Model overview based on user reviews
The Dell Alienware AW2721D 27" monitor is highly praised for its clarity, 240Hz refresh rate, and QHD resolution, making it an excellent choice for gaming and photo work. Users appreciate the heavy and adjustable stand, as well as the G-Sync Ultimate feature, which enhances picture smoothness. The monitor's HDR 600 and 1ms response time are also highlighted as significant advantages. However, some users report issues with backlight bleed and glow effects, which can be distracting, and note that the 240Hz does not work with 10-bit color. The absence of a VESA mount and the bulky stand taking up desk space are additional concerns. Despite these drawbacks, the monitor is recommended for its high color rendering and overall performance, though its high price is a point of contention.

240Hz, 27", QHD. The stand is heavy, wide, and sophisticated, allowing you to adjust it however you like. On a bright background, the images/colors are excellent. The backlight bleed and glow effect are disappointing. The backlight bleed isn't strong, but on a black background, it stands out and amplifies the glow effect. Every time you notice it, it annoys you and almost negates all the positives. I also suspect that backlight bleed may occur when the panel is installed in a frameless case because the panel is inserted unevenly. The left, top, and right edges of the panel are recessed into the case by a millimeter. The bottom edge in the center protrudes forward by half a millimeter beyond the case. The response time setting is only on the weakest mode; otherwise, the image flickers (overshoot). It also creaks and snaps with temperature changes. Every time you turn it off and it cools down or when you heat the room in winter. It snaps so loudly that you worry it won't turn on the next time. There is no VESA mount. Because of the bulky stand, it takes up a lot of space on the desk. I have it on the windowsill next to the desk.  Andriy: use Dell Alienware AW2721D few months |
I bought it for myself on February 4th at 4kmonitor. Happy as an elephant =). There are highlights, but not critical 240 Hz; NVIDIA G-Sync Ultimate gun; The 1 ms response is very cool, but for this I had to buy a Dp-Dp cable with triple shielding and the picture does not crumble into pixels. In AAA games this kind of response rules; color rendering at a very high level i haven’t found it yet, because, as I wrote earlier, the lights are not critical |
Good monitor Its clarity TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Chasing refresh rates over 180Hz doesn't really make sense. I could have gotten a monitor 10,000 cheaper...
