Im still getting accustomed to seeing 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitors for less than $700 after all, it wasnt long ago that they were retailing for around $1,000. So imagine the feeling of sticker shock (complimentary) to spot one of Alienwares models with a fast 360Hz refresh rate for hundreds of dollars off, which is the case right now at Dells website.Originally $899.99, this monitors final price plunges to $599.99 when you use promo code AW27300 at checkout. With tax, my checkout total rang up to a cool $653.24. An OLED gaming monitor that costs less than a mid-range GPU? Hell yeah. At this price, theres no need to wait for Alienwares forthcoming AW2725D, which the company hopes (but isnt promising) to launch for $549. Itll have 1440p resolution with a 280Hz refresh rate, so its actually slower than Alienwares discounted AW2725DF.Alienware AW2725D gaming monitor$600$90033% off$600The AW2725DF has a 360Hz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, and a decent PPI to ensure that text looks clear.$600 at Dell (with code AW27300)In terms of the specs, Alienwares 27-inch AW2725DF sports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, plus support for VRR via either its HDMI 2.1 port or through either of its DisplayPort 1.4 ports. Thatll ensure that the screen looks smooth and tear-free, even during moments when the frame rate fluctuates wildly. While the panel can achieve up to a 360Hz refresh rate equating to 360 visible frames per second, if your GPU can keep up its only supported via the DisplayPort. Through HDMI 2.1, the monitors refresh rate tops out at a respectable 144Hz.The AW2725DF has an anti-reflective coating, but since I havent used this exact display, I cant vouch as to whether its fully matte or slightly on the glossy side (the newer AW2725Q is more glossy than matte, in turn letting more contrast through). It has 111 pixels per inch (PPI), which should be enough clarity to avoid seeing pixelated text. A low PPI dampened my enthusiasm for other OLED monitors, including the Corsair Xeneon Flex that I reviewed in late 2022.See More:
