The Alienware AW2523HF is a 25″ monitor with a 1920×1080 resolution (90ppi) and a fast IPS panel that delivers a 0.5ms GtG response time and sRGB 99% color coverage. Of course, what stands out most is its blazing fast 360Hz refresh rate. At 1080p resolution, you don’t need a super powerful graphics card to get frame rates that can take advantage of this high refresh rate. On the Nvidia side, an RTX 4070 Super, RTX 5070, or RTX 5070 Ti will definitely be enough depending on the game you play. Connectivity wise, the AW2725DF has both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs as well as some USB ports.
Monitors with high refresh rates are great for games that feature consistently fast and/or twitch-like movement, like first person shooters, sports games, and fighting games. It’s definitely more of a niche gaming monitor than an all-purpose monitor, although it’s certainly capable enough to be used as such. A competitive esports gamer or anyone who plays challenging games that require quick reflexes would be the target audience for this type of monitor.
