Alienware <\/b>just launched a tantalising gaming monitor for users with entry-level or mid-range gaming rigs.<\/p>\nAlienware 27 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor<\/h2>\n
At S$499<\/b>, the Alienware 27 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor<\/b> (AW2726DM) combines QD-OLED panel quality with a maximum 240Hz refresh rate, on top of 0.03ms response times, colour coverage of 99% (DCI-P3), and T\u00dcV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification for (3-stars).<\/p>\n
To take full advantage of its 240Hz refresh rate, the monitor has one DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.3). If you only need 120Hz, it still has two HDMI 2.1 ports. Beyond these ports, the monitor also has an Audio Headphone-Out port.<\/p>\n Alienware 27 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW2726DM)\u2019s ports.<\/p>\n Image: Alienware (Dell)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The only catch (and why it\u2019s below S$500) is the 2,560 x 1,440 pixels resolution panel and the lack of USB ports. While it\u2019s not a 4K-resolution monitor, Alienware kept the sacrifice to a minimum by ensuring it supports gaming rigs across all tiers.<\/p>\n That is made clear by the monitor\u2019s GPU support for variable refresh rates and screen-tearing mitigation. AW2726DM supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync, making it compatible with graphics cards across different brands.<\/p>\n Other perks include tilting (-5\u00b0 to 21\u00b0), swivelling (-360\u00b0 to 360\u00b0), and pivoting (-90\u00b0 to + 90\u00b0) to cover basic ergonomic needs, and it also supports VESA mounting (100 x 100mm). The panel also comes with its own stand, power cable, and one HDMI cable, allowing users to set up quickly and start playing.<\/p>\n Alienware 27 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW2726DM).<\/p>\n Image: Alienware (Dell)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n If you don\u2019t require 4K resolution or your gaming rig is on the lower end of the scale, the AW2726DM offers a tidy compromise between its price and features.\u00a0<\/p>\n Typical OLED-adjacent gaming monitors with full 4K resolution and refresh rates beyond 120Hz can cost anywhere from 2x to 5x more, especially if they support additional features like HDMI eARC, a built-in USB hub, or wireless connectivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n If your priority is colour accuracy and smooth-looking gameplay from a reputed brand that wouldn\u2019t drain your bank account, the Alienware 27 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor tries to fill that demand.<\/p>\n It\u2019s now available on Dell\u2019s Singapore online store (S$499)<\/u>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSo, is this gaming monitor good?<\/h2>\n
