Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great budget monitor for people getting into OLED. Great looking monitor but some small little things. It's glossy so the glare will be pretty bad if you have a window or bright light behind you. Another thing is that it's easily finger printed and dust/spit can put little dots on it (as seen in the picture). It's only noticeable when the screen is black so make sure you have a microfiber cloth and some distilled water handy. Other than that I've been so addicted to games like Destiny 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and more beautiful games. Would definitely recommend!

It has a very sturdy, adjustable monitor stand that doesn't ever shake or rattle, noticeably better than the second monitor I have in my setup. The picture on it is gorgeous and settled in quite nicely, I didn't end up even calibrating it, and the glossy finish is a really great choice on it that works quite nicely. The only slight issue I've noticed on it is that there is a very very small, slight flaw in the film that looks like either a darker or lighter patch, but it's completely unnoticeable during normal use- I only noticed it while running color tests- and just one of those individual manufacturing variations.

I was a little sketch at first because it was super inexpensive for an olds monitor but Alienware really showed up with this monitor! The picture is gorgeous and looks just as good as my 1800 dollar monitor. I would totally buy another one if my desk space allowed it! Keep in mind though, this monitor does not have built in speakers but most modern oleds don’t anyhow. Overall amazing monitor and I don’t usually write reviews but this is a crazy good deal on a beautiful monitor

Very good monitor, maybe not the best brightness but still amazing for the price. 240hz 1440p and 0.03ms

This monitor exceeds my expectations! The graphics and refresh rate is exactly what I was looking for. The oled is great!

Going from a standard led 1440p monitor to an OLED is an insane transition that is absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for an OLED monitor with mount breaking the bank this is your absolute best option.

It is the first OLED monitor I ever had and so far I like it a lot. I bought it because of the OLED black levels to watch 1080p or 4K movies and I am happy with the quality of the monitor. I uploaded a photo to this review, keep in mind, I took that photo from my iPhone pointing at the screen. It doesn't look as it is a photo of a monitor. The movie was paused while taking the photo. I went to YouTube and started playing city driving tours and earth aerial views in 1440p which is the maximum resolution of the monitor and the image clarity is outstanding.

display quality is great being the price and entry point for oled. it is on the dimmer side but nevertheless great quality picture

Not even a gamer reviewer or anything like that just a regular person telling you this monitor is insane. Colors are so vibrant it actually surprised me when I first turned it on. 240hz makes everything look smooth as butter. Wish I bought this sooner honestly. Stop reading reviews and just get it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

when i bought my pc, i walked up and down the aisles looking for a monitor i wanted. im not big on the really large monitors, and a lot of 240hz monitors are still stuck in 1920x1080. then, for a much better price than i expected, i saw this monitor and immediately grabbed it. extremely crisp, looks amazing, has what feels to be 0 input lag, is light, stands stupid easy to assemble, 0 complaints.

Would definitely recommend this monitor , the oled is amazingly black and the gloss really shines. Great budget friendly option to get into oleds

This monitor was a as the title says a massive upgrade from my almost 8year old TN panel. Reflectiveness is not an issue in a bright room along with windows directly behind me. Very happy with my purchase .

Great Monitor. Great 1440p experience with Oled. Significant difference over IPS. Recommend it for gamers

I purchased this for my son. A super upgrade from a LCD gaming monitor. Fast and a pleasure to the eye.

Awesome gaming monitor! I love it! Crystal clear and I can see everything.

Beautiful view every day at work now with this monitor. Helps my eye strain so much!

Alienware - AW2726DM 27" QD-OLED QHD 240Hz 0.03ms FreeSync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor with HDR (HDMI, DisplayPort) – Black The Alienware AW2726DM doesn’t have USB ports or internal speakers, but it does have premium-level gaming performance. It features a 27-inch QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) OLED panel with Quantum Dot technology, covering over 111% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is slightly above average. The color accuracy is decent straight out of the box, and it can be further improved with a quick calibration for better image fidelity. A 240Hz refresh rate combined with a 0.03ms response time provides ultra-smooth motion and clear visuals without blur. Yes, it truly has a 0.03ms response time, which is amazing. For responsive gameplay, AMD FreeSync™ Premium, G-Sync Compatible, and VESA AdaptiveSync ensure tear-free and stutter-free gaming with any modern GPU. Brightness is one thing that is sacrificed. The monitor has a rating of 400-nit peaks in HDR mode, SDR topped out at around 200 nits. You still get OLED’s perfect blacks, though with stellar contrast. Alienware selected a glossy, highly reflective finish that enhances color saturation and boosts perceived brightness. However, in rooms with abundant sunlight or normal light, it produces significant glare, to the point that it might serve as a mirror. Even with a light source in a dark room, the glare is still distracting. You might see some fringing when comparing to higher-resolution 4K displays. Fringing on a monitor is when unwanted colored outlines or "halos" appear around high-contrast edges, like black text on a white background. As a result, some Word documents and web pages may not appear as sharp as you'd prefer. Build quality is solid and easy to assemble. The base and upright mate with a captive bolt, and you’ll need to find the four screws and use the included tool to attach the panel. It comes with a combo Phillips-head hex key that I have seen used for mounting and adjusting red dot sights, which is pretty cool. The stand for the AW2726DM supports tilt and height adjustment, and it can be rotated into portrait mode. The mount is 100mm VESA compatible. The power supply is internal. Included are an IEC cord and cables for HDMI and DisplayPort. The input panel features a DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC) and two HDMI 2.1 ports, supporting consoles with VRR up to 120 Hz. To achieve the full 240 Hz, use the DisplayPort. Additionally, a 3.5mm headphone jack is included. A small joystick on the back right activates a quick menu, while pressing up opens the full On-Screen Display for adjusting settings. While playing several action games, I noticed no motion blur or breakup of finely detailed textures. For daily tasks, the display was exceptionally sharp and smooth. Although a 27-inch QHD screen has an ideal pixel density of 109 ppi, it's sufficient to hide the dot structure at a viewing distance of 2 feet or more. This is a good monitor for its price, but I feel it is not as bright as I would prefer, and it is not backlit. The highly reflective surface has glare issues to the degree that it could almost be used as a mirror.

I'm a sucker for good deals on OLED monitors, plus it was time to replace one of my monitors, so I was excited to pick up the Alienware 27" QD-OLED monitor for my gaming setup. For this review, I'm testing this with an Alienware gaming build, sitting side by side with an ultrawide curved OLED of similar specs.  TL:DR - The monitor feels like it outperforms its specs, I have it side by side with an older OLED QHD monitor, and even though the specs are similar the performance and resolution differences are obvious (see photo for comparison). This monitor has all the right features making it both easy to use for off the shelf gaming setup and customizable enough to meet the needs of those pushing custom builds.  Pros: The border feels like it disappears when gaming, leading to an immersive experience. Refresh rate and low latency response make this QHD monitor perform better than anticipated Cons: The OLED brightness doesn't always overcome the gloss screen, leading to glare if you have overhead lighting. In the box is the monitor, stand, hdmi cable, display port cable, power cord, and paperwork. Setup is straight forward. Physical attributes to note are 2 x HDMI 1.4 ports and one displayport, slim border, and height adjustable stand. Specs to note are the 240 hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time, and FreeSync synchronization which really make this monitor's gaming experience seamless.  As far as performance goes, there is no blur, stuttering, or tearing for graphics intensive games. It may be hard to recognize the quality, but when you put this beside a lower refresh rate monitor, the differences are immediately obvious. Things you have taken for granted such as a blurry forest background during dynamic scenes, all of a sudden become individual trees. I say this, because I really see this monitor filling the transition between entry level gaming monitors and high end, high res gaming monitors. The OLED gives a quality black, but the lack of brightness does diminish the true black feel due to the glare.  Bottom line, most of us don't want to spend a fortune on the super high end monitors, but still want the high end gaming experience, that's where this monitor comes in. Yes, it's not as bright as I'd prefer, given that it's in a large open room with lots of natural and overhead lighting. That being said, the response is fantastic and the build specs combined with hardware design really gives you an immersive gaming experience. I recommend this as a solid place to start for OLED gaming monitors. 

There’s nothing like a fresh monitor after years with the same one. Last time I bought a monitor was actually an all in one PC and while it's been looking just fine, Alienware just became my favorite way to game and work on creative outlets. First of all the box arrived looking big, which should have been obvious but I guess I never stopped to consider what 27 inches corner to corner would look like when bundled up in protective packing material. Inside the box you have the monitor protected in a two piece stiff cardboard shell with foam paper wrapped around all the major pieces: screen, stand, and base. There’s a baggie with the four screws and an allen wrench shaped phillips screw driver to secure those into your monitor. There’s also an HDMI cable, a DisplayPort cable, the power cable, and a quickstart paper with setup hieroglyphics for attaching the monitor to your laptop or PC…not super clear but its a monitor so you can pretty much intuit what’s up (or scan the QR code for more indepth instructions from Alienware’s site). The first thing you notice when removing the monitor proper is that it’s quite light and very thin…I worried I was going to break it lifting it out of the box but in a good way, if that makes sense. Ok, so it's hooked up and now you’re ready to rock and roll…it's big and it's beautiful! The base does swivel up and down as well as forward and back to tilt your screen, and the base has the rubber feet on a spinning ring to turn it side to side but without losing the secure hold to your desk…it works pretty well to get any angle you need for your space. I do find that on a less than super heavy desk the monitor does seem to wobble as I type or if I bump the desk, not unsafe for the monitor but annoyingly bouncy. I did like that rather than multipress buttons to navigate the menus, there’s a clicking thumb nub on the back so you can scroll through instead...maybe that’s old and I just haven’t encountered it before but it was a breath of fresh air to me. Some of the menu options will auto adjust for your gaming type: MOBA, RPG, FPS, and SPORTS as well as custom Game profiles, a cool setting, a warm setting, plus the standard and a custom manual input to play with. You can . The usual submenus are still here to adjust the brightness and contrast and swap input too. It's very easy to navigate and make the monitor look like what you want, the customizable profiles will be nice to set up for dark lighting vs. bright sunlight or just fine tuning things for your favorite games without making it difficult to go back when you need to do homework or watch videos. I did try to pickup on the refresh settings from 60 to 120 and 240 but even with a benchmark for refresh I didn’t really notice anything wildly good or bad…maybe I’m just not sensitive to it but it seems perfectly adequate for just about anything you want to do from Borderlands to Resident Evil in my opinion. Speakers are also pretty good, loud enough although you’re never going to put them up against any of your dedicated speaker setups. If you need a monitor then you could do far worse than Alienware’s QD-OLED offering. Its big, bright, beautiful, the power cable seems more than long enough for almost any setup you need, and it is pretty nice they include both an HDMI and a DisplayPort cable in the box considering I’ve had some monitors not include more than the power cable…so thanks Alienware!

I wanna start off by saying this monitor is good, and I’m 100% satisfied with it all things considered! But I will say there’s a lot of corners cut on this for a good display. I’ll start off with the speakers are not good, but this should be a given, if you buy a monitor for the built-in speakers then something is wrong with you. That said, there’s no USB ports on it, so NO firmware updates. What you get is what you get! No problematic features fixed later on down the line, etc. That's it! There’s also no way to adjust the display if you turn on HDR. It’s legit stuck at whatever color temp, brightness setting, and contrast setting Dell/Alienware thinks is good for you. Which in my opinion is too “cool” of a color for my tastes. My last gripe on this monitor is the stand, the stand does not pop inside the back of the monitor, instead it rests on it. Which causes the plastic to flex, giving it a very cheap feel. There’s no tilt, or height adjustments, but there is left and right rotation, but honestly it’s pretty cheesy. The bottom of the stand has a “round turn table” so to speak and the entire monitor and stand rotate, but it does what it needs to do. Those are my gripes BUT these are literally set it and forget it gripes. Everything else, from the colors, to the black levels, the resolution and how fine the text looks, etc., all amazing. The panel itself is so good. 240Hz isn’t a problem either. I didn’t notice any PWM flicker and honestly, this is a fantastic display for gaming. I was playing Marathon this weekend,Crimson Desert, as well as WitchFire and I love the display! It looks great. If you’re not picky on the rest of the stuff outside the screen, it’s great, but if want more from your display, then I’d recommend looking elsewhere.
