They&#8217;re also really expensive. Well, Alienware is bucking the trend in 2026 with one of the first OLED gaming monitor that actually caters to the masses. The 27&#8243; Alienware AW2726DM QHD 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor is now shipping at a budget-friendly launch price of $349.99, making it the least expensive 240Hz OLED monitor I&#8217;ve ever seen at MSRP. Even so, it comes with the same <strong>three year warranty with OLED burn-in coverage<\/strong> you would get with Alienware&#8217;s other pricier monitors.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">New Release: 27&#8243; Alienware AW2726DM OLED Gaming Monitor<\/h2>\n<div id=\"237713\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"237713\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"27&quot; Alienware AW2726DM QHD 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/04\/14\/alienwareaw2726dm-1776183058164.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/04\/14\/alienwareaw2726dm-1776183058164.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">27&#8243; Alienware AW2726DM QHD 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>5<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Alienware AW2726DM is a 27&#8243; monitor with a 2560&#215;1440 resolution and a pixel density of 111ppi, which is sharp enough for both gaming and general workstation use and boasts excellent text clarity. The panel uses Samsung&#8217;s quantum dot OLED technology. A QD OLED panel is brighter and has a wider color gamut than the more commonly found W-OLED panel. OLED monitors in general offer superior image quality compared to other monitors thanks to a combination of instantaneous response time, near-infinite black levels, and near-infinite contrast ratio.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"> Most &#8220;budget&#8221; OLED monitors have a native 60Hz-144Hz refresh rate, but the AW2726DM ups the ante with a native 240Hz panel, making it a great choice for games that have high-speed motion or require twitch-like reflexes (for example sports games, racing sims, and first person shooters). You&#8217;ll need to make sure you have an appropriate graphics card to achieve 240fps on a QHD monitor, ideally something like an RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon RX 9070 XT, although an RTX 5070 will be fine for older games like The Witcher 3, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike, or Valorant.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Two of these monitors would make a great multi-monitor setup for the upcoming Forza Horizon 6 game. Two of these monitors side-by-side is equivalent to a 49&#8243; monitor with 5120&#215;1440 resolution and it will be a lot cheaper than buying a dedicated 49&#8243; OLED monitor with similar specs.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Finally, the AW2726DM does include a 3 year warranty that includes burn-in coverage, which most other brands do not offer. Burn-in is less of an issue than it used to be because there are built-in, automated features designed to prevent it, but it can still happen. Dell offers assurance that it will address the issue if it ever arises.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
