Dell is known for makingAlienwaregaming monitors with exceptional visuals and speed on their side, but the next model will embrace both qualities within a single package. While the upcoming AW2725QF isn’t the first dual-resolution screen to emerge on the scene, I’m excited to switch from crisp UHD visuals to a rapid 360Hz refresh rate on the fly.
Dubbed the Alienware AW2725QF, the company’s nextbest gaming monitorcontender looks fairly ordinary at a glance, featuring the normal Dell hallmarks. Where things differ this time is with its dual-resolution panel lurking within, as the IPS display supports both 4K 180Hz and 1080p 360Hz. Effectively, this screen can produce the same results as UHD models and theAlienware AW2724HFusing a single IPS display.
From competitive to adventurous

I’ve never liked the idea of deciding between ahigh refresh rate monitoror a4K monitor for gaming. That perhaps explains why I tend to gravitate towards screens like theSamsung OLED G6that strike a balance between resolution and refresh rate, but I’d ideally like a panel that can be both furiously fast when needed and serve up delicious UHD visuals.
Now that dual-resolution displays like the AW2725QF are becoming a reality, we might finally be at a stage where choosing refresh rate over resolution is a thing of the past. Sure, there’s always going to be a divide between ultra-fast and the highest resolutions possible, and proper enthusiasts will still likely opt for speeds upwards of 500Hz for that competitive advantage. But, for everyone else out there, having both 4K and 1080p 360Hz modes available will be super accommodating, especially for those players who want to give some serious performance-driven first-person shooter sessions a go.

It’s worth noting while I’m excited about this specific Alienware configuration, I’m already putting a dual-resolution monitor to the test right now with elevated capabilities. Specifically, I’ve been using theLGUltraGear 32GS95UE-B, which can switch between 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz using an OLED panel. Those monstrous abilities naturally come with an elevated $1,399.99 / £1,300 price tag, so while it trumps Alienware’s new screen on specs, its MSRP could be the deciding factor here.

On that note, Dell says it’ll confirm pricing for the Alienware AW2725QF very soon, and the screen will be officially available worldwide from September 12, 2024.
