Alienware Unleashes World's Fastest Refresh Rate of 500Hz on a Fast IPS Gaming Monitor and Bolsters Aurora R15 Desktop at CES 2023
Today, Alienware crushes new barriers with the introduction of the world's fastest refresh rate of 500Hzi on a Fast IPS Gaming Monitor and the evolved Aurora R15 gaming desktop with AMD technology. These industry-leading display and desktop advancements further Alienware's competitive edge, underscoring our longtime legacy as both technology pioneers and gamers at heart. Following last year's incredible portfolio upgrades, we're full throttle into 2023 with no signs of slowing down.
Introducing the monitor with the world's fastest refresh rate of 500Hzi, the Alienware 500 Hz Gaming Monitor (AW2524H), a CES 2023 Innovation Award and Best of Innovation winner, delivers the world-class speed today's champions demand. Coming in at a 24.5-inch full high-definition (FHD) resolution with a supersonic refresh rate of 500 Hz overclocked (480 Hz native) on a Fast IPS panel, this elite display offers incredible frame rates to deliver stunning motion clarity in fast-paced games and help gamers clinch victory.
Designed for highly competitive gamers, the 500 Hz Gaming Monitor also offers new functional elements such as a built-in retractable headset hanger and new hexagonal base structure which occupies a smaller footprint so you can place your gaming keyboard and mouse to your convenience and just focus on slaying the competition. The improved design was based on feedback from professional esports players (including those on Team Liquid) as well as the Alienware gaming community.
Performance and speed win games, and with the 500 Hz Gaming Monitor, your gameplay will be fully optimized to enable split-second reactions for those clutch moments that matter most. Help eliminate blur and ghosting in fast-moving images with ultra-low latency at 0.5 ms GtG response timeii so you can play with confidence knowing your pixels are performing to their maximum potential, allowing you to do the same. This display builds on the existing legacy of the Alienware line-up, delivering specific refinements for competitive gamers looking to edge out the competition.
Alienware's 500 Hz Gaming Monitor comes standard with NVIDIA's Reflex Analyzer, allowing gamers to capture end-to-end system latency and deliver a precise measurement of their PC's performance. The stunning IPS panel also features sRGB 99% color coverage and VESA DisplayHDR 400 for wider viewing angles that deliver accurate, consistent colors and vibrant, lifelike visuals to enhance the entire gaming experience. This bold and expressive monitor is also stacked with:
Announced a few months back, Alienware's flagship Aurora R15 is designed with expressive curves and an iconic, sculpted shape that houses powerful performance. Originally configured with 13th Gen Intel Core K-Series processors, the latest Aurora now offers AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors and Intel 13th Gen 65 W Desktop processor options. Later this winter, we will also introduce AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics options.
Intentional craftsmanship from the inside out showcases a clean and organized interior through clear side doors with up to 8 AlienFX lighting zones that shine pleasantly across the powerful internal components. Available in two fan-favorite colorways, Lunar Lightiii and Dark Side of the Moon, the head-turning Aurora R15 was uniquely 360o designed to look truly stunning from any angle.
A CES 2023 Innovation Awards Honoree, this beautifully crafted rig is outfitted with performance-driven architecture updates that support the latest generation of graphics and processor technologies. The R15 generation of Aurora desktops has a re-engineered chassis for airflow, cooling, and performance that is designed to take on higher-powered gaming components for the best desktop gaming experience possible.

EDIT: Talking about the pre-build desktops, monitors are fine if not great.
If the Alienware is cheaper than an alternative or similarly priced brand I don't see the problem with an Alienware screen.
I'm getting my popcorn ready to see how the 7ms of current top-shelf, ultrafast IPS panels respond to that much overdrive, because sure, the "on paper" rise time of 2-3ms from 10-90% looks impressive, but when it carries on to 130% of the value you asked for, it looks like utter garbage.
No wonder RTINGs recommend not using the fastest response times on these panels. You can have the right image after 7ms the right way, or the horrific nightmare-fuel way. Whichever option you choose, it's taking 7ms!Before the Odyssey G7 came along, Dell were really the only company other than Asus to bring a VA panel's black response time down to reasonable values. Everyone else was serving up numbers in the 30-45ms range for the critical 0-20 transition, which is your classic "VA black smear"
16.9ms was outstanding black performance for zero overshoot back in 2019.
I was referring to the pre-build PC's, my bad I did not make that clear.
