Our verdict
The Alienware AW3225QF Monitor takes the performance lead with a 37% 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 U2724D Monitor tells a compelling value story. At $370 versus the Alienware AW3225QF Monitor's $900 price tag, it costs 143% less while delivering performance that's only 37% behind. Its of memory is still more than enough for 1440p and even 4K gaming in most titles.
