ASUS VG246H vs Alienware AW2721D

THE BAD -> There's just 1 con, but doesn't prevent me from giving this 5 stars. First, the color accuracy = garbage. Experiment with the profiles until you find one that works well for you. Overall, low response time and high refresh rate (even if it's just a tad over 60Hz) gives you productivity benefits that are great for more than just gaming but also office productivity

We test monitors with a Datacolor SpyderX Elite colorimeter, a Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays' CalMAN 5 software.

Hope to get refunded soon it's taking alot longer than other returns tying up available money.

I'm using a VESA certified KableDirekt DP 1.4 cable and two high end HDMI 2.0 cables, very tight and unnecessarily crowded port area, there’s plenty of space to spread them out more. - Noticeable overshoot in MS Office, web browsing (text) and other apps when using the faster or higher response time setting, sometimes noticeable during gaming as well, you are left using the slowest setting, fast

Upon install, it took a bit of tweaking to get my system to recognize the 75Hz refresh rate (out of the box it was attempting to connect at 60Hz). Had to go into the OS and set it. One other issue is that the box that it arrived in looked like it had been opened. The clear tape, which usually seals the top flap of the box was missing (although it did not look as though the tape had been pulled up)

What is up everyone, it's Mark from Silence Tech and hope you're keeping well. Dell very kindly sent out their Alienware AW2721D which features an IPS...

I love the size. It . This is my experience using a gaming laptop imagine if you already have a gaming pc. You will not regret it

Only issues: 1) Monitor Stand is massive - will have to buy a monitor arm (any recommendations would be appreciated) 2) My box was damaged, missing DP Cable in the box (not Dell's fault). 3) Very inconvenient cable placement, you must take off the removable back panel and swing it around to connect, while this might not be an issue for some, with such a big stand and not a lot of desk room, it is a bit of a hinderance. But it does look clean, so this CON depends on the user. 4) Alienware Command Center cannot locate the monitor (not a big deal, I didn't buy it for the lighting features anyway, but it could be a problem for some gamers) 5) The stand pushes the monitor very forward, not a deal breaker, the monitor arm will fix this issue but from the back of the stand to the front of the monitor, it is around 9 inches, which is a problem if you have a narrow desk

I was able to tuck it behind my desk with no issues. Dual HDMI ports make it ideal for connecting both my PS4 and Xbox One, so I was able to ditch my crappy HDMI switcher. - On top of all the functionality, I think it looks really good. Small bezel with a robust, angular base and a handy (albeit small) cable management hole

The whole thing is much heavier than i expected, although this allows it to be very sturdy, and while the majority of the outer materials are plastic,...
