Dell Alienware AW2726DL 27-Inch QHD 280Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

The Dell Alienware AW2726DL is a 27-inch flat IPS gaming monitor designed for competitive and immersive PC gaming. Running at a native QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 — commonly referred to as 2K or WQHD — it delivers noticeably sharper detail than standard 1080p panels at the same screen size, with a pixel density of 109 PPI across a 16:9 aspect ratio. At the heart of this monitor's appeal is its 280Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms GTG response time in Extreme Mode (also available at 2ms GTG in Super Fast and 4ms GTG in Fast mode). This combination produces fluid, blur-free motion during fast-paced titles, helping to keep screen action sharp and responsive. Variable refresh rate support is provided through both AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync certifications, which work across compatible GPU ecosystems to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering without introducing perceptible input lag. The IPS panel offers wide 178°/178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles with a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Colour reproduction extends to 93% of the DCI-P3 colour space with 10-bit colour depth achieved via 8-bit + FRC, supporting a palette of up to 1.07 billion colours. HDR10 support means HDR-enabled game content is rendered with expanded brightness headroom, backed by a 400 cd/m² brightness rating. Anti-glare treatment on the 3H hardness screen surface reduces ambient reflection, while TÜV Rheinland 3-star eye comfort certification and Low Blue Light technology are included to ease fatigue during extended sessions. Connectivity is handled via DisplayPort and HDMI, with HDCP support included. There are no built-in speakers. The ergonomic stand supports height adjustment up to 130mm, tilt 5° to +21°, swivel 173° to +173°, and ±90° pivot, providing considerable flexibility for single or multi-monitor setups. The monitor is rated BFR-free, PVC-free, arsenic-free glass, and mercury-free. A cable lock slot is present for physical security. Dell covers this monitor with a 3-year warranty.
