Key Highlights

A 0.5ms GTG response-time specification and a 1ms GTG Extreme mode help keep fast-moving action responsive.
HDR and Rich Colour
VESA DisplayHDR 600 support and 95% DCI-P3 coverage bring greater visual depth to compatible content.
Two Gaming Modes, One Monitor
The AW2725QF is built around two native display modes, giving you flexibility to prioritise image detail or refresh rate based on the game you play.
Visual Detail Mode
4K UHD · 180Hz
Play at 3840 × 2160 for detailed environments, sharp text and richly rendered visuals in compatible games.
Competitive Mode
Full HD · 360Hz
Switch to 1920 × 1080 for a higher refresh rate that suits esports and fast-paced competitive titles.
In the supported modes, the high refresh rate can make movement and tracking appear smoother when your PC produces enough frames per second. The 0.5ms GTG response-time specification and 1ms GTG Extreme mode further support responsive pixel transitions.
For the best experience, check the connection and graphics settings required for your selected mode. Dell advises switching the monitor's resolution mode before launching a game. Actual refresh rates may depend on the input, selected mode and connected hardware.
Sharp 4K Visuals and HDR
In 4K mode, the AW2725QF delivers 3840 × 2160 resolution across its 27-inch screen. The high pixel density helps produce fine details in games, films, photographs and desktop applications. Full HD mode offers a lower rendering resolution for games where high frame rates take priority.
The Fast IPS panel supports 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage and 1.07 billion colours. A typical brightness rating of 400 cd/m² supports clear everyday viewing, while HDR peak brightness is rated at up to 600 cd/m² under specified conditions.
VESA DisplayHDR 600 and Dolby Vision support help the monitor display compatible HDR content with a wider range of brightness and colour. The actual HDR experience depends on the content, software, input and selected settings.
The anti-glare screen surface helps manage reflections, while ComfortView Plus is designed to reduce blue-light emissions without relying solely on a software colour filter. Wide 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles help maintain a consistent image when viewed off-centre.
