Why I’m obsessed with this gaming monitor

I test dozens of gaming monitors each year, but I’ve been in love with this one ever since I conducted testing for my Windows Central Alienware AW2725DF review.
In fact, I get sad whenever I have to take it down to review another monitor because I love it so much. It’s my go-to.

So what makes the Alienware AW2725DF gaming monitor so good?
To start things off, this monitor doesn’t require tools when assembling. It only took a couple of minutes to set up.
All I had to do was connect the stand to the base and turn a built-in screw to connect them.
Then, I simply pressed the top of the stand into the back of the monitor until I heard a click. From there, it was just a matter of situating it on my desk and plugging in cables.
Since this monitor provides me with a healthy range of ports, I can easily connect my computer and other devices to it without feeling limited.
Some gaming monitors have a really wide base that can take up way too much room on a desk, but that’s not a problem with this sturdy hexagon shape. Plus, I can tilt, turn, and rotate the screen to get it to a good position.
I’ve previously written about how my husband involuntarily gasps when he sees me using this gaming monitor because it is so beautiful to look at. These days, he and I have to take turns using the display because we both want to game on it.
When it comes to image quality, hues and contrast look absolutely stunning on this 2560 x 1440p display and help bring video game visuals to life with impressive detail. The QD-OLED panel even produced a very impressive 100% of sRGB, 95% of Adobe RGB, 98% of P3 in my color gamut test.
Then of course, there’s the insane eSports-level 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time that provide buttery smooth motion clarity during my gaming sessions.
When connected to a gaming laptop or desktop with an AMD GPU (graphics processing unit), I can also take advantage of AMD FreeSync to eliminate screen tearing. It just looks absolutely beautiful in person.
Being able to get this amazing $899.99 for $300 off is a fantastic deal and one I recommend taking advantage of if you’re in the market for a new gaming monitor.
