Customer Ratings & Reviews

Alienware really hits it out of the park with this monitor. I love it.

Love the monitor thank you Best Buy . Now I came game with sons

Boyfriend absolutely loves it. He was a bit frustrated with an “expensive gaming monitor” but now he’s wanting all of our next ones to be Alienware

Love it. Absolutely a great entry level monitor. A+

Excellent product! Solid display and specs for the price

Beautiful display works well with my 7800xt for every game

Works great for playing playstation 5 graphics are great

It works great, has amazing quality. I just wish it had any way to use audio

Although, it looks great, but I returned it to the store because of the diabolical logo ( a demon logo )

Looks good, no burn in issue or display flicker. No dead pixels, wish there was hdmi 2.1 and an aux port.

It’s a good all around monitor it has good specs for the price point.

Came defected! As soon as we plugged it in, it had dead pixel, returned!

Well. Packed well. It was easy to set up and connect. So far so good

My daughter bought this and had to return it because it quit working. Spoke to geek squad and the gentleman who helped us said it was something internally not at all my daughters fault. He reimbursed her money and helped her purchase a new one and yes it was a different brand and she’s very happy with her new one. Now she can continue with her embroidering and get back to work on her orders. Don’t get me wrong the monitor worked awesome when it did work.

I've had this monitor for a couple weeks and really like it. It's colors are great, the menus and adjustability are easy and the stand is very solid and convenient. I'll start with the stand. It's nicely designed, easy to assemble and feels very solid. the swivel and height adjustments are very easy and smooth. The stand base is not overly large for this size monitor which is nice, it's definitely on the small side without compromising being sturdy. I plan on using a Vesa mount and that is nicely located behind the stand. Should be easy to mount. The colors on this monitor are great. They're bright and accurate. The refresh rate is definitely nice for gaming and the g-sync was working smoothly on my 3060. I have been very happy with this monitor so far. The back of the monitor is a blue/navy color which I haven't seen on a monitor before but looks nice. The Inputs are well located and easy to access. Having USB ports on the bottom of the monitor is also very convenient for my setup as my desktop is remotely located in another room. This gives me a couple extra ports without having to run more extension cables or splitters. I think 1440 is a great resolution these days. I have a couple 4k monitors and they are great but the difference in visible resolution between a 1440 and 2160 is very slight, and the other use who wears glasses cannot really even tell a difference. The gap between 1080 and 1440 seems to be much more noticeable and visible by everyone. I don't think I'll ever by a 1080 monitor again and don't know that I'll spend the money on a 2160 monitor unless it's 32" or larger. Overall I would recommend this monitor. The size, color rendition, and resolution are all very nice.

The Alienware AW2725DM monitor is a great budget gaming monitor for 1440p gaming. Max refresh rate is 180 hz with the display port. This monitor supports Vrr and has multiple response time settings for gaming. The monitor can reach 600 nits in SDR. The monitor will also do HDR but it is a little less bright about 400 nits max. If you use the HDMI on a PC it can only do 144hz at 2560 x 1440. On a gaming console outputting 4k the monitor will downscale to 1440p but at only 60 hz. I found the panel looked great gaming with my Nvidia card at 2560 x 1440, the brightness and response time was excellent using the gaming settings and fast response time settings. There is a dark stabilizer to enhance black levels while gaming. The monitor has DCI-P3 95% color coverage and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification making all those colors accurate and bright. The new 360 degree ventilation keeps everything cool while gaming. The supplied Alienware stand is really good. It has height, x and y rotation allowing you to get the monitor in just the right position. There is a cable management channel in the stand. The base is small and does not take up a lot of room while being very stable. The monitor has 1 DP1.4 ports HDCP 1.4 & 2.3 supporting up to 2560 x 1440 @180 Hz, HDR, VRR), 2 HDMI 2.1 ports (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3 that support up to QHD 2560 x 1440 @ 144 Hz, 10 bit, TMDS, HDR, VRR), 2 USB A ports in the built in hub one supports charging. Power is input with a standard pc power cord and there is no power brick needed. The ips panel has wide viewing angles. The semi-matt coating decreases reflections without decreasing sharpness like full matt coatings on other monitors. The monitor is good for general purpose office use but text is slightly blurred making it a better choice for gaming rather than office use. This is a great monitor for console gaming and will do Vrr with a PS5. Overall this is a great choice for 1440p (2560 x 1440) gaming if you are on a budget. Alienware has tweaked it to get the best out of this panel and the stand is very good. The Alienware AW2725DM is a solid budget-friendly option for 1440p (2560 x 1440) gaming. Utilizing DisplayPort, it achieves a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz, while HDMI on a PC limits it to 144Hz at 1440p. For 4K console output, it downscales to 1440p at 60Hz. The monitor supports VRR and offers various response time settings for enhanced gaming. Brightness reaches 600 nits in SDR and around 400 nits in HDR. In gameplay with an Nvidia card at 1440p (2560 x 1440) , the panel delivered excellent brightness and response times, particularly when using the gaming and fast response time presets. A dark stabilizer feature improves black levels. Alienware includes some gaming tools but I seldom use them. The included Alienware stand is highly adjustable, offering height and x/y rotation and tilt, along with a cable management channel. Despite its small footprint, the stand provides excellent stability. Connectivity includes two DP 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, and two USB ports in the integrated hub. Power is supplied via a standard PC power cord (supplied), eliminating the need for an external power brick. 1 Dp to Dp cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 USB Type A to Type B cable are supplied. Equipped with an IPS panel, the monitor provides wide viewing angles, and the semi-matte coating minimizes reflections without sacrificing sharpness. While suitable for general office tasks, text clarity is slightly compromised, making it better suited for gaming. It's also a good fit for console gaming, supporting VRR with a PS5. See the Table here for full support info for consoles: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000187148/dell-gaming-monitors-support-for-gaming-consoles In summary, the Alienware AW2725DM is a great 1440p gaming monitor for those on a budget. Alienware has optimized the panel performance, and the stand's adjustability and design is a significant advantage for a monitor at this price point.

I don't know if it is the screen or the cp not good for every day us might be good for a gamer best buy should have not recommended to me

Okay, so let me start by saying I am not a gamer. My son, however, is deep into all things gaming—and after his constant (and convincing) “suggestions,” we finally upgraded to this Alienware 27” monitor. I’ll admit, I originally thought it was a bit over the top, but now that we’ve been using it, I totally get the hype. Right out of the box, the monitor looks sharp—sleek black design, super clean lines, and the signature Alienware look. Even I think it’s cool. Setup was a breeze (which I appreciated), and it comes with both HDMI and DisplayPort options, which made it easy to hook up to both my work laptop and my son’s gaming setup. My son says the 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make a huge difference in his games. He plays everything from Fortnite to Call of Duty. He mentioned something about FreeSync and G-Sync reducing screen tearing—I’ll take his word for it. He has stopped complaining about lag and frame drops. I use the monitor during the day for basic things—email, Zoom calls, editing photos, and watching shows while I work—and I love the bright, clear display. The colors are rich without looking too harsh, and it’s big enough to comfortably split screen if I need to juggle tasks. The matte screen also helps cut glare from my nearby window. We watched a movie on it the other night, and the HDR really does make a difference—the picture was crisp and vibrant, almost like a mini home theater. The monitor doesn’t have built-in speakers, so keep that in mind (we already had a set of desktop speakers). It’s adjustable (tilt/swivel/height), which is great since we share it. If you’re a household that mixes work, school, and high-stakes gaming like we do, this monitor strikes the perfect balance. It’s fast, gorgeous, and totally future-proof. My son’s thrilled, I’m happy, and we’re both getting a lot of use out of it.

For my review of this Alienware - AW2725DM 27" IPS LED QHD 180Hz 1ms FreeSync and G-Sync Gaming Monitor which I rate 5 out of 5 stars. Out of the box the monitor is very easy to assemble. Simply attach the stand neck to the back of the monitor chassis and then fasten the monitor base with the thumbscrew to the stand neck per figures as shown. The monitor glides well on the stand, up and down, pivots left and right and finally rotates from landscape to portrait all with ease. Under the Alienware logo at the bottom of the monitor yields a multi-directional control button to aid in your video set-up. On the underside of the monitor, you will find a 1.4 DisplayPort and 2-HDMI ports, plus 2 USB ports. This monitor packs all the features needed for everyday use, graphics design, and gaming. The 27” display is good to use in confined spaces or to pair with another monitor for dual monitor use. This IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel type monitor allows for great color consistency along with viewing from extreme angles. The monitor brightness at 400 cd/㎡ (or 400 NIT) is great for use in bright rooms without the need for shades. The response time of 4ms combined with the max 180Hz refresh rate allows for non-competitive gameplay with limited blur or lag in typical gaming scenarios. The icing on the cake making this a monitor to own is the G-SYNC (NVIDIA Adaptive Sync), FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) features. A small caveat is the lack of a build-in WebCam, but many users prefer higher specs of add-on WebCams offering greater features. You cannot go wrong with this monitor and highly recommend it. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and it aided in your purchase decision.

The monitor came with screen burn out of the box and had to return.
