Is 360Hz worth it over a 240Hz monitor?

Only if your GPU already pushes well past 240 frames per second in the games you play. Below that, the extra refresh headroom goes unused.

Does it work with Nvidia graphics cards?

Yes. It supports VESA AdaptiveSync, so Nvidia cards can use variable refresh over DisplayPort. AMD cards get FreeSync Premium.

What resolution and size is the screen?

It is a 24.5-inch 1080p panel. That keeps frame rates high but is less sharp than 1440p at this size.

Is the panel good for anything besides gaming?

The Fast IPS panel covers 99% sRGB with wide viewing angles, so office work and video look fine. Contrast is the weak point for dark-room viewing.

Yes, it supports HDR, but without local dimming the effect is subtle rather than a true HDR experience.

Our take on the Alienware AW2523HF Gaming Monitor

The Alienware AW2523HF is a 24.5-inch 1080p gaming monitor built around speed rather than resolution. Its Fast IPS panel runs at 360Hz with a 0.5ms GtG response time, backed by AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync to cut tearing and stutter. It covers 99% sRGB and supports HDR, so colors hold up across wide viewing angles. It suits competitive players who want the highest frame rates on a 1080p card; buyers wanting sharper 1440p or deeper contrast should look at other panels.
