We will talk a bit more about that later in the review. The screen has actually even been awarded the ‘NVIDIA G-sync Ultimate’ certification, which is their top tier level, although something that has recently been relaxed it seems. Dell have also made use of the still-popular and beneficial NVIDIA G-sync hardware module (“Native G-sync”) for the AW2721D, offering reliable and verified variable refresh rate (VRR) performance, variable overdrive to control response times nicely and super low input lag. This will be the first 1440p 240Hz IPS panel we’ve had chance to test, and a few screens with this spec are now starting to appear in the market. This model features a 2560 x 1440 resolution, that should be very familiar to 27″ monitor users, but this time combined with a native 240Hz refresh rate – something that has until very recently been limited to only 1080p IPS displays. We have recently reviewed the largest model in their Alienware range, the new 37.5″ ultrawide AW3821DW, and we have with us now their latest 27″ offering, the AW2721D. Dell’s Alienware line-up of displays has become very popular in the last few years.
