The 27-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor that a couple of Verge staffers have tested is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/8836598\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.dell.com\/en-us\/shop\/alienware-27-4k-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw2725q\/apd\/210-brfr\/monitors-monitor-accessories\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$699.99<\/a> right now, which is $200 off its original $899.99 price. It has sold at a similar price before, but discounts have been infrequent these past several months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">I love this monitor (I published a review earlier this year at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/impressions\/531783\/alienware-qd-oled-monitor-27-4k-aw2725q-specs-impressions-buy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Polygon<\/a>). My colleague Nathan Edwards digs it, too, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/784323\/upgrading-240hz-oled-gaming-monitor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">posting recently<\/a> about how making the jump to a high-refresh-rate 240Hz OLED can truly spoil you. I can attest to this; it was a little heartbreaking to go back to my 1080p IPS panels after returning the AW2725Q to Alienware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This Alienware monitor made waves in early 2025 by proving that companies could deliver a 4K OLED for under $1,000. It wasn\u2019t all that long ago that 1440p was the standard at that price. Whether you actually have a PC that can play games in 4K at respectable frame rates or not, it\u2019s good to have a monitor that\u2019s ready to play high-resolution content for when you upgrade your PC. Also, you can connect a console like a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a Nintendo Switch 2 to play titles at up to 4K at 120Hz, and they\u2019ll look great on the AW2725Q\u2019s 16:9 aspect ratio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon is hosting a lot of good deals during October Prime Day, but it can\u2019t compete with Dell&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[3425,18,7894,19,17,13535,15512,753,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-110104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-deals","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-gaming","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-pc-gaming","14":"tag-prime-day","15":"tag-tech","16":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
