Anyone own an Alienware AW2725D? My monitor has seen better days and I fancy an upgrade to an OLED. This seems like a bargain compared to most OLED's.
 
It's not that much a bargain really, the 360hz version was cheaper just last week, and you can get the Asus and MSI 360's for not a whole lot more, and then there's the new tandem woleds coming out that should be good
 
Open Box/Refurb a good way to get amazing prices on OLED monitors now seen some for £300-500 1440p 240Hz to 4K 165Hz-240Hz at this range

otherwise I'd probably say get a tandem display if you're going to buy brand new and want the best brightness levels on OLED Monitors so far.

The tandem displays do look interesting and they have been getting very good reviews. If they are priced well then it seems like one of those is the way to go.

I was thinking about waiting for GIGABYTE MO27Q28G, but the Alienware for £430 seams a good deal.

Yeah its tough really, on 1 hand the Dell should be solid and you have probably best CS for a OLED monitor, on otherhand the Gigabyte will be brighter, TB500 + 1500 peak IIRC vs TB400 + 1000, not sure how ABL is on Gigabyte but I know on my AW3225QF the Peak1000 mode feels useless outside of stuff like Night City in CP2077, dark areas/games basically to get the HDR pop, once you play something bright like Horizon Forbidden West the ABL kicks in so much that its dimmer then TB400 mode and most of the QD OLEDs are similar experience

I guess only thing is when will the Gigabyte be ready and what price at launch? if its £500 then it'll be a bloody good monitor if you don't mind the matte coating anyway

Yeah was thinking if its around the £500 mark would be a great buy, was hoping we would have had some news about release by now. Since it was meant to be 30th september.
But coming from a 7 year old ips, even if i get the dell it should be hopefully a big jump in picture

You might notice the text clarity and brightness isn't what your used too but you'll soon forget about that when you actually game, especially in a darker game if your into horror for example

No worries, I'm kinda tempted to grab 1 myself haha, I've been thinking of going back to 27 + 1440p for awhile now, 4K is lovely especially in older/easier to run games but lot of newer titles I'm needing DLSS Performance just to get the bare minimum FPS I'm comfortable with (80-90'ish)
