Our verdict
The Alienware AW2725Q Monitor takes the performance lead with a 15% higher overall score, driven by its more shader cores, more of memory, and higher TFLOPS of compute power. In gaming benchmarks at 1440p, it delivers roughly 0% more frames per second across demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2.
However, the Alienware AW2725Q Monitor tells a compelling value story. At $900 versus the S95D 55" QD-OLED's $1800 price tag, it costs 100% less while delivering performance that's only 15% behind. Its of memory is still more than enough for 1440p and even 4K gaming in most titles.
Our recommendation: for the majority of gamers targeting 1440p or even 4K with upscaling enabled, the Alienware AW2725Q Monitor is the smarter purchase. The S95D 55" QD-OLED only makes sense if you need the absolute maximum performance for native 4K ray tracing, professional 3D rendering, or AI workloads where the extra VRAM and compute power provide a tangible advantage.
