Dell Launches Two New Alienware QD-OLED Gaming Monitors, Starting at US$550

What a stupid reply. There’s 100 other brands of displays to choose from.

Too bad they all use the same panel!

It doesn't make these products DOA though, considering that up until last year, every monitor shipped with it.


So then buy a monitor with DP 2.1, problem solved.
These are clearly targeting a certain price point.
DP 2.1 is likely to be a premium feature for at least another couple of years, even at lower data rates.

If they were rated gsync on HDMI it wouldn't be so bad. Sure you can turn it on with hdmi but it's not always right, it usually is but not always.

I see these as more of a console display than a pc display. Imo monitors should last for 2 or 3 gpu generations at least.

Well, considering that until this year, there was what, 2-3 cards that had DP 2.1, it hasn't even been possible to take advantage of DP 2.1, so it's no so strange that there's a bit of a lag, especially as from my understanding, there's a real cost difference between the display controller ICs with DP 2.1 vs the common type with DP 1.4. This is likely to change as DP 2.1 becomes the norm, but as I said, it'll take 2-3 years until there's some kind of cost parity, as always.

RDNA 3 has DP 2.1 and Arc has 2.0. It's already been over 2 years. Even if it can't hit full bandwidth, the compression improves with higher bandwidth.

Also, they should have added a KVM, apparently that trend caught them sleeping.

I'll take that as a hint that you shouldn't use this for work

Arc has 2.0

Arc is 2.1 as well, everything certified to DP2.0 also meets DP2.1. The difference is bandwidth with Arc only doing UHBR10 and RDNA3 doing UHBR13.5
