27" Dell Alienware AW2723DF gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Dell AW2723DF is a relatively new monitor. The Dell AW2723DF has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The monitor has a VESA mount. In terms of pixel density, the Dell AW2723DF has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Dell AW2723DF has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For the average response rate, the Dell AW2723DF scores 7.6 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. For graphics color quality, the Dell AW2723DF has an excellent color depth of 10 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Dell AW2723DF has a maximum refresh rate of 280 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The brightness of Dell AW2723DF is significantly better than other monitors. Dell AW2723DF has a total input lag of 16.1 ms, which is bad among the competition. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1020 : 1. The minimum response rate of Dell AW2723DF is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects.
