Our Verdict

HyperX OMEN OLED 27q

Dell Alienware AW2726DM

The Dell Alienware AW2726DM and the HyperX OMEN OLED 27q are competing 1440p, 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors. They perform similarly for the most part, but one difference is that the HyperX has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which the Dell doesn't have. This is helpful if you have an HDMI 2.1 graphics card. The HyperX also has much more accurate colors before calibration, but its picture quality is similar otherwise.

Both of these monitors are in my price range and currently the same price .Would the oled care options from the hyperx give the edge? (I mainly play in a dim/dark room)

Yeah, the HyperX definitely has the advantage when it comes to these OLED care settings, so if you feel these are important, go for it. Overall, if they’re the same price, I’d suggest the HyperX because it’s more well-rounded.
