Nice review! I recently bought an Alienware AW2521H and it's very good. I'm a casual gamer and also use it for multimedia and photo editing. I bought it from Dell direct for $480 USD. Before that I was using the very popular Asus VG248QE for many years.

@@TotallydubbedHD Well I bought the monitor for occasional gaming, its aesthetics, and general use such as internet and photo editing. Well I don't really care about 360Hz I just wanted to have a good IPS monitor. And from reading about it from RTINGS and other websites, I thought it would be a good do it all monitor. Buying a 27" monitor like yours is out of the question because I don't really have the space for that size. And after using a TN panel for many years I wanted to try an IPS.

Do you use g sync on yours?I have hard time having g sync on. Strangely I notice much more inputlag having it on versus having it off.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I always disable G-Sync generally speaking, as I prefer uncapped frames. I have read in the past where even with G-Sync it is adding a very slight amount of input lag; not sure if it's placebo now, but I always disable it as a result. If you notice it a lot, might it be that you're enabling V-Sync instead (that adds a ton of input lag!)

[@PvtRinzler]

@@TotallydubbedHD Nope I tried couple diff settings that battle nonsense put out on his channel and all feel shit. Worse part is if I enable it for some games it’s stuck even when I disable it. Only thing that fix it after is too reinstall the drivers. So I don’t use it at all, it’s shame when you pay so much for the functionality that doesn’t work for some ppl.

From memory you can, but I wouldn't suggest doing that, rather, lower your graphics settings in game. If you think you'll struggle to output 1440p, then either look to upgrade your GPU or buy a 1080p monitor.

Hello Really nice review, i saw some of your reviews, i was in doubt on this one, the g7 and the aorus fi27q-x. personally, this was always my favorite, but i thought it didn't support freesync. Im a noob when it comes to specs, so please tell me what would be your pick if you were in my situation. I have an 6900xt and an i9 10900k and im looking for a 1440p 240hz 1ms. I do play a lot of fps, specially warzone, i do give preference for performance, but i also like to get the best overall quality possible. Would AW2721d be your pick or would you go for another monitor? The only thing i need to use to have the freesync compatibility is the display port? or should i get the 2721dgf? Thank you

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Glad you liked the review; indeed this would be my pick if you don't need to play on consoles, you're a hardcore gamer, and can run 1440p at 240hz consistently - you'll have to look up your GPU performance to see if it's suitable.

Would definitely still recommend this if you're in the market for a 240hz 1440p. For me it's between this and the Samsung, and that's for you to decide which to pick based on the pros/cons of each :)

[@StarmanDX]

i dont think you can reach 240fps on consoles so IMO this would be kinda wasted, as you can easily get 144hz 1440p IPS monitors for much cheaper

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@StarmanDX well said, missed the console part!

[@Senfflosse]

Would you also say this is the best CSGO Monitor for competitive gaming? Can't decide between this and G7 (never tried curved on CSGO though, any personal opinions on this?), but maybe there is not even a need to pay that much if a cheaper 1440p 240hz is having better/similar input lag, response time and colours. Money is not important but I also don't want to waste money for no benefits.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

My personal input on curved monitors is that I prefer flat; thus what was mentioned in this review/the G7s one too. As for best comp monitor - arguably, if you want 1440p and 240hz.

Hello. Im currently on an LG 27GN750-B but I’m having trouble with visibility in game in different FPS that I play. I just started looking into this monitor but was planning originally on settling for the Samsung g7 for the extra size. Both are an upgrade for resolution which I assume will also help. Only things that kinda put me off with the g7 is the LED display and the curved screen. If you were buying one of these 2 monitors solely for the purpose of increasing visibility I game which would you suggest? The video was great btw.

The last Alienware monitor I purchased needed 98% contrast due to everything being dull. Brightness appears to be misleading as this refers to the equivalent of someone shining a torch in your face rather than a bright image. Has anything changed, or is the 1440p the same? Also, the ghosting is MASSIVELY obvious I'm pretty confident nobody uses this.

Surely you must have not watched the video?! There were many comparisons in this video of the two - you'll need to make the decision.

@@TotallydubbedHD yea I've watched it like three times haha. I'm just a worrier and are in the market for a 1440p 240hz monitor so I was just wanting to make the right decision. I'm a competitive warzone player and a few top players have this monitor but then I've seen a few reviews saying the G7 has slightly lower input lag and was wondering if you thought this was viable or if you would still get the alien ware.

[@jasonyau5666]

Hi, I am using the AW2521HF (u reviewed it 4 months ago, looks similar as this AW27 model) now, everything is great but it is lack of HDR support :( . So I am looking for a HDR monitor to play 3A titles like 2077, do you think the HDR function will make a great difference for playing these HDR enabled games? If so is it worth to buy a new monitor just for the HDR function? My budget is £500-600 max so I am wondering should I get this one or the Samsung G7, or if you have any suggestions please tell me thanks :D

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I wasn't impressed with that model, was actually pretty poor when it comes to comp gaming - but this panel is a different beast. If you have the ability to enable HDR (in certain games like Destiny 2 for example), HDR600 will definitely make a positive impact. However, HDR400 or 'HDR certified' is utterly useless, thankfully this AW and the G7 aren't gimmicking HDR, they actually provide a great HDR experience given their HDR600 capabilities. I wouldn't buy it JUST for its HDR functionalities (although it will be a step up), the thing however I would buy either the G7 or AW is for their gaming capabilities, and put simply they put your AW monitor to complete shame. I'd suggest one or the other - check both my reviews to get a good feel as to what's best for you :)

[@PvtRinzler]

HDR on this monitor is shit tbh. There is so much clouding in dark parts in games that it’s horrible.

So this over the G7? What about AMD Freesync? How do you use freesync with this monitor?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Up to you to make the decision, if you watched the video. As for FreeSync, I've also referenced it.

[@intheblim]

i am having a hard time finding a monitor i only play a few games but when i turn off freesync the graphics shudder - is this because im using a rx 580 card and my question is if i get a 3070ti will it be possible to play games without freesync or gsync ?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Shudder or tearing? RX580 should be fine, namely with AMD FreeSync. If it's shuddering, it might be worth asking on forums - but that would suggest there's a rendering problem (thus a faulty card/cable). Hard to say.

[@yunastreamer606]

Does Alienware 34 inches support picture by picture too?

[@JohnSmith-cz3us]

Hey totally dubbed. Thanks for this review. I just purchased a 34” ultrawide s3422dwg. It’s a budget monitor but I’m primarily using it work for productivity. It’s classified as a budget gaming monitor with 144hz but 5ms as highest extreme settings makes it unusable. I really only play csgo for gaming. How much of a difference will there be between those specs and this which is 240hz 1-2ms? Reason I ask is because I’m considering adding another 27” in vertical mode for more productivity. And in my spare time I can make that the main gaming monitor.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I really wouldn't rely on marketing figures; and as I've not tried your Dell, I can't tell you if it'll be better or worse in terms of response time or input lag. But what I can say, as per my video, is that this AW is one of the best around.

[@DelixK91]

Im stuck between choosing this or samsung g7 32 inch

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I'd personally choose this

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

10:06 'because of g-sync module it has fantastically low input lag' - what? Turn the module off, you'll have even lower input lag.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Look it up. The comment isn't about having G-Sync on, rather, it's about having the module built in, which aids having lower input lag.

[@reddemondrag]

I was curious, what is the point of gsync at 240hz if you can only run ~100fps on max setting on some games. does gsync even work at that fps?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Good question, asked Adam from PC Monitors to be sure; but yes, even at 100fps, thus under the max refresh rate of this monitor (240Hz), you'll still see the benefits of G-Sync (due to good VRR range - thanks to the built-in Nvidia module). You'll still get tearing to some degree (just less so) on lower fps/hz (ie 100fps). In some games, it'll be noticeable, while in others, like CSGO, it'll be indistinguishable, at least imo. Hope that answers the question?

Hi, i bought AW2721D 2 months ago. After about a hour I noticed that color temperature on AW2721D a little bit change. Right after turning on, the white color is greyish (warm), but after a hour white screen is cool and colors become more saturated. It seems to me to, that screen brightness is a little bit higher after hour. I use factory preset mode Sport/Variable backlight Mode - 0. It is normal or something is wrong with my AW2721D?
