Our Verdict

Dell Alienware AW2725QF

LG 27G850A-B

The Dell AW2725QF and the LG 27G850A-B are competing dual-mode gaming monitors. While they both have 4k resolutions with dual-mode features that switch them to a lower 1080p resolution, their refresh rates differ. The LG has a higher 240Hz refresh rate in 4k and a 480Hz refresh rate in 1080p, so it offers a smoother feel. However, the Dell still has better overall motion handling and more accurate colors. Although the LG comes with an IPS Black panel and has a better contrast ratio, they both have terrible local dimming features and fail to deliver an impactful HDR experience.
