With overdrive setting at extreme and 240hz there is no ghosting with Gsync enabled with the UFO test

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!

The panel type is basically what impacts your experience most. There are three main types here, IPS, VA, and TN.

resolution means I can run with higher graphics settings in games without needing a super-high-end GPU. Something to think about when I am gaming in retirement in the future.

Of course, such image quality can be found on significantly cheaper monitors too, but the fact that it’s paired with a high 360Hz refresh rate will delight a lot of gamers as they won’t have to settle for TN panels with inferior image quality, narrow viewing angles, and prominent gamma shifts. Note that the monitor can also support 10-bit color depth, in which case you’re limited to 300Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 without chroma subsampling. The Alienware AW2521H covers 98% of sRGB and around 80% DCI-P3 which means it is not the most vibrant, but it still is great for gaming. However, it features fantastic accuracy right out of the box with a dE average of 1.12. The color temperature slightly exceeds the 6500K point, but it’s ready for gaming as soon as you plug it in. The Alienware AW2521H is excellent and all, but it is prohibitively expensive for many and it isn’t widely available yet at the time of this review. However, if it becomes available via the links above and below or if you spot it in the wild, we highly suggest you grab it right away. It’s one of the best competitive gaming monitors hands down, especially when performance is concerned.

The 1920×1080 Full HD resolution results in a decent pixel density of 90 PPI (pixels per inch) on the 24.5″ viewable screen of the Alienware AW2521H monitor. I love your commentary on Gsync. Question #2. Based on what you're telling me I think you're saying turn off Gsync and set the overdrive mode to normal and I'll get a 3ms average on a 4.17ms refresh rate? Correct? Also, when I turn off Gsync, what should I set my vsync settings to in game and in the Nvidia control panel. Also, what should I cap the in game FPS to? If I dont put a setting in, Apex caps it at 144? Should I cap it at 240? Or cap it at the average I measure from testing on #1. 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. Now, while the jump to 360Hz from 240Hz is noticeable, it’s not as apparent as it is going to 240Hz from 144Hz, but you can definitely feel the difference. When all is said and done, 360Hz monitors do have a lot to offer, especially to competitive gamers that know how to take advantage of them. And the models we chose above are all the best of the best, with great viewing angles, excellent performance, and plenty of adjustments.
