Dell Alienware AW2725DF
Now that its price has fallen well below launch, it is one of the strongest high-refresh OLEDs for the money.

Our verdict
The AW2725DF pairs a 1440p QD-OLED panel with a 360Hz refresh rate, which reviewers credit with some of the clearest motion of any monitor. PCWorld and RTINGS both praise its deep blacks, vivid color and low input lag, and Dell's three-year warranty covers burn-in. Full-screen HDR brightness is low, text clarity in Windows is not as crisp as LCD, and the HDMI port tops out at 144Hz. There is no USB-C input and no speakers.
