Today at CES 2024, Alienware is building on our legacy of display innovation with two new world's-first QD-OLED gaming monitors. Introducing the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3225QF) and Alienware 27 360 Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW2725DF) - two new, advanced gaming displays that expand our celebrated, award-winning QD-OLED family which first debuted at CES 2022.

These new models are the first of their kind. On the left, you're looking at the world's first 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor with Dolby Vision HDR designed for you to see every detail in astounding color and contrast. On the right, beauty and speed come together in the world's first 360 Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor, providing you with 360 Hz refresh rate and QD-OLED infinite contrast in QHD resolution (2560x1440). All these features combined into a single package helps position any gamers with a clear competitive advantage. (For a quick refresher on QD-OLED technology, click here.) No matter whether you are playing racing games where speed is of the essence, or simulation and action-adventure games where sharp visual fidelity is key, there is now an Alienware QD-OLED gaming monitor perfect for you.



Feast your eyes on the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3225QF)
Introducing the AW3225QF, a 2024 CES Innovation Award Honoree, which marries beauty and performance for the ultimate visual experience. The 4K curved QD-OLED panel is intentionally crafted to help reduce reflection and also to capture expanded peripheral vision with infinite contrasts, true blacks and peak luminance up to 1000nits for a more comfortable viewing experience. As a result, you can be fully immersed in the game and won't miss a beat.

Designed to meet the needs of a PC gamer or content creator who demands the finest in 4K visuals, the AW3225QF has a fast 240 Hz native refresh rate, 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time, Dolby Vision HDR and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400. With Dolby Vision HDR technology, you get to enjoy an astonishing and more realistic picture filled with incredible brightness, wider contrast, more vivid colors and crisper detail. Dolby Vision achieves this by delivering highlights up to 40 times brighter and blacks that are 10 times darker than a standard picture, along with colors never seen before on a screen - to fully immerse you in your favorite entertainment.

Ease the frustration of screen tears and stutter with smooth gameplay achieved with NVIDIA G-SYNC and VESA AdaptiveSync. The AW3225QF is NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, validated by NVIDIA to give you a good Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) experience for tear-free and stutter-free gaming.

Not on PC? Don't fret. Our high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 FRL (Fixed Rate Link) allows players to achieve 120 Hz performance from the latest next-generation game consoles at 4K resolution, coming standard with VRR support and auto low-latency for first-class controller responsivity.

Take the experience even further by switching on the dedicated console mode, which implements source-based tone mapping for an optimized HDR performance. Additionally, eARC compatibility allows use of Dolby Atmos speakers or any other soundbars with an eARC port without the need for additional optical cables hindering your aesthetic.

Unleash unrivaled speed with the Alienware 27 360 Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor
Competitive gamers as well as streamers looking for the best in QD-OLED technology can look no further than this, yet another 2024 CES Innovation Award Honoree, the AW2725DF. It combines competition-ready speed with astounding color performance in QHD resolution. This monitor lets you react to in-game situations at high speed with up to 360 Hz native refresh rate. Its 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time allows for clear motion and near-instantaneous pixel response so you can officially say farewell to blur and ghosting. You will also experience stunningly rich color and clarity with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400.

The AW2725DF comes packed with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA AdaptiveSync technology that puts an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free performance at virtually any framerate.

Our gamer-centric design offers a fully adjustable ergonomic stand for any desktop configuration, paired with a minimalized hexagonal base providing gamers with more real estate for their peripherals. Maximum airflow is achieved with 360-degree cooling vents for those extended marathon gaming sessions.

Display superiority
As a quick refresher, QD-OLED refers to the integration of the best qualities of OLED with the stunning brightness inherent to Quantum Dot technology, leaving you with enhanced color accuracy and contrast for that superior visual experience. Alienware monitors' 3-layer structure of Quantum Dots allows blue self-emitting pixels and a layer of QD nanoparticles on top to create the other colors you see on the screen.

The AW3225QF and AW2725DF possess infinite contrast ratio for incredible color detail and judder-free video playback, covering 99% and 99.3% of DCI-P3 gamut respectively and Delta E < 2 color accuracy delivering an astonishing performance.

Dell's ComfortView Plus, a TUV-certified built-in hardware solution that reduces harmful blue light without sacrificing true-to-life colors, keeps your eye wellness in mind for those marathon gaming sessions.

For gamers who are concerned with OLED burn-in issues, you will be pleased to know that both the AW3225QF and AW2725DF come with a 3-year limited OLED burn-in hardware warranty giving you that peace of mind while you game.

Sustainability is in our DNA
And, because we're serious about sustainability, all new Alienware monitors from 2023 onwards now arrive in a specially engineered recycled cardboard box, achieved by:
  • Reducing EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) foam usage
  • Removal of plastic clips and utilizing an ocean bound plastic handle
  • Being FSC certified and using 100% recycled cardboard
  • Beyond the box, both the AW3225QF and AW2725DF are made from 85% PCR (Post-consumer Recyclable) plastic and the stand is 100% recycled aluminium.

Target Pricing & Availability
Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3225QF) starting at $1,199.99 (US) / $1,499.99 (CA) - Available in North America on January 11, 2024.
Alienware 27 360 Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW2725DF) starting at $899.99 (US) / $1,199.99 (CA) - Availability coming soon

Price is really good on the 4k240hz, sadly it’s not flat which I need on a 16:9. If it was ultra wide, the curve would make sense but for a 16:9? Why did Alienware need to shoot themselves in the foot?

Having owned multiple curved monitors and a 1st gen uw curved, the curve is pointless unless you start hitting unnecessarily large sizes; was semi-excited until I noticed the curve.

At least there should be plenty of standard 32” 4k oleds following shortly. First one without a fan/audible fan noise gets my money.

I still own a curved TV and I hate it to death now. It was novelty and I was excited, but I won't ever buy a curved screen anymore. Also I see a lot of QC issues when it comes to desktop monitors with some curvature. So many cracks...

They should have kept that Samsung 4K panel flat.

I know some like curved displays but isn't that useless for 16/9 or 16/10 ? At least for me a price increase for a curved screen for that ratio is useless. For curved imho it's really for ultra wide screens that's it's justified.

I've been waiting 8 years for a glossy OLED 4K flat screen, I'm going to pick the MSI or Asus 4K one

And here I wanted the 1000r tighter curve like on the Samsung Neo G8 32"

The 800r Curve on the 45" LG Oled monitor is absolutely perfect.

Genuine question: isn't curved bad for fps games as it would make a distorted fov even more distorted with lines being curved by the monitor?

It’s not overly noticeable with a gentle curve, but the cheap 27” curved panel I had as a spare/test monitor was awful. I wouldnt personally recommend it for serious/competitive fps games, but im sure it doesnt bother some people. I also doubt FPS players are going to go for a 4k panel and cut their pointless 600 fps in 1/2-1/3 in this instance.

Curved panels dont belong in the 16:9 category, theres just no point unless youre sitting 3” away from a 55” panel.

when I worked at a ups store, every monitor that was returned was curved which had cracks.

I used to say if you look at them wrong they will crack.

I've been waiting for a curved 32" 4K OLED. The 32" model has a 1700R curve according to the Dell product page, which I think is a nice curve for this size if you're already used to curved monitors.

They're pretty expensive for now, hopefully we'll see some price drops or specials through the year.

More OLED godness please. I can't wait to throw out the last LCD panel in my life.

I want to see the new and updated 34 and 39 ultrawides first tho - full in depth-reviews.

I think 32 inch is kind of too big when its 16:9 and 27" is slightly too small and what I already have. Some middle-ground would be nice here. Probably going ultrawide tho. Already have a Dell 34 ultrawide that I use for some games.

HP Omen Transcend 32” 4k 240hz. 1×DisplayPort 2.1 ; 2×HDMI 2.1
But the release date is unknown :(

DP 2.1 don't really matter here, since DP1.4 and HDMI 2.1 both can do 240 Hz at 4K/UHD with DSC. This is why all the others have 1.4 pretty much.

DSC is loseless compression and you won't be able to tell the difference I bet.

DP2.1a is finalized now and this is what manufacturers have been waiting for. Later monitors will get DP 2.1a just like Nvidia 5000 series in Q4.

Supporting DP2.1 like Radeon 7000 before 2.1a was ready is like WiFi7 DRAFT routers. They are released before the spec is actually finalzed and perfected. I'd rather wait.
I even read that AMDs 7000 series don't support the full DP2.1 feature-set but they don't support 2.1a.

If you want flat 32" MSI has got you covered:
Hardware Unboxed already had received their unit for testing, Linus also had it in his QD-OLED video (MSI name and stand were covered up since it was a Samsung sponsored video).

OptimumTech had hands on with 27" model from MSI:

The problem with DP 2.1 enabled flat 32" models (from HP and Gigabyte) is that testing for those units will take longer so expect availability to be somewhere in the H2 of 2024. But hey, it's not like we have consumer grade GPUs with full DP 2.1 spec support.

Ignorance is bliss. Now i know i’m scammed :laugh:
Scammed? Not really, it's just that it will fall back to DSC (which is lossless) at higher resolution/refresh rate, which is still required even with full UHBR20 support:

Yeah, and than I can't wait that your throw your "godness" OLED, because of burn-in after few months of use. :wtf:
Had 10+ phones with OLED at this point. All worked flawlessly from day one till the end.
Had 5 OLED TVs and never seen any sign of burn-in at high brightness usage. I have not even seen retention. Only insane image quality, superior contrast and black levels with zero ghosting, backlight issues, bleeding and smearing.

Had OLED TV since 2016/2017 and never going back to inferior LCD. LCD is just horrible compared to OLED. Especially in a living room. LCD is dated tech.

I will buy OLED monitor this year for sure. Can't wait to leave my last LCD in the dumpster and get OLED image quality on PC as well.

I bet you don't even have experience with OLED. Burn-in is not a problem. You act like its 2015. OLED owned the high-end TV market for years at this point. Now PC monitors gets the same threatment.

Finally we can soon move away from low contrast levels, smearing, halo effect and backlight bleed, bad HDR, corner glow (ips/va glow), and mediocre viewing angles, just to name a few issues that LCD has. I will take a miniscule chance of burn-in any day over ALL THOSE ISSUES coming at day one.

Besides, most good OLED monitors have burn-in warranty. I will probably get Dell / Alienware because of 3 years, making this a non-issue.
