Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor - AW2725DM - 27-inch QHD 180Hz 1ms Display, IPS, NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD Freesync, VESA AdaptiveSync.

95% DCI-P3, 180hz, 1MSPRT, 10bit color, HDR400. The picture is vibrant and crisp and colors are deep and rich. I calibrated the monitor using a Display Checker and the OOB colors were not very far off from the calibrated ones.The extra nice part is that the monitor runs at 180hz and you get 1 MSPRT in whatever mode you use. It's a phenomenal monitor for the cost.

This monitor is something I like. I don't have any equipment to measure some numbers, but I can tell that it's minimum 400 nits. HDR content looks good enough. Yes, this is not an OLED monitor, but it is significantly cheaper than OLED monitors. Color accuracy is great. But I previously stated that I do not have the necessary equipment to measure it. G-sync works great. Responding time is perfect. 180 Hz refresh is enough to produce a smooth picture. The edge-lit is not particularly good, and the local dimming is not perfect, but it's not a total disaster at all. Assembly is the simplest thing I have ever done. The menu is simple and has everything you need. 1440p resolution is the most suitable for me. The 1080 is too small, while 2160p necessitates a highly expensive video card. The reason 1440p is the best resolution is because it allows me to run games with my Rtx 4060 without affecting picture quality significantly.

I purchased this monitor a year ago after extensive research. I was looking explicitly for a monitor that had an IPS panel, a fast response rate, a high refresh rate, was QHD, and offered a great warranty.The Alienware offers all of these, at a great price.I’ll list the pros and cons that I’ve experienced over the year of owning this product.Pros:- IPS w/ 98% SDR/HDR color calibration out of the box- High SDR Brightness- 280hz Refresh Rate- 0.5ms Response Rate w/ overdrive- QHD (2560x1440)- Build quality is top tier- Zero ghosting- No flicker- Freesync Pro works with AMD/Nvidia cards- 3 year warranty out of the box from AlienwareCons:- Backlight Bleed is noticeable on black wallpapers or in very dark scenes, probably one of the worst I’ve seen. This is common with this unit if you search it. For me, it’s not a massive issue because I only use it for bright FPS titles. I have an ultrawide OLED for other games.- Alienware UI is lacking compared to competitors. The UI feels like there’s a lot, but there’s actually not. This is especially true if you try HDR mode, where the panel will lock the color, and brightness settings. Why this is makes no sense to me.- No HDMI 2.1. This doesn’t really matter since it’s not a 4k monitor, but I would assume it would have one since the monitor was released after the currentgen consoles. At the price, it surprised me. I use DP 1.4 either way, so it wasn’t an issue for me.- No speakers. This personally doesn’t affect me as I use either headphones or a surround system. However, it technically is a con.- Mediocre HDR performance. The HDR performance is mediocre at best. The gray uniformity isn’t the greatest because the backlight bleed, which takes away from the highs and lows HDR tries to accomplish. The HDR brightness is also technically below standard. I would recommend SDR, which looks very good anyway.- Semigloss screen coating. The coating appears more matte than semigloss to me, but it’s not bad per say. It’s still good enough to not wash out the colors like some matte coatings, but I definitely feel like calling this semigloss isn’t accurate. I would rather call it lightly matte.Conclusion:- This monitor excels at being a top tier choice at competitive fast moving games like CoD, CS2, Overwatch, Etc. However, it does not excel at games that would be better played on an OLED or MiniLED panel. I own this monitor strictly for FPS titles, and have the OLED AW3423DWF for other games. My use for this monitor is fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who plays fast paced competitive games and can push the frames to utilize the refresh rate.

I usually dont write reviews but this monitor is AMAZING!! My xbox Series X looks great and no blur when playing COD! I recommend it! 10/10Setup: when you first turn on you should take time and go through settings what best fits the games you play!

Absolutely love this monitor. Good color, reactive in gaming, no glitches. The size is perfect for my needs, screen is clear and bright. Set up easily and was up and running in no time. Very happy with my purchase.

I took a chance on the used, like new monitor. Turned out to be a great choice. This thing is in like new condition, but I did have to clean it up. It arrived in a beat up box and the monitor had some weird smearing all over the screen and was basically covered in dust and pet hair. I feel like Amazon could've at least cleaned it up a little bit before selling it to someone. It also didn't come with an hdmi cable, but that's ok for me as I use my own Display port cable for everything. Also they couldn't be bothered to put the monitor in the protective plastic sheathing, but instead just laid the bare monitor on top of it, boxed it up and sent it to me. Definitely could've done better with all that I just mentioned.However, I'm happy with it so far. The HDR is not good, at least I couldn't get it dialed in with the Windows HDR calibration app. I've given up trying to find a monitor in my price range that has decent HDR. When I have more to spend I'll get an OLED that has nice HDR. For now this is it for me. The regular picture is outstanding and I appreciate how it's factory calibrated. I love the high refresh rate, makes games look amazing. The RGB lighting on the back is a nice touch. It looks very nice overall. The USB ports are also appreciated and the stand is heavy duty and we'll made. For what I paid for this monitor, I'm very happy with it so far.
