Description:
Alienware has released a dual resolution monitor that offers both 4K and 
1080p gaming for PC and console users.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Alienware has just released the AW2725QF, which is a not-so catchy name for a 
new 21-inch gaming monitor that features two distinct display modes. This 
includes a native 1920x1080p (FHD) mode with a blisteringly fast 360Hz 
refresh rate and a native 3840x2160p (4K) mode with a lower (yet still very 
snappy) 180Hz refresh rate. 

Designed for both console and PC gaming, this feature means that you will no 
longer have to choose between a monitor with a higher refresh rate, which 
would be ideal for competitive online games like Counter-Strike 2 or Call of 
Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , and a 4K display for fully appreciating some of the 
best single-player adventures such as Baldurs Gate 3 . This alone could very 
well make it the best gaming monitor or at least one of the best monitors for 
PS5 and best monitors for Xbox Series X on the market for certain players. 

If youre wondering how it actually works, the feature is accomplished by 
combining pixels. If you, for example, switch from the 4K mode to the FHD 
one, four pixels are combined into one, allowing for a greater refresh rate 
in the process. You can change between the two modes at the press of a 
button, which seems incredibly convenient. Alienware provided this handy 
chart that explains the feature. (Image credit: Alienware) 

This isnt the monitors only feature either, as it offers a DCI-P3 95% color 
space and Delta E<2 accuracy for vivid, life-like colors. It also has Nvidia 
G-Sync and Vesa AdaptiveSync certifications for PC users, in addition to a 
HDMI 2.1 FRL and variable refresh rate (VRR) support for complete console 
compatibility. 

In terms of connectivity, the AW2725QF has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a single 
DisplayPort 1.4 connector, plus three USB-A ports and one USB-C port (all 
connected via a USB-B 3.2 Gen1 upstream port) for your PC peripherals. 

The monitor is currently available in China, though a worldwide release has 
already been confirmed for September 12. Regional pricing information will be 
available soon. You might also like... I tried the new Black Myth: Wukong
