Review: Jack of all trades, master of some. - Simply an excellent purchase - even at this moderate price point it shows fantastic value. I use this monitor for gaming, movies, and photo editing. Thus far it has been flawless in every setting. Image quality is generally very clear - it's sharp, with punchy but natural colours and above-average contrast for an IPS display. Colour accuracy is really good out of the box - I use a calibration tool to get a neutral color balance and only needed to reduce the blues by 5% on my specific unit. I can't say I noticed the difference. The factory calibration is adequate and the report for it comes in the box. The HDR, however, is sub-par (the local dimming is poor) but I personally rarely use HDR, so this isn't a dealbreaker for me. Response times are incredible - ghosting is minimal and Input latency is very low. All of this at 1440p, 280Hz makes for an incredibly immersive gaming experience in all genres. As generic as that sounds, there is no other way to describe it. Highly recommended. UPDATE, September 2025: 14 months after purchase (June 2024), the monitor developed a dead vertical row of subpixels that appeared on the right third of the panel. I contacted Dell support and they sent me a brand new replacement unit free of charge. I have had no issues with the new unit so far. I still stand by my original review, but the longevity of this model, whether it differs between each unit or not, should be noted.
Review: The Alienware AW2723DF: Epic Gaming Brilliance Amidst Package Pilfering Drama! - The Alienware AW2723DF has seamlessly integrated into my gaming setup, offering a visually captivating experience that effortlessly balances competitive gaming prowess with casual gameplay enjoyment. This monitor has quickly become an essential component, enhancing both the intensity of fierce battles and the relaxation of more laid-back gaming sessions. The AW2723DF's sleek design and vibrant display immediately catch the eye, contributing to its overall visual appeal. Whether navigating the challenges of competitive gaming or immersing oneself in a leisurely session, the monitor's consistent performance and stunning visuals amplify the gaming experience.

This enhancement not only elevates the overall aesthetic of the game but also deepens my appreciation for its visual intricacies. However, it is crucial to address an unfortunate aspect of my purchase journey. Despite initially placing an order through desertcart, the package never reached me and was regrettably stolen—a misfortune exacerbated by the involvement of a third-party courier notorious for its long-standing poor reputation, even after rebranding and changing its name. This unexpected setback prompted the need to place a direct order from DELL as desertcart refunded me for the lost package, which I can't thank them enough for. Despite the challenges, the efficiency and responsiveness of DELL's customer service played a pivotal role in swiftly resolving the issue, this did require me to order directly from DELL's website instead. In conclusion, the Alienware AW2723DF emerges as a commendable choice for gaming enthusiasts, seamlessly catering to both competitive and casual gaming preferences. Its visual prowess, particularly in enhancing games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, makes it a standout investment.

### ⭐ Update: I take it all back, false advertisement, avoid this monitor
*by M***M on 20 February 2023*

UPDATE: Take my previous review with a pinch of salt. There are serious issues with this monitor when used with Gsync, and it is likely the reason that this monitor was never listed as being officially compatible. It will likely be fine with AMD cards, as they also work better with DSC anyway. For Nvidia users, if you want to use this monitor to it's full potential like I have tried to for this past year, then you'll have to make compromises to achieve 10bit colour and a high refresh rate. The monitor DOES NOT WORK correctly with DSC (Display Stream Compression), which is the only way to enable 280hz regardless of 8bit/10bit. I've attached a couple of videos showing what happens in any graphically demanding scenario when the connection speed is at 280hz. This also happens from 200hz onwards if you have 10 bit enabled, as this forces DSC by default. The only way to maintain 10bit colour is to limit the monitor to 190hz. Yes, you have to limit your monitor to 2/3rds of it's capability if you have an Nvidia card. With DSC enabled, something as simple as moving a window around your screen shows stuttering and strange artifacts, something similarly observed on 144hz 4k monitors that also use DSC. The serious artifacts only occur in demanding games. I've managed to play all day on Halo Infinite at 150-200fps average with 280hz enabled with only a couple of artifacts the entire time. Switch to something way more demanding like Remnant 2 and New World, and out they come to play. It's very scene depandant, but something like NW has large open plains full of details, it rears it's head constantly. The only other possible fix I can think of is to try a HBR3 cable, which should in theory increase the bandwidth enough to avoid DSC altogether at around 240hz or slightly lower at 10bit. While technically you could argue that the advert for the item is telling the truth, i.e. it is gsync compatible and 280hz... just with massive caveats. It's dishonest to not list the limitations of the display. Buyer beware, but then again this is Dell, we know what we're doing by trusting the Apple of the Windows world. _________________________________________________________________ OLD REVIEW Unless you want to pay double for a mini LED monitor (at which point why not go OLED?), this is the pinnacle of current 1440p IPS monitors. Extremely colour accurate out of the box for both sRGB and DCI-P3, 280hz on the desktop is beautiful but from the few games I can actually run at 1440p/280fps (HiFi Rush is an amazing example of this, even on my lowly 3060ti) it's fantastic. Another big draw for me was the lack of branding on the front in addition to the ridiculously svelte bezels. It's arguably the cleanest looking monitor around currently, and the casing plastics are all of very good quality, including the magnetic cable tidy.
