Alienware Announces 24.5-Inch 1080p 360 Hz and 27-Inch 1440p 280 Hz Monitors
Dell has launched a pair of new gaming focused displays under its Alienware badge and both are high refresh rate monitors. The 25-inch (or rather 24.5-inch) model goes under the model name AW2523HF and has a 1080p panel with a 360 Hz refresh rate. It supports Freesync Premium and it also supports VESA AdaptiveSync. It's said to have a 400 nits peak brightness fast IPS panel that has a colour gamut that covers 99 percent of the sRGB spectrum. Inputs consist of one DP 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as a USB-B 3.0 input and four USB-A 3.0 outputs
The 27-inch model is called the AW2723DF and it sports 1440p resolution and here we're looking at a fast nano IPS panel that has a native 240 Hz refresh rate, but it can be pushed up to 280 Hz using an overclocking option. It supports FreeSync Premium, G-sync Compatible and AdaptiveSync, so here all your bases are covered regardless of which GPU you hook it up to. It's also an HDR 600 display with a typical peak brightness of 450 cd/m² and it has a wider colour gamut that supports 95 percent of the DCI-P3 spectrum. This is still an edge lit display, so don't expect amazing HDR performance. Connectivity is the same as for the AW2523HF, although it's said to support Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture, which the 25-inch model apparently doesn't. The AW2523HF will be available in early September for $450, while the AW2723DF will launch in early October for $650.

On the other hand, I had a 2048x1152 display for a few years...
Edit: Have a 14" laptop 1080p though.
My main desktop 1440p.
Samsung had one model with two different stands, Acer had two and HP had one.
I used to drool over the thought of having a 27" 2048x1152 display when I was younger, now have a 27" 1440p monitor, and it feels "small".
WHEN I’m gonna actually get one is valid. I don’t have a clue but knew that because of who I ordered it from and the actual availability.
I have 2 friends who have it and outside of one having a borked RGB backlight(who cares) both haven’t had any complaints so far, both on RDNA2 as well(one is actually on a 6800M) so I’ve already gotten a good preview of what to expect.The Alienware has 2 different “anti burn in” measures. After X hours of use it will pop and advise to run a pixel refresh takes about 5 minutes to run, It also runs another one when the monitor is off for anti burn in measures.
OLED is great but for computer monitors it's impossible to ignore the burn in problems, QD-OLED is supposed to improve on that but it's still to early to see the results on it.
