Alienware 500 Hz Gaming Monitor Leaks Ahead of CES Reveal
Based on a leak on Twitter, Alienware is planning on announcing a 500 Hz capable gaming monitor at CES. According to the leaker, the new monitor will carry the AW2524AH model name, suggesting it's a 25-inch monitor. The general tech specs aren't likely to impress most people, as the display panel is as one would expect, only a 1080p panel, although it's at least a fast IPS panel rather than a TN panel.
The AW2524H delivers 480 Hz natively over DP, but has an OC setting which makes it reach 500 Hz. Based on the leaked picture of the rear of the display, it'll have some RGB elements, as well as a height adjustable stand, which most likely also allows the display to be rotated. The leaker didn't provide any kind of pricing, but expect this one to be a very expensive 1080p display.

Anything less than 100 is a blurry mess to me though.
I'd trade 250-300Hz for a resolution bump to 1440p and OLED/mini-led anytime...after all OLED gaming monitors are coming en masse to CES and they have insane response time.
I'm done using outdated panel with mediocre lightbleed, my long awaited upgrade Q1 2023 is toward oled or mini-led, period.
Although it be 660, chances are they will have to find some other selling point.
Sadly they are quite old, so they don't support modern features like HDR10 despite having native 10-bit panels.
Anything above seems to be just marketing gimmick, currently only OLED is able to make such claims believable (as it doesn't have this limitation).
If you take a gander at reviews for those displays, even for their time they did not blow any doors down.
If these displays were actually that amazing, they would still be around today.
Like with these 15.6" QHD or 4k displays. No you stupid shits, give me 1080p at 15.6" and 17.3" and make it fucking OLED high refresh
and 240hz OLED 1080p at 23.8" anything above that for 1080p is too pixelated. ffs these companies just don't get it.
15.6" -23.8" 1080p OLED at 165hz-240hz
27" 1440p OLED 165hz
32" 4k OLED 120hz
also, make two variants, glossy and matte for each model, I know they can do it, they just need to stop being fucking lazy, give the consumer a choice. useless
Unfortunately plasma seems to have gone away because it was difficult to make them above 1080p for cheap, used more power, and burn in is simply never able to be completely mitigated. Now burn in is I think different from image retention, in that "burn-in" may refer to permanent image burned in, while image retention would be temporary. My plasma does retain the image for static objects if they are on the screen too long, they are not easy to notice if not looking at a pure color background, but they do show up. Now they do go away over time if I start using it with different images on screen, but say I play a game for a significant amount with a static ui for a month, that ui might faintly be seen for a good 1-2 months if I start playing a new game. So far I do not notice any permanent burn in over my 10 years of ownership, though I of course made conscious effort to make sure I don't leave a static image on for too long.
I unfortunately haven't been able to get an oled yet, so I don't know how they would compare to plasma.
I used to have a 120hz screen and my roommate had a 144. Between that and 60 yes noticeable difference.
120 to 144 basically indiscernible difference. Nice thing about 120, is that 24, 30, 60 all divide evenly into it, unlike 144, which is better with videos/pull-up/etc.
But hey, if you're good with marketing I'm sure you could sell snow to someone in the arctic.
