This Alienware AW2725Q is one of the most feature-rich gaming monitors you can pick up, with a dazzling QD-OLED panel, 4K resolution and a super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate across a smaller 27-inch screen.

Will waxed lyrical about Samsung's new 4th-gen QD-OLED panel that graces this Alienware screen and its brother from MSI, praising its immense colour accuracy, contrast and the deep, inky blacks that are typical OLED. In my review of this AW2725Q, I had similar sentiments, measuring especially deep, inky blacks and solid dynamic range, alongside some lovely detail from a 4K resolution and responsive 240Hz refresh rate. Of course, with these specs, you do need a beefy PC to maximise its specs.
The only downside of the AW2725Q is peak brightness, as has been typical with other OLED monitors, sitting at around 250 nits by Dell's reckoning and in my testing. Nnonetheless, peak HDR brightness can be up to 1000 nits with this screen in a small window, and you get the added benefit of Dolby Vision, DisplayHDR400 and HDR10 for even more pop in supported content, providing a decent range of HDR standards. This new panel type brings the benefit of a higher pixel density (166ppi to be precise) to allow for much clearer and sharper text. Both Will and I have noticed this in our respective reviews and testing of the MSI and Alienware options for different outlets, which makes it an effective choice for productivity loads as much as for gaming.
The move to 27-inches also benefits those who wish to use the AW2725Q for more intensive, competitive gaming, as there's less screen to focus on against a larger 32-inch option, while competitive players can also benefit from the near-instant pixel response times found with this panel type. VRR support is also plentiful with Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and even VESA Adaptive-Sync all being present. This means that whatever GPU you’re using, you won’t experience any screen tearing or juddering for a smooth experience.
The AW2725Q benefits from a huge selection of inputs, including a pair of HDMI 2.1 FRL ports for the full 4K/240Hz grunt, with one of those ports featuring eARC capabilities if you want to hook up external speakers or a soundbar. It also comes with a DisplayPort, as well as a three port USB-A hub controlled by the USB-B port, while further forwards is a USB-C port that can provide up to 15W of power delivery for charging a phone or similar implements. It is a bit of a surprise that there isn't a higher wattage USB-C port or a KVM switch, though - key rivals offer one or both of these if that's a vital feature for you.
This Alienware option also looks fantastic with its deep black chassis, complete with small illuminated Alienware logo, as well as a smaller base to make it easier to fit on smaller desks. The stand also offers solid adjustment with height adjust, tilt and swivel. You don’t get any portrait orientation, unfortunately. What's more, its OSD is easy to navigate with plenty of options for game modes, HDR standards and more.
If you want to grab a new feature-rich 27-inch QD-OLED monitor for a fantastic price, you won't want to miss this last minute Dell deal on the Alienware AW2725Q.
