At CES 2024, Alienware announced two new QD-OLED gaming monitors, AW3225QF and AW2725DF. Now, the two monitors are available to purchase in the US.
Alienware AW3225QF
The Alienware AW3225QF has a 31.6-inch QD-OLED display panel from Samsung Display with 1700R curvature, a 3,840 x 2,160 pixels resolution, and a 240Hz refresh rate. The company is calling it the “world’s first 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor.” It is an Nvidia G-Sync Compatible monitor with support for VESA AdaptiveSync. It supports Dolby Vision and comes with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. According to Alienware, it covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and has a 1000 cd/m2 peak brightness in HDR.
Connectivity options include 2x HDMI 2.1 ports, 1x DisplayPort 1.4 port, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B port, and 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. It has AlienFX Lighting at the rear and comes with a stand that has height, tilt, and swivel adjustments. The company is offering a three-year warranty on the product for OLED burn-in, which is usually the main concern for people buying this type of monitor.
Alienware AW2725DF
The Alienware AW2725DF has a 26.7-inch QD-OLED screen with a 2,560 x 1,440 pixels resolution and a 360Hz refresh rate. This display panel also comes from Samsung Display. Unlike the larger model, this one is flat, and it has AMD FreeSync Premium Pro instead of Nvidia G-Sync. There is, however, VESA AdaptiveSync onboard. You also get support for Dolby Vision and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. According to the brand, it covers 99.3% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and has a 1000 cd/m2 peak brightness in HDR.
Connectivity options include 1x HDMI 2.1 port, 2x DisplayPort 1.4 ports, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B port, and 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. This model too comes with AlienFX Lighting, a stand with height, tilt, and swivel adjustment, and a 3-year burn-in warranty. This model has two direct rivals — MSI MPG 271QRX and Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 — which were also announced at CES 2024.
