Alienware continues to lead in gaming monitor technology with QD-OLED advancements. After captivating gamers first with our 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED model, we pushed boundaries even further by introducing a 32-inch model with 4K resolution, and a 27-inch model with a 360hz refresh rate last year. Now, in 2025, Alienware is back with yet another groundbreaking innovation - our latest QD-OLED innovation features the world's highest pixels per inch in any
OLED or QD-OLED monitor, providing gamers with unparalleled visual clarity, speed and immersion.

With the new Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, a CES 2025 Innovation Award Honoree, gamers and game developers alike have a multitude of reasons to be excited. Our latest innovation promises to redefine gaming experiences by combining cutting-edge technology that's ready for the advanced graphics of today and tomorrow.




Peak QD-OLED Performance
The Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor is where peak QD-OLED performance meets a stunning 4K resolution, all packed within a sleek 27-inch format. Thanks to a new ultra-precise manufacturing process, the flagship monitor reaches an impressive pixel density of 166 PPI (pixels per inch), setting a new standard for clarity in a QD-OLED gaming display.

But the new Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED isn't just about pixel clarity. It also features a blistering 240 Hz refresh rate, making it a top choice for those who demand smooth motion and responsive gameplay. On top of this, supreme color accuracy combined with an infinite contrast ratio and Dolby Vision HDR certification means games and media are clear, responsive, and stunningly vibrant. This extravagant performance comes packaged in Alienware's sleek new AW30 design language, which nods to Alienware's heritage of inducing technological prowess while evoking a new sense of mystery and transcendence.

Supreme Pixel Clarity
As gamers, we understand that visual clarity is crucial for the most optimal gaming experience. The new Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED stands out with its 166 PPI density - a new standard for pixel clarity in a QD-OLED panel - that sets the stage for ultra-detailed 4K (3840x2160) visuals. Whether you're exploring virtual worlds or creating gaming content, the crispness of this display ensures you'll never miss a single detail.

Outstanding Performance in Color and Motion
The Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED doesn't stop at pixel clarity; it also has excellent color accuracy and motion performance. With DCI-P3 99% color coverage and Delta E<2 color accuracy, the monitor delivers convincing, yet life-like colors that make virtual worlds come alive. With an infinite contrast ratio, along with Dolby Vision HDR and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certifications, colors have never been more vibrant, and contrasts are more striking than ever.

For gamers, the 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time means that every movement is fluid, and every action is lightning-fast. It is NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA AdaptiveSync certified, for a gaming experience free of stutter and tearing. This monitor also includes a Creator Mode, catering to gamers who wish to produce and consume content at the same time. Creator Mode offers the flexibility to switch between the native DCI-P3 and sRGB color spaces based on your requirements and allows adjustments to be made regarding gamma settings.

A New Iconic Design Made for Gamers
Alienware's commitment to innovation also extends to our new industrial design. The Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED, available in Interstellar Indigo color, debuts the AW30 design language—a tribute to Alienware's upcoming 30th anniversary. This new design draws inspiration from extraterrestrial phenomena, combining mystery, performance and functionality, while staying true to the brand's alien essence.

The monitor introduces revamped cable management, elegant 360-degree ventilation, and a small-footprint base for maximum space efficiency, blending sci-fi aesthetics with thoughtful functionality

The new On-Screen Display User Interface, along with full support for Alienware Command Center 6.6, offers a seamless and intuitive user experience. With HDMI 2.1 FRL, the monitor supports 4K 240 Hz via HDMI, Variable Refresh Rate, and Auto Low Latency Mode. On top of this, with HDMI 2.1 FRL eARC support, gamers can enjoy clear sound through Dolby Atmos certified speakers and other high-definition audio devices when connected to this monitor.

Anti Burn-in Technology and Warranty
The Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED features an enhanced AI algorithm specifically designed to prevent burn-in, ensuring long-lasting performance and visual quality. Complementing this, the monitor is equipped with an anti-burn-in graphite sheet that further protects the monitor from image retention. To provide further peace of mind, this monitor comes with an extensive 3-year warranty, which notably includes coverage for burn-in. This comprehensive support underscores Alienware's commitment to delivering enduring quality and reliability to its users.

Ultimate Visual Fidelity
Choosing the new Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED means opting for a monitor that surpasses expectations in every way. This monitor sets a new standard in gaming technology with its blend of performance, design, and functionality. This monitor is ideal for all - whether you are a tech enthusiast, gamer, or game developer, you simply cannot go wrong. The monitor is a testament, showcasing Alienware's dedication to ensuring users experience the most vibrant colors, along with the deepest blacks and sharpest details. Whether conquering gaming worlds or crafting digital art, the Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED elevates the experience in every way possible.
Embark on your adventure with Alienware—where the future of gaming begins.

Why are we just seeing tons of 27 inch monitors for 2025 so far? I would expect new 32 inch an larger monitors to iterate this year as well?

Okay, this is interesting. 360 Hz, 2160p and 27".

This is a very nice combination of panel specs. If it also had DisplayPort 2.1 (which should be appropriate consider this is pushing more than 48 Gbps now), a proper audio out port (headphone is sufficient, but a dual-output like their AW3423DW would be better) and BFI (highly unlikely, but hey), I'd hit it.

Because high refresh 4K 27 inch OLED panels are new and every vendor has a model to announce. Simple as.

Yeah I read the article too fast. :fear:I was hoping there was 4K 360Hz QD-OLED panel out somewhere now that 480Hz 1440p has gained traction.

I want to cry now.

I'm curious, why? 1440p at 32" is pretty rough pixel density, why would you want that?

Also, who is writing the Alienware press releases this year? They seem embarrassingly naïve. They're releasing the same monitor as at least 3 other OEMs & they say "Alienware is back with yet another groundbreaking innovation" :kookoo:

All of them are using the same narrative...the only outlier being MSI saying that it's a tandem OLED when the other don't seem to use that tech.

Aha, USD$899 as initial pricing, available in China first at 2025/01/22... got it.
Finally we got a ballpark on when and for how much all the new 27" 4K OLEDs will be available.

It only supports DP1.4. Not an instant turn-off for me, but this is expensive enough for a "why not splurge for the best" argument and for me to avoid this monitor.
