (2560×1440)- Build quality is top tier- Zero ghosting- No flicker- Freesync Pro works with AMD/Nvidia cards- 3 year warranty out of the box from AlienwareCons:- Backlight Bleed is noticeable on black wallpapers or in very dark scenes, probably one of the worst I’ve seen. This is common with this unit if you search it. For me, it’s not a massive issue because I only use it for bright FPS titles. I have an ultrawide OLED for other games.- Alienware UI is lacking compared to competitors. The UI feels like there’s a lot, but there’s actually not. This is especially true if you try HDR mode, where the panel will lock the color, and brightness settings. Why this is makes no sense to me.- No HDMI 2.1. This doesn’t really matter since it’s not a 4k monitor, but I would assume it would have one since the monitor was released after the currentgen consoles. At the price, it surprised me. I use DP 1.4 either way, so it wasn’t an issue for me.- No speakers. This personally doesn’t affect me as I use either headphones or a surround system. However, it technically is a con.- Mediocre HDR performance. The HDR performance is mediocre at best. The gray uniformity isn’t the greatest because the backlight bleed, which takes away from the highs and lows HDR tries to accomplish. The HDR brightness is also technically below standard. I would recommend SDR, which looks very good anyway.- Semigloss screen coating. The coating appears more matte than semigloss to me, but it’s not bad per say. It’s still good enough to not wash out the colors like some matte coatings, but I definitely feel like calling this semigloss isn’t accurate. I would rather call it lightly matte.Conclusion:- This monitor excels at being a top tier choice at competitive fast moving games like CoD, CS2, Overwatch, Etc. However, it does not excel at games that would be better played on an OLED or MiniLED panel. I own this monitor strictly for FPS titles, and have the OLED AW3423DWF for other games. My use for this monitor is fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who plays fast paced competitive games and can push the frames to utilize the refresh rate.

Excellent Monitor!
Bought this used, but it was in excellent condition. No scratches or signs of wear (aside from the original box that looks like it’s been through hell and back lol). No dead pixels or anything and it does everything I could want. Lots of customization options, easy to set up, and the screen looks great for both gaming and work tasks. The ability to run games at 1440p/280hz is amazing, it all runs so smoothly! Build quality seems excellent as well, it’s built like a tank but isn’t crazy heavy either. Overall, quite happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great 27″ 2k monitor.

Runs beautifully and you are getting the best for the price
I love this product it’s helped me optimize my pc for the best quality for my game and for my other outputs to render to the monitor is almost instantly👍 I hardly have fps drops and it runs a stable 360hz or even more! It was easy to set up the hdmi ports had a great display on screen it was very bright at full capacity and it’s the best value for the holiday for sure!
