Product Information

This subreddit is for News, Reviews, or high quality discussions related to Monitors and Display Technologies. That’s important to note because most SDR games target the sRGB color gamut rather than a broader, more vivid color gamut such as DCI-P3 or Rec. The panel also has slightly above average contrast with ratios nearing 1,200:1, not bad for IPS in general. The Alienware AW2523HF image quality is very good in some ways, but it’s less accomplished in others.

You do have to pull the power cable back a little bit so that it isn't visible, but overall it's fairly easy to completely hide all of the cables, which I do appreciate. The lozenge shape around the attachment point hides a 100mm VESA mount and is textured like a grill. And with its Fast IPS panel, sRGB 99% color coverage and support for HDR content playback, you're guaranteed consistent, vivid colors across a wide viewing angle for immersive, lifelike visuals.With its high resolution and fast response time, you can enjoy crisp images and smooth motion while gaming or watching movies. If you're in a bright room, this will keep away reflections, and it does add to the vibrancy of the panel.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Additionally, the packaging uses ~50% less EPE foam, is free of plastic clips and features an OBP (Ocean Bound Plastic) handle. ComfortView is a TÜV Rhienland certified software-enabled low blue light solution that optimizes eye comfort by reducing blue light emission for long hours of comfortable viewing sessions. Two of the four USB ports are on the monitor's lower lip, making a wired mouse or keyboard easy to connect.However, there are cheaper 240Hz monitors available that are also great for gaming, so only get this monitor if you're going to use the full refresh rate range. A 100mm x 100mm VESA mount is supported too, so the panel can be attached to any third-party monitor arm.

While it's good for use in bright rooms thanks to its high peak brightness, it's bad for use in dark rooms as blacks look gray. Most displays have the ability to be tilted forward and backward as to provide a more comfortable viewing position for the user. Information about the available connectivity ports, slots and interfaces such as USB, infrared port, SD card slot, audio/video and network interfaces, etc.It’s far from these sleek slimline stands fashioned on the productivity monitors, and even something like the AOC gaming range with the skinny legs that we’ve seen in the past. However, with a 1080p resolution, it's just decent for media consumption as you can't watch the latest 4k videos, and its mediocre for HDR as it doesn't get bright enough to make colors look vivid.
