About this deal

Additionally, this OSD menu is easy to navigate and intuitive. The six OSD buttons are right at the base of the screen’s bezel.

low contrast and high brightness (for better response times), maybe contrast 42/68 and brightness 99/75 - you might not like it In other words, the preset labeled as "super fast" (for example) now has what I assume to be roughly the same amount of overdrive gain attached to it, as the "normal" preset has in non-VRR operation. The Dell AW2518HF is an overall decent gaming monitor, but there are much better alternatives around this price range. Specifications Screen Size

In this review, we have looked deeper into the gaming features of the model. We’ve found it to be one of the best options for pro-gamers and beginners in this field. Are you a competitive gaming enthusiast? Then you’re most likely to observe the 144Hz and the 240Hz dilemma. In short, this difference is clear but not like between 144Hz and 60Hz. The monitor is exceptionally well-built, with a thin bezel, and it weighs only 13.47 pounds along with the stand. Your monitor is safe and stable on this tripod. So, you can enjoy the game without any screen tearing or stuttering. Meaning: If you use the "normal" preset without g-sync/freesync, you'll get more or less the same results. Ergonomic functionalities include 130mm height adjustment, 90-degree pivot, 20-degree swivel to the left and right, -5, 25-degree tilt, and 100 x 100 VESA mount compatibility. The screen is covered with ananti-glare matte(3H) coating.

Het venster Zelfuitpakkend bestand wordt weergegeven en u wordt gevraagd om het bestand uit te pakken in The 240Hz vs. 144Hzdilemma is more and more frequently brought up among competitive gamers. In short, the difference is certainly apparent – but not as apparent as it is between60Hz and 144Hz. The design of the Alienware gaming monitor is futuristic and alien-like. That is why this monitor will stand out on your desk. Are you are a gamer who loves casual or competitive gaming? You’re bound to notice a significant difference. It will strike you if you are switching from a 60Hz gaming monitor to an elusive 240 fps. In even simpler terms: You didn't fix anything. You're basically using the "normal" response time preset now, it's just labeled differently. (Which is by the way perfectly OK. One should use the overdrive preset, which results in the least amount of image artifacts, not the one which is labeled the most eye-catchingly.)for colors maybe "Custom mode" if Im correct. And I slightly modified RGB values for more pleasing colors.

For a competitive gamer, though, this won’t cause a lot of issues since you’ll mainly be sitting directly in front of the screen. Dynamic Contrast (I found that having this on actually helped with the ghosting and motion blur issue a little bit in some cases) DDC/CI (This is recommended to keep off, but I found no difference in testing. Your GPU might do some dynamic/automatic overdrive adjustments if you enable g-sync/freesync though, so I would keep it on with G-sync enabled)

A slick and speedy gaming monitor

The major problem with 240Hz gaming screens is the cost factor. They cost 2x more than 144Hz gaming monitors. That’s why novice or casual gamers may be better off looking elsewhere. Follow the UFOs with your eye and observe the amount of ghosting/overshoot you see with your gsync+super fast "fix" in place.
