Alienware AW2725DF 27-inch 360Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor

The QD-OLED that made fast and beautiful stop being a tradeoff

Alienware AW2725DF 27" QD-OLED 360Hz

8.8/10Last checked

The first 360Hz QD-OLED still holds up as the gaming pick: 0.03ms pixels, infinite contrast, and colors punchy enough for creative work, with a 3-year warranty that covers burn-in. Skip it as an only monitor — 15W USB-C, no speakers, and 110 ppi make it a poor work dock.

For pure gaming performance in a 27-inch frame, nothing at this price puts speed and picture quality together like this panel.

What we like

  • 360Hz + 0.03ms QD-OLED — among the fastest motion of any monitor
  • Per-pixel OLED contrast with punchy HDR highlights up to 1000 nits
  • Factory-calibrated ΔE<2 in both sRGB and DCI-P3 modes
  • 3-year warranty that explicitly covers OLED burn-in
  • Tom's Hardware Editor's Choice and Engadget's best OLED gaming pick

Trade-offs

  • No speakers and no audio jack — awkward with consoles
  • USB-C is 15W data/charge only; can't take a laptop video signal
  • 1440p at 27 inches (111 ppi) is soft for text next to 4K/5K
  • Glossy coating rewards a reflection-free room

Best for

competitive and immersive PC gamers who want OLED contrast with esports-grade speed, and dual-monitor desks where a work screen handles the docking

Avoid if

this will be your only monitor for work, you need USB-C laptop charging or speakers, or you read small text all day and want 4K-class sharpness
