Im not ashamed to admit I practically pressed my face against the Alienware AW2725Q during testing.
One thing you may have missed is the purple hue of the AW2725Q body.
As for OSD controls, were dealing with yet another joystick nub.

However, the dial is perfectly serviceable and provides menu navigation without too much frustration.
On the software side, Dell has given its OSD a bit of a visual glow up.
Its easy to forget that protective measures are almost mandatory with QD-OLED setups like this.

The difference is admittedly minimal, and I know some players prefer toned down saturation in any case.
What I will say is that Dells anti-glare coating seems to be working harder this time around.
Okay, so the AW2725Q is sharp and vibrant, but what about competitive scenarios?
Being a 4K 240Hz screen, this new Alienware display isnt set up to take on the fastest panels.
Should you buy the Alienware AW2725Q?
