[SOLVED] Opinions on the Alienware AW2518HF?

[Ley]

How's the Alienware AW2518HF display? And compared to others on the same price range (bought it at around 330€)? FreeSync, 240Hz, 1080p. My rig's on my signature.
Thanks!

Here is a fairly positive review. It even lists a couple of similar competitors for consideration:

If anyone's interested, I got the monitor today and I'm very happy about this purchase.
The image quality is way better than the BenQ XL2411P I had before, super thin bezels, great design, 4 USB3 ports behind + jack, and FreeSync works great on my Nvidia GPU. Two downsides: the stand is bulky and the box comes with an HDMI cable, no DP.

For me the display shows a horizontal dead pixel line... on boot sequence.. after a day of use

RMA? Working flawlessly so far. Maybe it's just a faulty unit

Uhh i think so, other than that monitor colors are amazing and so is refresh rate... hopefully they can replace my broken one...

Yeah, the first thing I noticed is how better the colours are compared to my other monitor.
They will replace it, if you bought it on Amazon you have 30 days to send it back, otherwise just contact Dell and they'll take care of it.
