Alienware AW2726DM QD-OLED 27"

The Alienware AW2726DM doesn’t have USB ports or internal speakers, but it does have premium-level gaming performance and an image that goes toe-to-toe with any premium OLED, for a significantly lower admission price.

In a world where every piece of gaming gear seems to be getting more expensive, Alienware’s $350 AW2726DM 27-inch QD-OLED monitor feels like a gift to gamers on a budget.

So beyond longevity worries, you’ll be left with a screen that scrapes away all the gamer embellishments, all the certifications, and all the HDR options for the sake of spending less for a QD-OLED monitor. For those who just want the prettiest screen possible and can’t afford anything else, Alienware’s AW2726DM may be the right call. For everyone else, you’re better off with a brighter screen.

The Alienware AW2726DM is a $349 gaming monitor packing a ton of premium features, including a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and a sharp OLED panel. While it lacks RGB lighting and its panel isn’t as bright as competing monitors, it’s hard to argue against such an overall great and wallet-friendly device.
