Our Verdict

MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED

Dell Alienware AW2725DF

The MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED and the Dell Alienware AW2725DF are both 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitors. Both monitors have outstanding gaming performance, an extremely fast response time, vivid colors, and exceptional contrast. However, the MSI is considerably larger and curved, providing a more immersive gaming experience. It also has added productivity features such as a KVM switch and DisplayPort Alt Mode with 65W of power delivery. However, it has a considerably lower maximum refresh rate of 175Hz compared to the Dell's 360Hz, so motion is much smoother on the Dell.
