The Alienware panel can peak at around 250Hz when used with an HDMI cable which is perfect for console gamers, and there’s even a games console mode you can turn on in the menu too. The brightness change from 0 to 255 was measured in 16 steps, and these numbers are better if they are lower, but the settling time in the middle table should also be lower, and the less overshoot in the third table, the better. The matte finish helps reduce the intensity of glare from strong light sources, and combined with its great peak brightness, you won't have issues using it in a bright room. The Alienware AW2523HF has a refresh rate of 360 Hz, which means the image can update 360 times each second.

If you're in a bright room, this will keep away reflections, and it does add to the vibrancy of the panel. The Alienware AW2523HF image quality is very good in some ways, but it’s less accomplished in others. Optimise Your Gaming Experience: A revamped OSD layout with centralized joystick allows for easy navigation of the monitor’s settings and features. If you’re already an Xbox Live Gold and/or Game Pass for Console/PC member, any days remaining in your membership(s) will be converted to Ultimate using a conversion ratio. If the issue is covered by the Limited Hardware Warranty and cannot be resolved remotely, the technician and/or replacement part will be dispatched, usually in 1 or 2 business days, following the completion of the remote diagnosis.My testing also found that the less expensive screen had no dimming feature to increase HDR contrast. Other than that, they both offer impressive gaming performance, but the AW2523HF is more versatile with consoles as it can downscale a 4k image.

If for any reason the manufacturer rejects the warranty claim, or you have any other difficulties please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.As I mentioned earlier, you won’t find the Nvidia Latency Analyzer, but everything else needed for performance and convenience is there. The Alienware doesn’t support HDR, either (as is typical of similar 360Hz and above monitors), which makes the sRGB performance even more relevant. IMHO, its a bit overkill for online gaming as even the best internet gaming servers has around 20ms latency. Again, I turned everything down to its bare minimum graphical settings, and yes while it performed a lot smoother than my 165Hz MSI monitor, I wasn’t hitting anywhere near the 360Hz this monitor is capable of. Most obviously, the limited 1080p resolution of the IPS panel looks blocky by today’s standards, with a pixel density of just 90ppi.

design now featuring a hexagonal base for an optimized footprint and free and easy movement of the mouse and keyboard for the ideal esports set-up.

The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Firstly, the AW2523HF has a higher 360Hz refresh rate and better motion handling with 120Hz and 60Hz signals. Its luminance uniformity was actually very good, I was impressed with the score here and finally, while Dell claimed the monitor covered 99% of the sRGB colour gamut, testing for this pre-calibration though saw a score of 94% and after a calibration. For the most part, the image remains consistent when viewing off-center, but it looks darker when viewing from a really wide angle.
