This article covers Alienware AW2524HF ゲーミングモニター.
Overview
The Alienware AW2524HF is a 24.5-inch gaming monitor built for competitive players who demand the highest refresh rates. Its headline feature is a blistering 500Hz overclocked refresh rate (480Hz native), paired with a Fast IPS panel that delivers 0.5ms gray-to-gray response time in Extreme mode. This combination offers both the speed of TN panels and the superior color reproduction and viewing angles of IPS technology. Resolution is 1920x1080 (Full HD), making it ideal for esports titles where every millisecond counts. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium and is VESA AdaptiveSync certified, ensuring tear-free and stutter-free gameplay. With sRGB 99% coverage, color accuracy is solid for a high-refresh-rate display.
Connectivity & Compatibility
Video inputs include one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0 port. The 500Hz overclock mode is only available via DisplayPort. A built-in USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub provides four downstream ports (one upstream USB-B). The stand offers full ergonomic adjustments: height, tilt, swivel, and pivot. VESA 100x100mm mounting is supported for arm or wall mounting. The monitor comes with a 3-year Advanced Exchange Service and a premium panel replacement policy that covers even a single bright pixel.
Product Info
Released in June 2023, the Alienware AW2524HF sits at the high end of the competitive gaming monitor market, prioritizing raw refresh rate above all else. Its street price is around ¥150,000–¥160,000 in Japan, which is typical for a 500Hz-class monitor. In the box you get a DisplayPort cable, HDMI cable, USB upstream cable, power cable, and quick-start guide. The three-year warranty includes Advanced Exchange Service, meaning Dell ships a replacement unit before you return the defective one.
Best Use Cases
This monitor is first and foremost for competitive FPS gamers playing titles like Fortnite, VALORANT, and Apex Legends. The 500Hz refresh rate provides an edge in fast-twitch scenarios where split-second visual clarity can determine the outcome of a fight. It's also a great fit for users who want both speed and decent image quality. The Fast IPS panel offers noticeably better colors and viewing angles than TN alternatives, making it suitable for occasional media consumption and everyday desktop use. Finally, marathon gamers will appreciate the TUV ComfortView Plus hardware-based low-blue-light solution, which reduces eye strain without washing out colors like software-based filters often do.
