Our Verdict

AOC Q27G3XMN

Dell Alienware AW2725DM

The AOC Q27G3XMN and the Dell Alienware AW2725DM are both entry-level 1440p gaming monitors. There are a few differences between them, though. The AOC has far better picture quality thanks to its higher contrast ratio for deeper blacks, and its Mini LED backlighting provides brighter highlights in HDR. Although the AOC has a faster overall response time, it has black smearing in dark content that the Dell doesn't have, which is something to consider if your games have a lot of dark scenes. The Dell also has a wider viewing angle, which helps for co-op gaming as the image remains consistent from the sides.
