Customer Review: Backlight flickering is unreal
John
From the manufacturer
Unleash your speed. Claim your power
Next-level speed: Wait for no one. Experience everything with a lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate with Fast IPS Technology.
Blur, terminated: With a true 1ms GTG response time, the pixels themselves change color almost instantaneously to ensure smooth gameplay and eliminate motion blur.
Clarity never stops: With NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE certification, this monitor delivers smooth and tear-free action, and brilliant HDR renderings with HDR capable games.
The color is in the details
Go deeper: VESA Display HDR 600 provides real-time contrast ratios with localized dimming that yields impressive highlights and deep blacks, which also supports a wider color gamut. Plus, QHD resolution allows you to see 77% more on-screen game content in incredible detail compared to Full HD resolution.
The full array: With new IPS Nano Color technology, you experience colors with 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, which is a professional color gamut that has greater range than sRGB.
Angled to win
- A fully adjustable stand with height markers gives you more comfort, greater versatility and easier adjustability for an extended gaming session. Tilt, swivel, adjust and game on.
- Low latency ensures it takes less time to process changes on screen, so images are quickly and clearly displayed and gameplay feels more responsive.
- In order to get the full NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE experience, users must ensure that the monitor is directly connected to the HDMI or DisplayPort on their PC.
Designed for dominance
Light it up: AlienFX allows for custom lighting and in-game lighting responsiveness. The Gaming OSD offers several gamer-centric options that helps you improve your performance and provide the best in-game advantage.
Easy on the eyes: A flicker-free screen with ComfortView reduces harmful blue light emissions so you can enjoy marathon gaming sessions without eye fatigue. Disclaimer: First image is for illustration purposes only.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This is a short term review, as I've only had it for a week.
Pretty much echoing what other people have said, the colors and brightness are fantastic compared to my other gaming monitors (I own a 240hz zowie, 240hz alienware, 144hz zowie, and a 1440p 165hz 27" asus), and for that reason I love it. I was afraid it'd ruin my other gaming monitors for me, and it definitely did, it'd be hard to go back to every day use of my other 1080p high refresh rate gaming oriented monitors after this bad boy.
Aesthetically it's got a clean, gamer style look to it, I don't hate it, but this is subjective of course. I also never look at the back of my monitor anyway, plus I use desk mounts for them so I don't use the standard, out of the box stands. Oh it's also pretty heavy compared to other monitors I own. I have it on a standard vizio extra tall pole style monitor mount, but it seems to be ok so far.
The OSD is fine, pretty much the same as my Alienware AH2518H, but a couple more things, and the joystick style controls it's a hell of a lot easier to navigate.
It's 240hz which is nice, it's hard for me to use anything less than 240hz now, as I was a OG gamer that started out on CRTs back in the day, I'm sensitive to motion blur and lower refresh rate lcds. 1440p 240hz is going to be the new sweet spot for gaming monitors IMHO, with GPUs getting more powerful (if you can even find one to purchase at MSRP lel). The motion blur on this monitor in faster paced fps/Afps games isn't too bad, but I would have liked to have some sort of strobing/blur reduction option like the G7.
The only downside to this monitor is the price IMHO, if it was constantly around the 700 mark (it's on sale as of 3/4/21 for 769) with price drops to 6-500 I think it'd be worth it for sure, but at full MSRP or even at the 800 mark it's up there in price for a gaming monitor.
If you have the money, and want a 27" 1440p, 240hz monitor with great colors and brightness out of the box, this might be the one for you. I love it, and if it was cheaper I'd probably buy a second one.
If you want a good monitor that's 1440p 240hz, but with lower motion blur, and don't mind the dumb curve it has (that's the deal breaker for me on that monitor) check out the Samsung odyssey G7.
I might update this review at a later date if anything changes on it.
Mine arrived in perfect condition, double boxed from Amazon. The Alienware packaging is actually very nice, well packaged to ensure the monitor arrives in perfect condition. I have no dead pixels, no hot or stuck pixels, no back light bleed, with minimal IPS glow that is on all IPS monitors.
Amazing colors, great viewing angles, and blazing fast pixel response times. G-Sync works flawlessly as expected, and yes this monitor has REAL G-Sync, not that compatible crap that flickers or has issues like on the Samsung G7. This is the real deal, and worth the extra. I got mine at $733, so definitely buy it on Amazon and not at the $1099 Dell's website is charging.
The monitor has a fan, but you can't hear it. I would not know this has a fan if I had not read that in a review, so don't let that deter you. I've held my head to the back of the monitor and cannot hear anything at all. Dead silent.
Zero bezels on this display make for an excellent viewing experience, and the monitor is very clean looking from the front with no crazy gamer in your face appearance. I like the minimalistic look that is presented here. Really premium look overall. There is minimal RGB lighting that can be fully disabled in the OSD or software, even the power button light can be turned off. The monitor itself has really good build quality, doesn't feel cheap or feel like it would break easily.
I'm not a fan of the Alienware stand, so I opted to mount this via the VESA mounting on my Amazon Basics stand. I wish it had the stand like an older Dell S2716DG that I previously owned. Dell, please take note.
The CONS:
The monitor doesn't have ULMB or any type of anti motion blur strobing technology. At this price point and with real G-Sync this is not acceptable. This is a HUGE miss and should be included or provided via a firmware update. Even a cheap AOC $180 monitor I had included a backlight strobing feature. Dell needs to provide a firmware update to fix this as I see no reason this monitor can't do it.
10-bit color cannot be used at 240Hz, then why advertise the monitor as 10 bit? This is also a huge mess up, and again something that needs to be fixed via a firmware update.
I'm not a console gamer, but apparently the monitor cannot output a proper 4K signal over HDMI for next gen consoles which is also a nasty oversight for anyone hoping to use this monitor for that purpose.
Hopefully these issues can be addressed with firmware updates soon.
Overall:
I love the monitor, will be keeping it as it checks most of my boxes and really is a phenomenal monitor even with some of the CONS listed above and I got it for a reasonable price. But I really wish some of the cons I listed could be addressed.
The monitor is incredible and, if it hadn't been for the two stuck/dead pixels (stuck at green), then this would have been easily 5 stars.
Pros:
- It's incredibly crisp and smooth, with a clarity almost indistinguishable from 4K
- Playing anything on it is butter, assuming you have a PC that can push 240 frames at 1440p; I would choose this over 1080p/360Hz any day of the week.
- The physical design of this monitor is stunning; thinnest bezels and chin I have ever seen on any monitor. The bottom chin is so thin that it doesn't even have any branding or logo. If you mount this on a monitor arm, you'd have to look behind the monitor in order to figure out what brand it is. I love it.
- Gets bright as hell for a monitor.
- IPS glow is not bad, but I don't typically operate on all-black screens.
- All the I/O you could ever want; bunch of USB passthrough and audio passthrough.
Cons:
- If you're not using a mount, the stand on this thing (though stylish) will take up a lot of desk space AND push the monitor closer to your face than you would probably want.
- No built-in speakers...if you care about that sort of thing. There's a reason why the chin is so thin. If you can afford to buy this monitor, then you can afford to spend $15 on some USB speakers.
- It came with one dead pixel.
- It came with another dead pixel.
- An $1100 monitor came with two stuck/dead pixels.
Review will be updated if the replacement is acceptable.
