About this deal

Based on an IPS panel, the Dell AW2521HF monitor delivers accurate, consistent, and vivid colors covering the standard and most widespread sRGB color space with 99% sRGB gamut. The Dell Alienware AW2521HF is yet another 1080p 240Hz IPS gaming monitor with a fast 1ms response time speed and AMD FreeSync (certified as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’).

The bottom line; strong responsiveness and colour performance from a stylish and well-priced monitor. Unlike some of the other 240Hz IPS models, the Dell AW2521HF does not support HDR (High Dynamic Range).My current Brightness setting on the monitors display settings is 90% and the contrast is set to 96%. After messing with the color calibration and the built in settings I finally found settings that seriously bring out some serious clarity for the AW2521hf monitor. I've had this monitor for about 6 months now and honestly I feel as if I just discovered a new one. I used the built in settings and also used the nvidia control panel color settings for this so I apologize to anyone with an AMD card.

The colors will also remain flawless regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen, thanks to the 178° wide viewing angles of the IPS panel technology. Note that there is always some disparity between how emissive objects (monitor) and non-emissive objects (printed sheet) appear. The representation of shades in this image depends on the camera and your own screen, it’s not designed to show exactly how the shades appear in person. It still helps demonstrate some of the relative differences between the original intended sRGB shade and what the monitor outputs, however. Full profiling and appropriate colour management on the application would provide a tighter match, our intention here is to show what can be expected in a non colour-managed environment. We created out own LBL setting as described below. This provides effective blue light reduction and can easily be assigned to a numbered ‘Game’ preset for easy activation and deactivation.Finally, note again that you can go to ‘Game Enhance Mode’ in the ‘Game’ section of the OSD to activate the ‘Frame Rate’ feature. This displays the current refresh rate of the monitor and will reflect the frame rate if it’s within the main variable refresh rate window (e.g. 80 – 240fps). Whether it be for competitive gaming on an enthusiast, or professional level, these monitors are both suitable for even the highest competitive standards. An obvious cool (blue) almost icy-looking tint due to very high colour temperature. Some shades brightened up just slightly due to gamma handling, but not by a huge amount. Strong consistency due to IPS-type panel, without the perceived gamma and saturation shifts associated with TN or VA panels. Intended as a Low Blue Light (LBL) setting, but very ineffective. The colour temperature is warmer by default but the blue channel remained strong on our unit and green channel very strong. This gave an unbalanced image with clear green tint, without achieving its key goal. The Lagom text appeared a blended grey throughout, with a slight red hue to the striping of the text. There were no clear flashes of saturated red, orange or green or shifts between these with a bit of head movement. This indicates a low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, typical for an IPS-type panel.

As it’s the case with most Alienware gaming monitors, the design has a sci-fi vibe with a premium build quality and the AlienFX RGB lighting technology with plenty of customization.

Finally, the screen has a 25% low-haze matte anti-glare coating, which eliminates reflections without making the picture appear too grainy.
