Reviewer score 66% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Alienware AW2720HF is a 27-inch IPS panel with a blazing-fast 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and compatibility with both FreeSync and G-Sync. Even though the display is just 1080p, this sort of panel doesn't come cheap. In games, the appeal has trade-offs. The sharpness of the monitor is a little too low for us to want to read or write a lot of text on it.
Pros
- Super-fast 240Hz refresh rate
- Wide viewing angles and anti-glare coating
- Solid build quality
Cons
- No 3.5mm jack
