[Employee of bestbuy] Great quality panel, the contrast is perfect, and the brightness is something else to consider being an OLED display. It is awesome how you don’t get one layer of OLEDs but 2 layers to get the good brightness and contrast. Also, the resolution is stunning. That 4K at 240Hz is a game changer. It looks so amazing it makes you want to have a tv that looks like that. The only con there, I think, is that if you have a regular led tv watching it after watching this monitor is going to be like you’re watching an old tv

This Monitor Blew my mind with how good the colors are and the speed of it. I’ve tried other oleds and the 4k resolution is the way to go! As long as you check your panel health every couple hours I don’t think i’ll have burn in ever.

I recently bought an Alienware monitor, and overall it’s pretty nice. The picture quality looks really sharp, especially for gaming, and everything feels smooth and responsive. The colors can take a little tweaking at first, but once you dial it in, it looks great. The design is clean and feels premium too. Overall, I’m happy with itit does exactly what I wanted for my setup.

This monitor replaced an older 4K monitor and I can't believe the improvement of clarity, color and smooth animation. Nicely packaged and easy to set up.

Dude this thing is a blast. I downgraded from a 34” and this was perfect. Second Alienware monitor I’ve owned and I’ve never been disappointed. I play a lot of apex and the 240hz 4k makes me realize how bad of a player I really am lol. Great screen. Also surprisingly bright, like I play in a smaller room with dark walls and this thing lights up the room with the Oled like crazy.

I've been wanting this monitor for a good while. Waited for the early holiday sale and I missed it, but thankfully my local Best Buy had it available on early holiday sale too. Pulled the trigger immediately and I couldn't be happier. It's not the best 4K OLED monitor on the market but on sale, the value is great, and it's amazing. Love the colors, the deep blacks... It just really pops. Absolutely love gaming and watching videos on this monitor. Highly recommend this if you can get it on sale like I did.

Its a good monitor if you have the power to use its full potential. A few items were lose inside the box but everything else was good. Easy set up. It is like looking at your phones screen assuming you have a modern one. Only lighting is the logo on the back and the power light which can be customized and even turned off. The included app to control the monitor from inside windows makes switching resolutions and settings a breeze. Something I didnt know I needed was that usb c under the monitor, it is top tier, charges phone fast, can use my dex on it, can use my headphones on it. Deep "is this thing even on" blacks and even brighter colors. Not sure if worth the price of a whole PC but with the current market I cant blame it too much.

This gaming monitor stands out with its 6 hdr settings that sets to different outlook but the best one is the 1000 peak brightness is the best. Dell also has a 3 year burn in warranty, also their customer service is excellent. I love playing my ps5 with this monitor and would use this monitor for the long run maybe when I get my ps6

This things a beauty! Vibrant with silky gameplay.

I was in the market for a brand new monitor— i did notice the quality of Alienware laptops when I went into Best Buy, here at Chicago in the South Loop location. I decided on an Alienware laptop back in October 2025 and I decided to score this nice Alienware, oled, and most importantly not that big. A medium, nice range at 27 inch monitor. There is a price tag on this thing, but I mainly focused on the same hardware that I’m using at the moment. Perfect for playing Claire Obscure, Expedition 33. Such a great game; glad it won 2025 GOTY.

Looks amazing. Perfect for every game. FPS, RPG, Racing, Single player & etc. I am amazed every time I turn it on.

This monitor is so nice. The colors pop and my games look great.

Was surving on peasant pixels til i came across this monitor. I love the configuration, I can change the colors of the lights in the front and back by downloading thier software. I also can change the resolution in a really cool way for gaming.

Love that the picture is spot on, use it on my series X

A perfect gaming monitor for a ps5 or a gaming pc, nothing like alienware

Great monitor, very clear makes gaming at it's best.

Fantastic picture. Looks incredible. Super powerful. No regrets

Best monitor i ever owned oled is no going back you will not regret this, i buy alot of unnecessary tech,this is necessary

Alienware / Dell - AW2725Q 27" QD-OLED 4K UHD 240Hz 0.03-ms FreeSync and G-SYNC Gaming Monitor with HDR (HDMI, DisplayPort) The Alienware / Dell AW2725Q Monitor has a 26.7″ viewable screen with a 4K UHD resolution, which results in a high pixel density of 166 PPI (pixels per inch). As a result, you get plenty of screen space with sharp details and text. It has a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz, which provides a significant boost in motion clarity compared to standard 60-75Hz displays, and a slight but noticeable increase in responsiveness compared to a 144Hz display. With a low input latency of around 0.03 ms, there is an imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen. The 4K resolution delivers detailed and crisp images, and it has very good reflection handling if you want to use it in a bright room. However, it doesn't get bright enough to combat intense glare. Delivering remarkable picture quality with deep, inky blacks in dark rooms, no blooming, and small highlights that stand out against the rest of the image. This is not only a great Gaming monitor but it is excellent for content creation and everyday use. Alienware has overcome one of the most significant problems with some OLED monitors: its text clarity is fantastic. The Case comes in Interstellar Indigo, which looks black unless the angle is just right, with the lighting just so. A joystick is located underneath the center of the bezel, controlling the display settings, including various RGB setups, and a power button is positioned on the right side. The provided connectors include a Power Connector with a standard computer 3-prong plug, an HDMI 2.1 FRL port with eARC, an HDMI 2.1 FRL port, a DisplayPort, a USB 5Gbps Type-B upstream, three USB 5Gbps Type-A downstream ports, a Security Lock slot, and a USB-C 5Gbps downstream port with Power Delivery up to 15W. The Monitor stand has ample tilt, height, and swivel adjustments. It's easy to adjust to your preferred position, and it stays in place well once you do. Under where the stand mounts to the monitor are (100x100mm) VESA mounting holes. The monitor was easy to put together; it took me less than 10 minutes with no external tools. It is lightweight, weighing in at 14.9 pounds with the stand. The plastic casing feels solid and premium, with no obvious issues in its construction. I compared the same OLED test video between the Alienware monitor and my other 4K gaming monitor, and you can see the richer colors and basically no glare by comparison. The color vibrancy and refresh rate make it nice for games like ARC Raiders, since it feels easier to spot things from a distance. And the horizontal viewing angle is very broad, allowing good guest views. It also feels more relaxing on my eyes to watch videos from the new Alienware monitor. The Monitor has a graphite-film heatsink within its panel layers to help dissipate heat and prevent burn-in, and it has a hump to the back of the monitor where the stand mounts with a silent fan inside to help keep the monitor cool. Alienware also injects the monitor with some AI functionality; an enhanced AI algorithm regulates the electrical current on a per-pixel basis to maintain image uniformity and extend display health over time. The Pixel Refresh cycle helps reduce the risk of burn-in. You can start it manually or it runs automatically after every four hours of usage or when you put the monitor to sleep or turn it off. Included with the monitor are: • DisplayPort cable • HDMI cable • USB-A to USB-B cable • Power cable • Cleaning cloth • Alienware sticker Alienware / Dell - AW2725Q monitor is a very nice Gaming monitor that will also fulfill your other computer needs.

Usually, I’d lead up to the big reveal by going over all the other features of this monitor before jumping to PQ and gaming performance…but why not just get the good stuff on the table right away? Bottom line: the Alienware AW2725Q provides a drop-dead gorgeous 4K image and will run all the way up to 240Hz–presently, you’re going to have a hard time finding any graphics card that can push that many pixels at 240+ FPS clocking in at south of $2000. A minor issue may reduce the degree to which this monitor is future-proofed for advances in video card hardware, but overall, the Alienware AW2725Q knocks just about everything out of the park in what you would want from a 4K gaming monitor. For the more in-depth discussion…I already have two other Alienware monitors on my desk, a 38” curved 3840x1600 IPS at 144Hz and a 27” 1080p IPS at 240Hz. Presently, I run both off an MSI RTX 4090 via DP. Both monitors provide exceptional performance and, IMO, stunning picture quality. Then the AW2725Q comes along…4K OLED running at 240Hz without giving up G-Sync? Yes please! Other gaming-oriented and premium specs include super-fast 0.03ms grey-to-grey response time, Free-Sync Premium Pro and VRR, 99% DCI-P3 color space coverage, and a staggeringly dense 166 pixel per inch. It took me a while to get used to a flat gaming monitor again--the curve of the Alienware AW3821DW has me spoiled for in-your-face immersion. BUT, at close range, the super-dense 3840x2160 image of the AW2725Q was simply incredible--decidedly more detailed, more vibrant, more colorful, crisper and more refined than the much larger 38” monitor, and of course, MILES ahead of the picture on the 1080p unit. So…what about the OLED panel technology…is it worth the hype? Based on my experience, if you care about image quality and vibrant colors that leap off the screen, picture detail, and liquid-smooth onscreen action; incredible color reproduction that seems to exceed what you can find in nature; and inky, infinitely dark black levels--where ‘black’ actually means the total absence of all other light and color—yes, in my opinion, the OLED-based picture of the AW2725Q is almost indulgently outstanding. As an added bonus, the panel is not only certified for DisplayHDR400, but Dolby Vision as well, making it suited for use as a small 4K video monitor as well as for a gaming PC or console. Now, some might fault the OLED panel for its inability to hit higher brightness levels. For example, my 38” Alienware monitor is rated HDR600, routinely producing about 640 nits peak brightness. The AW2725Q is rated at HDR400 and turned in around 465 nits peak brightness. There is a higher “HDR Peak” mode that can supposedly hit 1000 nits, but it uses the panel’s automatic brightness limiter which can sometimes go a little schizoid with frequent brightness changes depending on how many bright elements are on the screen at any one time. Personally, I found the frequent brightness changes at the HDR Peak setting to be distracting. BUT, it’s important to remember that high screen brightness is basically like a flashlight shining in your eyes, especially in a darkened room. To my eyes, the OLED-based AW2725Q set at HDR400 or Dolby Vision picture reproduction had a FAR more vibrant image than my other Alienware monitors despite not being quite as blindingly bright as either of them…something I personally found appealing when using the monitor at very close range. The screen itself is reflective rather than matte-finished…this adds to the sense of color “pop” on screen, but glaring overhead lights or nearby lamps will be reflected quite dramatically in the panel’s glass, so take stock of where you plan to use the monitor for your rig. In terms of physical design and connectivity, I’m actually fond of the deep blue colorway; it’s a nice departure from the lunar white of most of Alienware’s lineup over the past few years. Other branding is minimal except for the showy RGB alien logo on the back. The RGB lighting can be adjusted (or even turned off) using the monitor’s own controls, or via the AlienFX lighting app. The stand has a nice small footprint that is far more desktop real estate friendly than the HUGE boomerang-shaped stands of my other two Alienware monitors. The mount supports swivel, pivot, and tilt, and you can raise it high enough to run the monitor in portrait mode. The back panel sports a VESA 100 mount pattern so you can use it with a monitor arm or other wall mount if you want. On-monitor connectivity is plentiful. There is one DP port and two HDMI ports, probably for a use case like two consoles, or a console and a UHD player. One of the HDMI ports has eARC/ARC passthrough for a Dolby Atmos signal so you could conceivably use the monitor with a receiver or Atmos-ready soundbar. There are also USBs-a-plenty with 1 type-B 5Gbps input and 3 5Gbps type-A outputs…there is also a 5Gbps USB-C port that can provide up to 15W of power delivery and data transfer, but it doesn’t support video over USB-C. Bezel size is mercifully thin; they are visible along the top and sides of the screen. There is a single RGB-lit power button in the lower right and a 4-way joystick under the middle of the frame that makes menu navigation SOOOOO much more intuitive than trying to translate a row of horizontal buttons into vertical up/down navigation actions. This is fortunate because there are a LOT of menu options to pick from. You’ve got the basics like input switching, picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture controls for viewing two sources at once, various controls for sharpness and different levels of HDR and Dolby Vision enhancement (bright, dark, game, etc.), and an all-important OLED-panel maintenance function that can run automatically during standby or can be started manually at any time if you’re concerned about preventing burn-in (there’s also a 3-year warranty and some other anti-burn-in technologies built-in to help ease your mind). Picture quality and color controls are plentiful with preset modes for various contexts (FPS, MOBA, RGP, Sport, Digital Creator mode, a “warm” setting for a bit more reddish tint, and other usable memory slots for custom color profiles), as well as “Alienvision” enhancements for things like gunsight or FPS overlays, on-screen timers, and dark stabilization that improves visibility in low-light scenes. Overall, there really isn’t much here that should give you pause. I did notice just a HINT of (typical) OLED flicker when using variable refresh with a few games that proved a bit too taxing for my 4090 to maintain a steady framerate, but using a framerate limiter or turning off VRR eliminated the issue entirely, and if you’re not sensitive to the flicker (it can be very subtle), you might not even notice it at all. It IS a shame that the monitor is limited to DP1.4 rather than sporting a more future-proof DP2.1 port; this technical design choice hobbles potential 4K performance to a maximum of 120Hz, so you can only make use of that 120Hz of additional overhead for gaming at lower resolutions. That issue aside, I am a believer–the Alienware AW2725Q produces a remarkably dynamic, detailed, and ultra-smooth OLED image that should satisfy anyone with modest to even reasonably high 4K gaming aspirations; the vibrancy and pop of the colors, crispness of text reproduction, all measured against the fidelity of a truly black background is a simply beautiful thing to see. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!
