The Alienware AW2720HF is a good monitor for most uses. Its 27 inch screen is great for gaming, media consumption, and productivity.

  • High refresh rate
  • Wide viewing angles and low input lag
Cons
  • Sub-par contrast ratio
  • Mediocre black uniformity

Reviewers from techradar have found:
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
