My first gaming monitor @ 2k purchased under $200.00 before black friday 2025 $189.99 just $10 more than black friday price. I had purchased this monitor over Samsung G5 $199.99 and LG $189.99 due to detail spec, other monitor had offered display port 1.4 but hdmi 2.0. The AW2725DM has 2.1 hdmi port and 1.4 display port. Using display port bring max 180hz, if purchased a 2nd monitor using hdmi port would have been 144hz with my pc setup. Over all I'm happy with this purchase. I'm a gamer who finally graduated from console (Playstation) to having a Legion Go to building my first Gaming PC (before the rise from He11 prices again from AI)

Great monitor with HDMI and Display Port. 2K screen is sharp. It is IPS so no ghosting at all. Recommend using the DisplayPort it is superior to HDMI. I haven’t experienced any bugs. The menu system is super convenient as you don’t need to stop what you’re doing to open some clunky menu. No onboard audio, but that is ok by me.

I always thought i prefered TV gaming but i love playing on this monitor. I bought it for PC but have been enjoying it for Ps5 way more. 120 works perfectly for ps5 games and makes games look great on quality mode. Very happy with the brand yay

For those who want short and quick answer: Go see it in person on display and mess with the user interface. The display is at 60Hz at 1880p so imagine what it’ll look like when fixed properly to 1440p @ 120hz. For more detailed stuff: Pretty solid for PS5 Pro at 1440p @ 90hz—120hz just make sure you use a “certified” HDMI 2.1 cord. If you use any random HDMI 2.1 cord that does not say “certified” you’ll get unstable 78hz—88hz during actual gameplay. I run BF6 on 1440p with 90hz—110hz during actual gameplay and when on the lobby screen at 120hz. Every other game stays stable at 60Hz. It will offer a downscaled 4K @ 60Hz. Settings I use on the PS5 Pro are in photos to achieve what was mentioned above. If you’re looking for a solid portable gaming monitor that is decent, not too expensive, has pretty decent build quality in comparison to Acer and Asus, and you are willing to give up a few options then go with this. Ultimately I have no complaints. I was willing to compromise and in reality it’s not a bad monitor. Pros for PS5 Pro use (in my opinion): - Not too expensive to replace as far as a monitor goes that offers entry level HDMI 2.1 - 1440p @ 120hz max - Feels pretty durable if you take care of your stuff and not just toss it around - Monitor backing/housing color is okay - Entry level HDMI 2.1 port (not the full experience, look into HDMI 2.1 ports on google) - Supports VRR - Customizable RGB settings - Joystick (center bottom of screen) for monitor user interface menu Cons (most I was willing to compromise with): - ALLM does not work with PS5 Pro, only VRR works - No internal speakers - Edge bleed - HDR setting with PS5 Pro is too dim, it looks better and brighter with HDR off.
