Alienware's 27-Inch 4K Dual-Resolution Gaming Monitor is a decent compromise for gamers who want to play PC games at 4K, but need the option for sky-high refresh rates for 1080p esports.

The Dell AW2725DF is outstanding for PC gaming. It has an extremely fast 360Hz refresh rate, and its near-instantaneous response time results in extremely crisp images. It also has very low input lag, which creates a responsive gaming experience. However, without HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, you can only take full advantage of the monitor over DisplayPort. It also has noticeable VRR flicker with changing frame rates.

The Alienware AW2725DF is a great monitor for the competitive gamer thanks to a 360Hz refresh rate, alongside a stunning QD-OLED panel and crisp 2K resolution. But if you’re not that type of player, look elsewhere.

Alienware's AW2725DF gaming monitor brings Quantom Dot OLED technology to a 27-inch, flat display form factor. It pairs impressive color accuracy and great HDR modes with a 360Hz refresh rate for gaming. It includes plenty of ports, but USB ports are mostly Type-A and the HDMI port is limited to 240Hz.

This gaming monitor is one of the most impressive options on the market today. Its 27-inch screen size, 360Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and compatibility with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro make it an ideal choice for eSports or aspiring professional players. Plus, that QD-OLED panel makes visuals vibrant and crisp, even when displaying darker scenes. Cable management is also made easy thanks to a cable tidy in the stand and a removable covering that hides the monitor's ports from view for a clean appearance. All in all, this is one of the very best ways to play games.

The Dell Alienware AW2725DF is the best 27″ gaming monitor currently available.

The Alienware AW2725DF further refines OLED’s already excellent motion clarity with a 360Hz refresh rate, and does so without increasing the price.

By PCWorld on January 11, 2024

The AW2725DF is one of, if not the best, 27-inch, 1440p gaming monitors on the market right now.

By Reviewed on March 28, 2024

In summary, the Alienware AW2725DF is a jack of all trades that expertly balances high-end performance with pixel-perfect HDR visuals. Gamers and creatives seeking one of the best QHD monitors currently available need look no further, especially at its reasonable price point.
