This 27-inch 4K OLED is my dream gaming show, and it’s $200 off

Amazon is internet hosting lots of good offers throughout October Prime Day, however it might’t compete with Dell relating to its sale on the Alienware AW2725Q. The 27-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor that a few Verge staffers have examined is $699.99 proper now, which is $200 off its authentic $899.99 worth. It has offered at an analogous worth earlier than, however reductions have been rare these previous a number of months.

I really like this monitor (I printed a evaluation earlier this 12 months at Polygon). My colleague Nathan Edwards digs it, too, posting just lately about how making the soar to a high-refresh-rate 240Hz OLED can actually spoil you. I can attest to this; it was slightly heartbreaking to return to my 1080p IPS panels after returning the AW2725Q to Alienware.

This Alienware monitor made waves in early 2025 by proving that corporations might ship a 4K OLED for underneath $1,000. It wasn’t all that way back that 1440p was the usual at that worth. Whether you even have a PC that may play video games in 4K at respectable body charges or not, it’s good to have a monitor that’s able to play high-resolution content material for once you improve your PC. Also, you may join a console like a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a Nintendo Switch 2 to play titles at as much as 4K at 120Hz, and so they’ll look nice on the AW2725Q’s 16:9 side ratio.
