Alienware AW2523HF 360Hz Gaming Monitor Review

[@routinegaming9083]

You answered every single question I had regarding this monitor. Easily the best tech review I’ve watched for ANYTHING. Thanks for the help!

[@stewyxd]

Just bought this monitor so hoping it performs well, I have a 3080ti and want this as a 2nd monitor for fps games. Also appreciate the quality of information you provide and your production quality is great too. Keep it up!

[@_Juizyy_]

how is the monitor performing after 7 months? what about ghosting and colors? considering this as my new monitor since i only play fps games

[@stewyxd]

@_Juizyy_ It's been great so far, ghosting is a little there if you put it on extreme response, but only on something that's white. Colours look pretty great for an ips panel no issue there for fps games at least. If you're buying it only for fps games go for it, looks good on other games too but colours aren't as good as my other monitor though that is a 1440p va panel

[@_Juizyy_]

@@stewyxd thx for the reply, ive been deciding between this monitor and acer 390 hz, but the acer isnt available rn in my country. i feel like this monitor can give a good expirience

[@stewyxd]

@@_Juizyy_ it definitely will give a good experience. There's q higher refresh version now too

Thank you for this review. With Amazon having 25% off most pc items, I figured it was time for a new monitor. Got mine for $225!

Thank you so much. I loved your review and provided all the detail I was looking for.

What is the difference between regular alienware and eSports?

[@nashwalker7]

I noticed no ghosting or overshoot on this monitor. And do not see any IPs glow either. Kinda crazy

[@artemdebil]

what is the difference between Dell AW2521H and Dell AW2523HF monitor

[@MyXrayz]

Same question, please help ❤

[@clawson32104]

@@MyXrayzThe AW2521 is the previous/older 240hz version. The AW2523 is newer and 360hz. It also has a smaller stand than the previous model which is something I prefer

[@Creationseed9]

​@@clawson32104 you are wrong... it has 360 also.

[@r_e_xcsgo]

its mainly about gsync, the older verison has it the newer does not, and also 21h has differently powered usb ports than the newer model

@@liedlol very for $300, get the 27 inch one though if cheaper. 3ms response time unless you want 1ms and blur* * by blur i mean some kind of light ghosting

[@PBagarrao]

Excellent video. But I have a question does this alienware aw2523hf do coil whine?? I've seen reports that it happens a lot on this monitor

[@Jtris]

For those who are considering buying this monitor read this, The picture quality is amazing and also build quality 10/10 feels very high end. But, when actually gaming on it there is some motion blur so that’s one thing to note. I will continue using it but most likely return it. Would’ve been perfect if there was some type of motion blur reduction setting ): Update: I kept it, I reduced the blur by messing with nvidia game filters and it has been good now.

[@futureitpro3511]

thankyou for providing your experience. As of now it is $299 on Amazon and I thought it would be a great buy , but after reading this I do not want this monitor. Again Thankyou

[@JPeeSki1]

Can’t you just turn motion blur off on the game you play or

[@Jtris]

@@JPeeSki1 I did, had to use nvidia filters

[@triixzz2747]

[@MilennialGeo]

mine keeps randomly blacking out and coming back during use, I have changed the display cable, do I need to firmware update? Audio still comes through..

[@alexdefoc6919]

Its from the cable. Check it its bending. The port cable part. Replace the cable. I had that.

[@Berkelll]

I have a question. I'm not that daily esport competetive player, but i would like to have fast screen and still have good quality of colors and overall panel. Something more universal, but still not feeling like i play slow monitor on fps games while having high hertz such as 180hz for example. Does this monitor gonna be good for such as 60-100+ fps gaming for some single players games while i wanna chill. Then for something like watching stream or browsing stuff sometimes. Then when i will have a mood then play games like Apex,Warzone,CS and etc? My main game is most likely PoE, but i'm variety player. Or it will be better to get some cheaper 180hz options. I also wonder what is a diference between 23.8 and 24.5" panels. Is that noticable? I wanna buy probably my last 1080p monitor before i will get on 1440p, but for this i will need better graphic card in the future. This monitor in my country has pretty reasonable price of 380$, but it's still over 2 times than those 180hz options.

[@icarodlima]

I have the same questions. Some people say that there is a tradeoff between frequency and image quality. I am happy with 1080p and 144hz. I wonder if going for a 360hz and locking at 144hz means I will be trading quality for nothing.

[@Berkelll]

@icarodlima It all depend on the monitor and not exactly on heartz. More of what type of screen they do and how they adjust it. Some monitors are done strictly for gaming so they cut the quality for speed. That's why OLED monitors are the best because they have every good aspect covered, but they are super expensive.

HELPPPPP, 270 is 27 inch on full hd. it will look very bad. 240 to 360 it is a difference, but only if you are a very good player, (Master, Pred, Lvl 10 faceit) streamer, pro, you can take advantage. also TN 360 is faster.

really ? dude even on a 240hz fast ips that looks with way less ghosting im sorry but i dont believe you the motion looks way better but if the video doesn't let me see the difference maybe uploading the videos at 60fps maybe makes a difference
