Great monitor for the price. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing monitor. Almost 2 months with it and I have no complaints.

I use it for my ps5 pro and it’s amazing. If I had a pc I’m sure it would look even better. But over all great monitor so far.

Great monitor. Game changing image from the oled pixels display and a huge improvement

Awesome monitor. I have a G80SD but it has a matte finish. Wanted to see what a fully glossy qd-oled looks like. Doesn’t disappoint

extremely solid monitor works perfect for my pc setup

I liked it but decided on an ultrawide instead. Nothing against this monitor at all! Definitely worth getting for the price.

Very nice Oled monitor for the price. Highly recommend.

Great OLED for gaming . I think there are many out there that might be slightly better, but for the price this one is great. Just wish it was a regular black instead of a dark blue color. Dell's warranty is also probably the best you'll get for a monitor like this,

Super satisfied with my purchase. Great budget entry into OLED monitors.

Very good quality for the cheaper oleds good color

This Alienware QD-OLED Monitor with 280Hz refresh rate is amazing. It comes with many features, plenty of video input ports and included video cables that makes it very appealing gaming and video editing monitor. The first and most important part to mention is the colors that display very vibrant with no glare to speak of. The refresh rate is impressive, no artifact or shadows that my eyes can tell while playing FPS games. There is no glare to speak off even on bright since I have my set up close to a window. As for the features, it comes with several presets for gaming mode which automatically adjust brightness and contrast which make for easy changes. It also has two USB ports, one USB-C and one regular(A) which I use to charge my head set and watch. These are USB 3 ports. This monitor does not have speaker so it is not a stand alone gaming monitor, but this is not a negative. The design is nothing special though it has a nice curved design in for the stand and the back of the monitor. This, however, makes it look bulky when looking from the back. There are too many settings from factory to include in this review but it makes for a well worth it monitor for great gaming experience or video editing.

It stop working after 2 weeks and got a asu Rog instead

I am a big fan of OLED screens, both for media content, basic computing, and games. I have a larger 4K Alienware OLED screen, which is excellent but quite cumbersome on a smaller desk. I find the image quality of this unit to be identical to the quite expensive 4K 32 inch Alienware unit. The specifications are quite similar. The screen is factory calibrated and I have seen no issues with refresh rate or tearing. The unit comes with an above average stand and a pleasant dark blue Alienware color with minimal vessels. There is a built-in USB-C hub as well as two HDMI and one display port input. The 27 inch size and the 1440 vertical resolution allow almost any game to be played at high refresh rates with my Uppermid range gaming laptop. In a 27 inch monitor, the lack of curvature is in my opinion of benefit. The screen coating is also matte Which is different than many similar monitors and is excellent in a room with glare from windows or poorly positioned lighting. The onscreen display appears quite functional and I am hoping there will be similar multi gear support and firmware upgrades as has been the case for the older 4K 32 inch unit I own.

The Alienware AW2725D is a 27-inch gaming monitor that uses QD-OLED technology (an enhanced OLED screen with even better colors). It delivers stunning image quality and lightning-fast performance. It is an excellent choice for serious gamers who want premium visuals without paying 4K prices. The picture quality is beautiful, with OLED each pixel creates its own light providing near perfect blacks (unlike on regular monitors) and incredibly vibrant colors that fill the screen. The preferred resolution is 2560x1440 is perfect for gaming. The images are sharp and crisp but not so demanding that an expensive graphics card would be required. My gaming laptop with an NVIDIA graphics handled it just fine. This monitor is in a different league when it comes to gaming. The speedy refresh rate updates the screen 280 times per second, making motion silky smooth. At 0.03ms the response time practically instant. I notice no motion blur or ghosting, even during fast-action games. Whether I’m playing competitive first-person video games or racing cars, everything looks crystal clear. The design is sleek and sturdy with matte-black finish that looks sophisticated (looks a nice dark blue in the right light). The stand is compact, and sturdy and fully adjustable for height, tilt, and swivel. There are two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort. Plus, it features a USB hub for accessories (the USB hub can't charge laptops or accept video in). I can choose between two modes for HDR content (movies and games). (1) "True Black" for the most accurate colors, or (2) "Peak 1000" for extra-bright highlights that really pop in dark scenes. The only real negative with this monitor is its text clarity. It has nothing to do with the quality of Alienware products (which are outstanding). Instead, it has to do with OLED technology and how the screen pixels are arranged. I find that tiny text can show faint color fringing (hazy rainbow effect). As such I would not recommend buying this for working with text and documents. It's designed for higher-end gaming and web browsing. As with all OLED screens, there's a risk of "burn-in" if static images stay static on screen for too many of hours (i.e.m desktop icons). However, Alienware includes a 3-year warranty that covers burn-in, which should ease your mind. The monitor also runs special anti-burn-in techniques while operating (pixel shifting), and automatic screen maintenance when powered off. If you take care of this monitor, there’s no reason to ever experience burn-in. But all OLED screens will slowing lose color density and vibrance over time. Not unique to this monitor, that’s the price you pay for an OLED screen. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth it. The screen coating is semi-gloss which helps to display extremely vivid colors. But a semi-gloss screen sometimes reflects light sources, just avoid placing it opposite windows or lamps. Conclusion: The Alienware QD-OLED AW2725D is great gaming monitor at an affordable price. Five years ago, a monitor like this would have cost two or three times this amount. I prioritize performance and stunning visuals for my gaming monitor, for business (working on documents, etc.) I use a separate screen. Aside from text clarity, this is one of the best monitors I’ve used for gaming. It's built well, the screen is stunning, and it performs like a champ in games. If as a gamer you value motion clarity and image quality (and are willing to pay for them), then put this on your desk and start playing! If you are looking for dual use (gaming and work), I would advise against it. That's the gotcha. Text looks poor, jagged, blurry and I’d worrying about the long-term effect static text has on the screen itself. I am very pleased with it and will recommend it to friends.

I have been using a 4k gaming monitor since 2018 and thought I had a good screen until I plugged in the Alienware AW2725D. This monitor has changed my nightly gaming experience and it will hard to ever go back. Read on for my full thoughts. Unboxing: pretty straightforward essentially all I had to do is open the box remove protective cardboard, and Styrofoam screw the base on, and I was up. Set up was just as easy I plugged it in and I used a HDMI cord, one of which was included and plugged it into my PlayStation five. The monitor also came with a DVI cable included, and I will use that for my desktop computer. Out of this process, I was surprised to find that the HDMI cable and the DVI cable were included. This is not a normal thing. It seems like anymore, so not having to rummage through my thing or use my old issue my cable which needed to be replaced was quite convenient The screen quality: this Alienware is equipped with a 27 inch QD – OLED screen. This is a flagship high-quality screen, and as I stated it has changed my experience when it comes to gaming. The monitors are equipped with a high refresh rate 280 Hz colors are dictated by HDR, and the contrast is just superb. I typically play Call of Duty or battlefield lately. I’ve been playing battlefield and let me tell you everything is crisp clear and you’re definitely in the game. Of course I’ve adjusted my PlayStation for brightness and contrast, but I have to say this monitor really allows me to see what’s going on in the game. There’s no questions on if someone’s there in a dark scene. I have also noticed I do not get any type of motion sickness. I typically don’t, but if I played after a really long time or you know, I have a lot of eye strain you know I’ll start feeling not good but here the screen is just so clean and vibrant that it allows me to play for longer. Bonus: on the bottom edge of the monitor there is a USB a and USB-C type ports. This is the best feature I’ve ever seen on a monitor. They are actually powered. You don’t need any additional cables to power them. We can it’s powered right off its own power source, but I can charge my PlayStation headphones or controller. I already have a dock for my controller, so I’m actually typically charging my headset when I’m not playing it will continue to charge even when the monitor has went to standby mode or while gaming. I’ll actually connect it to my iPhone. My favorite thing about this monitor is the color of the physical monitor instead of being black, it is a very dark blue. It goes along with the Alienware theme and is a nice touch. It’s also not vibrantly blue so it won’t stick out in your room but when you said I’m close to it you’ll notice that it’s not exactly black. I really don’t have any negative comments about this monitor, and I really had to think hard to come up with one. The only thing that comes to mind is that there’s no internal speakers however this is quite normal for a monitor. Overall, I am highly impressed with this monitor. If you’re someone that gets motion sickness easily this is a no-brainer. You need to buy this monitor either for playing video games on your PlayStation or Xbox or on your PC. This is this is the way to go.

In terms of gaming monitors, everyone is looking for a competitive advantage. They want the fastest refresh possible leading to the smoothest image. They want no input lag which gives them the drop on other players. And they want all of that will an incredible image. With the Alienware QD-OLED QHD 280HZ Gaming Monitor, Alienware has hit all fronts. Out of the box, the set up is easy. It has everything you need to get set up. You get the monitor, monitor stand, and cables to be ready to go. Attaching the base is easy. There is base you need to assemble, but no tools are necessary. It only takes a couple of minutes. The monitor then just slips into place. There is some setup required. You will likely need to go through setting up your PC/Mac to have the right setting on the computer. The monitor is a 1440p with 2560x1440 resolution. The monitor itself has a bit set up. In all though, one can be running within a handful of minutes. As far as the performance is concerned, this has replaced all my other monitors as my PC gaming monitor. Games like FortNite, Rocket League, and Battlefield look amazing. The fluidity prevents any stuttering of the image. I am running frame rates that exceed the game’s own capability. And over time, I could have long gaming sessions without straining my eyes. One point I will say though is this is not a monitor for everyone. This monitor is powerful. IF you get it to plug up a PS5 to, it will just be overkill on the monitor’s part. The PS5 doesn’t have a graphics card that can really get the most of the monitor. The monitor will work fine with it. But to really get the benefits of such a power monitor, you likely want something with a much stronger graphics card and capabilities. I don’t want to push people off of this monitor though. This is the real deal. The Alienware QD-OLED QHD 280HZ Gaming Monitor will be a beast in any gaming environment. Quick response, incredible graphics, smooth-like-butter visuals, perfect color representations, and low strain on the eyes make this a perfect gaming monitor. This has replaced my other gaming monitor and is now the workhorse of my gaming sessions. I recommend it to all gamers.

27” ish (I’m rounding up and it’s close enough for me) is about the smallest I want a monitor now, however, the dimensions are just about perfect for up close gaming with a keyboard, if I’m using a controller a bigger monitor can be nice as you can sit further away, but the 27” definitely geared towards getting up and close with a keyboard and monitor with the entire screen easily within in my vision but big enough to really enjoy the details. That is where a better resolution display really helps, I still think 1080p is good enough for gaming on small screens but it seems like windows 11 just doesn’t function as well on 1080p as well as windows 10 did and this resolution just seems to fit everything like a glove from the OS to the screen size of this monitor. The colors really seem to pop, and the image is crisp. The responsiveness in gaming is spectacular and overall, this is the perfect monitor or two of them really for a desktop setup. The adjustable height is perfect for me to not even need a monitor stand though it is at the very top of the available range. Though I do sit tall, if you have a shorter desk or a like to have your chair a little lower, I think the monitor adjustable height will be more than sufficient for you, I also love how it can be turned 90 degrees without an issue. For coding or CAD I love a vertical monitor sometimes and this enables me to easily adjust the monitor for how I want it depending on m use cad. The monitor has to HDMI ports, a display port and a USB hub built in, the USB hub adds one USB A and one USB C on the bottom of the monitor for the cost of a USB A port on the computer, which is convenient for USB drives or maybe a headphone wireless adapter. I think the lighted power button is killer, I am always trying to remember where the power button is and this is the first monitor that makes it extremely easy to find. Overall, this monitor fits the bill for what I want out of a monitor.

This is coming from a first time owner of a new Alienware product... I have never hads anything Alienware and have always wanted to get one of they're gaming PC's but omg the price sticker can give you shell shock so to speak so when I saw this I jumped on it as fast as I could to get it . So far this monitor has out performed the other 27 inch that I have and is almost 10 years old which was also a brand that I have sttuck by for years. For being a flat screen monitor I'm surprised of how well the picture clarity is but being a QD-Oled it does make a differance it's like watching a OLED TV for picture and pairing it up which the newest CPU /Graphics cards that are out now makes it one of the best I have seen for gaming on a small monitoralong with the 0.03-ms refresh and the 280 Hz there's little to no tearing in the games I personally play. The big thing for me with this monitor is the fact of the refreshspeed and also being both Freesync/G-sync for those who use Radeeon or Nvidiaputting it togetherrr is about the same as many monitors out there easy to set up. The only con is the fact it's a flat screen so it mean's that I have to get used to a flat screen again lol I have gotten to used to a curved type with that being said yes I'm picky when it comes to that but that's meand yes it works with my set up and will being an asset to the games I play. It's a 100% get for either gaming or for a work station in my opinion

The Alienware AW2725D display is another great addition to the Alienware monitor line up. With a 2K QHD display running at 280 hz refresh rate it does not sacrifice performance for quality in any way. After playing multiple FPS games, and doing lot of production work including video editing, color correction, and photo editing I realized this monitor far exceeds the expectations I had for it at first. The design is sleek and built well. It doesn’t feel like the aesthetic of the screen was an after thought in any way. Talking about the Input/Output this monitor boasts multiple USB outlets for data transfer and power output. Naturally a solution to help declutter anyone’s desk setup at home. The data rates are stable and I didn’t experience any input loss when testing it. Don’t be surprised though when I tell you this monitor can draw plenty of power. This monitor draws 25 watts operating nominally but if you are pushing every feature and IO at full brightness it can draw up to 120 watts. Overall this monitor functionally works great for gaming and creative professionals alike!
