The common compromise with fast monitors used to be the panel, but that’s not the case. ASUS has opted for an IPS panel, which gets you truly great colors and viewing angles. If you’re the kind of person that enjoys good visuals and not just the highest refresh rate possible, this will make a massive difference. Could you perhaps get into the service menu and tell us which panel it has? And do some testUFO ghosting tests at 960pps or 1440pps at max refresh rate! Thanks! This is also in conflict with Tom's recommending the world sweet spot res which is QHD. Move on already people.

Some advanced image adjustment tools are missing, including gamma, 6-axis hue/saturation, and sharpness. This is sadly common for Alienware displays. Design & Connectivity I have the in-game fps counter and I can see that the game floats between 160-240hz. I have it capped at 237 so that makes sense. Question #1, is there a tool I can use to measure my average throughout a match? It's well known that at the start of the game and/or the "drop-in" that FPS is the lowest. Once you drop down and are on land I think I'm getting above 200FPS on average. But that's a subjective view. I'd like to get objective there. It can only be activated at a fixed 144Hz or 240Hz refresh rate, and not at the same time as NVIDIA G-SYNC. seems to be using a 360hz ips panel from LG. interesting that theyd release another 360hz ips when they already have the aw2521h.With monitors like this, you often have to compromise in terms of image quality and viewing angles, but that’s not the case here. Acer didn’t cut any corners here, which is why you’re looking at an IPS panel with excellent viewing angles and overall color reproduction.

Specifications Size: 24.5” | Panel: Fast IPS | Resolution: 1920 x 1080 | Refresh Rate: 360Hz | Response Time: 1ms (GTG)The first thing you should know is that this is a 24.5” panel with a resolution of 1920×1080. Ask any gamer, and they’ll tell you that this is the sweet spot for competitive gaming. You get both a decent size display and a good resolution to keep things sharp in-game, which is right where you want to be. Calibrating the Alienware AW2521H can lower the dE average to around 0.50, but we don’t think it is worth it for gaming purposes. Using a colorimeter can correct the already very minor flaws, but it’s already good to go thanks to Aliernware’s fantastic factory calibration. Of course, you can tweak it if you already have the gadget, but spending more on it isn’t practical judging from these results.
