"I would go with Alienware AW2521HF, I tested and compared it with the Asus VG259QM and the input lag is lower / better, propably due to its uniqe hardware G-Sync Module / Scaler - which the other IPS models are missing"
In what way did you test this monitor? do you have special equipment for testing input-lag? or is this your subjective opinion?
From what I've read about this monitor
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/pr ... ors/specs/ it is freesync and g-sync compatible but not G-Sync.
I have no special equipment but i did a lot of tests, the processing time of the AW2521HF is really fast, e. g. it is more then 1 seconds faster back from desktop to a fullscreen game again then the Asus VG259QM.
The AW2521HF is actually a full G-SYNC monitor and it has definetly variable overdrive, you can set the overdrive setting to "extreme" and you has almost never any overshoot (still not on low FPS). So the nvidia page is wrong at this point, its only not certificated for what ever reason from nvidia (maybe Dell wanted to avoid the licence costs for the certification), but a hardware module should still be installed.
Btw "rtings" did a professional test on the AW2521HF and they wrote the following about the input lag:
"The Alienware AW2521HF's input lag is outstanding."

This has nothing to do with input lag, the time needed from switching desktop to a fullscreen game is related to many other sources.

Can you give me some proove there is a dedicated G-sync module installed inside the AW2521HF ?
"So the nvidia page is wrong at this point, its only not certificated for what ever reason from nvidia (maybe Dell wanted to avoid the licence costs for the certification), but a hardware module should still be installed."
It is certified but not as G-sync, do you really think Dell will take the effort and costs to install a G-sync module without the Nvidia G-sync certification, that makes no sense.
"Btw "rtings" did a professional test on the AW2521HF and they wrote the following about the input lag: "The Alienware AW2521HF's input lag is outstanding."
It's on par with the other new IPS generation panels and btw if you talking about "Rtings" don't you find it strange that if a G-Sync module is present rtings did not notice it.
If there is something like a variable overdrive present in the AW2521HF then it must be a specific Dell solution rather then a dedicated Nvidia G-sync module but very strange that they do not mention it.
I only respond because you recommand this monitor to others as a full G-SYNC monitor while there is no proove of this, be careful to not spread misinformation!
