Alienware’s 27-inch 4k 240hz Oled Monitor Is Only A Couple Months Away

Alienware is joining Asus, Samsung, and MSI successful making a silly “world’s first” declare — each 4 of them are now group to motorboat a genuinely breathtaking caller activity of 27-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitors pinch an fantabulous 240Hz refresh rate. Remember erstwhile I called Alienware’s 32-inch type nan champion show of CES past twelvemonth because it yet offered nan champion of each worlds? Now, you’ll beryllium tin to bargain a smaller 27-inch version, without a curved screen, successful a acold overmuch subtle creation that nary longer dominates your desk.

Like competitors that are utilizing nan aforesaid Samsung panel, nan Alienware AW2725Q has a technically 26-inch aboveground that offers 166 pixels per inch and 250 nits of emblematic brightness (1,000 nits of HDR astatine peak), while displaying 99 percent of nan DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Unlike immoderate competitors, though, Alienware’s G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro aboveground only offers DisplayPort 1.4 alternatively than DisplayPort 2.1, which could theoretically mean dealing pinch nan occasional Display Stream Compression (DSC) hiccup to get your 4K astatine 240Hz. It too features a brace of HDMI 2.1 ports that relationship 4K astatine 240 pinch HDR, VRR, ALLM, and eARC for Dolby Atmos passthrough. There’s nary USB-C video in, but nan 15-pound show does relationship a very basal USB-A hub and a azygous USB-C larboard pinch 15W charging.

The show supports Dolby Vision HDR and offers a three-year burn-in warranty — pinch a graphite expanse “placed betwixt nan expanse layers” to thief conflict burn-in and image retention, affirmative “AI-based technology” that “actively monitors on-screen images and makes adjustments to thief forestall burn-in.”

For now, nan champion constituent it has going for it complete nan title is simply a diligent worth and merchandise window: March for $900 successful nan US aliases $1,230 CAD successful Canada. (Alienware’s competitors for nan 32-inch type took a bully spot longer to deed nan market, and I wonderment if that’ll beryllium nan aforesaid this time.) The show will really deed China this play and get successful EMEA territories successful April.
