Addictive response
Fastest refresh rate you can get ; Nvidia Reflex performance analyzer ; Excellent HDR ; AlienFX RGB ; Low input lag ; Usable ULMB
Average SDR contrast ; No FreeSync ; Expensive
Though priced at the premium level, the Alienware AW2521H delivers something almost no other monitor can: 360 Hz with a 3 ms screen draw time. That means there’s no motion blur, period. If you have an equally premium gaming PC to go with it, you can’t...

The 240Hz Alienware 25 is a reasonably priced 25-inch 1080p gaming monitor with a fairly bright picture and extremely low input lag. It will thrill twitchy esports hounds, but its colors don't impress.

The Dell Alienware AW2521HF is an overall good monitor with impressive gaming performance. It has identical features as its bigger sibling, the Dell Alienware AW...
Excellent build quality. Wide viewing angles. Exceptional response time.
Sub-par black uniformity. No HDR support.
The Alienware AW2521HF is a good monitor for most uses. The 1080p resolution is decent for its 25 inch screen, but the smaller screen size also makes it less ideal for multitaskers, as there's less room to have multiple windows open at the same time....

The Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor AW2521H has an incredibly high refresh rate — and a price to match.
Impressive refresh rate ; Solid colors and brightness ; Elegant, straightforward design
Very high price ; Some inconvenient features ; Optimized for a niche audience
If you’re unsure about prioritizing frame rate over resolution, though, the AW2521H is a tougher sell. It’s a highly specialized device, and it costs a lot of money, to boot. Still, whatever else you can say about the AW2521H, there’s nothing else...
