Review Alienware AW2524HF 500 Hz Gaming Monitor Review: Exotic Speed and Response

[Admin]

Alienware introduces its second 500 Hz monitor, the AW2524HF. It delivers next-level speed and response in a 25-inch FHD IPS panel with Adaptive-Sync and HDR. And it’s less expensive than its G-Sync-equipped stablemate, the AW2524H.

When the early First Person Shooters showed up, (Doom, Rise of the Triad, Descent etc.), 10 FPS was considered playable. 24 FPS was thought to be perfect because that is the Frame Rate of Film. Then the hardware caught up and we saw what 60 FPS looked like. That was a "Game Changer", (Pun intended).

I love a high frame rates. 144 FPS is great. Do I need 500 FPS, not likely, but I do want to try it. My only complaint is the size. I wish it was bigger.

My main issue is that it's using IPS for 500 Hz VRR.

IPS doesn't have the pixel reaction time to support 500 Hz w/o ghosting.

It's not like OLED or classic CRT.

Yes, you can OC the panel to support it, but there will be issues with it.

I don't know about 500 Hz, but it works pretty good up to 160 Hz, no ghosting.

I'd imagine that's imperceptible at those refresh rates, but I'd have to see it in person.

Whose Line is it Anyway moment: Comments your girlfriend might say about you or your TV.

Joking aside, 25" at 1080p is about all you'd ever want, really. Unless you're gaming at a considerable difference, I'd never personally recommend a monitor larger than 25" if it's 1080p, because the pixel density is pretty low up close. I mean, the 500hz is because it's at 1080p, and this is mostly for diehard FPS players, but I'd still prefer lower refresh for higher pixel density.
