Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Alienware AW2725DM 27" IPS LED QHD monitor is a great monitor offering from Dell's Alienware lineup. A QHD (2560 x 1440 resolution) LED monitor that makes use of IPS technology to avoid some of LED's shortcomings and it actually looks amazing! With a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time as well as being FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible makes your games look and run great. The monitor features an integrated standard VESA mount allowing you to easily mount this monitor in whatever way works for you which is great and should be universal on all monitors without having to buy an additional accessory. My only issue with the VESA mount is that there is a decent amount of the frame in the way so depending on how you attach the VESA mount you may need to use spacers. This is a very minor complaint and in now way affects my opinions on this monitor, as I still think this is an amazing monitor, but I feel like it is something to be aware of. Overall, this is a great monitor that looks and plays amazingly and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a monitor. The picture quality is great, the response and refresh times are perfect, and it looks great aesthetically making this a great choice for anyone looking for a monitor.

This has been a HUGE upgrade to my gaming setup and is my first dedicated gaming monitor. In the past I would use TV monitors and I thought it was fine until I tried a monitor that was built just for gaming! The price of the monitor makes it a can't miss deal for me! My son realized the difference as soon as he turned his xBox on and he's asked why we didn't upgrade to an Alienware sooner. The colors POP on this and it's so much quicker that my old monitor! When I opened the box assembly was pretty easy! I attached the stand to the monitor in a few seconds connected the power cables and HDMI cable and BOOM I'm ready to roll! Fired up my gaming system and a collective "ohhhh" came from my kids as they watched and noticed the difference in the clarity and colors! The brightness, refresh rate and speed is perfect and you truly cannot go wrong with this monitor at this size and at this price! I'm not sure how much better they can get with a higher price point, but I will say that I will be looking for Alienware monitors going forward!

I have a few monitors on my desk. I have a 14" in portrait mode for my security cameras, I have a Alienware AW2724HF 27" and a 32" as my main screen. Adding the Alienware AW2725DM 27" Gaming Monitor really puts the cherry on top of my setup. I find it easily compares to my ASUS - TUF 31.5" LED WQHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor. The color profile, the brightness, the response time all sync up very well when mounted on top of last years Alienware 27”. The connection options are nice as well and Alienware / Dell included all of the cables for HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C. The monitor easily connected to my monitor arm for proper placement. I have found that games such as Fortnite, Rogue Squadron and Halo look great on the screen while movies and video calls are crisp and clear. Text is just about perfect for me and scrolling the web is relaxing with the balance between size, brightness and contrast. I will gladly be suggesting this monitor to others in a work from home environment or casual gaming.

This is a surprisingly good monitor. When I was selecting this monitor, it said that it was an IPS panel. I thought it wouldn't be a very good monitor and was worried about color accuracy. However, this is a fantastic monitor. I have a tri-monitor setup: an IPS FHD 165 Hz on the left, an OLED QHD 480 Hz in the middle, and (now) this IPS QHD 180 Hz monitor on the right. Its color accuracy is surprisingly good, even next to the OLED. Its 180 Hz refresh rate and QHD resolution mean that I can even use it for gaming or watching videos at higher resolutions. It also has HDR and DRR (Dynamic Refresh Rate), which is nice to have. Its also has Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync compatible. This ensures that screen tearing does not occur. The response time of this monitor is also relatively low, at an average of 1 millisecond. Overall, I'd recommend this monitor for anything looking for a decent resolution monitor at a higher refresh rate. It's various features and fantastic specs make it a great option for gamers.

TLDR: Alienware 27” gamer screen has superb 2560 X1440 IPS resolution, tilting, swivel & pivot (portrait) use, arrives with DP and HDMi cables, uses 25 watts, 1 millisecond response, solid base, cable management, VESA arm ready, great contrast for gaming or other use, web, spreadsheets, email. Base: This is a solid monitor without any of those shaky, flimsy slight vibration causing bases; this model is solid. The included base snaps into the monitor back with no tools required. It allows tilt up and down adjustment, raising or lowering the monitor, and pivoting around to use the monitor in vertical portrait mode for both gaming or use in long web page or word processing mode. Wires/Ports: Alienware supplies both a single HDMI cable and a single DisplayPort cable. There are 2 HDMI inputs. Also included is a 5gbps speed USB-A to USB-B upstream cable for activating the other on-board USB ports There is also a USB-A downstream port which supplies power for charging devices of 2 Amps as well as a 2nd USB-A downstream port with no power delivery. There is a normal 120 volt power cable (no power brick that creates a falling or containment issue). Display quality: These specs are from the Dell user manual: VESA AdaptiveSync Display certification minimizes graphic distortions like screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother, fluid gameplay. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible Certified. Supports AMD FreeSync Technology for tear-free, stutter-free, low latency gaming. VESA DisplayHDR 400. Color gamut of DCI-P3 95%. My conclusion: This Alienware monitor produces superb picture quality with no complaints in any regard when using it with gaming my laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU circuit. The flat display surface is matte anti-glare. There are no internal speakers nor is there an audio output port. The lack of a port won’t detract much from the superb visual performance but it would have made connecting a speaker system easier and neater. It is still recommended.

Alienware - AW2725DM 27" IPS LED QHD 180Hz 1ms FreeSync and G-Sync Gaming Monitor with HDR (HDMI, DisplayPort). Oh the size! I completely love it not to big or small the color is awesome make some adjustments and it was perfect to my taste. Even with the low blue light solution it helped with less eye strain without taking away from the color. Images are nice clear and sharp. I was effy about the stand size at first thinking due to the small size the screen would not be sturdy but it was perfect not cheaply made. It comes with 1 power cord, 1 HDMI cable two HDMI slots, has slots for one USB Type-A and one USB Type-B, a joystick slot and a security lock slot. How really like how the ports are neat and straight across the bottom middle back of the screen with cable being all face down for an easier better look & on the display stand it has a slot to put the wires through to make it look even neater. Has a 4 millisecond response time with an LED screen. It isn’t touch screen but for me not a big deal, what is a big deal kinda it does not have a speaker! It also doesn’t have a webcam which I don’t care about but just in case someone does for the cost of the screen you would think they would have come built in, would highly recommend purchasing it’s perfect.

The Alienware - AW2725DM 27" IPS LED QHD 180Hz 1ms FreeSync and G-Sync Gaming Monitor with HDR is a great monitor at what I consider to be the perfect size. There are plenty of other larger monitors available on the market but I am a firm believer in the idea that 27” monitors like this Alienware AW2725DM monitor hit the sweet spot when it comes to monitor size, especially if you are like me and plan on using your monitor for both work and gaming. One of the things that I was pleasantly surprised by when first setting up this monitor was just how small yet sturdy the stand is. It is also tiltable and height-adjustable which really comes in handy when trying to find the perfect angle for your setup. As for connections, this Alienware AW2725DM offers the following wide variety of ports: 2x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, 1x USB 5Gbps Type-B upstream port, and 2x USB 5Gbps Type-A downstream ports (one of which includes battery charging). Having both HDMI and DisplayPort connections is nice, and I especially like the inclusion of the two USB ports, making it easier to add additional peripheral devices. Included in the package are the power cable, an HDMI cable, DisplayPort cable, and USB Type-B cable. One of the things that expands the functionality of this Alienware AW2725DM even further is the fact that it is both FreeSync and G-Sync compatible. This means you can take advantage of advanced features that help prevent screen tearing in fast-paced games and all of the other benefits that come with FreeSync and G-Sync technology regardless of whether your system uses AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards. As for performance, I am very happy with this monitor. The QHD resolution (2560x1440) coupled with the 180Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time (1ms gray to gray response time) results in a high-quality picture no matter what I am using the monitor for. Overall, I am very impressed with the Alienware - AW2725DM 27" IPS LED QHD 180Hz 1ms FreeSync and G-Sync Gaming Monitor with HDR and I highly recommend it!

I got this monitor to go with a recently gaming pc that I built. This monitor is amazing and is great for gaming. The Nvidia G-Sync works perfectly. The display is smooth, the backlight is great. No issues at all with setting this monitor up for the first time. It was easy to set up and connect to the pc. The menu is easy to navigate and configure everything to what your preferences are. There are no speakers on this monitor, but as with most gaming monitors, there aren't any, most gamers are using headphones to listen to their games anyways. As with most items from Alienware, this monitor is a little more expensive than some of the other monitors available on the marketplace today. But, the quality is there, as is typical for Alienware. The build quality is superb with no issues found on this monitor. Be sure to dial in this monitor to the game that you are playing, the colors are superb, crisp, and clear. This monitor has 2 HDMI ports, 1 DisplayPort, 2 type A USB ports and 1 type B USB port. Overall, I am impressed with this monitor and will be playing games on it for a long time to come.

This is a WONDERFUL monitor! I've used a variety of standard HD (1080p) monitors, and I've used a 34" Samsung 4k monitor, but 27" at 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for productivity monitors (I'm not much of a gamer, but the clarity of the image is fantastic as well). I do have an LG Omen which was about $700-800 originally as well, and I must say that this Alienware monitor is very comparable for about 1/3 of the price. I can say that the clarity of the image/text is just slightly less than the LG Omen, but still absolutely usable for productive work and reading text at 1440p. Very clear and easy to read, but just a quarter-step behind the LG. For the refresh-rate, this is honestly more dependent on your computer. I'm using a Surface Go 3 at the moment, and any monitor maxes out at 144 Hz refresh rate. From that perspective, there is absolutely no difference between this and the LG, so spending extra money on a monitor that can go to 240 Hz is absolutely not necessary. If you do have a dedicated gaming rig, it may be worth considering, but the science is honestly still out on whether the human eye can perceive the difference between 144 and 240. This is a great monitor, and if you're even considering the LG Omen, I'd say you're better off getting two or three of these with a docking station and setting up a full command center rather than a single monitor. :)

Alienware does it different with the slick design and great feature

For the price this monitor is good. Got it $50 off and use it with my Aurora R16 with a RTX 5070. Specs are solid. Only thing i dont like is it has no rgb lighting on the back compared to the older model that did. But its not a big deal. From shooter games loke Fortnite to story games loke The Last Of Us everything looks great on it. So far so good.

It was amazing to use for the beginning (both gaming tv and for movies) The only downside is that if you are playing something with 120 fps it will change to it anytime you open or close that application but apart from that it is good.

Great monitor and easy setup! Easily Adjustable height and connected seamlessly to my docking station

Unboxing the new Alienware AW2725DM monitor was incredibly satisfying. The protective layers of wrapping showed images of how the three pieces should be connected - the riser clasped easily into the monitor before connecting to a base that allowed for a connection that did not need any tools. Thankfully, the base was a heavy metal base instead of an inverted “V” shaped base. Alas, the satisfaction waned from there. My first problem was that, after much troubleshooting, I found out that these monitors don’t have any speakers inside - even poor rudimentary speakers. I had to do a background check, but NONE of my older or newer monitors came without speakers. I am literally using an old monitor of mine for a bedroom TV/Netflix/Amazon display and I am using it without external speakers. Initial connection (HDMI) to several computers left me underwhelmed. Gaming and video aside, the image production looked dim, and inconsistent, and blah. Image brightness was always poor and, occasionally, simple monitor images like text looked imperfect. From that point, I needed to ask myself what value this new offering provided. I wish that OLED TVs and monitors might have suddenly dropped in price by 60+% or so but that is not the case here. Alienware, which is part of Dell’s branding targeted at gamers, is promoting this monitor on a ton of specifications: size, resolution, panel type, refresh rate, response time, adaptive sync, HDR certification, color gamut, contrast ratio, ports, and price. But price aside, Dell/Alienware has produced 27” monitors with nearly identical specifications for years now - so that begs the question of what, exactly, is this new release offering. Best Buy is definitely offering a cool price relative to earlier similar offerings from Alienware/Dell but it isn’t offering new features. And I feel like my own experiences with this monitor are sad: wonky unsatisfying straight images on some computers, lovely moving images that bordered on looking like IMAGES of moving images (unnatural), and I still don’t know how any monitor doesn’t come with even the worst speakers installed. My overall impression of this monitor is that it could be an adequate-to-sub-adequate monitor for standard business uses. It scores a little bit better with me on moving images, but the images feel overwrought and oddly fake to me. But I think that the most important consideration here is that Alienware/Dell is NOT offering a new device with crazy new features. It feels like they are pushing very old specs at a new price point. Very disappointed here.

Bought as part of a birthday gift for my son to start him into gaming on a pc

If inhad more better things to say about this i would
