Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS

Dell Alienware AW2725DM

The Dell Alienware AW2725DM and the ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS are competing entry-level 1440p gaming monitors. They share many similarities, including their 180Hz refresh rates. There are some differences, though, as the ASUS has better motion handling with VRR. The ASUS is also more accurate before any sort of calibration. They each have a USB hub, with the Dell having two USB-A ports, and the ASUS having a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode to quickly connect a laptop.
