The Alienware AW2521HFLA gaming monitor is ideal for competitive gamers who need framerates that can keep up with their fast response times.<\/p>\n

At the current price of R7,999 on Evetech<\/a>, this gaming monitor will be a worthwhile long-term investment for anyone who competes at a professional level or is planning on upgrading to a high-end build in the future.<\/p>\n

Even if you have a budget or mid-range PC build right now, this piece of hardware can come in handy if you plan on upgrading to a high-end or enthusiast build in the future.<\/p>\n

The monitor\u2019s 240 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time ensures that your in-game performance won\u2019t be held back by an under-performing display.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Alienware AW2521HFLA has Nvidia\u2019s G-Sync and AMD\u2019s FreeSync technology baked in to ensure that you don\u2019t have to worry about any screen tearing or VSync-induced performance drops.<\/p>\n

The UHD 24.5-inch (62.23 cm) display makes this screen ideal for those of us who have smaller desks or whose mid-range PCs builds can’t push as many frames per second.<\/p>\n

This display has all the ports you would possibly need, including two HDMI 2.0 ports, 1 DisplayPort, and 4 x USB 3.0 ports (of which you can use one to charge devices).<\/p>\n

The monitor’s smooth angles and built-in cable management will make it a perfect addition to a clean, minimalist gaming setup.<\/p>\n

On top of that, the adjustable screen height and custom AlienFX lighting make you feel like you are gaming inside the USS Enterprise.<\/p>\n

Below you’ll find a table detailing the monitor’s specs and a couple of pictures showcasing its adjustability and custom lighting.<\/p>\n
