This is obviously aimed at the competitive esports market.
Dell has just announced the Alienware AW2527HX QD-OLED gaming monitor, which has bells and whistles to spare. First of all, it’s the fastest monitor in the company’s history, with an astonishing 560Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time.
This refresh rate is so fast that it risks being excessive for the vast majority of consumers. This is not true for competitive esports players, however. They want to have every advantage possible. To that end, the screen was built with input from esports organization Team Liquid.
This is a high-quality 25-inch screen, even beyond speed. The QD-OLED panel offers 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, infinite contrast, V-band subpixels to keep text and images sharp, and a matte anti-reflective coating to minimize glare. This is another boon for competitive gamers, as a quick glare can easily ruin a perfect performance.
The monitor includes a DisplayPort 2.1 connection and is compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync, which helps reduce tearing. It comes with a telescopic stand with a wide adjustment range, with a design that frees up desk space for a diagonal keyboard. The bezels are extremely narrow and there is a flip-up headset holder on the back. All of these little design elements are sure to appeal to competitive gamers looking for the most efficient setup.
Finally, the company offers a 3-year warranty that covers OLED burn-in. The Alienware AW2527HX monitor will be available in early 2027. We don’t have pricing details yet.
