Calls the dual-mode 4K/1080p IPS monitor an excellent do-it-all gaming display with fast response and vibrant colour, with price versus OLED the only complaint.

What do critics say about the Alienware AW2725QF?
Windows Central90
A joy for gaming with smooth motion, nice colour and a sturdy adjustable stand, though the dual-mode idea suits a niche audience.
Tom's Hardware90
One of the fastest and most versatile gaming monitors for the money, with low input lag in both its 4K and 360Hz modes.
TechRadar80
A very quick, crisp 4K IPS gaming panel whose 1080p pixel-doubling mode works well enough.
PCMag70
A reasonable compromise for gamers wanting 4K plus a high-refresh 1080p mode, but HDR is weak and the reviewer prefers the OLED sibling for most buyers.
PCGamesN83est.
The reviewer finds this 27-inch IPS screen an unusually flexible and well-priced pick, switching between 4K at 180Hz and 1080p at 360Hz.
