The monitor is top quality and sturdy. Height, tilt and swivel adjustments are very nicely done and
not as flimsy as on my older Samsung monitor. Screen colours are vibrant and refresh rate is great for gaming. I use the monitor as my main one in a two 27 inch setup, and use it for coding, gaming, office work and more. It is a well rounded monitor that does well in all areas, not just gaming.
Some reviews mention that the text does not appear as clearly on screen but this has not been my experience at all.
I'd whole heartedly recommend this monitor to anyone looking for an excellent 1440p display for gaming and all around use such as office work and programming.
First and foremost, the 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display is a visual delight. The colors are vibrant and accurate, with 100% sRGB coverage, making games look stunningly lifelike. The VESA DisplayHDR 600 support enhances the contrast and brightness, delivering immersive gaming experiences with deep blacks and brilliant highlights.
The standout feature here is the 180Hz refresh rate, which can be overclocked to achieve a remarkable 1ms response time. Gaming on this monitor feels buttery-smooth, and there's no hint of ghosting or motion blur. Whether you're playing fast-paced shooters or exploring expansive RPG worlds, the Alienware AW2724DM keeps up with the action flawlessly. Just keep in mind you need to use a DisplayPort for that native 165hz, as you only get 144hz with an HDMI.
What's more, it's not just about the raw performance; this monitor is also packed with features. It's AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certified and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible, ensuring tear-free gaming no matter your GPU preference. The customizable AlienFX lighting adds a cool aesthetic touch to your gaming setup, allowing you to sync the lighting effects with your other Alienware peripherals.
The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek black design and ergonomic adjustability, so you can find the perfect viewing angle. The on-screen display menu is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to fine-tune your monitor settings.
In conclusion, the Alienware AW2724DM Gaming Monitor is a game-changer for any serious gamer. With its outstanding display quality, lightning-fast refresh rate, and compatibility with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, it's hard to find a better gaming monitor on the market. While it's an investment, the visual feast it offers is worth every penny for those who demand the best in their gaming setup. Highly recommended!

I waited two years for this monitor to come down in price and it was delivered damaged. This is not my fault. I even offered to keep it with maybe a discount. No go.
I called Dell and after some photos were exchanged and I followed instructions to try and clean the glass with isopropyl and a micro-fibre cloth to no avail, I was told that a new screen would be sent.
I would also not have to wait until they received the scratched one back but I just had to put the damaged one in the box the new one is coming in and use the prepaid return label that will be supplied. All at no cost to me.
Now THAT is customer service.
Apparently this is an older model that had no screen protector just tape and bubble wrap which left a ton of scratches. Or it was returned already. Guess that's why the sale price....
Not recommended unless you go directly to the manufacturer.

-Vibrant color saturation
-Excellent Clarity
-No Dead Pixels
-180hz OC
-No noticable blooming
-Zero ghosting
-Thin matte finish with no noticable dirty screen effect on a white background.
I tend to game in sdr, but surprisingly this monitor has rather decent hdr for the price I paid for it. $400cnd (not sure why it had a $100 price jump recently)
The screen can also reach 600nits of brightness.
The 4k equivalent to this monitor is the Corsair 32uhd144hz which I also own.
The display is rather identicle except for the resolution obviously but at a fraction of the price.
1440p is definitely the sweet spot for pc gaming. I use the 4k monitor for my ps5.
The leds are customizable to match any rgb setup which is also a plus.
For those wondering it does not have an hdmi 2.1, I've seen a lot of controversy over the internet whether if it did or not so just wanted to clarify.
Overall I highly recommend this monitor if its for your pc. Would look at other options for console gaming.

Super smooth gameplay: The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make for an incredibly smooth gaming experience. I play a lot a FPS and this monitor and keep up!
Gorgeous visuals: The QHD resolution and IPS panel produce stunning visuals with sharp details and vibrant colors. I was particularly impressed by the color accuracy, which is perfect for both gaming and creative work.
Adaptive sync: The AW2724DM supports both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro; NVIDIA G-SYNC, and VESA which means that you can use this the PS5 and enable Variable Refresh Rate at 2k resolution.
Comfortable design: The ergonomic stand allows you to adjust the tilt, swivel, and height of the monitor to find the perfect viewing position. The stand is also very sturdy, so there's no need to worry about the monitor wobbling.
Stylish design: The AW2724DM has a sleek and stylish design that will look great on any gaming desk. The AlienFX lighting adds a touch of personality and can be customized to your liking.
Haven’t come across any negatives so far as the panel tested perfect and no dead pixels.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the Dell Alienware AW2724DM. It's a great gaming monitor that offers excellent performance, stunning visuals, and a comfortable design. If you're looking for a gaming monitor that will take your gaming experience to the next level, the AW2724DM is definitely worth it.
Then there was cost, I'd noticed that most of the smaller monitors that claimed OLED were around $3k... Yes, I could've afforded one of them, but, I don't want to be spending more on the monitor than I did on the rig I'm going to be using it for either. This monitor popped up, strangely, as a sponsored ad from amazon that was in the listing but separate, unlike all the other monitors that I was searching which would mention OLED but then, in the product description sneak in that what they were calling OLED was quantum dot on an LCD screen.... Unlike them, this monitor was the closest I could come to my specs.
I understand that there seems to be a scalping issue regarding this monitor, when I bought it, it was at the $1.2k price. I hadn't anticipated paying over $1k for a monitor, but, at the same time, this was the best deal on an OLED monitor I could find, and, not to mention, one from a major company instead of a chinese knock off company. So, I bought it, it shipped via FedEx, though, which to me is a problem because, unlike any other carrier, they do not actually have a functional delivery instructions option... I live in a quadplex, it clearly is listed with apartment numbers, FedEx considers the entire property one address, so, even if I could use their delivery manager, it would attach those delivery instructions to the entire building... Especially with something this expensive, I want to make sure it gets delivered to my front door as that's my rented property, FedEx has a bad habit of delivering things to the first floor where the mailboxes are which is not my property and is an actual mis-delivery.
Thankfully, though, the package was delivered to my front door and arrived ahead of schedule. The next challenge, though, was the weight... because holy mother of gods, the weight reminded me of my old CRT monitors and the package was far more awkward than them too. By contrast, my bigger LED TV's package was of course bigger, but wasn't near as heavy. It's not an issue if you live on the first floor, but, in my case there are narrow steps that go up to a t-intersection, it was not fun having to lug that thing carefully up the stairs. So, forewarning, a little bit of umph is required for moving it up or down stairs.
Assembly is a cinch and shouldn't require any mechanical skills, the most complex part was screwing in the feet of the monitor stand to the monitor stand itself.
Now, that stand... I want to take a moment to talk about it... I think the phrase "Graciously over-engineered in a beneficial way" is about as apt a statement as I can say about it. I'm used to manufacturers selling premium products with flimsy additions... especially with monitors, could have a great monitor, but, then you get the monitor stand unpacked and it's just a flimsy piece of plastic that'll probably break, or lead to the monitor topping over... THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS MONITOR STAND. If I found myself in a fight in my house, and I had enough time to do this, I'd take the stand off the back of the monitor and use that as an improve weapon... I kid you not, it's sturdy enough that I'm pretty sure you could bash in a skull, it's definitely heavy enough.
That said, some might consider the weight of the stand a no go... I don't, I see why so much attention was paid to it, it's weight is there to ensure that when you swivel your monitor or adjust height, etc, the balance is always on the stand, and the monitor's weight won't lead to issues of tipping, or moving or anything else, essentially, it was designed to let basic Newtonian physics do all the hard work of making the monitor stable and tip resistant. The stand has some wire control features that tie into the monitor, like some flanges at the back to secure the wires/cables, and a recess at the bottom of the stand for wire routing out the other side. I appreciated that feature because my room is so cable/wire undisciplined, I sometimes feel like I'm living in the storage closet for Doc Ock... having a monitor stand that at least alleviates that concern for itself is always welcomed.
There's one concern that I can think of regarding the stand, and that's it's best feature, the weight, if you have a surface you're going to be placing the monitor on which has some weight concerns, check the weight of the unit in the specs above and realize most of that weight is from the stand, so, use that to factor on if it'll cause issues, if it does, a VESA mount is included, although IDK what one because I'm not using it.
Now for the monitor, it had a decent amount of ports, a DP, several HDMI ports, some throughput charging USB ports at the base and a few others. My only gripe with this, though, is that the HDMI ports are 2.0 and NOT 2.1.. what that means is that if you're running your rig via HDMI to the monitor, you're locked to 100 hz or lower refresh rate, if you, like me, have a rig that is capable of 144 or higher hz, this may cause a concern or two in your mind. All I can say is that the unit comes with a G-Sync Ultimate module and the hardware to connect it that way. I need HDR, so, I stick with the HDMI for simplicity sake.
As far as the monitor itself, it's plug and play, although, there are a few things you wan to adjust when you first plug it in and power it on. You access the monitor menu/OSD by a joystick at the base of the monitor, don't worry, you'll find it, it's one of the RGB components. I cannot explain it that easily, but, getting it to run in HDR mode is a bit of a odd affair, on one hand, windows is supposed to manage that, but, windows was saying the monitor doesn't support HDR... which, of course it does... the OSD menu gives you options for selecting HDR 1000 or HDR 400 True Black... but that doesn't enable HDR... In my case I think the issue is that I've got this connected to a laptop, and so, I had to shut the lid of the laptop to ensure that it wasn't reading as the primary screen.
That said, the menu takes some getting used to, not bad, everything is set up intuitively mostly, but, in order to access the full menu instead of the pre-loaded shortcuts (you can change those in the regular settings) you have to flick the joystick towards you (or "up). The options are quite competent with a huge selection of modes to choose from regarding color settings. It is important to note that, at least, as of current firmware, you cannot choose the creators mode option while running the monitor in HDR, that's only available in SDR and I have no idea why.
Other than that, the settings were pretty standard, some interesting additions were adding an FPS counter, and timer on-screen... To me that's a novel idea for a monitor, whether it's functional, IDK. What I do know is that I don't touch them.
One "feature' I recommend turning off ASAP is Eco Mode. It's currently glitchy and can cause various issues.
Now, I guess the elephant in the room is "What about burn in?" It's too early for me to say, and it's also too early for me to say if burn in affects the quantum dots too, hypothetically, since the brights are somewhat handled by the quantum dots, that should minimize burn in for the OLEDs, but, that's an unknown because this is a brand new combo of tech. There are included remedies, though, that are supposed to minimize the risk of burn-in further, namely pixel and panel refresh...
Pixel Refresh prompts to allow it to run every 4 hours, during the time it's running, you will not be able to use the monitor, keep that in mind before using the joystick to click okay, for pixel refresh, the maintenance takes around 7 minutes, after which, you may find that you need to manually turn the monitor back on, not a biggie, but, once more, not ideal if you're, say, in a marathon gaming session.
Panel Refresh is an older solution that was also included, don't do that unless you're about to go to bed or are going to be away from the PC for an hour, otherwise, the monitor will be unavailable for an hour. Thankfully, you do not need to run panel refresh every 4 hours, it's more like "Run it every once in a while" sort of like the De-gauss function on CRT's. I try to run pixel refresh along the prescribed 4 hours of usage thing, but, since I use my PC most of the day and night for various things including gaming, I'm not going to claim that I'm that great at keeping up with it.
Now, for other things that some may be wanting to know about, but that I don't really GAF about... RGB lighting... Yes, it has it, Yes there's an option to customize each component's color, etc, yes it supports Alien sync, no I don't think it supports Aura-sync but don't know because, once more, IDGAF about RGB, aside from if something is advertised as RGB and all that it comes with are fixed LED's that are only one color... that's when I have an issue, otherwise, fancy shifting xmas lights that are fully configurable do nothing to add to performance or increase gaming skills... especially since, when I medicate with maryJ, that'd serve as a distraction... Zones are, the area in the back where the stand connects to the monitor, 2 zones for that ring, the Alienware logo on the left side (when facing the back of the monitor), the power button and the Joystick. The only 2 that are practical for me are the power button and the OSD joystick since that helps me find both in the dark.
No... How is the picture? Great. OLED is wonderful in terms of accuracy of darker colors, and, conceivably, the quantum dots help to extend the color profile in ways that OLED traditionally don't. All I can say is that, though white text is still hurting my eyes, it's not near as bad, and my eyes thank me any time a black area of a game or window comes up, because it's actual black and not that annoying backlit "black". I didn't do tests on the color efficiency or anything, Linus Tech Tips and a few other reviewers did, according to them, the claim of 1k nits is true, but, it doesn't hold 1k nits as long as other monitors, or something like that, IDK... seems like the more nits there are, the more my eyes get bothered, the more agitated I get, so, I'm sticking with what I bought the monitor for, gaming with True Black.
Would I suggest this monitor? If you're one of those extremely rare individuals with Visual Snow and you can afford it, yes, it's not going to make the "everything I see looks like there's film grain/static" stuff you deal with everyday, but, it will help your eyes feel more comfy in regards to light sensitivity. Otherwise, would I suggest this monitor? Yes I would, for as expensive as it seems, there's not another monitor in the price range that does the job good. So, I'm not a fan of Alienware usually, but, I will say that even though their heat discipline for pre-built pc's, and their component selection for said pre-built pc's are, in my opinion, trash, I am actually impressed by their monitors.
Also, apparently, the panel manufacturer, Samsung, has some sort of exchange deal where, after 3 years if there's burn in, they'll exchange this monitor for another one... if that actually happens or not, IDK. Also, final thought, there are additional ports I didn't mention, including a physical headphone jack at the base, I don't know if it'll connect the microphone portion of a headset, though, because I haven't tested it and probably won't, I use a Skullcandy Crusher EVO head set with amazing bluetooth, hardly use the headphone jacks as a result. Oh, and, IDK why they thought this was needed, but, apparently, there's a cooling fan in the back of the monitor around where the mount is, it's internal, I didn't see it, only the exhaust fans, but have no idea why they felt they needed a fan in it... can't tell you if it's noisy or not because I haven't had it kick in, and if it did, I wasn't aware of it because I was wearing my headphones. So, if you were wondering about that aspect, there you go.
