Dell Alienware AW2521H 24.5″ Full HD LED Gaming Monitor

Description

The Dell Alienware AW2521H is an excellent gaming monitor. It’s one of the first few monitors released with an extremely high 360Hz refresh rate, which helps deliver an incredible response time with silky smooth motion. It also has an exceptionally low input lag and native G-SYNC variable refresh rate (VRR) support, but it doesn’t support FreeSync. It’s really well-built and offers great ergonomics, so you shouldn’t have any difficulty placing it in an ideal viewing position. It has an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, but that comes at the cost of a low contrast ratio, so blacks appear closer to gray when viewed in the dark. The smaller screen and 1080p resolution may be too limiting for office use, but the lower resolution isn’t too taxing on your graphics card when gaming.

The Dell Alienware AW2521H looks exactly like the Dell Alienware AW2521HF. It has a black body with thin bezels on three sides and a thicker bottom bezel. It has a gamer-oriented design with RGB lighting on the back.

The Dell Alienware AW2521H has an excellent build quality. It’s made entirely out of plastic, and it feels solid throughout. It’s well-built, it doesn’t wobble, and there aren’t any obvious loose parts.
