In 2023, I tested my first OLED gaming monitor for the Angate, LG 27gr95Qe. The IPSL is coming from CD, there was a LG screen change. Its Wild (White OLED) panel produced ink, making every game look incredible, and it allowed me to experience HDR gaming for the first time. But the surprising as it was the monitor, it was the first generation product and faced many problems.
He developed a text fringe, which made it annoying to use the use of productive works, and whenever I activated NVIDIA’s G-SYnc smooth. I recommended the LG 27gr95Qe with some warnings in my first gaming monitor guide, but at any time in the last two years I have considered buying OLED for myself. The panels have improved, but if I’m going to spend $ 800 or more on a new monitor, it’s better or at least close to it.
I think I have finally got the OLED monitor I will recommend without reservation, and I will buy it for myself. As long as you own the GPU who can run it, the new AW2725Q of Allen Ware is an extraordinary gaming display. With 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, it is fast, sharp and provides almost flawless image quality in both SDR and HDR applications. Oh, and did I mention that it’s cheaper than competition? If you are in the market for a high -end gaming monitor, it is about to buy.
Design

AW2725Q is the Dell’s new AW30 design language first film mark for alien ware products. When I personally saw a company’s equipment, and I was afraid that the monitor would be surprised at my desk. Thankfully, AW2725Q is not so. In fact, it has another low design I have made. Dell offers AW2725Q in the same color: Interestler Indigo. This is a subtle color that is more interesting than the usual black that you see on many competitors. The monitor also has the least alleven branding. In the back of the display, the company’s trademark is a stranger logo, while in the front you will find the badge. Logo lights up. You can change the color of the LED or close it with an on -screen display (OSD) menu.
Like most Dell Monitor, AW2725Q offers many ports. To start, it comes with two HDMI 2.1 connection. One of them supports the ERC, so you can connect the monitor to the sound bar and the PS5 or Xbox series X/S. It also has three USB-A ports and a single USB-C connection that is capable of supplying 15W power. AW2725Q has the same flat Samsung-made QD-Old panel as $ 1,200 asus PG27ucDM and $ 1,100 mSI 272urx.
Dell cut some features to get his monitor up to $ 900. First, it has a display port 2.1 output, meaning it is limited to the old 1.4 standards. As a result, the AW2725Q needs to rely on the display stream compression (DSC) to put 4K signal out on 240Hz. Paper and practically, this is not a reason to leave the alien ware monitor. As the name suggests, DSC is a compression algorithm. This is not technically everlasting, but it is “visually lace”, and unless you are peeking, it is difficult to feel the difference between DSC signal and display port 2.1 more. In addition, you will need NVIDIA or AMD’s latest GPUs to take advantage of the new standard anyway.
AW2725Q is more noteworthy in other compromises. MSI and Asus models offer a speeding 98W and 90W power supply at their USB-C ports, which improves the laptop quickly. The ASUS monitor also comes with the KVM switch, if you want to use the same keyboard and mouse to control more than one computer. These are all good, but not the features I will pay an extra $ 200 or $ 300 to get a new monitor, especially in one I plan to use basically for gaming.
Display

Although I have seen more than a few OLED monitors in the past, the AW2725Q was immediately impressive. As I mentioned earlier, it has presented a Q Di -Idel Panel developed by Samsung, and this specific model is first marked when the company offers 4K resolution on a 27 -inch panel. It seems to be excessive, and in a way it is.
That said, AW2725Q has a major benefit of 166ppi pixel density. This is the first OLED monitor that I have used which does not sacrifice the explanation of the text. With the previous generations of both Samsung and LG’s OLED panels, I found the text really disturbing, making them mostly IMP for productive works. With AW2725Q, this problem is almost completely resolved, which not only makes it a good gaming monitor, but also a great monitor period.
AW2725Q offers 99 % DCI-P3 coverage. Outside the box, my unit needed some calibration, as the Green Dids were putting everything in a little strength. Once I operated a monitor through a display, AW2725Q looked almost perfect. Without colors, the colors were dynamic. If you want to use AW2725Q for design work, Dell involves the option to clip SRGB in OSD. Talking about the OSD, it is well -laid and it is easy to navigate through a joy stick that is big enough to not feel.

AW2725Q has a spoonful of coating that enhances the ability to produce deep calls and dynamic colors of the panel. In a dim light room, the alien ware monitor produces an image that is almost three -dimensional. When I went to review the old sports, even in which SDR specialized, I felt as if I was watching artistic details that I had not paid attention to before. Of course, the trade with a sparkling coating is that the reflection is far more clear. In addition, one of the prices of the QD -led panels is that their black pixels can be brightly bright-colored rooms. At first I found out this disappointing, but once I got better about using my blinds to handle the light coming from the window, the trade was far greater. In this way, the AW2725Q is like any OLED screen: it requires proper lighting of its best look.
Once I dial the screen, AW2725Q was equally good for both deep and competitive gaming, thanks to its 240Hz refresh rate. Coming from the 165 -Heritz Monitor, I didn’t think the fastest refresh rate would make sports significantly smooth, but I was wrong. Even when my NVIDIA RTX in 3070 GPU Games, the display was unable to completely meet Cyberpank 2077 And Space Marine 2 For example, I didn’t see any fading or smelly. Most of this is thanks to the time for the reaction of 0.03 mm pixel. One of the good things about OLED monitor, especially if you are running less powerful GPU, do not need to worry about over -drive methods. I saw VR Flickr when I activated GSYNC, but it seems that I have seen an old OLED monitor like the LG 27gr95Qe.

Whatever I mentioned so far applies to SDR gaming, but when you enable HDR, AW2725Q really comes into itself. This is a Vehicle Troy Black 400 certified display. In the dark, like environmental games Dead space And Alan WeekThe ability to produce real calls of AW2725Q and the proportion of closely infinite proportion is a change. The screen increases a great deal to the environment trying to achieve these games, thanks to the dark scenes that you do not wash through the brightness that you get on the IPS display.
Unfortunately, I do not have the equipment required to measure the peak brightness and the uniformity of the panel. Reviewers rtings And Monitor inboxed However, give AW2725Q extremely. He found that the monitor could pee in 220 nits in his SDR mode, and that the HDR could maintain about 260 nets of peak brightness on a full screen during operation. If you are coming from the LCD display, I imagine that AW2725Q will not be disappointed, even if it is not as bright as some other OLEDs in the market.
Burn in Protection
In a few weeks, it is not long enough for them to put pressure on AW2725Q for them, but with what I have seen so far, with decent care, the panel should continue for years. First, the monitor comes with a sweetener of maintenance features. One of these panels will refresh all the pixels so that they do not get stuck. You can start manually through OSD. AW2725Q will start the process itself even after you turn off your computer or sleep. It takes about five minutes throughout the procedure. The back of the display also contains self -diagnostic tools for panels and fans.
In the United States, the Dell offers a three -year warranty on AW2725Q, which includes coverage of burn in protection. Not every manufacturer does this with his OLED monitor, so the fact is that the deal is good and makes a long -term purchase to AW2725Q.

Generally, when I review a product, I can’t wait to go back to the device I was using earlier. I try to think about my shopping habits, and just buy things I know about I will have a good service in the coming years. So I can say the best thing about the Allen Ware AW2725Q is that I’m not looking forward to sending it back. This is an amazing display that has made one of my favorite hobbies more pleasant. The fact is that it costs $ 900 cake.
Yes, this is even more expensive than your average IPS gaming monitor, but without the sacrifice of visual quality it is cheaper than competition. If you are in the market for 4K OLED, I will only leave AW2725Q if you have a desk space to adjust the 32 -inch screen and you prefer that size.
