Dell’s Alienware-series are often regarded as some of the finest gaming monitors in the business for their immaculate visual fidelity and heavenly performance rates.
One such case is the Alienware (AW2725QF), a mighty electronic device with a unique dual mode that can make it function like two gaming monitors in one, and it’s now on an early Black Friday sale for $449.99 at Dell.
Why buy this gaming monitor?
These include an IPS Edge LED 16:9 screen, a 0.5ms response time, 500 nits of brightness max, NVIDIA G-Sync VRR technology, HDR600 support, an adjustable stand, and an assortment of ports (two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, one USB-B, three USB-A, one USB-C 3.2)
The biggest selling point of the Alienware (AW2725QF) gaming monitor, however, is its unique Dual Mode. Essentially, this gaming monitor can switch between having 3840 x 2160, 4K resolution with a 180Hz refresh rate or 1920 x 1080, Full HD resolution with a 320Hz refresh rate.
With this, you will be able to swap between 4K/180Hz mode to take in the beautiful visuals of movies or cinematic-heavy single-player games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to 1080p/320Hz mode so you can get the best framerate performance out of competitive PvP titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 without worrying about input latency.
Considering the insanely complicated technology it possesses and high-quality visuals and framerate it can push, I’m shocked this gaming monitor only costs $549.99 at retail; it’s basically two monitors in one.
I’m glad it doesn’t cost more, as this is an amazing gaming monitor that any gaming enthusiast and casual movie-streaming viewer should get their hands on.
Fortunately for us, its price tag has become even more affordable thanks to this early Black Friday 18% bargain at Dell, reducing it from $549.99 to $449.99 at Dell.
