Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED 240Hz Gaming Monitor (AW2725Q)
Our Verdict
A 27-inch 4K QD-OLED at 240Hz with per-pixel blacks, sold and shipped by Amazon AU, and the sharpest OLED text of its size.
Why it's number one: The only OLED in the line-up: a 27-inch 4K QD-OLED at 240 Hz with per-pixel blacks and a 99% DCI-P3 gamut leads on Picture and Colour, its stand and adaptive-sync support match the best Features here, T3 gave it five stars, and owners rate it 4.4 stars from more than 1,300 Amazon reviews.
The AW2725Q puts a 4K QD-OLED panel into a 27-inch frame, which is the size where 4K resolution gives OLED its cleanest text: pixel density is high enough that the colour fringing older QD-OLED screens showed around letters is much harder to spot. Blacks are per-pixel and properly black, colour comes from the quantum-dot layer with a 99% DCI-P3 gamut, and the 240Hz refresh with a 0.03ms grey-to-grey response keeps fast games clean with no smearing. It works with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro, and supports Dolby Vision as well as HDR True Black 400. The stand adjusts for height, tilt, swivel and pivot, so it sits right without an aftermarket arm. There is no USB-C input and no built-in speakers, so laptop users need a cable and a separate audio setup. Owners rate it 4.4 stars from more than 1,300 Amazon reviews, T3 gave it five stars, and it is sold and shipped by Amazon AU with a buy box at every postcode we check.
Owners is the 4.4★ Amazon AU rating from 1,398 reviews, weighted toward the category average when there are few. Fewer than two published reviews of this exact model, so the owner rating carries that weight too. Tick marks show the category average.
How we scored it
Each measure is marked against the category's rubric, where 10 is the best you can buy, 8 is strong, 6 is basic but sound and 4 falls short. The bars show that mark on the Top7 scale (a 6 reads as 7.0, an 8 as 8.5); the notes quote the rubric mark.
- Picture 9.6 (rubric 9.5): 27-inch 4K QD-OLED at 240 Hz with per-pixel blacks and HDR True Black 400; T3 rates it five stars, but only HDR 400 brightness, so not a 10.
- Colour 9.3 (rubric 9): Quantum-dot OLED with a 99% DCI-P3 gamut per Dell's specification; no allowlisted reviewer measurement of accuracy, so not a 10.
- Features 8.9 (rubric 8.5): 240 Hz with G-Sync compatibility and FreeSync Premium Pro, height, tilt, swivel and pivot stand and a USB hub; no USB-C input or KVM.
