Alienware 360hz worth it for better color alone?

Post by xdomegalul » 30 Dec 2020, 17:45

Currently own a 144hz tn panel and can push around 240 frames. It seems from reviews that 2521hf 240hz has slightly worse srgb coverage and contrast. Setting aside motion performance and latency do you think the new panel might be worth it for better image overall ? My goal is to have the best picture possible without sacrificing too much performance and I want to have a single screen that’s good for single player games as well as online. I only see discussions around the difference in competitive performance but do you think the newer panel might be worth it for colors and contrast ? Right now I can get 2521h for $300 more compared to 2521hf. I’m not too crazy about 1440p 27 inch options and they are more expensive anyway for 240hz 1440p

RLCScontender, how is the panel uniformity of your monitors? Is there any chance you could take a picture of a black screen with the lights off the show them off? The reason I ask is because I see that on rtings the black uniformity was poor.

How fast is the AW2521H on od fast setting? i'm asking becource I have the asus xg258q and the od settings from 0 to 2 looks fine, but too much input-lag, od from 3 to 5 feels great but looks really awful (unplayable)

I like the zero ghosting some say the alienware has, but is it fast enough at that fast od setting?
I dont want to buy another monitor the same kind of problem I have with my asus.
