Slowly but surely, OLED monitors are dropping down to attainable prices. Dell and Alienware consistently deliver some of the best prices in the category, and Alienware’s new 27-inch 1440p OLED is the cheapest yet. The new design debuts this summer with a price of just $549.99.
That’s an amazing price for an OLED monitor, especially with its 280Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time. The Alienware AW2725D gives you the usual gaming goodies like G-Sync and FreeSync compatibility, and the “sweet spot” 1440p resolution that’s extremely popular at the moment. Alienware is using a new stand design and some updated aesthetics, too. Other technical details will have to wait for the “Summer 2025” release date in North America. (The exterior design for this monitor isn’t finished yet, apparently, so the header image above is the new AW2725Q 4K 27-incher — see below.)
There are a couple of other OLED announcements coming in hot, too. Alienware’s popular 34-inch ultrawide is getting an update with the new AW3425DW model. This version bumps the speed up to 240Hz while keeping the 3440×1440 resolution, but it also gets a USB-C port that’s unfortunately restricted to 15 watts of charging. That means this still won’t be the ideal one-cable companion for gaming laptops, though with a launch price of $799.99, I think a lot of PC gamers will be willing to overlook that. This one launches on April 29, 2025.
Dell
For those who want an upgraded 4K screen at a smaller size, Alienware is debuting the 27-inch AW2725Q. This is essentially a shrunken-down version of the excellent 32-inch OLED that debuted last year. It can handle 240Hz of refresh and 0.03ms of response time at that full 3840×2160 resolution, plus it has e-ARC compatibility on the HDMI 2.1 ports, making it an excellent addition to any media-focused desktop setup. Sadly, it’s still limited to just 15 watts on its single USB-C port. It’s on sale now for $899.99, which is hefty in Alienware’s lineup but still fairly affordable in terms of 4K OLED monitors across the board.
Dell
If your budget can’t quite accommodate an OLED, Aleinware is also launching a new 27-inch IPS-LCD monitor, delivering color-accurate picture in 1440p. The fast IPS panel can hit 180Hz, which should be enough for most gamers that aren’t trying to up their K/D ratio. It hits Dell’s online store tomorrow (March 6, 2025) for $270.
