One of the best 4K QD-OLED gaming monitors is cheaper than ever

Alienware’s 27-inch 4K QD-OLED, the AW2725Q, hit shelves about a month ago. It was the first of several faster, better models to launch after being announced at CES 2025, with a 240Hz refresh rate, VRR, and a high 166 pixels per inch display. In short, it rules, so I’m tickled to find it already selling at a 17 percent discount at Dell’s site. Normally $899, it sank to its all-time best price of $746.99 before tax. There’s a slight catch, which is that you can only get this price if you’re signed up for Dell Rewards (they’re free to enable when you create a Dell account). The good thing is that you can sign up right now to get a user-specific coupon code to use on this purchase.

Once you’re signed in, go to your Dell Rewards page here, click the “Benefits” button at the middle of the page, the, select “Dell Benefits.” From there, you’ll be able to generate a code to get 10% off an Alienware monitor.

Some more context on the value here: In March, Alienware announced a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor coming this summer for $549.99. The company acknowledged this price could change due to tariffs — even before the recent, stock market-crashing import taxes were announced. That means it may not actually cost $549.99 when it comes out, so consider this monitor, with its higher resolution, higher refresh rate, and more features, a very good value for just $200 more.

If you sat out the first couple waves of OLED gaming monitor releases, you’ll find the tech has matured nicely. On top of Alienware’s 3-year warranty that protects against burn-in, the AW2725Q sports an anti-reflective coating that looks more glossy than other OLED monitors I’ve tested (not TV levels of glossy, but somewhere between matte and glossy).

• The Lego Icons Atreides Royal Ornithopter set from the Dune films is down to its lowest price ever at Amazon. A 20 percent discount may not seem like much (a final price of $131.95), but it’s the cheapest we’ve ever seen for this 1,369-piece kit. It includes the Ornithopter vehicle, plus eight mini figures, from Paul Atreides and other major and minor characters to “long Baron,” a name that I’ve lovingly given the extremely silly and tall Baron Harkonnen mini figure.

• Xbox gift cards are 10 percent off at Newegg, so you can get $100 digital gift cards for $90. These gift cards can be used on anything available on the Xbox or Microsoft store, ranging from Fortnite in-game currency to snatching Game Pass, or renting a movie.

• If you’re on the hunt for a not-too-expensive gaming laptop (and you aren’t the most discerning person when it comes to specs), this Asus TUF model sports a 16.1-inch 1080p screen with a 165Hz refresh rate. As for its internal hardware, it’s packed with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, a Radeon RX7700S GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Normally $1,099.99, it’s $699.99 through Best Buy’s eBay seller page.
