The monitor is excellent, and the quality is great. I had a 165Hz monitor before this one, and there is a noticeable difference with the 180Hz. There are loads of customization settings. The price is fair for the level of quality, good investment if you're looking to upgrade.

Don’t walk, run to buy this. Amazing build quality for the price with high refresh rate and 1440p display. I play FPS games and this monitor is a massive step up from my previous 1080p display. Tons of settings to toggle with if you want to customize, Alienware software is easy to use.

The monitor is exactly what you'd expect. It's bright, the backlight is uniform and no dead pixels to speak of. The refresh rate and response time are amazing. G-Sync works right after installing drivers from the manufacturer's website with my NVidia card. The build quality is solid. I've wall mounted it so can't speak to the stand, but it looks solid as well.

I bought two of these and have no complaints, the colors are vivid and 1440p is a nice jump from 1080p. For the price and the 180hz refresh rate, this is a great pick for gaming on mid-tier gaming rigs.

Amazing value at the price point. The monitor has great features like a built in 2 port usb hub and having an integrated power supply makes cable management super easy. Image quality is also great with almost zero black smearing and ghosting on the ufo test which makes it awesome for gaming. At this price point, you can’t go wrong with this monitor.

Alienware AW2725DM — 180Hz of Pure Perfection!”

After upgrading to the Alienware AW2725DM, I can confidently say this is one of the best gaming monitors I’ve ever used. Everything about it feels premium — from the design to the performance — and the jump to 180Hz at 1440p is genuinely mind-blowing.
The 180Hz refresh rate makes everything ridiculously smooth. Even compared to 144Hz, you can feel the difference — motion is more fluid, aim tracking is effortless, and gameplay feels instantly more responsive. Combined with G-Sync and FreeSync compatibility, there’s zero tearing, no ghosting, and every frame lands exactly where it should.
Then there’s the 1440p QHD resolution, which hits the perfect sweet spot between sharpness and performance. Games look stunning — crisp details, vibrant environments, and realistic textures — without killing your GPU like 4K can. The Fast IPS panel brings accurate colors and great viewing angles, so whether you’re gaming, editing, or streaming, it looks fantastic from every angle.
The display supports VESA DisplayHDR 400, which gives an extra punch of brightness and contrast for a more dynamic image. It’s not OLED-level HDR, but it adds noticeable depth to visuals. The 95% DCI-P3 color coverage makes it solid for light content creation or photo editing, too.
Build quality is classic Alienware: sturdy stand, sleek design, and adjustable in every direction (tilt, swivel, height, and pivot). The backlighting adds a subtle premium touch without being over the top. Setup was quick, and the on-screen display menu is clean and easy to navigate.

This is a fantastic display for the price. It has a great response time, decent refresh rate, and good options for inputs. The cable pass-through on the stand makes cable maintenance pretty easy, too.

I bought this monitor to pair with my brand new
PC build, and in my eyes this is absolutely a great choice to purchase for a mid to high end PC build, and it is not an extreme price either. I was unsure of purchasing a monitor, worried the one I bought wouldn’t fully embrace my highish-end PC, and/or have to increase my PC budget by a lot more to get a decent monitor. I’m so happy to admit my Nvidia 5070 RTX GeForce GPU/OVERALL PC works absolute wonders with this monitor and its G-SYNC compatibility. Super easy to change settings, and of course the resolution/refresh rate is superb. Does come in dark blue which was unexpected, but it matches my set up perfectly.

For the price you can't beat it. Got it on a sale for the holiday weekend and it was marked down $30 from its full price. For a 2k QHD monitor that checks all the boxes for screen quality you can't beat it. This does not have speakers and does not have RGB lighting which is why the price is lower and more competitive. Currently I have it hooked to my MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro via the DisplayPort-USB-C cable and it's functioning correctly in clamshell mode with the lid shut. The dell 3 year basic warranty is nice too for peace of mind. Only thing to know is the display arm and back of the monitor is blue in color and not all black. This is hard to tell from the photos but not a big deal...only can really see it when the sun light or artificial light is shining on it. Overall I would recommend.

Very happy with this purchase! I'm using the monitor with my Raspberry Pi 5 as an external display, and it works perfectly. The image quality is sharp, and setup was simple and quick.
The monitor was delivered by FedEx and unfortunately the factory packaging was damaged during shipment. However, the factory packaging protected the monitor from any harm. Thanks to that, the monitor arrived in perfect working condition with no internal damage.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance and value, and I plan to purchase another one in the near future.

Got it to use with my Xbox and it works amazing! It runs in 1440p at 120 hz on my series X. Picture quality is fantastic. One thing to keep in mind, it does not have an audio out or speakers. So if using on a console, you’ll need headphones or an hdmi audio extractor for speakers. But I use gaming headphones so that’s not an issue. Also, set up was VERY easy. Highly recommend!

Pleased with the "lean" design

A well-rounded, well-priced monitor. It has all the features that matter: decent panel, all the necessary ports, 10bit color, a sturdy functional stand, the standard array of settings in the ocd, ability to update firmware etc. -- and none of the experimental/gimmicky fluff to bloat the price.
And because it's a 2025 model, all the core features actually work the way they're supposed to (there is a bit of a bluish tint to the screen out of the box, but it can be fixed by adjusting the settings).
The exterior design is similarly satisfyingly minimalist and "lightweight". It'll fit any spot in a multi-monitor setup.
It's a solid 27" IPS 180Hz monitor, and the price seems to be spot-on for what it is.

This is by far the best monitor at 27" below a $500 price tag. If you shop it on sale it can be as low as barely over $200, like I did. The colors and clarity are great, and the depth of field seems to really be an improvement, but the Alienware software to customize your use really sends it over the top.
The extra USB's on the monitor do require reading the installation manual, but if that is a down side, I am not sure if that should be counted.
Lastly, do follow the instructions on assembling the stand to the monitor, working in an IT department somewhere else, it is good that Alienware points out how to not break your monitor removing from the box.
