This seems like overkill.

At what point does the refresh rate on a monitor become too high? Can you even see the past difference 240Hz? Or 144Hz? Alienware thinks we could go higher and that 500Hz is"the new category of speed" for gaming monitors. Considering that other brands like Asus ROG are also launching theirAt CES 2023, Alienware revealed its latest gaming monitor, the AW2524H, the company's first 500Hz gaming monitor.

Design-wise, the AW2524H is going with a smaller hexagonal base, rather than the two jutting feet that it currently uses for, so it'll take up less space on your desk—a welcome design choice. Alienware is also ditching the RGB ring that's typically on the monitor's spine but adding a retractable headset hanger. Fair trade, if you ask me.

Other features include G-Sync support, VESA Display HDR 400, and Nvidia Reflex Latency Analyzer. More importantly, it's got half a dozen USB ports which all gaming monitors should have. There's no getting around the fact that this thing is built for competitive gaming, where speed matters and nothing else. So unless you have a burning desire to play Valorant or CS : Go at the highest speed imaginable, 500Hz might be overkill for anyone else. If you want size, picture quality, and a fairly speedy display, check out the AW3423DW,The Alienware AW2524H is expected to land in North America on March 31, and in China on February 8.
