what you would say regarding the zowe xl2540k? almost no reviews on yt
@@diegow7504 it's effectively identical to this one I reviewed: ruclips.net/video/I3ts5hSt5Eo/видео.html
See comparison of both on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Zowie/comments/jnex71/xl2540k_and_xl2546k/
I bought this monitor for my 3070TI i9 10k
Powergpu build. The ghosting or blur on Warzone with this monitor is terrible! Going to change the OD setting like you suggested and other ideas? I know Warzone is a very poorly
Optimized game. Thank you
@@phock3806 that's about it, and maybe connection (you connected over DP?) Shouldn't be horrible though.
@@TotallydubbedHD yes sir. I actually notice a pretty good difference setting that OD to super fast! Do you recommend using the gsync feature ? Every settings video I’ve watched for WZ PC says to leave it off .. thanks for the quick reply man!
Very informative, thank you for this. This was the video that sold me on the monitor.
Pleasure buddy, glad you found the video useful :)
Thanks for this great detailed review, mine is arriving tomorrow. What settings do you use for Gsync, etc to get such a smooth experience when going over the refresh rate of the monitor? I've really enjoyed my Asus 280Hz monitor but I wanted a 1440p 240Hz monitor for shooters to go with my single player AW3418DW. Thanks again for all of the detailed information!
Glad you liked the review - settings will have been shared in the video, suggest looking again - not much more to add!
Yo man I literally just started researching this today and literally a couple hour later you put this out XD
Haha winning! Hope the video helped?
We do happen to be in a matrix
@@MrRofi-jp7mo lol
great review 🔥 I have the AW2518Hf and the AW2521H but everyone says the colors on this monitor are ridiculous can’t wait get one of these tomorrow
Definitely an upgrade! It's not the colours etc, it's more the responsiveness will beat your aforementioned monitors.
@@TotallydubbedHD so I even to Best Buy and that had one and holy shit the picture on this monitor is legit the best I’ve ever seen, the only thing that sucks is the price but it’s worth it I don’t care
@@TotallydubbedHD and thank you for the response
@@eathertoes pleasure dude!
Hello
Really nice review, i saw some of your reviews, i was in doubt on this one, the g7 and the aorus fi27q-x. personally, this was always my favorite, but i thought it didn't support freesync.
Im a noob when it comes to specs, so please tell me what would be your pick if you were in my situation.
I have an 6900xt and an i9 10900k and im looking for a 1440p 240hz 1ms. I do play a lot of fps, specially warzone, i do give preference for performance, but i also like to get the best overall quality possible.
Would AW2721d be your pick or would you go for another monitor?
The only thing i need to use to have the freesync compatibility is the display port? or should i get the 2721dgf?
Thank you
Glad you liked the review; indeed this would be my pick if you don't need to play on consoles, you're a hardcore gamer, and can run 1440p at 240hz consistently - you'll have to look up your GPU performance to see if it's suitable.
From one Yanick to another, how's the experience with it so far?
i am thinking of buying it too. how did it go for you
Hi thank you very much for the great review I knew this monitor was special but I am gl;ad to confirm that that is indeed the case! :)
Pleasure bud, glad you liked my review :)
@@TotallydubbedHD You are welcome no worries! Oh also regarding that Eizo monitor that you have suggested me to contact them about the contrast they got back to me and it seems the contrast adjust itself automatically as you adjust the brightness of the screen something along those lines as far as I was able to understand
@@LightBreaker1750 ah brilliant, thanks for letting me know!
@@TotallydubbedHD You are welcome! :)
Thank you. You FINALLY said it!!! You don't see too much difference between 144hz and 240hz. But some people want the extra frames. Much better to say that than your original "It makes no difference".
Glad you liked the comment :)
Hello. Im currently on an LG 27GN750-B but I’m having trouble with visibility in game in different FPS that I play. I just started looking into this monitor but was planning originally on settling for the Samsung g7 for the extra size. Both are an upgrade for resolution which I assume will also help. Only things that kinda put me off with the g7 is the LED display and the curved screen. If you were buying one of these 2 monitors solely for the purpose of increasing visibility I game which would you suggest? The video was great btw.
Thanks! I'd get the AW as it doesn't have a curve, might be better for your eyes to get used to.
I have this coming next week. So happy
Enjoy!
How do you like it? I found it on sale at amazon for 714
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree amazing deal. For that money. I would definitely get it. Its a great monitor and still does well.
@@flipzmadmax5494 Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll go ahead and place this order!
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree it's a great screen. When you get it make sure to calibrate it right away in the monitor settings and change the hz to 240. I think by default it's 120 I'm not too sure. I just know with monitors you have to set them up first.
Hey totally dubbed. Thanks for this review. I just purchased a 34” ultrawide s3422dwg. It’s a budget monitor but I’m primarily using it work for productivity. It’s classified as a budget gaming monitor with 144hz but 5ms as highest extreme settings makes it unusable. I really only play csgo for gaming. How much of a difference will there be between those specs and this which is 240hz 1-2ms? Reason I ask is because I’m considering adding another 27” in vertical mode for more productivity. And in my spare time I can make that the main gaming monitor.
I really wouldn't rely on marketing figures; and as I've not tried your Dell, I can't tell you if it'll be better or worse in terms of response time or input lag. But what I can say, as per my video, is that this AW is one of the best around.
Can you do a review of the AORUS FI32Q and maybe compare it with this monitor? Right now I'm choosing between these two and they are in the same price range.
I'll be getting the FI27Q-X in at some point, which is its smaller sibling. Review will probably be at the end of June :)
Nice review! I recently bought an Alienware AW2521H and it's very good. I'm a casual gamer and also use it for multimedia and photo editing. I bought it from Dell direct for $480 USD. Before that I was using the very popular Asus VG248QE for many years.
Thanks! Why did you buy that monitor out of interest, as when I reviewed it, I found it pretty poor for its asking price and performance. No comparison to this AW monitor, however.
@@TotallydubbedHD Well I bought the monitor for occasional gaming, its aesthetics, and general use such as internet and photo editing. Well I don't really care about 360Hz I just wanted to have a good IPS monitor. And from reading about it from RTINGS and other websites, I thought it would be a good do it all monitor. Buying a 27" monitor like yours is out of the question because I don't really have the space for that size. And after using a TN panel for many years I wanted to try an IPS.
@@carmine619 fair enough, thanks for sharing.
@@TotallydubbedHDcan we buy just the stand anywhere ?I like its design but I have a msi optix mag quantum dot which is s superior one compared to this monitor in every aspect I would like to buy just the stand
@@eliotanderson6554 not that I'm aware of
Hey thanks for the review. Right now im having issues. For me, im someone who always play casual and competetives fps gaming. Should i go for alienware AW21D or acer predator xb273ugx? They both got same specs.
Not tried the Acer, so can't comment but would recommend this.
Thanks for the review. Is this monitor good for single player, non-competitive gaming? I play multiplayer, but 80% of my time is spent playing single player games.
Pleasure; well I don't know why you'd spend more money on getting a 240hz monitor, when you would be more than satisfied with a 144hz panel instead :)
I'd only get 240hz, if you're a hardcore competitive gamer.
Appreciate the video mate. Quick question, would you get this over the Samsung g7? I play competitive fps games and want to jump to 1440p. Thanks in advance.
Surely you must have not watched the video?! There were many comparisons in this video of the two - you'll need to make the decision.
@@TotallydubbedHD yea I've watched it like three times haha. I'm just a worrier and are in the market for a 1440p 240hz monitor so I was just wanting to make the right decision. I'm a competitive warzone player and a few top players have this monitor but then I've seen a few reviews saying the G7 has slightly lower input lag and was wondering if you thought this was viable or if you would still get the alien ware.
@@oli4330 I personally prefer the AW :)
Ok great much appreciated. Did you say you were or are a competitive cs player too?
@@oli4330 yes lol
Nice review - but which one would you pick for competitive gaming - the Alienware for 650 quids or the G7 for 450 Quids? The Alienware is also sold out in Europe, the sales rep said it will be available in 2-3 months from now which is crazy imo.
For that price difference, I'd just pick the Samsung. But my personal pick would be the AW
@@TotallydubbedHD Hey, thanks for the quick reply :)
@@pays3n pleasure!
Btw, if you're going via Amazon, the links in the description give me commission :)
Bought it a few weeks ago. Monitors are generally more expensive where I live but I got it on sale ($716 instead of $843) and so far I'm very impressed. The no true sRGB mode wasn't my main concern anyway and for competetive gaming it's perfect so far. Got a great panel too. No dead pixels, only backlight bleed at a small point in bottom left corner, but you never see that anyways.
Thanks for the review that convinced me! I'm happy with it
Pleasure buddy, glad I could help and that you're enjoying it :)
@@TotallydubbedHD should I buy a alienware 34 or 38 monitor or the new upcoming samsung g5 32 inches monitor which is identical to g5 27 inches.
@@xboxgamerz22 broad questions, can't help there. Suggest looking at the reviews of the particular models.
Got it for $506
@@babagandu happy days!
Bro mine comes Friday , I’m so hype
Enjoy!
Do you use g sync on yours?I have hard time having g sync on. Strangely I notice much more inputlag having it on versus having it off.
I always disable G-Sync generally speaking, as I prefer uncapped frames. I have read in the past where even with G-Sync it is adding a very slight amount of input lag; not sure if it's placebo now, but I always disable it as a result. If you notice it a lot, might it be that you're enabling V-Sync instead (that adds a ton of input lag!)
@@TotallydubbedHD Nope I tried couple diff settings that battle nonsense put out on his channel and all feel shit. Worse part is if I enable it for some games it’s stuck even when I disable it. Only thing that fix it after is too reinstall the drivers. So I don’t use it at all, it’s shame when you pay so much for the functionality that doesn’t work for some ppl.
Hi, I am using the AW2521HF (u reviewed it 4 months ago, looks similar as this AW27 model) now, everything is great but it is lack of HDR support :( . So I am looking for a HDR monitor to play 3A titles like 2077, do you think the HDR function will make a great difference for playing these HDR enabled games? If so is it worth to buy a new monitor just for the HDR function? My budget is £500-600 max so I am wondering should I get this one or the Samsung G7, or if you have any suggestions please tell me thanks :D
I wasn't impressed with that model, was actually pretty poor when it comes to comp gaming - but this panel is a different beast.
If you have the ability to enable HDR (in certain games like Destiny 2 for example), HDR600 will definitely make a positive impact. However, HDR400 or 'HDR certified' is utterly useless, thankfully this AW and the G7 aren't gimmicking HDR, they actually provide a great HDR experience given their HDR600 capabilities.
I wouldn't buy it JUST for its HDR functionalities (although it will be a step up), the thing however I would buy either the G7 or AW is for their gaming capabilities, and put simply they put your AW monitor to complete shame. I'd suggest one or the other - check both my reviews to get a good feel as to what's best for you :)
HDR on this monitor is shit tbh. There is so much clouding in dark parts in games that it’s horrible.
Heya. Great Vid. I have the same desk and Im wondering if 2 of these could fit side by side on the Freddee.
Might do with no speakers, check dimensions! Glad you liked the video
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks and ya no speakers there. It’s either these 2 or take a chance on the qd OLED. Just don’t like burn in risk, plus not sure my 3080ti will push 175 fps in games with ultra settings.
Deciding between this and the Odyssey G7. I do game frequently but also like to use it for other things as well.
Hope the review helps!
I'm still debating if I should get this after seeing your recent reviews on other monitors. I'm a competitive player on the console/XSX.
Would definitely still recommend this if you're in the market for a 240hz 1440p. For me it's between this and the Samsung, and that's for you to decide which to pick based on the pros/cons of each :)
i dont think you can reach 240fps on consoles so IMO this would be kinda wasted, as you can easily get 144hz 1440p IPS monitors for much cheaper
@@StarmanDX well said, missed the console part!
Which screen do you recommend for editing and games between them?
If you're not a hardcore FPS player, something like the Acer Nitro VG270UP/VG271UP
Got me sold on this one, getting it for sure!
Glad I could help! Let me know what you make of it when you get it :)
@@TotallydubbedHD bought it last night on Dell's official site. They are at 899.99$ CAD and they are stating that its a $600 saving, which might be true cause amazon,ca has no stock of them, but at the same time the only once I saw there were at around $1400, so I guess $900 is ok for it. Either way something tells me that I wont regret it :)
@@liquidmilk5323 haha true, but that's expensive :o
@@TotallydubbedHD Ya, very expensive , I got no money left now, but at least i hope it was a long term investment and i wont need to save money on another monitor any time soon :)
@@liquidmilk5323 very true! My monitor is still from 2015 and I've yet to want to change it
Please make a video on your opinion of which monitor is the best for console gaming! New gen consoles. There is no love for console and monitors. I would like your suggestions on what monitors is best with fastest response time and lowest input lag!
Hard to do because I've not owned a console for about 10 years lol
@@TotallydubbedHD dam bro i guess all the youtubers are not console players 😢😂
I actually think most are console gamers lol - they just use PC to do their tests
Hey, is there a better one in terms of color/response time? Without a increase in input lag and a G sync module
Not from what I've tested at this res/refresh rate.
@@TotallydubbedHD alright, guess i'll save upon that one
Can you compare some to the 32 inch version of the G7
I want a 32/34 monitor around same price as the G7 just don't know what to get hdr 600 a minimum 200hz+ preferably altho is there a massive difference 165hz to 240hz ?
Great video u got 1 more sub :)
Sorry I'm confused, what are you after? Suggest watching my video on the 240hz in the description too :)
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks will do soon as I get home from work.
Sorry I'm terrible at describing stuff the Mrs always tells me off lol.
I'm going to watch the G7 video u pointed out!!
I was just wondering right now what's the equivalent or better monitor than the 32in G7 but around the same price not the Acer x34s and Asus equivalent. Been 4 years since I last upgraded to my Asus swift 34in 100hz pg348q I just want to get a better monitor now
Glad I've stumbled upon your channel :)
@@MrLawson666 ah I see! Can't think of one on top of my head to be honest - it's the best 32" 1440p 240Hz monitor I've tested :)

@@MrLawson666 let me know how you get on with it! If you're going via Amazon btw, links in the description give me commission :)
im going back and forward between these 2 monitors, i dont know witch one is the better for overall gaming as i dont mind the curve as i have tested curved monitor at my friends place. would like to know witch one of these is better
Then I suggest you watch my reviews!
Alienware AW2521H 360hz,waiting for a review on this one! Cheers
Ha, cool.
Would you also say this is the best CSGO Monitor for competitive gaming?
Can't decide between this and G7 (never tried curved on CSGO though, any personal opinions on this?), but maybe there is not even a need to pay that much if a cheaper 1440p 240hz is having better/similar input lag, response time and colours.
Money is not important but I also don't want to waste money for no benefits.
My personal input on curved monitors is that I prefer flat; thus what was mentioned in this review/the G7s one too.
As for best comp monitor - arguably, if you want 1440p and 240hz.
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks. I totally missed that on both videos somehow 😅
what would you go with? Personally i prefer the g7, the curve isnt even annoying and VA panels needs it
I prefer an IPS, don't need a 4K signal and would relish native G-Sync. The AW for me!
If you had to choose from the following screens, which one would you take.? ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM or Dell 27 "Alienware AW2721D ?
Not tried the Asus, so the AW, or the AOC: ruclips.net/video/XzuHn2Y8Ahw/видео.html
What picture settings would you use for a game like warzone?
Same as shown
Just got mine today, will test it out in Warzone. i've got a 10900k 3080..transitioning from the ASUS VG27AQ 165hz 1440p..i'll see how the AW2721D will stack up 🤔🤔🤔
Should be good if you're into hardcore comp gaming, but Warzone might not be that game, hehe.
@@TotallydubbedHD ye i'm quite a competitive Warzone player 😅 just not at the pro level tho..wanna have the absolute joy of 240hz 1440p. And i can safely say it does make a difference in the 'smoothness' category compared to my 144hz
@@shaun_evox fair enough!
@@shaun_evox man what preset/colours/options you using on this monitor for warzone? I just bought this monitor too and have high end pc to play warzone at 1440p..thanks!
I got this monitor and it’s the best man 🙌🏼
Nice one dude, glad you're liking it!
Tnx for your honest review
Always! Glad you enjoyed it
The last Alienware monitor I purchased needed 98% contrast due to everything being dull. Brightness appears to be misleading as this refers to the equivalent of someone shining a torch in your face rather than a bright image. Has anything changed, or is the 1440p the same?
Also, the ghosting is MASSIVELY obvious I'm pretty confident nobody uses this.
we would LOVE a comparison between aw2721d and the new replacement model aw2723df!
Unlikely to happen buddy, but would be good to do!
How good is this with the 2070 super? I'm trying to hold out another year or two before upgrading but want to future proof a fast monitor for competitive fps
Think it's a great pairing!
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks!
@@dantea.2537 Np
would you recomend hdr with this monitor or no?
Do you run this monitor with GSYNC on for CSGO and if so no input lag? I still can’t decide between this and G7
I leave G-sync disabled when gaming on CSGO, always.
Thanks man!! Who else bought this monitor? Mine finally arrived this afternoon
Let us know if you like the monitor, and if the backlight bleed too bad. im deciding if should buy one
Enjoy!
Does the monitor look washed out at all? Debating between this and the g7 but I'm looking for really deep blacks with good contrast
I have the g7
I know you said you’d prefer the AW but I play both competitive games and story driven games do you think the screen size of G7 32 inch would be better for immersion than the AW 27 inch or do you think the colours on the IPS AW still make it the pick?
Good question - I still think 27" is the perfect size for me - so I don't feel 32" would add that much extra - but equally, it's down to what you're used to!
@totallydubbedHD which would you choose out of this and the G7?
I'd pick this one.
@@TotallydubbedHD thank you! I ordered it thanks to your video. You’re awesome 👏🏽
@@Komfirmed pleasure, glad I could help bud. Let me know how you get on :)
Please review Gigabyte FI27Q-X, Acer XB273U GX, Asus XG27AQM too.
I think these are better than AW2721D, just want to hear how you feel about these model, thanks.
Please tell these manufacturers to send them to me lol. I've requested a few of these and not heard back.
I would avoid the Acer XB273U GX. While it's a great panel on paper, it suffers from serious overshoot problems when using G-Sync as Acer locks the overdrive settings when enabled. I had the XB273U GS and it suffered from the same problem also, although to its merit it had great contrast for an IPS panel and amazing picture.
@@pk.002 thanks for sharing!
Hey, quick question… I have two Alienware aw2721d monitors so I ordered the Dell Dual arm mount MDA20 but now I can’t get the monitors to sit flush with each other. Is this the wrong kind of mount should I order another dual mount or would I be better off ordering a two single ones?
There are plenty of dual monitor mounts out there, but no idea about that one!
I went with the g7 27" but after some reading i have noticed that in gync mode and with the new firmware and vrr turned on monitor to stop the dreaded flickering it has a slight micro stutter and when turned off its fine - so im in the market for a new monitor
Didn't have issues myself, as per my G7 review. But this AW is impressive.
@@TotallydubbedHD so which is better , the G7 or the AW? I’m running a I7 cpu and the ritz 3070ti

@@johnnybutters9754 suggest watching the video, and making your own informed decision - covered in the video.
@@TotallydubbedHD to be honest it is our first gaming pc, I did watch both your videos on the G7 and AW, very informative, thank you and thanks for the reply, maybe I should have read more of the comments 😜 it seems your personal preference is the aw, I was about to purchase the G7 but now in two minds. so hence the question. Do you think I should go with the aw? Cheers again
How does the Alienware AW2721D compare to let's say one of Zowie's best 27 inch monitors? For competitive gaming
I'd still pick it over a TN
What about ghosting? Should i prefer Asus rog pg259qnr or this? 240hz is okay for me but Im obsessive with ghosting.
For CSGO which monitor would you pick between aw2721d vs pg279qm?
Thanks for your time
I'd suggest this one.
Alienware is set to release a new 1440p 280hz monitor. It seems to me these 2 are identical but one has the gsync module. What y would you pick?
Not tried the other, and doubt I will so can't comment
Hey! Do you think an RTX3060 can handle this beauty of monitor in terms of image quality and performance or im gonna fell short :(?
You'll fall short.
@@TotallydubbedHD Any monitor reference for this Graphic Card? (model: RTX 3060 AERO ITX) No especific budget, Thanks in advance
@@gallomexico4919 I'd stick to 1080p personally, look at this monitor: ruclips.net/video/MyWAukGEDmU/видео.html
My question if I put down the hz of Alienware monitor will it affect it performance because currently I Have a rtx 3070 with a cpu of Ryzen 7 3800x and I don’t know if this monitor will be to much for it to handle so I was thinking of putting the down the hz when I’m playing in 1440p and putting the resolution down to 1080p when I want to play in 240hz
I get where you're coming from, but that doesn't make much sense. See the monitor as a bottleneck of a wine bottle, and your GPU as the wine/liquid. Let all the liquid flow (fps), but limit the amount fo water going through the bottleneck (ie, reduce the GPU settings in-game if needed, or in an extreme scenario the resolution - as you said), but let the stream flow without squeezing the bottleneck even tighter.
And tbh you'll be fine with an RTX 3070!
Hi I currently play Xbox series x and I’m planning on changing to pc soon, I like the look of this monitor would it be compatible with the series x and able to run 1440p 120hz until I make the switch?

@@TotallydubbedHD I have. I understand that it has a built in module. However I am unable to get anywhere near 1440p @ 240hz when gaming.
By anywhere near, is that due to your GPU settings, thus in game FPS, or are you saying through your NV panel it's not even an option?
@@TotallydubbedHD no option to tick the check box in nvidia control panel.
@@TubButter that's impossible. Adaptive sync is on in the OSD? And you're connected over DP or HDMI?
i am having a hard time finding a monitor i only play a few games but when i turn off freesync the graphics shudder - is this because im using a rx 580 card and my question is if i get a 3070ti will it be possible to play games without freesync or gsync ?
Shudder or tearing? RX580 should be fine, namely with AMD FreeSync. If it's shuddering, it might be worth asking on forums - but that would suggest there's a rendering problem (thus a faulty card/cable). Hard to say.
Should I get this or wait for the ASUS PG279QM?
The alienware design for the stand turns me off but I love the borderless screen design. And it’s the opposite for the ASUS I hate the bottom bezel.
Cannot give you that info, as I've not tried the Asus.
IM curiuous about this too
Yeh I just brought one to for Xbox series x. You can get 4k monitors now with hdmi 2.1 which will allow you to game at 4k on 120fps but the over priced and still seem they need work.I cant really tell a massive difference with 1440p to 4k but I can with 1080p to 1440p at 120fps and wanted a monitor that would be have the ability to go higher in the future as tech evolves so the 240hz is great.has to be said you can only reach 240hz for this through display point
Indeed, it has HDMI 2.0, with no 4K signal input; still gives you 1440p @120hz on Xbox!
And agreed for the 1080p to 1440p comment.
What are your settings for brightness and contrast, also do you use HDR while playing?
Suggest checking the video!
So if the cost isn’t an issue what is everyone’s opinion this Alienware monitor or the g7? I mainly play call of duty and will be playing the new battlefield when it comes out. Thanks
I'd pick this one
So when it comes to the framerate, does the alienware makes a big a difference? And how much more fps than the g7?
No difference, both are identical in that domain
@@TotallydubbedHD did you notice any stutter, flickering or ghosting with the g7?
@@mohammedxgh none on either
I suffer eye strain constantly. Curious if you know what gaming monitor would work? Thanks
Hard to say, maybe one that has PWM flicker-free technology (look it up)?
IM thinking about aw and Odyssey but im still not sure but im close to choose odyssey what yall thinking
I'm thinking you should watch the video.
I’ve got a dog swift PG279Q, tempted to get the Alienware but I doubt I will notice much difference, I also want to keep the target option the PG279Q has, does anyone know if the Alienware has this? It’s a HUD which gives you a crosshair target on the screen with the push of a button. Love having it in certain games, can’t live without it now.
Check the OSD section of this video regarding the crosshair
What would you personally get for your personal use. G7 or AW2721D ?
The AW buddy, presume you watched the vid :)?
@@TotallydubbedHD I watched them both. Thank you for the reply. ❤
@@MrHorda no worries
got mine today upgraded from a Dell S2716DG!
Very nice, enjoy!
Hi, i bought AW2721D 2 months ago. After about a hour I noticed that color temperature on AW2721D a little bit change. Right after turning on, the white color is greyish (warm), but after a hour white screen is cool and colors become more saturated. It seems to me to, that screen brightness is a little bit higher after hour. I use factory preset mode Sport/Variable backlight Mode - 0. It is normal or something is wrong with my AW2721D? The differences are not big, but they are noticeable.
That doesn't sound right to me, maybe contact AW tech support
Will this pair up good with a 3070 & 5800x? And will I notice a difference upgrading from a dell 1440p 165hz? I play warzone.
1. Yes.
2. Suggest watching my video that compares 60/144/240hz monitors (in the description) and make your own mind up about 240Hz; I wouldn't personally upgrade given you only play Warzone.
Great video! BUT Lol the Samsung G7 is a certified beast! Plus I ordered it for only $499... At that price it's untouchable. I do love IPS screen on the Alienware monitor, I ordered this one from Amazon but returned it a few days later. The G7 works really well with the RX 6900XT.
Fair enough, enjoy buddy!
Too bad the curve is way too aggressive on the g7 i bought one and didn't like the curve on it ended up giving it away lol
@@SenSnpz I agree 💯. I'm not a big fan of the curve either, if it didn't perform so well, I would have returned it for something else. Performance out weights the curve in my book.
@@MrEdwardz00 Glad you like it the perfomance is definitely top tier but the curve is a no for me lol if they make it non curved one day I'll definitely buy it again
hi can i ask which one you thought looked better visually? I game competitively, but i also want my games to look good when im not playing a competitive game lol. this is a tough choice between the two for me
Can anyone tell me the dimensios of the base plz? I dont know if it can fit in my desktop
Out of context question. But Can i change refresh rate to any number? Or specific numbers?
Technically you should be able to via custom software.
I have a query…can we use this monitor in full hd during fames so that it can easily maintain 240hz? Keeping all things same will lowering the reaolution will effect input lag, response time , etc?
From memory you can, but I wouldn't suggest doing that, rather, lower your graphics settings in game. If you think you'll struggle to output 1440p, then either look to upgrade your GPU or buy a 1080p monitor.
So this over the G7? What about AMD Freesync? How do you use freesync with this monitor?
Up to you to make the decision, if you watched the video.
As for FreeSync, I've also referenced it.
I stand between this one or the odyssey g7 but I don’t know! Which one should you buy?
Did you watch the video?
Aw2721d or G7 or zowie xl2546 ? Which is more best and more better for competitive gaming please?
This or the G7 imo
If you mainly play csgo the xl2546 is a better choice. But the difference is just so little that probably wouldn't impact your results.
@@axolniz6597 review: ruclips.net/video/I3ts5hSt5Eo/видео.html
Would this pair well with the series X?, or would the G7 be a better option
Did you watch the review at all?
I was at work so I figured I'd ask,
I didnt quite understand, you said it didn't pair well with the ps5, but with the xbox it would?
Also is the price difference between the alienware and g7 worth it if I'm going to be gaming on an xbox?
@@igotyou1698 suggest you watch it back again, and cannot confirm for either console regardless.
i don't know what are u talking about whole video.. im noob .. just wanna ask is hdr 600 make this one really killer quality ? i dont play shooting game.. only online mmos most of the time, gta and dota .. and that 1ms ghosting that u talking about will effect my experience on online mmos?
If you're not a comp gamer, there's no need to get a 240hz monitor
I love the monitor but will it run good with my m17r3 2070super video card?
Think you'll be just about fine, but might struggle to output 240hz consistently
can you suggest a color accurate gaming monitor?
Yup: ruclips.net/video/XzuHn2Y8Ahw/видео.html
I have a 1080p monitor right now. Running a 3070 rog strix. This would be your choice? I mostly game warzone
Indeed, watched the video?
@@TotallydubbedHD yes I did. Very good review. I’ve been hesitant on what Monitor to buy and whether to spend the big cash or not
@@sheaner2296 totally up to you, but if you don't need 240hz, as warzone isn't exactly top echelons of FPS gaming, you might want to save yourself money and get a 144hz instead - suggestions in the description! Glad you liked the video :)
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks for the tip man! Appreciate it
@@sheaner2296 no worries, do drop a like or sub if you haven't already :)
Looks pretty cool, but I think I prefer quantum dot VA over IPS
Interesting, how comes?
@@TotallydubbedHD I prefer the contrast of a VA and black levels, plus quantum dot has nice colours. I've heard about nano IPS having nice colours but I haven't personally used a nano IPS panel.
@@kirby6483 ah fair enough; to be honest be it Nano IPS or a great IPS panel, the differences are still there; I notice the difference coming from my Acer XF270HU (IPS 144hz 1440p) each time I get a VA panel for review
same.
Both monitors are absolute behemoths, but the Samsung Odyssey G7 seems to have the upper hand for having both AMD and NVIDIA syncs built in.
@@videogamephenomhd from memory, the G7 doesn't have a built in G-Sync module
So i got the money to get one and for the love of god' I have been trying to get one for weeks from Amazon and Dell, I called Dell and they said 28/06/2021. and Amazon says 1 to 2 months. Where did you get yours? Thanks
Looks like it's available in the UK last time I checked - use the links in the description :)
Damn. I ordered mine on the 15th of June and it's getting here tomorrow. Only 3 days for me. I got this to pair with my AW X17. Hopefully there won't be an issue using as a secondary display because my x17 is 4k 120.
What better for games like Warzone 2 + Nvidia 3080, monitor AW2723DF wihtout G-sync module or AW2721D with G-sync module ? Thanks
Not tried the other so can't comment
Aw2721d, Predator XB3 or Omen X 27 for competitive gaming?
The AW for me.

Would this be worth buying for the PlayStation 5?? October 2022 now ps5 supports 1440p or what would you suggest thanks
No, 144hz monitors is what you should be looking at. Don't waste money on 240hz when you can't output it (capped at 120hz).

Hi I have a question not very good at all this stuff lol. I’ve just bought the Alienware x17 laptop with 11th generation Icore7, Nvidia GeForce 3080 graphics card, 32gb ram and the 4K screen 120hz and I’m looking at buying this Monitor to plug into my laptop to game at 1440 is this possible as you said it doesn’t downscale from 4K or is that just for consoles not laptops ? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense lol
That's just for consoles buddy, but you'll have to be mindful of the ports from and to your laptop for 1440p at 240hz - do you have a displayport output (via GPU) on your laptop? More info on ports: ruclips.net/video/daHrqIFieBU/видео.html
@@TotallydubbedHD The Alienware x17 laptop has a mini display port 1.4 and the monitor has a display port 1.4 is that ok to get the 240hz

@@TotallydubbedHD so you don't think it's worth upgrading ? I saw some videos of people saying there's a noticeable difference between 120hz and 240hz
@@khalifaacm suggest you watch my video on 240hz monitors, it's in the description
So which one should i buy?
That's up to you!
I was curious, what is the point of gsync at 240hz if you can only run ~100fps on max setting on some games. does gsync even work at that fps?
Good question, asked Adam from PC Monitors to be sure; but yes, even at 100fps, thus under the max refresh rate of this monitor (240Hz), you'll still see the benefits of G-Sync (due to good VRR range - thanks to the built-in Nvidia module).
You'll still get tearing to some degree (just less so) on lower fps/hz (ie 100fps). In some games, it'll be noticeable, while in others, like CSGO, it'll be indistinguishable, at least imo.
Hope that answers the question?
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks :)
Will you review ASUS TUF Gaming VG289Q 4K monitor?
No idea mate; can request it, but Asus have had a recent PR change, so no idea if they'll be responsive.
That's a 60 Hz POS.

Please answer. So I’m stuck between this and the Samsung g7. I don’t play pc I play Xbox series x I don’t own a pc. Will I need a pc to use this ?? Or the g7 ? Do I need to update firmware etc ?? As I won’t be able to thankyou
Both are completely pointless. You can't output more than 120hz -why would you waste your money?
Look into the Acer Nitro in the description, instead
Because eventually going to get a pc. That’s why stuck between the Alienware aw2721d or the g7. Or is there other top tier ones like them ? Is msi good ?
@@skrttBD4 suggest you watch the video then
did you check out the newer type Alienware AW2723DF ?
Nope!
2:00 what monitor would be able to downscale it to 1440p?
The G7!
Brthr. Can I pair this monitor with a rtx 2060 super, or will it a bad idea I mean, the monitor bottle neck?
You mean the GPU is the bottleneck? I think you'll be stretching it for consistent 240fps at 1440p.
