Alienware just embarrassed everyone with its 4K OLED monitor
Apr 10, 2025
We don't need any fluff here: the Alienware AW2725Q is one of the best gaming monitors you can buy. It's a 4K OLED on a 27-inch panel, and it comes with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate. With those specs, it's really hard to go wrong, especially when you're the brand that kicked off the OLED gaming monitor trend in the first place.
But that's nothing special. Alienware isn't the only OLED player in town anymore, and the AW2725Q is an aggressive recognition of that fact. Although the monitor misses out on some extra features, it manages gobsmacking image quality and a price that undercuts the competition by hundreds of dollars.
Alienware sent us the AW2725Q for review. It had no input on the contents of this article.
Alienware AW2725Q
The Alienware AW2725Q is an excellent 4K gaming monitor, but that's not surprising when it's using one of the latest QD-OLED panels. It's surprising because Alienware is selling the monitor so cheap.
Pros & Cons
Excellent price compared to the competition
QD-OLED issues are mostly solved
Top-shelf brightness and color accuracy
USB-C is limited to only 15W
No KVM switch, and dated USB hub
No DisplayPort 2.1
Alienware AW2725Q pricing and availability
The pricing across all OLED monitors has dropped significantly in the past year, and the AW2725Q puts that on full display. It's $900 ($830 on sale at the time of writing), and although that's still expensive, it's much less than what we saw a couple of years ago. This is a 4K display with a 240Hz refresh rate, after all, and it's packing a fourth-gen QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display. A couple of years ago, you would spend $1,200 for the LG UltraGear OLED 27, which was locked to 1440p and had much worse brightness.
