What reviewers and owners say

  • Tom's Hardware

    Positive

    Tom's Hardware found this $350 QD-OLED delivers premium-tier image quality, low input lag and motion clarity, though it lacks USB ports, speakers, an sRGB mode, and peak brightness.

  • PC Gamer

    Positive

    PC Gamer praises this 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED as one of the cheapest big-brand OLED gaming monitors, delivering fast OLED response and strong HDR at $350, though calibration, older Gen 3 panel tech, and limited connectivity hold it back.

  • r/OLED_Gaming · u/javitonoventero

    Critical

  • r/OLED_Gaming · u/Independent-Bee951

    Critical

    A buyer experienced brief black edge flashes on the AW2726DM that occur at 144Hz and 240Hz but disappear at 60Hz, unaffected by cable or settings changes.

Does the AW2726DM have USB-C?

Dell's specification table lists HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs and shows no USB-C ports, so plan on those two connections for video.
