If you want to upgrade your gaming experience without a new GPU,
we’ve got an amazing deal for you today. Dell is selling the 24.5-inch Alienware AW2521H 1080p, 360Hz G-Sync monitor
for $450. That’s more than half off the $910 MSRP, and
significantly less than the $800-plus you’d normally spend
on a ludicrously smooth 360Hz display.
This monitor isn’t very big at just under 25 inches, but the key
advantage here is that super high refresh rate. It’s not that
common right now, but we’ve had the chance to try out other 360Hz
monitors and we’ve found that the visual advantages are well worth
the investment.
The almost tactile smoothness of a 360Hz refresh rate can’t be
overstated, we said in our test of Nvidia Reflex with a 360Hz monitor.
From games to mousing around the desktop, everything runs like
butter…Playing on a 360Hz IPS monitor is simply sublime. Everything
feels so smooth. To get that higher refresh rate you need to hook
this monitor up to your graphics card over DisplayPort.
This Alienware is quite a dramatic shift from, say, a 120Hz
monitor and well worth the money for frame rate snobs. If you’re a
competitive esports gamer, the smaller screen size is actually a
benefit, as it’ll allow you to easily keep every one of those
ultra-fast pixels in your sight. On top of all the visual
advantages you get from the refresh rate, this monitor also
supports Nvidia’s G-Sync technology for syncing up refresh rates
with Nvidia GeForce graphics cards.
Once you’ve used a 360Hz display, it’s hard to go back to
anything else. The smoothness can’t be overstated. Competitive
gamers with unspent GPU money burning a hole in their pockets
should definitely check this deal out.
