Alienware launched its new AW2726DM gaming monitor, which comes with a 27-inch QD-OLED panel, forming a distinctive economical option at a price of US$349.99 that may make gamers rethink before purchasing traditional alternatives. Although this version offers brightness levels that are considered elementary, it compensates by offering an ultra-fast refresh rate of 240 Hz with a display resolution of 1440 pixels to meet the aspirations of professional gamers, as the screen is currently available for purchase through the official website for users in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, so that Alienware benefits from the low cost of OLED screens at a time when the prices of other computer components are witnessing a significant increase.
Alienware fans will notice the absence of the usual display lighting in the company’s devices from this elegant black screen, but in return it was keen to include a wide range of comfortable adjustments that allow users to tilt, rotate the screen and adjust its height to suit various gaming environments. Regarding lighting, the screen comes with a typical brightness rate of 200 nits, which means that strong ambient light or sunlight may affect its clarity, with a peak brightness of 381 nits in High Dynamic Range mode. However, the company ensures that it delivers the same deep black levels and the wide HDR10 color gamut that characterizes the highest-priced versions on the market.
The maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz can be reached through the single DisplayPort 1.4 port, while the two HDMI 2.1 ports provide support for QHD resolution with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, while providing a dedicated headphone jack. The screen is an ideal choice for competitive gaming thanks to a response time of 0.03 milliseconds and support for AMD FreeSync Premium technology to prevent image stuttering despite the absence of official support for G-Sync technology. This special deal is completed with a standard three-year warranty that includes protection from the problem of screen burn-in, the possibility of which has been reduced thanks to the use of a graphite heatsink, so that this screen is a logical and ideal upgrade in light of the current economic challenges.
