Today at CES 2026, we are expanding this legacy and introducing two new trailblazing monitors—the new Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor and the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED Monitor. Both are packed with world-first innovations.

• The Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor is the world's first 52-inch ultrawide curved 6K monitor with IPS Black panel technology. Designed for financial traders, data scientists, engineers and executives who manage multiple applications simultaneously, it replaces multi-monitor setups with one seamless display. It's also the first monitor to achieve the highest tier of TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, emitting up to 60% less blue light when compared to competition, helping to reduce eye fatigue during extended work sessions.
• The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED Monitor, a CES 2026 Innovation Award honoree, is the world's first commercial DisplayHDR True Black 500 QD-OLED monitor with Anti-Glare Low-Reflectance (AGLR), specifically engineered for creative professionals in media, entertainment and design. Offering unmatched visual brilliance with its QD-OLED infinite contrast and exceptional color precision, it gives professionals full control of color-critical workflows like film and video editing, color grading and product design.

Dell's gaming division Alienware has a new type of OLED display panels for its new gaming laptops that has a new type of anti-glare coating that "diffuses reflections without sacrificing color quality." The new Alienware 16X Aurora, as well as the 16 Area-51, will sport the new OLED panels that deliver up to 620 nits peak HDR brightness and are VESA HDR True Black 500 certified. The new OLED display panels have a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, 240 Hz refresh rate and a 0.2 ms response time (not GtG, as that is 3 ms). The 16X Aurora, 16 Area-51, 18 Area-51 have all been upgraded with Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. All three models will be available sometime in Q1.

Alienware also teased what it calls an ultra-slim gaming laptop at 17 mm thick that will be available in both 14- and 16-inch sizes. The company will also be adding an entry-level gaming laptop in the future, but again didn't go into much in terms of details, except saying that it will deliver strong gaming performance. Finally, Alienware announced an updated Area-51 Desktop that will be powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU when it launches next month. No pricing was revealed, but we expect all of these products to be on the pricey side.

This time last year, Dell retired its performance XPS brand, but it appears that the company has had regrets and it's now bringing it back, at least to a pair of new laptops for now. The new models are simply named the XPS 14 and XPS 16 and although the design doesn't really scream XPS performance laptop, Dell has managed to pack in some interesting features. Starting with the display, the 14-inch models come with a 2.8K tandem OLED option with 20-120 Hz refresh rate, whereas the 16-inch models come with a 2K LCD option that offers 1 to 120 Hz variable refresh rate, where the 1 Hz mode is used for static content. The chassis is of course made from CNC aluminium and the screens are protected with a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus.

Under the hood, these first two models will be powered by Intel's range of Core Ultra Series 3 processors, with the base model being the Core Ultra X7 358H with Intel Arc B390 graphics. Currently no other CPU options are listed on Dell's website, but we presume other options will be offered later. The CPU is paired with 32 GB of 9600 MT/s LPDDR5X dual channel memory and a 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD is currently the only storage option. Both sizes have three Thunderbolt 4 ports with DP 2.1 and power delivery support, as well as a single 3.5 mm audio jack. Other features include an 8 Megapixel, 4K capable HDR webcam, four speakers and dual microphones. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 support is also part of the package, alongside a 3-cell 70 Wh battery for both sizes, and a 100 W USB PD charger. The XPS 14 starts at US$2,050 with the XPS 16 at US$2,200 and both are available to order now. Dell is promising more options with lower prices at some time next month and later this year, Dell will offer Ubuntu 24.04 as an OS option. Dell will also be bringing the XPS 13 back later this year.
